[GRLUG] RepRap / Arduino

[Tim Schmidt]

Anyone interested in either RepRap
(http://reprap.org/bin/view/Main/WebHome) or Arduino
(http://www.arduino.cc/) in lower michigan? (The Grand Rapids,
Lansing, and Detroit areas mainly)

There are about 15 of us so far (many from various Penguicon mailing
lists) working toward an active Michigan RepRap User's group.  The
idea being not only to spread knowledge and spare parts, but to get
together and turn wrenches on each others' machines.

The RepRap project encompasses many disciplines...  our core
electronics are based on Arduino, so we have a bit of experience
working with them - hence the double-subject.  I've worked a bit with
KiCAD designing various Arduino-based circuits.  3D modeling is used
everywhere.  And many of us do it all on Linux.

So if you're interested in attending a meet, or helping organize one,
or if you are building or thinking about building a RepRap or similar
CNC machine, or just interested in interdisciplinary design, stop on
by to irc://irc.freenode.net/##mireprap and say hi.
