Missing microscope lenses

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, If you have borrowed any of the microscope objectives or eyepiece lenses from CCL, please return them as soon as possible. If you see any microscopes sitting out, that is likely because they are in use on a regular basis, and they will be sorely missed if not in working order! Please don't remove parts from lab equipment without checking with someone first. So, please return our lenses - no questions asked. We have a pretty good idea exactly when they disappeared, but we'd rather not have to do the detective work to figure out who was where when. Let alone having to install cameras or lock up all of our lab gear, which defeats the purpose of having a community lab. Thanks! Patrik

anyone wanna buy some bitcoins?

by Marc Juul

It turns out that sudo room suddenly has $8,600 in bitcoin! How did this happen? I don't know! I think we should immediately sell at least enough to pay our debt to Omni. Any sudo members who think we shouldn't just sell every single bitcoin right now while the price is high? -- marc/juul

Across the street from OSH Hardware and Berkeley Bowl West, and on the same block as Discount Fabrics, The Shipyard and Urban Ore, as well as easy street parking and access from I-80. Safe industrial west Berkeley neighborhood right on the border with Emeryville and Oakland. Ideal uses are art, electronics, office, etc. No heavy fabrication please, but light is ok. We want to avoid anything creating lots of noise or fumes. Optional access to large open 2-story area for occasional projects with loading dock. We have blazing-fast gigabit internet with symmetrical pipes, so can be a good choice for big data, such as video production. 24 hour access permitted, but must respect nighttime quiet. Living in either space definitely not permitted. First space is semi-open 21' x 13' with 2-story ceiling and large amount of natural light. Has existing workbench and plenty of power (240v/120v). $390 / month including utilities (reasonable electrical use, internet, trash). (Surfboards not included!) Second space is 18' x 15' in a very private location on the second floor. Has openable window overlooking Ashby.

solenoid wanted for sudoroom circuitboard CNC machine

by Jake

quick circuit 5000 is almost working

by Jake

after you guys left i got both X and Y axes working properly, in the correct direction, and the endstops too! now i was even able to home it! here's the repo: https://github.com/sudoroom/Marlin/tree/quickcircuit marlin can be uploaded with regular arduino, it's an arduino mega 2560 we still need to enter the correct values for stuff like DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE DEFAULT_MAX_ACCELERATION although really only the first one is necessary. then we need to either find a solenoid or use this servo to do the Z axis, and configure marlin to control it appropriately from a Z command or whatever Z instruction gets produced by stuff like PCB2GCODE -jake

Fwd: Join us for Microscopy 101 & 401 class at CCL Sat morning!

by Patrik D'haeseleer

*Join us for our Microscopy meetup tomorrow morning at CCL <https://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/events/241864024/>! *We'll have something for newbies and experts alike... We'll give a tour of the microscopes we have available at CCL, show you which one to use for which purpose, how how to use them, and which ones to prioritize for repair. Feel free to bring in your own scope if you have one, and we'll be happy to teach you how to use it (and/or diagnose what's wrong with it...) For the microscopy experts, we'll also go over the fancy super-resolution STED microscope we've just been donated by BioCuriuous! This kind of equipment would normally start in the $200K range. A dedicated team at BioCurious spent more than a year building this one from scratch <https://sites.google.com/site/biocuriousmicroscopewiki/>, starting from the microscope engine out of a donated GA IIx DNA sequencer - a piece of machinery that probably cost well over $500K itself when it was new just a few years ago. A truly unique piece of equipment. STED microscopy <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STED_microscopy> is one of the techniques used to break the diffraction limit in optical microscopy, allowing visualization of subcellular structures that were previously only accessible using electron microscopy! We are looking to build an expert user group around this new instrument, so come join us and help us get it up and running to do some awesome science with it! Patrik

bicycles and parts gathering in sudoroom

by Jake

there is a bicycle frame without wheels, a fender, and five wheels and three tires floating around sudoroom, as well as two bicycles that do not belong to anyone who is here right now. I don't think people should be using sudoroom as a place to store their vehicles, and large projects like bicycles should not be stored here except for very limited situations like a project that takes more than one day. People have been working very hard on cleaning up the space and the electronics waste pile is huge. It will be cleared out soon and I hope we can deal with the bicycles too, and then we can start looking at other large items like the embroidery machine and juki sewing machine table, and get those out of here. If anyone knows whose bicycle frame and wheels these are, or whose whole bicycles these are being stored here, please ask them to take them somewhere else when they're not visiting sudoroom. what do people think of that? -jake

Event this Saturday: 4Love, Science and Liberation

by Julio Rios

Hey Commoners, I'll be helping out with this event Saturday morning 10am-1pm. stop by the ballroom if it sounds interesting to you. How can science be used as a tool for liberation? Scientists and community organizer, Kendra Krueger, guides us through a process of reclaiming science as a tool for personal and social liberation. We’ll take a look at decolonizing the language of our current scientific paradigm and exploring the intersections of science, social justice, art and intuitive technologies. Using movement, games and physics we’ll reintegrate the analytical and intuitive mind and discover new methods to liberate our mind, body and spirit through knowledge, knowing and finding out.

