by Captain Chesapeake

Hi all, I notice a giant accumulation of “stuff” on the soldering workbench closest to main area past week. Now there is only a tiny corner to work at. It would be nice if we could keep that area open. Suggestions for clearing this area and finding a home for this? The Cap’n

3D printer computer

by Jake

thanks Robb for installing fresh linux onto the 3D printer computer! lots of people helped to get our giant snarl of white filament onto a nice spool, which is situated over the printer, and it extrudes cleanly now. I also checked that the bed is level, and it is. So i'm guessing it would print OK. But I ran out of steam setting up slic3r. so if anyone wants to work on that, go ahead. The hardware should be ready to go. -jake

omni wifi going up and down constantly

by Jake

my wifi connection to Omni Commons wifi keeps going up and down every few minutes, and it's annoying. i thought it was just me and my crappy laptop. when it first started happening, it was right when sudoroom (and the whole omni) got a new router computer. we kept the old one around because it's still running things, and it's the computer where people can run whatever projects around sudoroom (like the Laser Printer access page at http://100.64.64.88 ) without worrying about messing up the router. today I forgot my laptop power adaptor so i've been using a random laptop booted off of a USB stick, and it's doing the exact same thing! do we have a rogue DHCP server or something? I have heard other people complain that the same thing is happening to them too. -jake

Omni Calendar html issue

by grant＠peoplesopen.net

Hey sudo, I noticed that html is broken for some of our events on the Omni Commons calendar. I fixed/updated the SudoMesh meeting event, but Hardware Hack Night and the Weekly Party still have some exposed html tags. Someone who is active in those events should update them or try debugging the root cause. I found it easier to just remove the html. Here's links to the problem events, https://omnicommons.org/calendar/events/hardware-hack-night-3-2018-02-20/ (https://omnicommons.org/calendar/events/hardware-hack-night-3-2018-02-20/) https://omnicommons.org/calendar/events/sudo-room-weekly-party-2018-02-21/ (https://omnicommons.org/calendar/events/sudo-room-weekly-party-2018-02-21/) Peace, - grant Sent via Migadu.com, world's easiest email hosting

Commemorating the Life of Rick Simon

by Carl Gorringe

Dear Sudoers, Rick Simon ("Ricardo"), beloved by many, passed away on November 29, 2017. He was 48, born 1/23/1969 - originally from Miami, Florida. Rick lived in San Francisco and Oakland over the past decade. He was much involved in the community, including co-founding the Bay Area Community Exchange (BACE) Timebank, a bartering exchange system to help the local economy during the recession. He also participated in the Occupy Movement in SF and Oakland. We, the members of the BACE Timebank, would like to commemorate his life, bring people together to talk about many of all the things Rick was involved in and cared about, and to do a volunteer drive in order to rescue some of his efforts. Rick impacted a lot people’s lives, and we’ve been moved by hearing of his passing. This event will be an opportunity to benefit from his energy, by bringing to life some of the efforts that he is no longer able to put energy into. Date/Time: Please join us this Saturday, February 10th, 3:00 pm Location: Omni Commons, Entrance Hall 4799 Shattuck Ave, Oakland, CA https://omnicommons.org (1/2 mile walk from MacArthur BART) We could use help organizing this event. Please contact us if you'd like to volunteer. Please send us your photos of Rick, links to videos, your stories and comments that we may read at the memorial. Email: support(a)bace.org Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1971034819816277/ Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Community-Exchange-Timebank/events/24760529… Thanks, Carl & AZ, BACE Timebank

LED nube

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

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).

vending machine mailing list?

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

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

Opentrons using Sudoroom Laser Cutter

by Jake

hi Julian, the sudoroom laser cutter is totally available for you to use. I'm CC'ing this email to the sudoroom-discuss email list to find someone who can show you how to use it, unless you're confident that you don't need to be shown anything. when you use it, please make sure the ventilation fan near it is running, and check the duct connections because they have been falling off recently, which results in the room being filled with laser fumes despite the fan running. thank you -jake On Mon, 5 Feb 2018, J I wrote: > Hey guys, > > Quick question: the Opentrons robot team at CCL is looking for some time > on Sudoroom's laser cutter so we can cut some acrylic as spacers for some > of our electronics.

