Proposals to improve Noisebridge. Edit

Culteejen Proposal

Proposal for y'all:

• As mentioned before, I wanted to create an app that can show people if / how many people in the space. I whipped up the server side stuff tonight (I tested it on my bot channel) to demonstrate what it would look like.
• I'm thinking there would be something like a button you would press at the space to increment / decrement the number, and it would update the number on the server
• screenshot prototype

CRimier Proposal

It's an entry panel kiosk, with a quick (and, hopefully, intuitive) workflow to answer "entering/leaving, how many people, for how long, which rooms" questions Image a few custom PCBs, the pads are captouch (the heart board is a TTP229 breakout) runs on ESP8266/32, I have MicroPython firmware written for everything except the actual "send data somewhere" part because I never defined the API I'd be interacting with but it reads buttons and processes them according to the planned UX flow it's A4-sized and 3mm, designed to be easily cuttable on a K40 also, designed to collect anonymous data, of course so if such a workflow would help you, I can publish the non-yet-published design files and code, and mail the assembled&tested custom PCBs I have I've designed this to be helpful to other hackerspaces, it's just that I've never gotten to actually getting my shit together and publishing it all
