Re: [sudo-discuss] [sudo-announce] Microcontroller Hacking begins in 48 hours!

by hol＠gaskill.com

Hi Steve, I put that project up on the etherpad. Last night we did 2-axis control of a webcam using hobby servos controlled by an arduino with pointing instructions sent via serial and we have a few industrial servos used for HVAC that I would like to experiment with at some point for dish pointing. They are there next to the dishes if you want to check them out and pull the datasheets, run on 24V ac or dc with an odd way of sending the signal. Personally I am trying (and failing somewhat) to focus on CNC and brewing/process control so it might be a while before I can help with a detailed project, but I would like to figure out how to drive those servos. What kind of pointing accuracy do you need? My guess is that these will not cut it, but that doesn't mean we can't put something together. Still have not had a second rocket meetup either now that I think of it...

It requires smooth and precise, but slow movement. >Who is it that is interested in this project?

As someone suggested, I created a facebookpage for the event. Please invite people you think might be interested! I previously ordered 10 ATMega328p chips and crystals, and will have them available at cost ($5) for those just starting out who want a basic controller. > > Event Link: > https://www.facebook.com/events/502675869769339/ > > Also, there is an etherpad to jot down projects you intend to work on in case anyone out there is interested in collaborating: > https://pad.riseup.net/p/microbotics > This will be an ongoing document, and is intended to provide a subsystem-level view of project elements in order to encourage people to join together to work on individual elements or principles where interests overlap in a way that permits a limited scope of collaboration, without having to commit to recurring work on an entire project. > > We had some interesting projects last time and I expect even more this time, hopefully with a few people from the last event returning to show what they've done with their projects since then. Personally I will try to go back and forth between 50% working on 2-3 projects, 30% getting newbies started on their controller builds, and 20% snacking/shooting the shit.

Off grid energy panels that we don't see in the cool Silicon Valley tech talks

by Romy Ilano

I'm seeing very smart conversations about off grid alternative energy infrastructure and systems here Is there a way to easily show me in a chart what the off grid alternatives are that are not discussed in the cool Silicon Valley greentech scene? And I hope nobody bashes greentech too much... It's become such a dirty word in the investment community because its returns are not quick and easy like mobile social networks There are a lot of great biofuels panels I worked on where the idea of off grid wasn't presented because its not a viable business model. I think the lesbian biofuels reclaimed cooking oil gas station in Berkeley I met a fee years ago was neat but it was hard to make people see it as relevant in a deal flow So I feel my education is incomplete as are other Americans --- Romy Ilano Founder of Snowyla http://www.snowyla.com romy(a)snowyla.com

Please help pay dues / our rent (we're going to be short), plus seeking materials for a (physical) drop box.

by Tommy York

As Marina mentioned in her email, we're *short rent* and need to *collect dues* from everyone to cover it. I understand that meeting attendance hasn't been as high as active membership in general, but if you've missed out on paying dues in the last month, can do so, and can make it tonight, come! One thing I thought might make a significant different in collecting rent and dues is having a (physical) drop box installed on the wall in Sudoroom, so that people could safely drop off checks at any time of the day. I suppose this would be much like the mailbox, but mayhaps with keys distributed to the ~5 checksigners, so that checks could even be dropped off in this physical box after receiving them in the mail. I'm broke until I get my first paycheck from my new work in ~2.5 weeks, and don't really have a lot of things, so I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas about a potential lockable dropbox to install on the wall / somewhere at Sudoroom. If all else fails, I'll check out urban ore before the meeting. tl;dr: pay rent. - tommy ----------------- Thomas Riley York (杨德民) 510.926.0510 http://www.linkedin.com/in/tommyyork

Need help reshaping some data with pandas (and/or numpy)...

by Naomi Most

Hello nice persons, Would any of you python mathematical types be willing to help me solve a problem using pandas (and/or numpy)? The math itself isn't hard; the difficulty revolves around my unfamiliarity with the tools, and good god is this ever a huge load of learning I'm having to do just to reshape some data. --Naomi -- Naomi Theora Most naomi(a)nthmost.com +1-415-728-7490 skype: nthmost http://twitter.com/nthmost

Re: [sudo-discuss] [support.iocoop.org #1711] wikispot.org server

Anyone able to pick up a server for sudo? // Matt ----- Reply message ----- From: "Philip Neustrom" <philip(a)localwiki.org> To: "Matthew Senate" <mattsenate(a)gmail.com> Subject: [support.iocoop.org #1711] wikispot.org server Date: Mon, Mar 25, 2013 11:41 PM I don't have a car, but localwiki can donate this server to sudoroom if we can figure out a way to pick it up and transport.

How should we coordinate this? May be easiest for us to just take it and hand it off to Amit if he wants it. Thanks for all your amazing work!! Philip

sudo room Press File / Archive

by Maximilian Klein

After digging through some archives of c-base (an epic hackerspace in Berlin), I thought it'd be wise to start collecting memories of sudo room. I've created http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Press to neutrally and unbiasedly start charting our journey from fledgling to Mother Goose to wayward hackers. Please, 'read all about it'. add, and expound http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Press without confusion, notconfusing
