if sudoroom wants the omni to continue to exist, we will need to all get on-board to keep this boat afloat. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2015 17:26:13 -0700 From: Sarah Pritchard <sarahloupritchard(a)gmail.com> To: "consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Subject: [omni-consensus] !! Financial announcement !! Hi friends,I'm stuck at work and probably won't make it to the delegate's meeting tonight, but I wanted to make an announcement about the Omni's finances. As many of you know, the Omni has been running a monthly deficit of about $8,000 - $9,000 every month. We've been able to make up for that by dipping into the funds raised in December through the Indiegogo campaign, but those funds are running out quickly. We currently only have enough $$ in the bank to cover two months of rent and expenses. Member collectives can do your part by paying invoices on time (and even early if you're able!) for the next few months. If your collective has outstanding invoices for rent and shared expenses, this would be a great time to appeal to your members for extra support so you can pay any $$ still owed to the Omni. The finances working group has been updating our Quickbooks and will soon be able to present more detailed and thrilling financial reports so everyone will have a clearer picture of where the Omni's money is coming from and how it's being spent. Better data = more lucid decisions. Let me know if you have any questions about this. The next finances working group will be held on Wednesday, July 22 at 7 pm at the Omni. Come hang out with us if you want to learn more about Omni $$$. xxxxooo, SP

Re: [sudo-discuss] wheelchair motor controller

by Jake

if you put a 1 ohm resistance, you will just blow up the resistor. 24 volts divided by 1 ohm = 24 amps 24 volts times 24 amps = 576 watts you need to find the highest number of ohms that will still cause the motor controller to not give you an error. Lets say you find that a 100 ohm resistor (in place of the missing motor) causes the controller to be OK. When you move the joystick, and it tries to turn the fake motor, it will give it up to 24volts. But it's a 100 ohm resistor. 24v / 100 ohm = 0.24 amps 24v * 0.25 amps = 5.76 watts if it works with a 100 ohm, you should use that. 5.76 watts is reasonable. 576 watts is most of a horsepower and is not reasonable. 5 in case you're not confused i'll tell you this: the power a motor consumes (from a fixed voltage source for example) depends on the amount of force it's putting out. So if you have a motor just spinning a wheel in the air it doesn't take as much power as if you're making it grind grain, or push a fat person up a steep incline. The ohms you measure when you use a multimeter on the stopped motor correspond to its MAXIMUM power, basically. so if you stopped the motor and applied 24v, 576 watts would flow through it and heat it up pretty fast. But if you let it spin freely in the air, its effective impedance would be much higher than 1 ohm! as for how to isolate the motors for different jobs.. we can read the manual on the control box and adjust the settings, or just hook up the computer control and let it do all the work. I don't know though. -jake On Thu, 16 Jul 2015, Robert Benson wrote: > i'm such an idiot. when i checked the motor resistance, i checked the controller's motor circuit resistance. the actual motor resistance is 1 ohm. > > however, even idiots get lucky...the motor worked with 100ohm. having realized the above, i will not power it again until i find a 1ohm resistor. > > for the record, moving the joystick in any direction moves the wheel in some way. so how do we isolate the motors for different jobs? > > On Thu, Jul 16, 2015 at 12:49 AM, Jake <jake(a)spaz.org> wrote: > what do you mean both motors > > you only have one motor last i checked. > > On Thu, 16 Jul 2015, Robert Benson wrote: > > my ohmmeter had a "k" in front of the ohm symbol when it read 150 k ; not a M or just the ohm symbol. > > datasheet i posted earlier seemed to suggest the motor is 120V while the brake solenoid is 24V > > both motors read 150kiloohm :/ > > On Wed, Jul 15, 2015 at 11:45 PM, Robert Benson <sf99er(a)gmail.com> wrote: > gonna have to have a high wattage rating, huh? > > On Wed, Jul 15, 2015 at 11:41 PM, Robert Benson <sf99er(a)gmail.com> wrote: > 150k says the motor > > > on hunt for same > > On Wed, Jul 15, 2015 at 11:30 PM, Jake <jake(a)spaz.org> wrote: > a wire jumper is approximately zero ohms, which will destroy stuff when power flows through it. > > the motor controller is complaining because it sees infinity ohms across the missing motor's terminals.

