[Mesh] Cancelled: EBV installation Saturday August 12

Hello everyone, I hate to change plans last minute, but unfortunately our installation at EBV will have to be postponed until next week. Instead, I need your help finishing up the 1-minute gardenmesh video for the National Geographic Chasing Genius grant, due Aug 15th. This is a great opportunity to see the technology, meet some of it's builders and help us get out first major round of funding! So, I will be at the OMNI commons tomorrow from 2pm-8pm recording and editing the video that we will submit Monday Aug 14th. I will be providing free beer and pizza for this event starting at 2pm until it is gone - so I look forward to seeing you there! Let me know if you have any questions! -Mario On Aug 10, 2017 20:41, "Mario Gabiati" &lt;mgabiati(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: Hello everyone, Again, thank you for your interest in the GardenMesh project, keep checking for our new landing page which should be in the next few days at " www.peoplesopen.net/gardenmesh"quot;. For those of you unfamiliar with the project, Counter Culture Labs and Sudoroom have teamed up to create a super low cost environmental sensor that meshes automatically over a self-generated Wi-Fi network. We are working to build software that makes gathering real-time data elementary for any user at an accessible price. We are ready with 5 new prototypes ready for installation into our first test environments, and East Bay Vivarium (1827 Fifth Street c, Berkeley, CA 94710) has graciously agreed to allow us to use some of their enclosures as our first environmental test sites! *PLEASE NOTE* : Due to a schedule change, we need to install the units Saturday August 12th, NOT Friday August 11. We will be meeting at EBV at noon (12p) Saturday August 12th. We will be taking a look at the units and exploring the store, and begin installation under EBV supervision starting around 1pm. Afterwards, I will be hosting a discussion and meet-and-greet for anyone who is curious about the project at Doc's Refresher (984 University Ave, Berkeley, CA 94710). I hope to see you there! If you have any questions or are having trouble finding the group after you arrive you can contact me, Mario, at (323)-314-0783 <(323)%20314-0783>. Keep on meshing on! -Mario On Aug 10, 2017 15:31, "G Gallo" &lt;ggallo102(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: Hello gardenmeshers, Sierk and I have been hard at work preparing various parts of the project for the Nat Geo grant and the East Bay Vivarium prototype roll out. A few updates from my end: 1. We have ~6 working prototypes (aka Garden Gnodes) thanks to the prototyping party last Sunday 2. We now have a way of remotely updating the scripts running on the Garden Gnodes via telnet (if interested check out this script <https://github.com/sudomesh/gardenmesh/blob/master/remoteupload.sh>) 3. With the help of Jake (from sudoroom), we also now have a few Garden Gnodes being **safely** powered by Li-Po batteries. 4. I recently procured some analog multiplexers so we should be able to test the light sensors soon. 5. The roll out at the East Bay Vivarium is planned for tomorrow at 9:30am, this should be as simple as setting up one of our peoplesopen.net routers, connecting it to their internet, and then plugging in the Garden Gnodes in their respective tanks. I plan at being at the Omni most of this evening preparing at least five of the prototypes to be deployed at the Vivarium. This will involve flashing the NodeMCU firmware, uploading the gardenmesh Lua script, and checking that the remote update feature works correctly. If any one is interested in learning about the hardware/firmware side of the project feel free to stop by the Omni tonight (it's also weekly JavaScript night!). I know there were a few people that came by this week interested in the project, but I do not have their emails. Mario, if you want to add them to this thread that would be great. -grant On Tue, Aug 8, 2017 at 12:04 AM, Bullitt Bourbon &lt;bb(a)elleko.net&gt; wrote:
