hi y'all, you may have seen me around the space this past week. It's a cool place! As there is a small snafu on the membership form, I'm declaring my intent to join here: I'm Corey (he/him) && I want to be a member because I value and want to support a space that is open, inclusive, and gives people the tools to make cool things! && I'm wanting to get into synthesizer design and other DIY electronics, I have a decent background in EE but just picked up my first synth at the awesome swap meet a few weeks back. Would also like to get involved with projects that deal with transparency, collaboration, or education && I earn my living writing javascripts and css, happy to pass on those skills to those willing to learn. Also hope to contribute to projects in need of front end development && I have not had troubles at other hackerspaces :-) ++ happy to answer questions in #sudoroom (nick: mu) or in person, thanks! — Corey | @stackptr

robot dead

by Jake

this afternoon apparently someone used the robot in sudoroom and while they were using it, one of the motor driver circuits burned out. tonight the other Jake and I worked on it to try to figure out where the smoke was coming out, and we couldn't figure it out but we are going to order a replacement part for another motor driver circuit that has a known bad part, and hopefully that will fix that one and we can swap it in. in the meantime the robot cannot be moved from its present position, sorry. if anyone knows what happened I would appreciate knowing more than just "someone broke the robot and didn't want to tell anyone" thank you -jake

Re: [sudo-discuss] [CCLmembers] New Project Nano-materials

by Leticia Menchaca

Hi, I am requesting your input on this idea since I have no experience working in a collective way. I want to build a Magnetron Sputtering Vacuum Deposition System to produce thin films, ultra thin films, and nanoparticles. I am interested in working at the interface of materials science and bioengineering. My particular interest is exploring nano-materials for enhanced raman spectra signaling - including bio-engineering for enhanced fluorescence-emf detection. However, other subjects also interest me, such as the toxic effects of micro and nano-materials and how these materials interact with organisms, cells and biological processes in general. Building a thin film deposition system is a challenge but can be extremely interesting. This kind of equipment is very costly and only some very lucky people have access to learning how they are built and how they operate. This is because the magnetron sputtering chambers are used in the private industry only by trained and skilled personnel. In universities and technical colleges, only experts and selected talented students get access to these machines while working on their thesis projects. In YouTube I have watched people building their own vacuum chambers, rather crude, o.k. for hobby but not likely to work for producing nano-materials with real-life applications (sorry for being so critical). I am contemplating working on building a system using your Collective model. However, I have never worked in an open group setting and I wonder if this would be a realistic expectation and if there would be any interest at all! Although I am not alone. There are five of us in my group, we are people with similar interests living and working in Berkeley with limited free time to work on our own projects, since we have day jobs at UCB. Only one of us has actually built such equipment before. The rest in our group only have used the equipment and/or has worked on experiments using nano-materials, mainly plants. I look forward to your input. Thanks, Leticia Menchaca

spot welder

by Cere Davis

Hey Sudoers, I’m lacking experience on spot welders and would like some feedback on how much power I would need to spot weld a steel clothes hanger (for example) to itself? Do you suppose this much power would work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2016-Pulse-Sparkle-Spot-Welder-Gold-Silver-Platinum… Looking for something that is set up to have a handpiece.

DLP Projector?

I'm looking for a DLP projector to try improving on making circuit boards with photolithography.
