This page was started by User:Katie after the LED Cuff workshop to record her thoughts about potential improvements, but anyone is welcome to contribute to it.
General Lessons Learned
- If attendees need to register, make it more than obvious that they do.
- Limit participation to about a dozen people so as not to overcrowd the space. Hold multiple sessions if needed to accommodate people.
- Bring extra materials and tools -- participants will lose track of things, especially small things, or want to start over with a fresh whatever-it-is.
- Signs posted in the building directing people to HacDC are a good thing.
LED Cuff-specific Lessons Learned
- The instructions could use a good diagram of the layout of everything in and on the cuff.
- Ditch the velcro, which is too hard to sew by hand, in favor of snaps or something like that.
- Bring a seam ripper for fixing mistakes.
- A standard hole punch will jam and possibly break when you use it to abuse leather or other leather-like material.
- These LEDs may be cheaper.
