Meeting point for programers, graphic designers and sound specialists around the lake & about the topic of game development. Opportunity to present projects, give presentations, develop something together, game testing and more.

Experiments with Arduino

An Arduino is a small computer board that is used to create exciting things. Regardless of whether lights blink or a beeper beeps: With the Arduino, you can easily build an alarm system or control a small robot. The Toolbox regularly holds workshops for and with kids in order to get them to know this little magical device.

Retro Computing

We collect old hardware (and software) and try to make them work again in order to make them available to people who are interested in Retro Computing.

C3WOC

Waffles are an important part of the diet of nerds and chaotic living beings. That's the reason why the C3 Waffle Operation Center was developed. Now, we will make some waffle experiments in the Toolbox.

C6

The C3 Cluster Computing Council is a group of Cluster and High Performance Computing enthusiasts. We collect computing power, set up our own Cluster and HPC systems and program our own Cluster/Batch Framework.

Ham Radio

The Toolbox is a place that attracts hobbyists, inventors and technology enthusiasts from all walks of life. There are also people with an amateur radio license and a small amateur radio station in the Toolbox.

Our goal is to alter a model plane to make it fly autonomously. In order to do so, we develop an own flight controller, software and hardware so that the plane can take off, land and head to specific route points.

3D Printing

In the Toolbox, various 3D printers are available free to use and are regularly maintained and optimzed by a compentent team of experts.

Freifunk

Freefunk is a decentralized, independent citizens' network with access to the Internet. Freefunk means open, unrestricted and free digital communication. Anyone can connect free of charge via wi-fi, without a password or registration. Everyone can use, participate in and expand Freifunk.

We developed a arduino-based telescope autotracking with many additional functions for the Überlingen oberservatory.

Floppy Organ

Our internationally known floppy organ can not only be looked at and tried out in our club house but we also regularly take it to faires and other exhibitions such as the Maker Faire Bodensee in Friedrichshafen.