place to document my project

by Captain Chesapeake

Hi all, I'm working on a long-term project to build a, say, 8 x 20 matrix display. Each "pixel" hopefully maybe 2"x2" big. Hopefully one day to mount on the wall in sudoroom and allow people to throw up text and Atari characters etc. This is related to noisebridge display, but with a different aesthetic. Is there a spot on the sudoroom website where I could document my progress on this project, blog style? Otherwise I guess I would use traditional blogging platform. Thanks, The Cap'n

Announcing "Build Your Own Internet" Office Hours

by grant＠peoplesopen.net

Hey sudoers, [cross-posting from mesh list] Have you been dying to help build the People's Open Network, but aren't sure where to start. Maybe you've heard about our mysterious node mounts, but don't have a smartphone or aren't part of some __super secretive chat group__. Or perhaps you'd just like help selecting a local ISP for your new apartment. Fear not, we're here to help. Starting this Sunday, Feb. 4th, SudoMesh be holding regular "office hours" on Sunday afternoons in SudoRoom. Running loosely from 1pm until late afternoon or early evening, this time serves dual purpose: 1. A jumping off point for people interested helping with a scheduled Sunday node mount, but who are not able to attend a Tuesday night meeting or are not "in the know." 2. A friendly, non-confrontational time for new people to get oriented to the project or just ask general questions about networking, the internet, and their service provider. Finally, when either of these purposes are not present (i.e. no node mount, no new people), we will use the time to hold training sessions on a topic of choice, conduct outreach to potential node locations, address finances and purchasing, or tackle any other outstanding issues. For this Sunday, we do not have a scheduled node mount yet and do not expect new people (since this just now being announced). Instead, we will be doing basic training on how lead or participate in a node mount. We will also be contacting and scheduling our existing list of node requests. If you'd like to help out, stop by SudoRoom on Sunday, Feb. 4th, around 1pm. Thanks and hope to see y'all on Sundays, -grant Sent via Migadu.com, world's easiest email hosting

the rightmost vending machine now has a working dollar bill acceptor, and it's powered up. it's connected to an arduino which connects to a raspberry pi which is on the network at vending2.local on that raspberry pi there is a serial port called /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Arduino_LLC_Arduino_Leonardo-if00 which speaks serial at 115200 baud, saying stuff like 100 bill_acceptor 2000 bill_acceptor 500 bill_acceptor when it gets a $1 bill, a $20, and a $5 respectively. Later it will say coin_acceptor when coins are inserted, but presently they just fall into a cardboard box inside the vending machine. Charley has acquired a new lock for the vending machine and we should replace the money box in the fridge with a sign saying people should put their money into the vending machine, and signs in the vending machine explaining that. The raspberry pi in the vending machine has speakers attached to it (which will be moved to underneath the machine or on top of it) and someone should make a webpage on it that shows the time and amount of money inserted, and also make it say things when people put money in so that everybody knows. if anyone wants access to the raspberry pi please let me know. Make it do things. Make it have a video output that we can put on top of the vending machine that displays interesting information and QR codes for receiving bitcoin cash and ethereum and other stuff donations. Make it make interesting noises to reward people for donating. tonight will be a fine night for hacking on the machine, but you'll need to contact me or Charley for physical access to the inside of the machine for now. -jake

Linux dual boot on Basement Computer bank?

