Hakspeys in the southern capital (China, Nanjing)

We continue our series of stories about the hackspaces of China (we have already visited the Shenzhen hackspaces - TechSpace , Chaihuo Make Space , Shanghai and Beijing hackspaces), and this time we will visit the city of Nanjing - the historic capital of China. Nanking, in a literal translation - "the southern capital." The capital of the Middle Kingdom until 1421. A city with more than 2400 years of history, and now with more than 8 million inhabitants.

Recall that Hackspace is usually a spontaneous organization of people who are interested in jointly studying robotics, gadgets and high technologies, receiving and sharing new knowledge. Each hackspace is unique - because created from the needs of its members.

As a rule, hackspace is:

• jointly rented room in which:
• common table - a place for collaboration, communication
• computer workstations
• good internet
• workplaces for working with microelectronics (soldering stations, oscilloscope, etc.)
• library of electronic components (Arduino, RPi, etc.)
• Equipment: CNC, router, 3D printer, laser cutter / engraving, etc.
• joinery workshop
• refrigerator with water / food
• gaming retro-machines
• various projects of the participants

Let's see what of this is in the hacking space of Nanking.

We see the main table, conference monitor, wi-fi access point:


Here is the desktop:


Of the unusual note the presence of construction tools - apparently the room is still under repair.

And just to the right on the table we see a box from the Cubelets robo-set:

Soldering - soldering dryer (for surface mounting), and a soldering station.



Artifact (if anyone knows Chinese - can read):



Information about Wi-Fi access:



The drilling machine is rising:



Here is a CNC milling machine:



Good lighting:


What is not in the basement is a plus. And the fragments of the design is a delta 3d printer.

But the view from a different angle, zoning is visible - a common table (marker board), jobs:



The room is relatively large.

Member Projects

Let's see what interesting things are among the projects of the participants of this hackspace.

Some mysterious DIY CNC (based on disk drive engines), if anyone knows what it is, tell me:



Light led cube:



Probably there is a testing controller stepper motors:



Quadcopter, the projects of these flying frames can often be found in hackspaces:



In this example, it is more correct to say "tricopter".

Here is an interesting project:


I can not understand, or the author wants to repeat the stadium the Bird's Nest.



Or to collect some kind of tesla-energy generator from the ether :)

Conditions / Participants
Hakspeys in the city of Nanjing is contained in contributions from 20 participants who pay 200 yuan per month (about 1600 rubles). The room is rented for 3000 yuan per month (about 25 tr). There are no additional sponsors - all purchases are at the expense of members. People come on Saturdays and Sundays.

Impression
Of course, hackspace in Nanjing is not the most advanced in terms of equipment, but the fact that people could organize, rent a room, buy equipment and do their own projects that they are interested in is a plus.

Visit the hackspace in your city
If you are interested in hackspaces - you can search in your city - hackspeys, fablabs, TsMITs. If you do not find it, you can always organize it - the main thing is to assemble a team of enthusiasts.