Outernet edit-a-thon this weekend

by Pete Forsyth

Hi all, There's a cool event based in Uganda, but designed for remote participation, this weekend. "Outernet" is a project to repurpose satellites to "broadcast" free information, that can be picked up by inexpensive receivers, for free, and then reshared for free over local networks/WiFi. A way to get information to remote and underserved parts of the world. It's one-way communication, so certainly not a replacement for the Internet or a total solution to the Digital Divide -- but a very cool project nonetheless. They are also developing democratic processes for deciding what content to share. They are having an edit-a-thon this weekend. I thought Sudo folks might be interested. Keep in mind, this is 10am to 10pm Uganda time -- which midnight to noon Saturday Pacific (I think it's the same hours Sunday, need to confirm). Event link/signup: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/outernet-edit-a-thon-tickets-17702656121 And see their blog post: http://blog.outernet.is/please-steal-this-blog-post/?utm_source=Outernet+Up… If anybody would like to pass this along to Noisebridge or other lists that might be interested, please do! -Pete [[User:Peteforsyth]] on the wiki

wheelchair motor controller

by Robert Benson

Hey all, I'm trying to build a winch for the 14' projection screen that going up over the ballroom stage out of a wheelchair motor assembly. Per Jake's suggestion, I hacked 2 server PSUs to get 24v@14a but the controller is not working and the error code says the right wheel/motor is missing/not engaged. Anyone know what I am missing? Do I need to jump something to get the controller to engage while it is "incomplete"? Thank you, robb let thar b lulz

Fwd: [Announce-sfbay] You Are Invited: SF Premiere of "Life on Bitcoin" Film at the Archive

by Vicky Knox

A documentary for the bitcoin-heads on living exclusively on btc. I'm a total hater. My impression is that it's a couple of bourgie SF-y folks with a self-imposed "struggle", but I think it should be interesting nonetheless! Plus, the Internet Archive is incredible. :] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Archive.org announcements for San Francisco Bay Area < announce-sfbay(a)archive.org> Date: 2015-07-14 9:55 GMT-07:00 Subject: [Announce-sfbay] You Are Invited: SF Premiere of "Life on Bitcoin" Film at the Archive To: vknoxsironi(a)gmail.com [image: https://ia601508.us.archive.org/28/items/dcgdafcc/dcgdafcc.jpeg] Join us *Wednesday, **July 22nd from 6:30-10:30 p.m*. for a the San Francisco Premiere of the documentary film "*Life on Bitcoin*," at the Internet Archive. The film covers the experience of newlyweds Austin and Beccy Craig who struggle for 100+ days to live entirely on the upstart currency. Austin and Beccy will attend and conduct a Q&A session following the film. The couple began the experiment when their credit cards, debit cards and cash were confiscated at the airport upon arrival from their honeymoon. “It felt like learning to swim by jumping in the deep end of the pool,” said Austin Craig. For the next three months, the Craigs tested Bitcoin (and their marriage) by relying solely on the cryptocurrency for every expense, including gas, rent, groceries, speeding tickets, and insurance. For every transaction, they had to evangelize the currency to survive. Ultimately their adventure took them on a road trip across the United States and into Europe and Asia. This film sheds light on the practical strengths and early limitations of bitcoin technology and mixes it with a large dose of entertainment and fun.

