57North is a hacker collective with a shared space (known as the hacklab, hackspace, hackerspace, or simply just the space) located in Aberdeen, Scotland. We meet regularly to share knowledge, hack on projects together, and build community.

Projects

Club Mate

We will me making and giving away a club mate 'like' adventureMate. A drink released under a CC0 license, available for all to make their own with simple equipment. User:adventureloop and User:Hibby will be producing batches of the mate throughout the weekend.

SSTV Receiving Station

To encourage a bit of SSTV at EMF, I will be running an SSTV recieving station that will be uploading images recieved to the Internet. Depending on the amount of free time irl has, these will either just be on a webpage, or also tweeted to a dedicated Twitter account too.

Things you could SSTV:

• cool hacks
• people having fun (but only if the people consent to having their photo broadcasted on the air and then uploaded to the Internet)
• pictures of cats

I've managed to do SSTV using nothing but an Android phone, 3.5mm jack lead and a Baofeng UV-5R so you have no excuses for not getting involved.

The station will be listening on:

   433.4000 MHz   U272; IARU Region 1 SSTV (FM/AFSK)

Before sending an image, point out that you're going to do so on the 2m talk-in. This allows others to also recieve your lovely cat pictures.

Martin 1 should be used for this as that's where I've had the best results in testing. The station will be set to automatically detect though, so it will pick up Scottie 1 too.

Let me know if you have any ideas/suggestions.
