Greetings, Tomorrow will be this month's installment of Nerd Nite East Bay. The Nerd Nite franchise puts on good shows and is generally a safe bet for supernerdiness combined with alcohol, or either one of those by themselves depending on personal preference. The SF Nerd Nite almost always sells out, but the East Bay version is only just getting started. I went to last month's episode, and it was Good. However, I think THIS month is going to be Great. They'll have Jessica Richman from uBiome, one of the guys on the Curiosity (Mars rover) team, and something about fabrication (not my bag but I'm sure it'll be fun anyway): http://www.bayareascience.org/calendar/index.php?com=detail&eID=9578 And it occurs to me that much of this will come as no news to some of you. (In remotely related news, this message constitutes my first email to the sudo-discuss list.) Anyway, there's a small chance I will not make it due to utter exhaustion from overcommitting myself (as usual), but if I know some of y'all will be there, I'll plan my stimulant intake accordingly. Cheers, Naomi

Arduino current protection code?

by Tracy Jacobs

Hi all and Jake if you get this, Does anyone know the bit of code for protecting your arduino from current spikes? I could use that now. I'm trying to run a bunch of heavy duty servos with a bit of a load. They have a separate power supply, but I'm not using any motor controller. Does this seem like a bad idea? Could that little code provide enough protection from current spikes? Thanks for your advice, Tracy Thanks for your advice.

Sudo Needs Your Help

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, At the last meeting I proposed we return to a practice of developing specific action items with corresponding members for each item. You can see them here: http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2013-02-20 I'd like to do this again, but for much bigger items: 1. Door Access Automation version 0.2 2. Fiscal Solvency Improvements 3. Membership process 4. sudoroom.org version 2.0 Add notes and read more here: https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroom I'm happy to help facilitate and keep track of progress on more things, but inversely, I need more help from other members to implement solutions (which are hopefully simple, elegant systems). // Matt

Re: [sudo-discuss] Crowdsourcing a "safe space" definition