SOIC-14 SOT-8 surface mounting reflow oven?

by Cere Misc

So there's this chip that I just gotta have for a project I am working on. The only problem is that it seems like EVERYTHING in IC form now it packaged in these teensy little surface mount chips. I don't have a small enough soldering iron and I'd rather not hassle with trying to make it work with my shitty equipment. Wondering if sudo or Noisebridge is set up for a solder reflow oven with an accurate temperature control? Also, I am not totally clear about how I create a silkscreen soldering setup for a given PCB design. Does anyone on this list have a lot of experience with this? Thanks, Cere

existential finance report

by James Halliday

Here is the finance report from the meeting tonight. We have $1031 in the bank. Our minimum expenses are ~$2400 / month: * rent: $2000 * utilities, taxes: $300 * insurance: $94 Our income is $1820 / month: * gratipay: 285.96*4 = 1145 * stripe: 675 This means our bank account is draining at $580 / month. $1031 / ($580 / month) = 1.78 months So in 1.78 months we will be out of money. Unless you help! https://sudoroom.org/donate/ Every amount helps.

Hi all, I'll be teaching a liqueur making workshop at CCL this Sunday: http://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/events/222550428/ If you know anyone local with a lemon tree that badly needs picking, or a walnut tree that still has unripe green walnuts on it, let me know! We'd love to turn them into yummy limoncello and nocino liqueurs... Thanks! Patrik

Today's menu

by Marc Juul

I made a little app and set up one of the old One Laptop Per Child computers to show the next five upcoming omni events in the next 24 hours. The idea is to mount it on the outside of omni as a sort of menu of the day's upcoming events :) The OLPC laptop is good for this because it has a special screen that turns reflective when there's lots of light. It is fully readable both at night and in the harshest California sun. Here's a photo: https://imgur.com/wRLir3a Here's the little web app (it's formatted for the smaller OLPC display): https://omnicommons.org/events-olpc/ Here's the code and write-up: https://github.com/sudoroom/omni-olpc-events Now we just need a box with a thick layer of transparent acrylic to house it.

Needing someone with Switching and Routing experience

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hellos, We have physically connected two switches: HP and Cisco (I believe), via CAT6 cable. One switch is located at the Server Area and the other on the second floor (which will be used to connect computers that can be used by the public in general). THE CALL: The layer one part is done, but I feel that someone else with more switching/routing knowledge than me should check this two switches for any possible misconfiguration. I am not keen on this, but I could help someone that can lead this part. Please let me know if someone else already done this, so I can drop this part and continue with the rest of things that need to be done on the second floor.

2nd Floor - Server area cable done + Relocating HP 24 port switch

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Okay folks, the run from the second floor (where the public computers area) to the server area has been done. It took me a few hours, moving like molasses, but it is done! :) * One end has been terminated at the Server area patch panel port 32. * The other end of the cable was terminated to a female RJ45 connector (without a box, because I didn't find one). I WILL BE MOVING HP SWITCH UP THE WALL: I noticed that a HP Procurve 24 port switch was left on top of one of the desktop computers; but I will move it up to the column above this table, so members and visitors don't mess with it. -Remember, this switch is feeding a connection the door lock system and, I believe, also the bookstore register area. And we really don't want those two connections to lose connections, just because someone unplugged the wrong cable or unplugged the wrong electrical cord or etc, etc. I will be updating the chart by the patch panel at the Server area to reflect this new connection.

replace light bulb stick

by Jake

one of the 8-foot fluorescent lightbulbs in the fixture in the south-east corner of the room needs to be replaced. it's the bulb on the west side of the fixture (the bulb with the blackened end) and it's causing the ballast to overheat and shut off regularly. please get the super-long free-standing ladder (it might be on the stage) and set it up next to the fixture, at the north end of the fixture so you can access the end opposite the spring-loaded contacts. Then push the bad bulb toward the south end to free it from the north-end contact, and carefully lower it down. replacement bulbs are in a box in the room between La Commune and the Ballroom, which is also between the two staircases that go to the upstairs kitchen area. You will need a key to access the room. There also may be new lightbulbs in a box in sudoroom/CCL or perhaps in the basement, or you can steal one from one of the fixtures in the basement labeled "ballast" if it has bulbs in it, but doesn't light up. If you access the supply room to get the bulb, you should consider putting a transparent sheath over the bulb, with the black plastic endcaps over both ends, before installing it. And tape to keep the endcaps from falling off. thank you -jake

