yesterday sudoroom was offered an ex-uhaul box truck for donation. we would be giving a donation receipt to someone else (the owner) & give the person/group making the offer to us a shared use agreement. it might be in need of minor repair but otherwise drives. the offerer claims to have somewhere to park it in case we don't want to deal with it & wants shared access as part of the deal. the offerer's group's 501c3 fell through & need to provide a donation receipt to the actual donor. i feel it would be an asset to the omni community as would a storage space for omni tables/chairs/etc

Fwd: Tenants Together Counselor Training! May 31st and June 1st!

by Vicky Knox

I thought some of you might be interested. ^_^ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tenants Together <sara(a)tenantstogether.org> Date: Wed, Apr 27, 2016 at 4:25 PM Subject: Tenants Together Counselor Training! May 31st and June 1st! To: vknoxsironi(a)gmail.com <http://click.actionnetwork.org/mpss/c/1AA/ni0YAA/t.1wp/qQj7uhOPR-60RayRemsv…> *Statewide Tenants’ Rights Counselor Training* Want to join the movement for housing justice? Join our crew of volunteers as a hotline counselor, and get trained on tenant’s rights! Next training: May 31st and June 1st from 5:30-8:00 pm *(both days required). * *To sign up, we ask that you fill out our application here <http://click.actionnetwork.org/mpss/c/1AA/ni0YAA/t.1wp/qQj7uhOPR-60RayRemsv…> and send it to sara(a)tenantstogether.org <sara@tenantstogether.org?link_id=2&can_id=597df1bf19d7e462f50c908645946e5a&source=email-tenants-together-counselor-training-may-31st-and-june-1st&email_referrer=tenants-together-counselor-training-may-31st-and-june-1st&email_subject=tenants-together-counselor-training-may-31st-and-june-1st> * *[image description: on the left three adults and a young boy stand staring at the camera and hold up a long banner that reads “join the fight for renters rights”. They are marching in protest. On the right of the image is a block of white text against a black background that reads “Join the fight for housing justice! Tenant’s rights counselor training May 31st and June 1st 5:30-8:00 pm 2016”]* Tenants Together, California's Statewide Organization for Renters' Rights (based in San Francisco), seeks volunteers to become tenants’ rights counselors. Tenants Together volunteers have worked alongside over ten thousand California renters as they learn and fight for their rights. Counselors help tenants fight against evictions, rent increases, uninhabitable living conditions and the wholesale displacement of their communities. *Counselors are key in the fight against gentrification and displacement. *As a Tenant Hotline Counselor you will play a key role in empowering tenants to assert their rights and protect their homes and families. Recently counselors have been educating tenants in cities like Alameda, Hayward, Richmond and Concord that are being massively affected by the affordable housing crisis in SF and the Bay Area to make sure tenants don’t pack up and leave when they get a rent increase. As we have seen in SF and Oakland, the appalling impacts of displacement always more intensely affect people of color, low income communities, disabled and elderly folks, and immigrant communities. Counselors have the opportunity to work directly with those who are most affected by the housing crisis, not only to bring them vital information, but to catalyze them to organize, and to support them in this struggle for their rights. *The next scheduled training, over two days, is: * *Monday, May 24th 5:30-8pm * *Tuesday, May 25th 5:30-8pm * BOTH DAYS are required to complete the counseling training. You will learn invaluable skills to help your community and become part of a team fighting for housing justice. Volunteers are expected to commit to at least 3 hours per week at the Tenants Together office located at 474 Valencia St, San Francisco. The Hotline operates Monday through Friday, 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., and Thursdays 6:00-8:00 pm (we can also consider alternative time slots/duration during the week, please contact Sara to discuss) We aim to help build an anti-racist, feminist, multiracial, anti-oppressive tenant movement. This means we do not tolerate racism, homophobia, ableism, transphobia, islamophobia, classism, cis-sexism, or sexism. We also hope to continue working to make this event, and our office, as accessible as possible to everyone who is interested in being part of the fight for housing justice. *Accessibility:* The building/ office is wheelchair accessible and is 2 city blocks from 16th and Mission BART . We will be taking regular breaks throughout the training. We have a gender inclusive bathroom. Unfortunately we are not currently a scent-free working space. If you have any accessibility concerns, requests or comments please email sara(a)tenantstogether.org *Again*, *To sign up, we ask that you fill out our application here <http://click.actionnetwork.org/mpss/c/1AA/ni0YAA/t.1wp/qQj7uhOPR-60RayRemsv…> and send it to sara(a)tenantstogether.org <sara@tenantstogether.org?link_id=4&can_id=597df1bf19d7e462f50c908645946e5a&source=email-tenants-together-counselor-training-may-31st-and-june-1st&email_referrer=tenants-together-counselor-training-may-31st-and-june-1st&email_subject=tenants-together-counselor-training-may-31st-and-june-1st> by May 15th.

