thanks so much Romy for making this great wiki page! https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Cool_Projects we have a lot of pages that need updating, and here's an easy example: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Printing the first part is "2D Printing" also known as paper printers. but it hasn't been updated in a while! Amusingly, we do have a few 2D printers but the list is inaccurate. Who wants to fix it? I know that presently, we have a working laser printer (last seen on the table in front of the vending machine) and a working inkjet printer/scanner combo (next to the laser cutter). Instructions on how to connect to them would be great! if you don't have a wiki login, please request one and it will be approved! -jake

Vending machine feedback

by Thomas Levine

The vending machine now provides some more feedback after money is put in. Source code associated with my contribution is here. I haven't documented the other components of the vending machine. https://thomaslevine.com/scm/sudo-vending Based on the implementation details, it appears to me that the bill acceptor is in fact plugged into one board (Arduino Leonardo) that is connected by serial to another board (Raspberry Pi). Why is the former board used at all? That is, why is the bill acceptor not plugged directly into the latter board?

Updating the sudoRoom website, pointing to the wiki for cool new projects

by romy＠snowyla.com

I'm updating the sudoRoom website. For the projects link in the header it's now pointed to the wiki for the cool projects (new placeholder for the fixit clinic, etc) https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Cool_Projects I'm also adding what meetings we do have in there... I guess folks should know even an hour before or how meetings transpired int he past! Also will be sprucing up the blog with photos that Andrew took this year. thanks Andrew sorry I neglected it

delegates meeting

by Jake

Tonight we have a delegates' meeting. I didn't make it to the last one and I didn't do a good job of relaying the discussions (seen in the following meeting notes) to this list so that people could weigh in on them: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Event:2022/12/15_Delegates Tonight in the meeting the elephant in the room was a sudden proposal to open the ballroom (and basement to some extent) to use as an "emergency shelter" as written here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13JXhQ5Oefuf5DXvSd_sZZI6QbeKcrsmjOOtV5MW… that proposal is for opening parts of the omni tomorrow until wednesday as an emergency shelter. We talked about it at length, and personally i am hopeful that everything will go smoothly. Advertisements for Omni as a shelter have somehow already appeared on instagram and twitter and even been retweeted/advertised by the city of oakland on a list of storm shelters. When it came time for the delegates to vote, I abstained or "stand aside" on behalf of Sudoroom since I didn't get a chance to get input from our membership on this proposal. It passed though, there were enough yes votes. If anyone wants to help support ah shit this email isn't even going out until the last day of the scheduled shelter event. They are now talking about extending it another day. As your delegate i should really be more on-top of things and not postpone emails in the middle until they're too old to send. -jake
