Dublin Maker 2019

Dublin Maker is a free to attend, community-run event, which will be held on Saturday, July 20th, 2019 in Merrion Square, Dublin. Dublin Maker takes the form of a “show and tell” experience where inventors/makers sourced through an open call, will have an opportunity to showcase their creations at individual booths in a carnival atmosphere. It is a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the maker movement. It’s a place where people show what they are making and share what they are learning.

It has an eclectic mix of makers, high tech robots, jellyfish experiments, homemade looms, laser cutters and lots more. At Dublin Maker, we will have a range of new projects and old favourites. Fully addressable full colour LED cube, Polarisation art, DIY Air quality sensors, Handmade boat models and our crowd-pleaser Skull Radio.

Air Quality Sensor In Tog

We have a very busy workshop in Tog. Lots of activities generate dust but up until now, we have no way to quantify it.

The design is based on the luftdaten project. The difference with this model than the previous sensor on our blog, we went for a 3D printed case. The case was created by Netobrev and is available on Thingiverse. The case is made up of four parts and approximately 5 hours to print.

The new model supports an LCD screen. It displays the current values from the sensors. For more build photos from this project check out our gallery.

All sensor data is stored on the Open Sense Map website.
