Dimmable 100W LED Driver Design for Arduino

by Robert Benson

I'm trying to drive several devices: 1) 1x 1w 12v fan (pentium 2 cpu cooler) 2) 1x 100w 35v 3a smd led. (I want the led to be dimmable & ideally capable of high frequency switching :)) - *Forward Voltage (VF): DC 32-34V* - *Forward current (IF): 3000MA* - *Out put Lumens: 8000-9500LM* 3) several other servo/stepper motors for pan/tilt type uses with one arduino uno. Obviously, the arduino will not power the led so I need a driver for it & maybe even the motors. My research leads me to think that the led wants a constant current of 3 amps & a variable voltage for dimming. Circuits of this caliber have not been forthcoming in my searches on the web. Thank you for your consideration. Cheers Robb

FW: Inventors tv show - call for inventors

by Mitch Altman

FYI, This was received on the Noisebridge Press alias. If you're interested, please contact Ashley directly. Best, Mitch. From: ashley(a)pitch5productions.com Subject: Inventors tv show - call for inventors Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2015 14:53:13 -0700 To: press(a)noisebridge.net Hi, My name is Ashley and I work for Pitch 5 Productions, a tv production company based in Los Angeles. We are working on a pilot for a major cable network and are looking for inventors for a segment of the show, so we’re reaching out to Maker/Hackerspaces around the country to find some really amazing creations. I wanted to reach out and see if anyone within your organization might be interested, or if you could submit the following post in any bulletins or message boards. Here’s what we’re looking for: We are casting inventors who would want to have one of their inventions safety tested by a major product testing company. Inventors would appear on camera for a non airing pilot. Inventors would demonstrate their invention and engineers would put their product through appropriate safety testing. For example, if the product has electrical components, some type of motor, or plugs in, they would put the product through the necessary tests to receive a safety mark. This is a great opportunity for inventors who are trying to get their product to market. Interested candidates please send contact info, a brief description of your product and current photo of yourself to ashley(a)pitch5productions.com. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call or email. Best, Ashley Sims Research AssistantPitch 5 ProductionsOffice (818) 479-4221

Apple PowerBook G4

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, Jerome and I were messing with this old apple laptop, we left it on the 3D printer desk, assuming that no one would bother stealing such an under-powered device. Lo and behold, it seems to be missing... Hopefully somebody just picked it up thinking it was an up-for-grabs relic! If you have it, please return it to me. If you've seen it, please let me know where/when. If you know who has it, please let me know. Thanks! // Matt

Looking for someone that would hold my hand and...

by danarauz＠gmail.com

I know the subject line is like.. woot!?? :) But seriously... :) I am looking for someone to hold my hand and walk me through (help me with) a couple of small projects. Here is what I wish to accomplish: 1- to get a router with OpenWRT (Not sure of its capabilities, but I like the idea to get ride of the corporate code, because potential backdoors) 2- and if needed, a tiny computer that would be always connected to a VPN account, so that all home computers can use it as their gateway; IF the router cannot do this. What can I give in exchange? Well, I don't know what knowledge I can share when all of you seem to be way above my head. I don't know, maybe Photography? Spanish? :) Please let me know if interested, we can start right away. I am eager to start this.

Don't drop off random "donations" (like stone countertops) in CCL without checking with us first!

by Patrik D'haeseleer

In general, if you have any piece of equipment or furniture you would like to donate to CCL, *please check with us first*! You can always email info(a)counterculturelabs.org to contact some of the organizers (I'll check if we have a donations@ and equipment@ alias as well). At a very minimum, for goodness sake please add a note to whatever you dropped off. So *whomever dropped off a bunch of stone countertops in CCL, please get rid of them.* We don't need them, we don't want them, they're taking up space, and we sure as heck prefer not to have to clean up after you... The same principle applies to any equipment "donations" to Sudo and to the Omni as a whole as well. If you haul something in, assuming you're doing someone else a favor, it is still YOUR responsibility to make sure the respective organizations actually want your "treasure". We are all having a hard enough time keeping entropy under control with the stuff we have already... Thanks! Patrik

Then we asked the organizers to correct all their flyers, which they apparently did. Our community has no love for Google, gentrification, OR for ableism. We are sorry to have our name associated with any of those things. "Anti-intellectualism" is just a cheap shot which portrays tech workers as intellectual and everyone else as stupid. This is an economic issue. You should know better.