Re: [sudo-discuss] #5MoF?

by Jenny Ryan

Great idea, Charley! Sudo Mesh has been doing quarterly workshops and it's been really effective. Gives us time to plan a schedule and promote widely, and lotsa members show up and help with various facets of the event because we divvy up the work and people commit to specific roles (eg; A/V, chairs setup, welcome table, presentations, intro, food, promo/flyering, stickers/swag). I think 5moF facilitation has been hard because it seems like all the organizing work is pretty much on one begrudging volunteer each month. If we do switch to quarterly, might be wise to stagger them on different weeks than the mesh workshops, so that more sudoers who work on mesh can also help with 5mof. Next mesh workshop is September 23rd... so early Sep could work well. ^_^ On Jul 24, 2017 12:16 PM, "Charley Sheets" <rcsheets(a)acm.org> wrote: > On Mon, 24 Jul 2017 09:04:59 -0700 > robb <sf99er(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Mon, Jul 24, 2017 at 6:29 AM, Marc Juul <juul(a)labitat.dk> wrote: > > > > > don't have time > > > > > > +1 > > maybe try again in sept. > > Should we space 5MoF out more?

Fwd [Mesh] Tuesday hacknight tomorrow in SF instead

by aaronco36＠sdf.org

Unsure if the Mailman again crashed, thus causing emails from the past week (including this one) to be sent later. But anyyyywaaaay, here goes.... Quoting Marc Juul <juul at labitat.dk>: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ They Mozilla/NSF WINS event is scheduled tomorrow on top of our normal meeting. More info on the challenge that this event is about here: https://wirelesschallenge.mozilla.org/ There will be a 40 minute panel which will include myself, and I believe Thu Nguyen (the founder of Flowzo), Ahsan Baig (Deputy CIO, City of Oakland) and Kalimah Priforce (CEO, Qeyno Labs). *When and where:* July 25, 6:30 - 8:30pm PT Mozilla Community Space, 2 Harrison St, San Francisco, CA 94105 *RSVP for the event here <https://goo.gl/forms/piPSVK40Y50yJXer1>* -- marc/juul ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yes, that happened as planned. Robb and others of us at HHN watched and/or heard the live streaming of the Mozilla/NSF WINS event. You all can download and view the stream by visiting https://air.mozilla.org/nsf-wins-bay-area-meet-up/ , choosing the 'Download' tab, and then saving the download from one of the links in that tab as WebM (HD) or Mpeg4 (HD) -- -- I suggest renaming the download to something much more intelligible than the default webm.webm, hd_webm.webm, mp4.mp4 or hd_mp4.mp4. Mark 1st appears at 23 minutes ~49 seconds into the vid, taking his seat and carrying his bottled beverage, and he starts speaking at 24 minutes ~28 seconds. -A

surface mount electronics donation

by Jake

personally i think we should accept those parts, but we've been getting rid of a lot of unnecessary stuff from sudoroom recently (well mostly not me doing it) so anything that we get from them that doesn't belong in sudoroom will get recycled if nobody else wants it. I will say that the last stuff we got from them seems to be pretty decently useful, most of it, so that's a good sign. I don't think we want the carousels though, they seem like the kind of thing you use in a factory where you have plenty of space and need random access fast, whereas we are only going to survive in sudoroom if we can store stuff densely and compensate by keeping good records of where stuff is parked. -jake On Wed, 26 Jul 2017, Patrik D'haeseleer wrote: > By the way - I may be able to get a bunch more surface mount components, > from the same lab from which I brought over several boxes full of spools > before.

Re: [sudo-discuss] Monthly sudo meeting tonight at 7 pm!

by aaronco36＠sdf.org

Pls de-confuse me (and perhaps a very few others?) According to sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/2017-July/013439.html , the 'Monthly sudo meeting tonight at 7 pm!' was dated last week for Wed Jul 12 2017 and is just now reaching my Inbox. Was there a delay in getting out last week's notice (as I think likely), or is/was the notice for _tonight_?? Adding to the confusion is that _today's_ posting sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/2017-July/013445.html is for someone trying to come by during 2nd shift -- was 1st shift _last_ Wed? was 1st at last night's HHN? or is 1st as later on _tonight_ O.o?

Let's organize sudo room!

by Marc Juul

Last wednesday, inspired by the organizing Adam, Jenny and Robb have been doing at sudo, some of us went and got a bunch of transparent plastic bins in various sizes and cleared out one of the big shelving units. Let's continue the effort tonight! We can ask the hardware hackers for opinions on how to sort various things, since it's also hardware hack night! -- marc/juul

call for motors

by Morgan Allen

Hey all! So random thing happened on Wed. We decided to enter tomorrows DNA Lounge Robot Bartender Challenge. Things are going surprisingly well. One thing that isn't going so well is the speed of making a drink. So hoping someone might have 4 match(ish) brushed DC motors with ~2mm shaft. HALP!