by Ed Biow

A few months ago about a dozen Core 2 Duo Lenovo boxes with 4 GB of RAM materialized in the basement hall way. They were all left running with the monitors on, but they had Windohs on them and the lock screens required a password which was nowhere in evidence, and rebooting also required a PW to log in. Anywho, since they just seemed to be heating the basement, and it was summertime anyway I shut them all off, and did so a couple of weeks later when I noticed they were powered back on again. Since then they have mostly been off, and some folks know the password and have been using them periodically. Someone blew Linux Mint on one of the boxen. The one on the far left (facing the wall) was unplugged, I plugged it back in but it was beeping whenever it booted, but just required that I open the case and clamp down the memory sticks, All Praise Cyber Jesus. Since I had revived box from the dead like Lazarus I felt like no one would object if I made it dual boot Linux as well as Windows 10. The machines are mostly empty and have 300-500 GB hard drives, so I hacked off 60 GB and copied a Debian 9 installation off of a flash drive, fixed the fstab, installed grub, and set the machine to boot Windoze by default. The USB wifi sticks are the only way for these things to get internet since there is no ethernet cable in that hallway, but I managed to get one working with Debian and it seems stable. So unless someone objects I propose to set the rest of the machines to boot automatically into Windows (and not require a PW when the screen blanks) and also, I'd whack off a small chunk of their hard drives so all the boxes dual boot Windows and Debian stable (except possibly the Mint box, it may have been installed to stomp on the whole drive). It will give me something to do and keep me out of the sun. This will not adversely effect the Windows installations, which will still be available to do whatever folks do in that OS. Attached is a picture of the machine I mucked with, folks can go down there and play around with it. As those of you are wise in the ways of dual booting know, you can select Linux by using the "up arrow" key on the keyboard to scroll to the Debian 9 "grub" entry and hit the Enter key. It will automatically boot to a non-privileged "omni" account (PW: omnivore) and it will hang for a few seconds at the lightdm display manager to give you a chance to change the Linux desktop to taste (I configured it for mate, xfce, cinnamon & KDE, and could add other options if desired). You can also switch users to a "sudoroom" user, that has sudo privileges, the PW is the same as the username, except in drop case. In a world without Gates who needs Windows?

Fwd: [dorkbotsf-blabber] A123 Battery Teardowns

by Patrik D'haeseleer

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "John Radio" <johnyradio(a)gmail.com> Date: Jan 27, 2018 2:34 PM Subject: [dorkbotsf-blabber] A123 Battery Teardowns To: <dorkbotsf-blabber(a)googlegroups.com> Cc: Hi all Remember those A123 batteries I posted about, a couple weeks back? I’ve found people to hold all our batteries. Wow! Thx to everyone who is helping the Bayview BOOM. Some came from as far away as Chico, to cart away these packs. We’ve started to tear down the packs, and would be great to hear *your suggestions on making the process easier and cheaper.* Please check out the videos: https://vimeo.com/252296535 password: M1A https://youtu.be/MMrPjUwAmT0 Here’s one possible improvement: *Problem - Removing plastic cover: *We had difficulty removing the plastic cover. It’s time-consuming, very fiddly/wiggly, and lots of touching on or near hot contacts. *Issue*: the plastic “prongs” on the plastic cover must have been inserted all at once, in a single downward motion, as described by Bob at the BoxShop teardown. *Solution: *Therefore, maybe the quickest removal is to somehow *pull the entire cover straight up, in one motion,* after removing screws, punching out the tabs, and releasing the nickel and insulator sheet from their retainer. How to do that? Part of the difficulty is that the cover flexes. If you pull it up by one end, it bends. *Ideas:* · *Top-plate: *Attach a rigid, non-conductive plate or wooden board to the loose cover. Pull that straight up. The weight of the pack will help. Problem: how to pull it straight up? Maybe attach a couple handles? · *Bottom-clamp: *Invert the whole pack and lay it upside down, with the unscrewed cover face down on the table. Then, somehow clamp just the loose plastic cover to the table. Then pull the rest of the pack straight up. Problem: it’s heavy. Seems this approach has a possible added advantage that it might reduce the amount of touching hot contacts by the human, thereby making this a possibly safer approach. -Johny Radio -- PEOPLE DOING STRANGE THINGS WITH ELECTRICITY --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "dorkbotSF-blabber" group.

Proposal: Co-Invest in 15' Step Ladder

by Jenny Ryan

Greetings Omninoms/sudoers/CCL'ers/meshers, Last week, Omni's tall A-frame ladder disappeared from the entrance hall (if anyone noticed someone exiting the building with a ~13' wooden ladder, lmk). Robb and I did a bit of research, and ladders that tall are hard to come by and fairly expensive. This 15' A-frame Little Giant seems to be the best bet: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00064C4SQ/ Our scaffolding is bulky, takes time to set up, and doesn't reach the ceilings in the ballroom, entrance hall nor sudo/ccl. A bucket lift is ~10x more expensive, and wouldn't be able to access some parts of the building we'd use it in. With a ladder this size, we could use it for working on the ceilings everywhere - and mesh could use it for our Sunday node mounts. The cost is $674.80, so I'm proposing the following financial split: * Omni - $330 * Sudo - $115 * CCL - $115 * Sudo Mesh - $115 Ideas on how best to securely store it? Please let me know asap if there are any blocking concerns or better ideas. I'll bring it up at the next sudoroom and mesh meetings and hopefully someone can bring it up at CCL's. <3 Jenny Help open a professional kitchen at the Omni Commons in Oakland! https://omnicommons.org/kitchen `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