SUDO Door

by Dustin Mabry

Hey folks! I, Dusty, and Anka have been putting in some time with the door to SUDO and CCL. We have reached a point were it is important to get information/input from you...as we can't proceed with this project without it. *The basic needs for this door:* - The door needs to sweep/open outward, toward the main exits of the building. As such it needs to be "hanged" in a way opposite of it's current (now former) position. - There needs to be a "panic bar" installed along with a nice "door closer". We have the door closer and a panic bar. The panic bar as selected by Marc (who knows more about this stuff than Anka and myself). *Needed from SUDO/CCL folks:* - In order to re-hang this door, we need to figure out how the panic bar will work with the existing door frame. - We need to have folks from SUDO relay information about, or instal (preferred), a panic bar system that will work with whatever electronic entrance mechanism you will want for your space. A note on Labor: Anka and myself, Dusty, are working with doors throughout the building. We are learning as we go and I feel that it's much slower than I anticipated. Each door in this place is different and most are quite wonky. I will be out of town for the month of July...and subsequently unable to work on this project until my return in August. We want you to have a great door for your space, and we want it to be exactly what you want. :). Can SUDO folks take this issue to a meeting and have it discussed (if appropriate)? Thanks! Dusty

Re: [sudo-discuss] Sudo Member Space Access procedure

by Jake

Hi Niki! I meant to respond when you sent a message like this awhile ago, regarding someone who refused to properly close the door after opening it. Before I talk about the technical situation, which I believe applies to this problem, I want to try to answer your specific question. The procedure for granting door access, when I do it, is by demonstrating how the unlocking and re-locking procedure works, and making sure people understand that they must re-lock the door after opening it. But of course sometimes people will forget, or worse, actively shirk their duty to re-lock the door. In the latter case, if a person refuses your request to re-lock the door they unlocked, I will electronically revoke their access until they explain themselves at the appropriate meeting. This would also be appropriate for people who repeatedly forget to re-lock the door after themselves. We have been working on the door technology a lot this last week, improving reliability. But we have been holding back on adding features because I understand that we are very close to replacing the front door. The new front door will not "unlock" and "re-lock" but will be the usual type of door which you "buzz" open, and when it closes it locks again. One of the features we can add in the meantime is a record of incidents when people use their card to unlock the door, and it does not get re-locked within 5 minutes. If the people are not members of La Commune, we will know to contact them for re-education. It's my understanding that we have received a permit to replace the front door, and that someone bottomlining that project has taken measurements. I do not know how long it will take or who is doing it, but this is why I have not changed the front door system to activate the doorknob instead of unlocking the pins. If it activated the doorknob instead, it would automatically lock when the door closed again. But it's a lot of work to do considering the door will be replaced very soon. Once again, if any person with electronic access is being irresponsible with unlocking the door, I am willing to de-activate their card until they come to the appropriate meeting to resolve the problem. And I will be more pro-active in reminding people to lock the door they open, and I will look into the access logging feature. thank you, -jake On Friday, Niki wrote: Hey friends, Can someone point me to where the procedure for granting new Sudo member access to the space is (if there is one?) The front door was left open by a Sudo member (no personal hard feelings!) and I just want to make sure that it's being communicated to members that the door should be closed and locked if no one is watching the front. I am working on an orientation pamphlet for folks who are new to the space (it's taking longer than anticipated!) so hopefully by the time we re-key, we'll have something more tangible to provide people. <3 N

Last minutes to become a Founding Member of CCL!

A -80 freezer makes sure that the project you're working on today will still be around for people to build on next year, or five years from now. Our plan is for this to become a resource for the whole community, so we will be happy to store archival collections from BioCurious and other DIYbio labs. We'll be one of the community's distributed backup nodes, as it were. Support your friendly local biohackers and mad scientists! 28 minutes to go and counting... Patrik

help with laser cutting (& design) ?

