This project is not dead, it’s just pining for the fjords!
Actually, I’ve been up to my neck in:
- rebuilding the circuit from scratch
- debugging software
- debugging hardware
- redesigning circuitry
This is all stuff that is slow and relatively unglamorous.
I’ve been working frantically because I’ll be in LA next weekend showing the microscope at the Enormous Microscopic Evening at the Armand Hammer Museum in UCLA on November 6th at 4pm, and I’d really like to have version 0.2 ready for the exhibit.
I’ve learned a lot in the past month – notably that I had made a few poor design assumptions (now thankfully corrected).
Many thanks to everyone for being patient, everyone who has helped me with debugging and redesign, and to CRITTER salon for inviting me to the Enormous Microscopic Evening!
I’m happy to announce the formation of a new Open Science group here in Chicago, called ChiOpenSci. We’re open to enthusiasts, amateurs, researchers, hobbyists, anyone interested in solving scientific problems using (and making) open source and open culture tools and philosophy.
