====== 'Active' Projects ======

There are many things in and around the space which are being hacked. Here are some. Also see [[public:digital]]

===== Automation =====

See space status on [[https://mosquitto.shhm.uk/automation/]].

===== Environment Monitoring =====

==== Extech SD800 ====

The green monitor is an [[https://www.flir.com/products/sd800/|Extech SD800]]. It currently saves data to an SD card. We are trying to get data out via the RS232 port.

For progress, ask alifeee. Currenty, we can see no output from the RS232 port, and we are not sure why.

==== Other monitoring ====

see [[public:projects:monitoring|monitoring]]

===== Football fixtures bot =====

There is a bot (run by @alifeee) that posts upcoming football fixtures to Discord. Source code: https://github.com/sheffieldhackspace/football-fixtures-webhook

===== Info Beamer =====

The commons TV is set up with [[https://info-beamer.com/|Info Beamer]] which can display web-pages, images, videos, etc. alifeee has the login to change the pages and layout.

if you have any suggestions, let @alifeee know — they are probably good suggestions ;]

Currently:

  - press 1 for [[public:projects:monitoring]] (Grafana environment sensing)
  - press 2 for space state, accessible on http://sensing.shhm.uk:8000/ ([[https://github.com/sheffieldhackspace/space-state-visualiser|source]])
  - press 3 for [[public:projects:monitoring]] (Grafana power monitoring)
  - press "w" or "p" or "t" on the keyboard for some secret pages ;]

===== LED Coffee Table =====

coming soon.

Microbit: https://makecode.microbit.org/

===== Operational Signage =====

These signs of tools and manuals come from https://www.weareeveryone.org/workshop-manuals.

The pages printed are fabric (2,3,4,5,6,10,11,18,19,23,24,25), power tools (2,3,4,6,8,9,10,12), digital (2,3,4,6,7,9,11).

===== Print server =====

See [[public:2d_printers]]

===== Train Station Signs =====

There is one large black LCD display extracted from an old blue train station radio clock, gifted by Nottingham Hackspace. See [[https://github.com/sheffieldhackspace/train-signs|the GitHub]]. It currently <del>[[https://github.com/alifeee/openbenches-train-sign|displays memorial benches]]</del> runs a widget server displaying various information bits.

===== Sensing Raspberry Pi =====

{{public:2026-04_sensing-pi.webp?200|}}

There is a Raspberry Pi running several things. You can see a list of everything on it via http://sensing.shhm.uk/.

Here's another list that's probably less – or maybe more – out of date.

  * monitoring stuff (see [[public:projects:monitoring]])
    * influxdb
    * prometheus
    * grafana
  * exporters (see [[public:projects:monitoring]])
    * node_exporter
    * shelly pro 3em exporter (https://github.com/sheffieldhackspace/shellypro3em-mqtt-prometheus-exporter)
    * brother exporter (https://github.com/d0ugal/brother-exporter)
  * custom things
    * MQTT listener (https://github.com/sheffieldhackspace/hackspace-sensing-mqtt-listener/)
    * space state viz (https://github.com/sheffieldhackspace/space-state-visualiser)

===== Space State Visualiser =====