Tomorrow: Javascript - The hard parts

by Lesley Bell

Hello fellow-JS-ers, Tomorrow night (Thursday 4/28) at Javascript night, I'm planning to work through this <http://www.meetup.com/Build-With-Code-San-Francisco/events/230640534/> lecture/program on some aspects of the language I haven't yet gone deeply into. Hopefully enough interested people show up to do the pair programing part of the agenda :) >From the event page: - Learn and build with the hard parts of JavaScript through intuitive lectures and pair-programming - This week for Javascript - The Hard Parts we cover Callbacks and Higher Order Functions. This includes how to handle or recreate the functions: - map • reduce • forEach This is a concept that 80% of JavaScript engineers do not understand but are at the core of every single successful application. - This is possible because we'll understand the essence of these tough concepts and then switch into pair-programming through the challenges to cement the concepts - The evening session is comprised of: - 6:30 - 6:45pm: Sign in and meet your future pair programming partner. - 6:45 - 7:15pm: Core JavaScript concept for the challenge and introduction to the secret hack for learning to code - pair-programming. - 7:15 - 8:00pm: Pair-programming. If anyone has suggestions for better tutorials for these concepts in JS specifically, please let me know. Otherwise, it will be interesting to try it out and see what happens, and maybe get some new people in the space.

Need hardware USB sniffer!

by Marc Juul

I'm trying to reverse-engineer the communication between a USB OTG device and an android app. Does anyone have a "Beagle USB 12" or similar device that I might be able to borrow for a couple of hours? Or failing that, does anyone have an android device with usbmon enabled in the kernel? I can meet you at your hackerspace of choice. Will bring beer :) -- marc/juul

Need UI/UX designer/implementer for synthetic biology project

by Marc Juul

Hi! I'm working on a project to develop an open source decentralized system for sharing biological samples (DNA, strains, etc). Think decentralized github + inventory tracking + biological sneakernet :) I'm doing the client and server side javascript but we need someone to help us with the UI/UX design and implementation. Let me know if you're interested and we can meet up somewhere. Formal description below. ------ # Description Work with the bionet team to develop UI/UX for web app aimed at facilitating the decentralized sharing of open source physical biological materials (DNA, strains, etc). Work will include developing web app look and feel through communication with the rest of the team, sketching wireframes, building mockups and implementing a UI for the web app using HTML and CSS (no javascript). # Time commitment Part-time employed position for now. # Start date Immediate. # About the team We're a small team of six dedicated humans working on aspects of the project ranging from wetware and legal to hardware and software. You will work closely with our software lead to integrate UI with frontend/backend functionality, and collaborate with all teammembers on aspects of the app as they relate to their respective areas of expertise. # Software details The project is new and development on the first prototype is underway but in its early stages. All code is being released under open source licenses. The software stack is nodejs + leveldb + browserify using modules and ideas for decentralized/offline web apps developed by folks including substack, mafintosh, dominictarr and maxogden. Focus is on development and reuse of small modular components rather than reliance on existing frameworks. # Skills UI/UX design experience. Extensive experience with modern web app frontend html+css development for both desktop and mobile. Experience with development of custom graphical UI assets. Basic command line experience and ability to use git/github a plus. Javascript experience a plus but definitely not required. Experience with open source development a plus. # About The BioBricks Foundation Our mission is to ensure that the engineering of biology is conducted in an open and ethical manner to benefit all people and the planet. -- marc/juul