Wanted: your Hackerspace Design Patterns

by Mitch Altman

I submitted a proposal for a talk at CCCamp 2015: an updated presentation of the Hackerspace Design Patterns. It was accepted! tl;dr: Have you observed a Pattern (what works well, and what not so well) at your hackerspace that you think others can benefit from? If so, please share it with me, so I can share it with others in my talk. Design Patterns are generalize-able statements of what works well and doesn't work so well -- so that others can learn what may work well (or not so well) for them. The original Hackerspace Design Patterns was presented at CCCamp 2007 and 24C3 when there were only ~40 hackerspaces in the world. Here's the original Design Patterns (which are way worth reading!): http://events.ccc.de/congress/2007/Fahrplan/attachments/1003_Building%20a%2… These patterns directly inspired the creation of the hackerspace movement. Now that there are over 2,000 hackerspaces listed on hackerspaces.org, it's time to update the Design Patterns to include 8 years of additional collective experience -- and present them at CCCamp 2015. FYI: A somewhat updated version (that needs more updating) of the Hackerspace Design Patterns are listed at hackerspaces.org: https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/Design_Patterns Do you have any observations of what works well, and what doesn't work so well at your hackerspace (or any hackerspace)? Can you state it in a way that may be generalized so that people starting (or running) hackerspaces may benefit from your observation? If so, please send me your observation, and I'll incorporate it into my talk. My 30-minute talk at CCCamp 2015 will include some old and some new examples. After the talk we will have a workshop on Hackerspace Design Patterns, and really get into what works well, and doesn't work well at hackerspaces. I'll take notes, write it up, and post it so that everyone starting or running a hackerspace can benefit from our collective experiences. Thanks, Mitch.

Unpacking Windows Executables

by lewis_black

Hi all! I'm on linux and would like to see the file contents of an .exe file (from the terminal): Here's what happens when I run the file command: $ file some.exe PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows, Nullsoft Installer self-extracting archive I've found several GUIs online which will run on windows and do the disassembling, but would love to just be able to unpack from the linux terminal. I've tried decompressing with bzip2, xz, gzip and no success. I'd figure I'd ask around if anybody has done this in the past. Thanks, -Luis

Re: [sudo-discuss] Rannette attacked someone physically for the second time

by johanna faust

@Wild Cat, way to go keeping level headed, its inspiring. even though i am not one of the individuals involved, and especially because i have at times found myself treated in a similar, if mild comparatively , way, (what a twisty sentence) *ahem* would like to apopolgize on behalf of humanity, which apparently has been acting reprehensibly. i am sorry. We monkeys are trying to get this sorted out -- we have to, and, i may like to see other ppls side of things mostly, but in this case any asshole or idiot who thinks otherwise is just plain wrong. wrong to treat you badly and wrong not to spend that precious energy and time helping to sort out the mess we call the human condition. I offer this even though you are a stranger, for being level headed, because it is my belief that the most levelheaded monkeys are our best hope of averting nuclear war or a similar, stupid fate.

Music resources

by Adam Munich

Hi all, No one gives a rat's ass about my mission to build cheap x-ray units for the unprivileged world, so I'm done with electronics and any non-google/other tech firm related engineering. My new goal is to put a song on the Billboard top 10 by the time I'm 25. Anyone know of any good "learn to music" resources? Cheers, -Adam --- Adam Munich - Daring to take risks most only dream of Web: http://adammunich.com Tel: +1-650-452-0554 Be • knowledgeable • social • patient • fearless • compassionate • fun • humble • forgiving. Be a leader