SUDO book scanner lighting parts and files

by jacques revera

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jonathon Duerig <duerig(a)tenrec.builders> Date: Wed, Jan 24, 2018 at 9:01 AM Subject: Re: Oakland SUDO room purchase quoted lighting parts To: jacques revera <jacquesrevera(a)gmail.com> Sorry for not responding sooner, I'll get you the files in DXF format today. I've attached them in DWG format to this email (since that is what I had available without conversion). ... Some notes about the design of the light box: You will need two of each item I sent design files for. The scale of these files is 1 unit = 1 mm. If you want to modify the design to better suit your scanner, you will need to reduce the distance between the lighting module front and lighting module back. This affects the lighting module sides, the large baffles, and the LED base plate. The lighting module sides should be exactly the same, but reduced in width by whatever is necessary to make it sit on the top of your scanner. Similarly, the size of the large baffle needs to be reduced by the same amount along its longest dimension. The LED base plate is made from FR4. I included it in the shipment to you. The reason it is FR4 is that it is meant to hold the lights which means that any heat generated from the lights needs to be accounted for. Something that is flammable or something that might distort and change shape when it gets warm are bad choices. FR4 is great because it is both flame and heat resistant. The plate I sent will be too long. You could deal with this in two ways. One way would be to remove the slots on top of the front/back plates and have it just rest with a bit of overhang. Another way would be to modify the plate so that it fits. You can cut FR4 with a saw (be careful because it is brittle). You can also drill FR4. So you could cut it in half, then drill a couple of holes to bolt it back together as a shorter length. If you do this, be very careful of the dust generated. FR4 is fiberglass-reinforced. And fiberglass dust is dangerous. Or if you have access to a waterjet, you could buy a piece of FR4 pretty cheaply and use the waterjet to cut out a modified piece. If you want to do this, let me know and I can send you the design file for it. You can't cut FR4 with a laser AFAIK (heat resistant, flame resistant). And it would be a bad idea to use a CNC router to cut it out (fiberglass dust is very bad for you). This is why we pay a shop to cut out the LED base plates in batches with a waterjet. But it is much more expensive to cut a one-off piece of a different design. Or if you don't want to modify the design of the lighting module, the alternative is to add on to the scanner some pieces that would allow you to rest the unmodified lighting module on top. I'm not sure how much bigger the lighting module is. But it could be a 2x4 on each side would provide enough extra width for example. I haven't had much experience with the older hackerspace scanners, so I don't know for sure. --- Jonathon Duerig Tenrec Builders LLC On Mon, Jan 22, 2018, at 1:05 PM, jacques revera wrote: DXF is probably what we need.

I'll provide you with DXF or SVG files. The plates could be cut out of hardboard on a laser cutter (I am pretty sure they had a laser cutter at Noisebridge when I visited there) and then you spray paint them black. And you could cut them out as-is, or tweak the design to better fit your scanner before cutting them out. I'd be happy to give you advice as far as that is concerned. What I would send you includes all the electrical stuff, fixtures, LED lights, hardware, AC adapter, the LED base plate made from FR-4, lenses, etc. So you would get everything but the plates themselves. The price would be $150 and shipping cost to California is included in that price.

