Hey Folks, I’m sort of an LED nube and am looking for confirmation that this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5M-Roll-3528-60led-m-12VDC-IP65-soft-strip-… <https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5M-Roll-3528-60led-m-12VDC-IP65-soft-strip-…>item works they way I think it does. My only question, really, is whether I can just cut the strip at the designated locations and it will work fine with a 12v power supply without any need for extra resistors? It looks like the LEDs all sit in parallel along the strip so therefore…? Thanks, Cere -- *Cere Davis* Science-Art | Kinetic Sculpture CereDavis.com @ceremona <http://Twitter.com/Ceremona>

how to use sudoroom's laser cutter

by Jake

it took me a minute to find this link (thanks Patrik) reminding us how to use the sudoroom laser cutter, but here it is. Is there someone who is willing to meet with Zerena (cc'd in this email) who wants to use the laser cutter? actually i've been noticing a lot of interest in the laser cutter so it would be good to schedule a training. I'd go. https://web.archive.org/web/20160309002636/http://hack.rit.edu:80/tools/fsl/ thank you, -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2018 02:04:54 -0800 From: Patrik D'haeseleer <patrikd(a)gmail.com> There is actually a laser cutter in Sudo Room that we can use (and their 3D printer may or may not be fixed again as well). The old page at RIT that describes the laser cutter is no longer up, but here's the last version on archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20160309002636/http://hack.rit.edu:80/tools/fsl/ Patrik

vending machine mailing list?

by Jake

should we have a new mailinglist for people working on the vending machines? long ago we created one for "printing" which was to include 3D printing as well as paper printing, but it never got used. Do mailinglist take up a lot of space or weight or cost or anything? Any reason not to? Or perhaps vending machine discussion should just be in the regular sudo-discuss list and everybody gets to follow along or not as they will? -jake

Is there a welding hackerspace support for Revolution Books in Oakland?

by jacques revera

http://RevolutionBooks.org needs to make 50-100 a-frame sidewalk-sandwich-boards out of angle iron very similar to construction barriers https://mollybandme.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/summer-construction-016.jpg to mount posters promoting out weekly events Is there a hackerspace that does welding in Oakland? I either need to find a welder to donate labor or someone who can support me inexperienced doing it myself welding / cutting / drilling the pieces together - or do you know someone at The Crucibile who could support this? The photos show the first draft of our simple metal signs made out of angle iron and in the background, you can see the current version and size of our 4x1.5' posters. Rev Books is fighting American fascists and has come under attack 9 times this year by the alt-right. There are many other reasons to support this bookstore which is part of the center of building a movement for revolution in this country. Jacques

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-consensus] Not ZRW

by Jenny Ryan

agreed with laura 100%. given previous threats of physical violence to sudo room members (which i personally witnessed), non-consensus on there not being a signed agreement (which i also experienced the consenso of in-person) and lack of clarity on next steps & future accountability, i am blocking this proposal on behalf of sudo room until the aforementioned issues are addressed and actually consented-upon. cc'ing sudo-discuss.

sudoroom bigTV sound situation

by Jake

i brought in a little box to connect to the sudoroom big TV, it goes between the HDMI from the raspberry pi and the TV, and provides analog audio out. The amplifier for the TV built-in speakers is fried. So i want to use external speakers, so we can have the IRC voice work again, and whatever else. the raspberry pi's built-in analog audio output doesn't work even when i tried configuring it like the internet says. Maybe you have better luck, go ahead and try. Anyway, i don't know where the little box went. Do you? -jake
