Hardware

If you have issues with your hardware swing by and we can see if there is a quick fix. We will have spare parts!

Software

We plan to experiment with some more phones to improve BLE support. If you want to work on the wiki feel free too. Lots of people wo know around ;)

Wearware

We still have plenty of conductive thread and a lot of ideas. Do you have some too?

generative 3D printed card10 cover design

Learn more about the generative 3D printed card10 covers (https://github.com/royrobotiks/card10_cover), get inspired for you own generative designs, and learn skills for implementing them with openSCAD.

MicroPython introduction

If you haven’t dared trying to write your own apps for your card10, now is your chance to learn how to do it! Programming your card10 using MicroPython is easy to learn, and all you need is your laptop (preferably linux), a usb-C cable, and of course your card10.

App discovery

There are hundreds of card10 apps in the hatchery. Let’s start the day by exchanging our favourite discoveries, and trying some new ones.

card10 @ 36C3

Camp is over, but congress is already coming up! Everyone is welcome to join collecting ideas and planning card10 action for congress.

Repair cafe

Open hardware means you can fix it! We’re bringing some spare parts, and plenty of assistance is around, so together we can restore the broken bits of some card10s.

Obviously, you should bring your card10 if you want to fix it ;), everything else will be around at the event.

Documentation

Let’s get together and make an effort to share what we know, or ask some new questions that need answering and documenting.

Bring questions :) Also, a laptop will be very useful for writing documentation.

Sewing wearables

Extend your card10 on the wristband, with some blinking LEDs. We’ll have needles, thread, and LEDs.

You should definitely bring your card10, you can also bring your own LEDs, or if you have any wearable sensors you’d like to attach we can try to figure out how to connect them to your card10 together.

Accomodation

xHain is not a place to sleep, so please make sure you have some accomodation. Get in touch with us on IRC/Matrix if you don’t know.
