A recent submission showed a work in progress design for a drinkshield integrated with additional hardware to develop anautomated alert system. Very cool stuff! We can’t wait to see more! Acknowledgements: Brian Barnett Eugene Vaynshteyn Hedarson Erardo Sam Cabrera
Jon Neal just sent in an amd64 debian package that works. Code was uploaded to SVN and tested. Once I get x86 binaries compiled I will upload both of those to the site and post an update when they are ready. But for now I want to congratulate Jon for completing the first GfxHax bug bounty. You [...]
Ok, one of the reasons we have not posted in a while is that life has caught up with us and restricted our time greatly. This is really unfortunate because we have several things that were reaching release. One of those things is a debian package for the DrinkDuino Game. This is the game interface [...]
After having a great time with our first demo at OLF we decided we really needed leaderboards to show off everyones scores. So I put together a small PHP leaderboard app that can read the DB From the DrinkDuino Game as well as a script to convert the images to something a little more web-friendly. [...]
GfxHax will be at the Ohio Linux Fest in Columbus, this Saturday (Sept 11th). We are sharing a vendor table with DualCore and I plan on bringing all the stuff I have from our online store. I will have plenty of Drink Shield kits and will bring the newest alpha release of the DrinkDuino Game [...]
GfxHax now carries the Diavolino boards (aka. little devil kits) from Evil Mad Science. These are small, cost-effective Arduino clones. GfxHax offers a power kit for the Diavolino boards, specifically designed for optimal performance with the Drink Shields. If you’d like, you can add a DC Jack kit with an enhanced voltage regulator and a [...]
I posted my first thing on Thingiverse!! This is a DrinkShield straw holder. Turns out when people drink several of them like to put their lips on the MQ-3 sensor…which is a bit hot, since it’s a heater. So I created this free straw holder in OpenScad! You can download all the plans and the [...]
Ok, the phpBB forum is up and running. It’s still ugly but it should be functional. I believe I have wordpress login integration working. So if you have an account with the blog it should create an account automatically for you in phpBB. Eventually I will create a full style to support complete integration but [...]
I’ve added the Eagle source files for both the board and schematic to Google Code for the DrinkShield. I also uploaded the uber-alpha version of the DrinkDuino Game. It is playable but a lot of graphics still need to be worked on and I don’t have webcam support added yet. But if you can’t wait [...]
The Store is now officially opened. Hopefully everything is working properly! We also have DrinkSheilds!! You can buy those as well as some other supplies in the store. Also if you stop by the Cincinnati Hackerspace Hive13 when I’m there I can sell you one as well. I also plan on being at the Ohio Linux [...]