I can record and upload video of "Build Your Own Internet Workshop & Panel"

by jacques revera

This event at the Omni saturday night is important. I can record and upload video of "Build Your Own Internet Workshop & Panel" to your channel, social media or my channel. I am a semi-professional videographer and I get good audio (which is the most important thing at panel and discussion events) - especially if your sound is good and I take an audio feed from your board. You can see some of my more recent event and protest videos here: my channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt7o6FVBWMi5Qtqk39t4AFA/videos my videos on the Revolution Books channel https://www.youtube.com/user/revbooks Jacques

Fwd: Biology/Microscope/Programming/Art/Education Hack-A-Thon

by Cere Davis

Hey Folks. See thread below. We have a cool proposal to do a fun cross-disciplinary activity in trying to build DIY microscopes with CCL and Sudo from a talented maker guy from San Jose. Would Sudo be willing to collaborate on this? I, as a sudo member, certainly would. -Cere ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Patrik D'haeseleer <patrikd(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Jan 22, 2018 at 5:56 PM Subject: Re: Biology/Microscope/Programming/Art/Education Hack-A-Thon To: Thomas Zimmerman <tzim(a)us.ibm.com> Cc: info(a)counterculturelabs.org, info(a)sudoroom.org, CCL board < cultlabsboard(a)googlegroups.com> Hi Tom - sounds like a great idea! We do need to cap it at 50 and get Sudo involved as well, since that is our max occupancy for the space that we share with them. I'm not sure info@sudoroom is the best email to contact them though - any Sudo members following this conversation?

We want to attract the same kind of mix of people that go to Sudo and Counter Culture Labs; scientists, tinkerers, DIYs, programmers, biotech professionals, hackers, artists, teachers, educators, and citizen scientists. We will provide about 15 microscopes, 3 different kinds (5 of each); a $20 USB optical with zoom and a wooden adjustable stand, a $10 laser projection microscope and a $50 novel lensless stereo microscope based on the Raspberry Pi (a microscope with it's own OS that runs Python and OpenCV!!!) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzNjJ8_zT-A and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm750WtlFN0), parts to build and modify these microscopes, some example Python image processing code, links to free imaging tools (e.g. Fiji ImageJ https://fiji.sc/), some hacking materials (cardboard, hot glue, wood), slimy pond water (full of all kinds of tiny fascinating creatures), and samples of plankton from https://www.carolina.com/ Participants are encouraged to bring their own slimy water and microscopic creatures (no pathogens please, my motto is "if you can't drink it, don't bring it" ;). The general goal is for participants to team up and produce something (physical device, code, art work, movie, sound/music, slide show, etc) to help make biology accessible to people using microscopes, code media (art, music, sound, video, image, internet, multimedia), or whatever participants can think of. We are especially interested in plankton; to raise awareness of the complexity, beauty, variety and vital role they play in our well being (they provide 2/3 of our oxygen, are the largest sequester of carbon from the atmosphere, and the baby food for practically every species of fish. However, these are suggestions, as hackers will probably have their own view of what they want to do, which is the point of holding a Hack-a-Thon, to encourage creativity and experimentation!

DXF or SVG or? for scanner light fixture mount cutting for book scanner

by jacques revera

I just purchased two refurbished 20 megapixel Canon PowerShot ELPH 160 and the archivist lighting assembly which includes LED bulbs, sockets, lenses, wiring and power adapter. Jonathon will send us the design files for the sockets mounting plate soon as I tell him what format we need to cut it at the SUDO room: DXF or SVG or something else? ~ http://diybookscanner.org/archivist/index6ea9.html?page_id=267 This is the page describing the plate. It would be convenient if the SUDO room has some FR4 but as long as the material is opaque, heat proof and can be painted black, should be no problem. This plate will sit at the top center of the scanner. The plate also serves to block light from entering from the top direction. Since, we need to attach something to raise the lights higher than the original hackerspace design, we should not cut this out yet. It does not need to be the same shape as the archivist plate as long as the socket mounting holes are the same. Jonathon wrote last week: ."..you can move the lights further away from the platen. Because of various design constraints, Daniel put the lights closer to the platen than is ideal on that model. For later models (like Daniel's Archivist design), the lights were been moved further away to reduce glare and hot spots. You want to reproduce this in some way. So just build a simple frame you can set on top of the scanner to lift the lights. There is a mathematical way to find the minimum distance, but it might be easiest just to do it empirically, pulling the lights away and taking sample photos until you see that there is no reflected light source." You can see how this the lights are put together on the archivist about halfway down this page http://diybookscanner.org/archivist/index9bef.html?page_id=54 Jacques
