robot wants a router tool so it can carve wood

by Jake

the robot was asking me last night "when can i start carving statues out of wood? or at least carve SUDOROOM into a piece of wood?" i answered, sadly, that i didn't have a router for it to use. But maybe one of you robot-lovers wants to get it one? This would be ideal: http://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DWP611-Torque-Variable-Compact/dp/B0048EFUV8 it also doubles as a human-usable tool. I don't know if we have anything like this already but if not, let's get something. I already wrote a program to write SUDOROOM with a sharpie, we could just use the same program with the router to carve pieces of wood... -jake

robot hacking - help crack the code!

by Jake

brendan and I have been working on a python program to pretend to be the disk drive of the robot (which connects to it over serial) the hope is to be able to save and load programs from the robot to a normal computer, like the 3d printer (to which it is presently attached) i hooked up a logic analyzer to spy on the conversation between the robot and its disk drive, and the results are here: http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/floppy-loadafile.logicdata there are other .logicdata files in there too, some don't have the session configured to decode the serial data (4800 baud, EVEN parity, inverted) you can read the analyzed data with Salae Logic, a free download. OR just read the python program we wrote: https://github.com/jerkey/yasnac/blob/master/src/engine.py on line 36 we answer the robot's request to LST the files by sending the following text: (in the program it's constructed from two strings) "\x02\x13\x00LST0001123.JBI \x00\xfc" this works (the robot responds with ACK) but it we change ANYTHING it doesn't like it and says NAK NAK NAK i thought the last byte would be a checksum, but the whole thing does NOT add up to something divisible by 256, and furthermore if I change the file name (123.JBI) to 124.JBI AND change the last \xfc to \xfb, it fails - which means it is not using a simple checksum (right?) help figure this out! we need to be able to send the robot arbitrary filenames and have it accept the packet (and then we can start sending the program data) -jake

IndieBio SF launch and BIohacker Demo day this Tues

by Ryan Bethencourt

Hi All, Please find attached an invitation to all the local biohacker groups from Arvind at SOS ventures. If you'd like to come, you're welcome to! All the best, Ryan ======Event Description======= The biotech revolution is here. For the last 3 months we have been accelerating 6 companies in the worlds first synthetic biotech accelerator, SynBio axlr8r. Each with a development and release timeline more on par with software than traditional bio/pharma thanks to recent advances in Synthetic Biology. These six new synthetic biology companies are gearing up to launch their products that are largely made by designing the metabolic pathways of biological systems to make medically, commercially and industrially valuable substances. They include bullet-proof silk sequenced from hagfish, synthetic cannabinoids for medical purposes, civet-free high end coffee, cow milk brewed from yeast, desk-top DNA printers, and petunias that change color according to human design. I would like to invite you to attend the inaugural demo day this September 23 at Runway.is in San Francisco, CA ========Team Links========== http://muufri.com http://revolutionbio.co http://hyasynthbio.com http://benthiclabs.com http://afineur.com http://kilobaser.com ===========RSVP=========== 1500: Registration 1530: Keynote 1600: Company Pitches 1700: Cocktail & Reception http://sfsynbiodemo.eventbrite.com -- Ryan Bethencourt Tel: (415) 825 2705 Conf.

Gr33tz!

by Reverend Doctor Proxy

Hallo Internets, It's Proxy from HackMiami and I just landed in SF! If anyone would be cool enough to spare a couch for a few days it would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to be in SF for a couple weeks but only need a couch for a couple days. Either way, I'm new to Cali and would like to meet some like-minded folks. See ya on the flip-side. -- Cheers, Rev.

Re: [sudo-discuss] Proposal for temporary tenant in one basement office

I just want to say at this point that I'm entirely on Team Rent-Out-The-Ballroom, and very unenthusiastic about full-time leases for small room unless they will be curated by rad participatory omni collectives. So I really like this OMP proposal and I think the mandate to keep those rooms common/shared/schedulable is actually a huge plus. Time-based over space-based multiplexing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-division_multiplexing In fact, maybe we should just rename our building the Multiplex, or Mux for short. :)

sky light replacement

by brendan

sudo, dude is coming at 8 am tomorrow (monday morning, september 22) to install new glass in the skylights. The installer is prepared with tarps, etc., but would appreciate it if people at CCL would move their delicate / electronic / sensitive/ whatever equipment at least to under the tables they are currently on. they are planning to do the three big skylights directly over CCL and the area between sudo and CCL… Not sure who to contact about this directly, could use some input. brenda
