4th £5 App – Linc’s Button Box

Yesterday we held our 4th FivePoundApp meet and Linc Smith gave a great talk about his ‘response box’ developed inside ioLab.

Linc’s talk is a change from our regular software talks as the response box is a hardware system. Linc showed us how he designed and produced these boxes which improve upon the current state of the art. The boxes have a Mac-like feel to them and are rather nice to look at.

Linc says:

“He is happy to give advice on small-run electronics manufacturing or just low volume manufacturing in general. He is also open to collaborations with people who have an idea for a product (electronic or otherwise) but no experience in manufacturing.”

Jane has some great photos (including one of me that should never have seen the light of day) under the £5 App flickr tag.

Pitches:
I presented my thoughts on a skills-board that I think would benefit Brighton. – more on this in a future blog post. Next Danny and Ben presented their ideas for ArtMeddler where artists can show how they develop their work.

Announces:
Madgex are recruiting (Sussex Digital jobs link anyone?). Jon (Inuda) and I presented our plan for OpenCoffee Sussex which was successfully held this morning at the Sussex Innovation Centre.

Write-up: Jane Dallaway.

Next event August 14th.