Suggest Omni for Bay Area Bike Share station

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Bay Area Bike Share <http://www.bayareabikeshare.com/> is about to install a number of bike share stations in the East Bay. You can suggest locations here: http://suggest.bayareabikeshare.com/ I think it would be great to have a bike share station in front of the Omni. If we can get enough people to vote for it, that might actually happen... Patrik

LCD video display thingy

by Jake

my friend found one of these in the trash: http://www.glorystargroup.com/ClientFolder/glorystar2014/Library/Tree/pdf_S… it has a 2GB SD card in it that seems to have gone bad but otherwise i think it works. I have the big plastic display thing it was mounted in, so we can put it on a wall somewhere and have it play whatever video you want in a loop. It has speakers too if you want it to be really annoying. if anyone wants it let me know, otherwise i'll stick it in the vending machine. -jake

someone keeps leaving the front door unlocked

by Jake

what did you expect would happen when you handed out physical keys to people? they copy them and hand out copies, and then those get copied too. Now someone is repeatedly using their key to unlock the front door, and leaving the lock in the "unlocked" position. I arrived at Omni at 10PM and the door was like that. I immediately found someone with a key and used their key to re-lock the door, and I confirmed with that person that they understood to always re-lock the door after using their key. When I left Omni at 2:15AM, it was unlocked again. I had a front-door key stashed somewhere and I went and got it to re-lock the door, since there was nobody around answering my request for a front door key. The moral of the story? Someone with a key is leaving the front door unlocked, multiple times a day, including between the hours of 10PM and 2AM. I have worked very hard to make sure the magnetic stripe access card system is 100% reliable, including it having a battery backup and automatic notifications that go out to multiple people if anything goes wrong. I did this work so we wouldn't make the same mistake of handing out physical keys that get copied and copied and handed out to whomever. I propose we re-key the front door and only give keys to very specific people who promise not to make any copies. It's easy enough to add cards to the card access system (that's a whole other discussion) that we should not have to be handing out keys anymore. -jake

robot has a full-size router mounted on it now

by Jake

last night we installed a full-size wood router on the end of the sudoroom robot, with a 1/4" diameter endmill, using the metal bracket Elisabeth made. And we carved a shape into a piece of wood with it. if you need to route any wood stuff please let me know. I can help you do it. If you make a simple SVG file with the path you want to carve, the robot can follow it, similar to the way it drew this dinosaur with a sharpie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY9v50FBd5E -jake

DIY project website just about done

by Adam

Hi all, I'd like to share with you a website I've been working on as a side-project. Http://DIYsci.org It's a place for people to share all the things they make, and build a following :-). It's a totally custom CMS. Feel free to register and poke around, it's a cool platform. It's just about ready to go public, but there's one big issue: all emails seem to be going right to spam. I have a mail-in-a-box SMTP server configured on a D.O. droplet, with proper DNS records etc. Still, no luck. If anyone thinks this a thing they see as cool / would like to get behind, feel free to reach out!

frankentrikes indiegogo

by Jake

My friend is trying to start a business building electric cargo tricycles: https://igg.me/at/frankentrikes "do me the honor of at least watching the vid if you haven't already cause we put a lot of work into that and share it with Noisebridge and SudoRoom This is about diy going pro. There's nothing shameful about taking a successful project and wanting to share it to a broader audience. I would love nothing more than to see tricycles take over American streets just as they are being driven out of Asian streets. That would be a genuine victory."

need M8 bolts for robot

by Jake

so there's a robot being built at sudoroom... another one. it's based on a golf-club bag caddy cart thing I pulled out of the trash at Shipyard in berkeley. It's pretty lightweight so it's less likely to break peoples legs if it goes berzerk, compared with the last mobile robot i made (MC Hawking) which was based on a really heavy electric wheelchair. Robb has supplied some awesome batteries, lfp100aha which each need two bolts to connect to them, M8 thread, and no more than 10mm long threads with no shoulder. We have four of them so we need eight bolts. if you have access to a kit of M8 bolts and can grab eight 10mm long (the threaded part that is) of them, we need them to proceed with the robot. it's next to the regular robot arm, which is in its usual spot. If you bring the bolts to me or Robb or place them in the hand of the big robot, that would be awesome. Also, seeking AI programmers to make this robot work. thank you -jake

Platform cleaned, sound system upgraded.

