Some project ideas I might look into. If anyone has comments on these, please add to this page or the comment page for this page.

• Laptop stand (in progress)
  • elevate laptop
  • legs which screw off / detach so I can store the stand flat
• Lap counter for counting how many lengths I've done when swimming
  • probably cheaper to buy than make, but that's not the point
  • needs a waterproof, watch-style housing
  • buttons through case will be interesting
    • can get away with a single button - tap to add lap, hold for a few seconds to reset
  • Possible extra functions:
    • time since start
    • mean time per lap
    • min/max time per lap
• Panorama assist mount for camera
  • single plane of rotation with "notches" every so many degrees
  • both horizontal and vertical axis of rotation
  • should rotate around sensor of camera
• Make a spot welder from microwave oven parts
  • [1]
• calagator instance for Midlands
  • Found out about and emailed Nottingham Digital Community. Seems like too much of a cross over to be worth doing.
• Lightweight folding shade structure
