@heliomass @anna_propriate reasonably sure they just use diesel/batteries at the moment. Though I’ve not ventured that way in a while.

@anna_propriate @heliomass Tyne and Wear metro is ohle, not third rail. It is different voltage to the national rail network

State of the Map Europe Oct 17

Did you know #OpenStreetMap can cover indoor areas too?
This is Gregory's attempt to map some of the rooms and corridors of Abertay University, which will host the #sotmeu25 conference next month.

He's used the "Simple Indoor Tagging" schema to describe the spaces, and it's being rendered by the "Indoor=" website.

A better and more complete example is the Meadowhall shopping centre in Sheffield. https://indoorequal.org/#map=16/53.41384/-1.41329&level=

We've also got the been told Holiday Inn Express and Staybridge Inn may release their guaranteed rates for #sotmeu25 tonight. We're trying to extend that, as they've been the most popular through this portal: https://dacbres.bzon.uk/event/state-of-the-map-europe-14-15-november-2025/

EMF Badge Aug 27, 2025

Hey All - New Release Day!

We've pushed out v1.9.1, which incorporates a bunch of little bugfixes and nice to haves, along with fixing OTA updates and making them a little more resilient in future.

Because OTA is broken in current released versions (😢) you'll need to use the webflasher or CLI to update - instructions @ https://emfcamp.github.io/badge-2024-software/

Hitchin Hackspace Sep 7, 2024

Regular readers (do we have any 😉) ... May remember we had a "thing" we had hoped to have ready for @emf but sadly we weren't able to get it ready in time. Well today the thing made it's first appearance at the Airbus #Stevenage Fun day.
We present to you for your delictation and entertainment the GameBoy Monumental. The screen is made up of 48 500mm x 125mm/64 x 16 pixel RGB LED display panels arranged in a 1.5m tall 2m wide display. The individual LED modules were built in to 6 off 1m by 0.5m sub panels ( 2 x 500mm squares) with each sub panel driven by a #RaspberryPico I don't have all the details yet but will provide more soon. We have some development and build photos which I will post shortly. I suspect a full technical write up should appear on our website in due course. The panels are part of a batch of over 200 we were given by London Hackspace some years ago. #RaspberryPi #RetroGaming #GameBoy #Upscale #ThisWontFitInYourPocket