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

Hey all, The network equipment had been organized recently, and the platform had been reorganized for better access to the printers. However, I decluttered the rest of the junk laying around and consolidated the audio equipment. Please help keep this area clean and useable! There are two 1/8" headphone jacks connected to the "phono" input of the fisher stereo. One is on the platform, at the standing desk. The other is on the main sudo table on the ground floor, as usual. You can also select the "tuner" input. Please leave both speakers A and B on, they sound better together (less distortion, harder to blow out). This is a lighter-duty set up than before, so the sound level should be more manageable. Further, we have several more inputs available, so please take advantage of that. Maybe we should connect sudo bot in to one of these? Murmurmurmurmur Gnight!

Would Sudo/Omni want this table?

by Anca Mosoiu

Hi everyone, I'm just finishing up a move from Tech Liminal's space in downtown Oakland to a much smaller space, and will not be needing some of the furniture. We've already found homes for everything but this round IKEA table: [image: Inline image 1] Would this be useful at the Omni? If so, I can drop it off tonight around 8:30 PM. The table is in okay shape - the top has some dings on it. It's pretty sturdy and around 48" in diameter. Cheers, Anca. -- -=-=-=- Anca Mosoiu | Tech Liminal anca(a)techliminal.com M: (510) 220-6660 http://techliminal.com | T: @techliminal | F: facebook.com/techliminal

Need computer vision javascript person

by Marc Juul

I have a contract position available for someone who is up for the task of implementing/improving web-based 1D/2D barcode scanning algorithms. The details are: 1. We have a partial DataMatrix scanner implementation that needs completion/improvement (speed / fidelity) or replacement. 2. We need 1D barcode scanning ported from Java to JavaScript. The first one is the most important. The organization is the BioBricks foundation which is a non-profit: "Our mission is to ensure that the engineering of biology is conducted in an open and ethical manner to benefit all people and the planet." We're developing a system to facilitate the sharing of open wetware (DNA, strains, etc.) and part of tracking samples is scanning tiny 2D barcodes on the bottom of sample tubes that are sometimes partially obscured by ice/condensation. All code should be implemented in javascript that can run both in node.js and in the browser. All code developed will be released as open source. Work is decentralized so you can work from home/wherever. Let me know if you're interested or know anyone who might be interested. -- marc/juul

Need powered speakers for Omni deloitering

by Marc Juul

The Omni's insurance company is upset because people are sitting on the steps outside of the ballroom entrance drinking beer. We have tried talking to them but they're not being cooperative. Since it's an emergency exit we can't make it hard to sit on the steps without also blocking the exit. So! Taking a queue from the Copenhagen main train station me and Robb have set up a system that constantly plays loud dramatic atonal symphony music from the other side of the door. Unfortunately we don't have any powered speakers that are quire loud enough to penetrate. If you have any < 12" powered speakers that you'd like to donate to this endavour, please bring them by :) -------------- For the technically curious: It's a cheap Western Digital N750 router running openwrt with a usb stick full of mp3s, a usb audio interface and some desktop computer speakers. Feel free to add music but ensure that they are mp3 format. Just turn it off before unplugging the usb stick. It will automatically start playing all mp3s on the stick when it boots. We had the idea that it would be really useful if we could blast it only when people sit there, so if we had a camera that could specifically only see the steps and then allowed sudo/omni members to tune in and blast music when someone is sitting there, that would be nice. -- marc/juul

vending machine homing switch mystery solved

by Jake

so i've been working on the black sudoroom vending machine (vending1): https://sudoroom.org/wiki/hack-o-mat which had previously been hacked by students at UC Berkeley (i think) I believe it's a Snacktron like Emma and Ed's machine. (unlike our brown vending machine which is a snackshop II) pictures of their machine can be seen here: http://spaz.org/~jake/pix/vend/ they had ripped out the original control unit, and wired it up with a bunch of reed relays and an arduino. The motors of the vending machine are wired as a grid of rows and columns, so the controller needs to be able to enable a single row and column in order to power one product motor. But it also needs to be able to detect when the product motor has rotated a full turn, and is back at the "home" position where it needs to stop. There's a "home" sensor on the back of the motor, but the way it's wired was a mystery for a while. Here's some pictures of the homing circuit: http://spaz.org/~jake/pix/vend/IMG_20160401_015211.jpg http://spaz.org/~jake/pix/vend/IMG_20160401_015700.jpg as you can see, the only difference between the button being pressed or not pressed, is that the 420nF capacitor is in parallel with the motor or not. Since the whole thing is in series with a diode (to protect against trying to turn a motor backwards) we were stumped as to how to detect whether a motor was homed or not. Thanks to Zach who donated some test equipment including this awesome signal generator (along with a nice power supply and bench multimeter): http://imgur.com/LTSFfOe I was able to connect an AC waveform in series with a 12VDC supply to one of the motors, and figure out how to detect whether the home switch is closed or not. Basically, you make a 31KHz (or similar frequency) squarewave in series with the power supply, and watch the current through the motor. If the button is open and the capacitor is not in-circuit, the motor's inductance absorbs the AC and the current draw is relatively smooth. But when the motor arrives at the home position (when you need to stop delivering product!) the capacitor gets switched in, and now you'll see a lot of the AC on the current path of the system. Here is a video showing the voltage across a 22-ohm series resistor while the motor is rotating with 12VDC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHIGDw5HRCg apparently it takes that motor about 11 seconds to dispense a product and finish returning to home position, assuming the product weighs nothing. by the way, you'll notice that i'm using the old analog oscilloscope. Unfortunately the LeCroy 9510 has started crashing, basically bluescreening. It probably needs to be opened up and cleaned, as it got wet after a fire before it was donated to sudoroom. Or maybe someone wants to donate a nicer oscilloscope to sudoroom? anyway, now I know how to detect the motor homing signal, and I just need to wire up this machine to its arduino to detect the signal and dispense product more accurately. If anyone wants to help, please let me know. by the way, if you are wondering how the UC students detected when the motors were finished dispensing product, the answer is absurd: they put a laser beam across the path where product would fall when dispensed, and they watched for the laser beam to be interrupted. did it work? I don't know. probably the semester ended and they got their grade and moved on, and then they donated the vending machine to us. -jake

Schedule change and update from last meeting/hacknight and

by Marc Juul

Unless someone complains I'm dropping the Thursday evening events for now. That means that we have one weekly meeting only: Tuesday at 7:30 pm. Last meeting I was planning to prototype a 12v power cable. A couple of new meshers showed up though. I'm sure these won't be people who show up once and then never again since one is already an active sudo'er and the other is a ccl'er. I ended up intro-ing them to the mesh. One of them should be able to tie intro existing mesh connections in west oakland but needed approval from housemates, the other person has a view of lake merritt and he took a home node and picostation extender back with him :) Next Tuesday I want to try to solder those cables and we need to design a sticker that annotates what each port on the home node is used for so we don't have to manually make little notes/stickers every time. -- marc/juul

Re: [sudo-discuss] oscilloscope, power supply, signal generator "donation"

by Zach

Thanks for sending out this email and CC-ing me jake. To be clear, these are meant as a donation (no quotation marks) to sudo room, for as long as sudo room exists. What I mentioned to Jake was that if sudo room closes for some reason (we are all struggling with rent in the bay here) I would want them back. They would be the property of sudo room for as long as sudo room is around (hopefully forever). does that make sense / is that agreeable to people? i wouldnt care if the equipment was damaged from use or whatever if it is very hard to pick them up i can make some time in the coming weeks to drive it all down there. #hackersolidarity! -Zach -------------------------------------------- On Thu, 4/7/16, Jake <jake(a)spaz.org> wrote: Subject: oscilloscope, power supply, signal generator "donation" To: sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org Cc: "Zach T" <organic_unity(a)yahoo.com>, jacobmowbray(a)gmail.com Date: Thursday, April 7, 2016, 1:52 PM Zach wants to donate these nice pieces of test equipment to sudoroom: http://imgur.com/wZuPmi2 http://imgur.com/LTSFfOe http://imgur.com/oQQsfgc and Jacob M. has volunteered to go pick them up (although he doesn't have a car and they're in SF) Does anyone with a car want to go to SF to pick them up? but Zach wants to know that he can get them back whenever he wants.