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, I've been meaning to design and laser cut a contraption for our Science Sideshow at the Cal Academy NightLive LIVE <http://www.calacademy.org/nightlife/nightlife-live-june> event this Thursday evening, but I'm rapidly running out of time. Anyone able to give me a hand? Basically, I found these vases that look just like giant test tubes - long cylinder with a rounded bottom. So now I want to make a giant test tube rack, and have them sitting at our booth with some food color and dry ice, steaming away. Would look awesome! I got about halfway through designing the thing in Inkscape, but I've never dealt with designing fasteners for plywood before. Needs to have a wide base so it doesn't tip over, but also needs to be hangable from a wall, so the base may need to be removable. If I were to order this through Ponoko, I'd probably go with something like their 1/4 inch amber bamboo plywood <http://www.ponoko.com/make-and-sell/show-material/226-bamboo-amber-3-ply>. Is there any plywood at Sudo? Recommendations for a good place to buy nice plywood? Patrik

I'm not sure our universe contains big enough N's or O's to respond to this appropriately.

Hello! Brainbot is looking to hire a hardware engineer! All experiences levels welcome to apply.

by Lily Wang

Hey everyone, I'm Lily at Brainbot! We're making a wearable mindfulness device that vibrates when you are stressed or distracted, using awareness of your real-time HRV signals to help guide you back to a place of calm and focus. We're based in San Francisco and working on our fourth prototype design. We've raised some angel funding and in July we'll join HAX - a hardware accelerator based in Shenzhen, China - for a three-month program to rapidly prototype and go to production on our device. After the program we'll be back in San Francisco to launch! We're looking for a great hardware engineer to come along on the ride - we offer a lower salary than Apple but substantially more equity for the right person - and the chance to create something from scratch at the earliest stage. Send us an email at team(a)brainbot.me if this sounds like something you might love to do. We're particularly looking for some combination of the following interests/skills/experience: Arduino prototyping Biosensors Embedded systems Digital signal processing Rapid prototyping Manufacturing Soft goods and industrial design PCB layout and design Mindfulness or meditation practice Thanks for reading. Let us know if you have any questions! --Lily

Digital Rights in Libraries Un/Conference at Noisebridge !

by April Glaser

Hi friends, I'm writing to let you all know about an un/conference at Noisebridge on June 29-30, Digital Rights in Libraries. You're all super invited, and we also have a call for volunteers (keep reading)! We've got some killer speakers lined up: https://libraryfreedomproject.org/digital-rights-in-libraries/digital-right… For more info, please check our our press release and poster that I've pasted below! Also, the Library Freedom Project has had some fun media lately (here <http://www.onthemedia.org/story/librarians-vs-patriot-act/?utm_source=local…> and here <http://www.thenation.com/article/206561/librarians-versus-nsa> and here <http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2015/06/03/usa_freedom_act_before_s…>), if you're curious. Additionally and importantly, we could use a few technology trainers to help with some of our open sandbox privacy tools sessions. We know a lot of librarians want to build some skills, and so in these sessions we were hoping to have ample technology trainers available to help participants learn as much as possible. The times we're looking for people to come by and help are: Monday, June 29 @ 2-3 Monday, June 29 @ 4-5 Tuesday, June 30 @ 2:30-3:30 Tuesday, June 30 @ 5:30-6:30 Let me know if you might be available or have any questions. Also let me know if you know someone else who might be interested. Or anything at all. Peace. And thanks a million. <3 Oakland. April --- DRiL *Librarians Convene With Leading Anti-Surveillance Advocates and Technologists In San Francisco to Defend Digital Rights â June 29-30, 2015* Librarians, technologists, and privacy activists and are gathering in San Francisco on June 29-30 to strategize about initiatives to protect reader privacy, reform digital lending, combat censorship, and champion access to information technology in light of emerging concerns over government surveillance, censorship, and other forms of electronic exploitation of personal data. The two-day event <https://libraryfreedomproject.org/digital-rights-in-libraries/digital-right…>, which will take place at San Francisco's iconic Noisebridge hackerspace, falls directly after the American Library Association's Annual Conference; it's also being held in San Francisco this year. Attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who are leading lawsuits challenging the legality of the National Security Agency's mass surveillance programs, will present, along with experts on copyright and the future of digital lending from Creative Commons and the Internet Archive. Technologists from the Freedom of the Press Foundation (where Edward Snowden is a board member) and Mozilla will be onsite providing in-depth technology training at the hackerspace. The event also features librarians from a number of libraries, including the San Francisco and Oakland Public Library systems, as well as Oakland-based Hack the Hood, speaking on the challenges of providing access to technology and training for Bay Area youth. Librarians have long been working on the front lines of information activism and their communities' right to research. Whether by providing access to technology and the Internet, as well as free education, or by standing firm for over a decade as staunch opponents of the USA PATRIOT Act, librarians are at the grassroots of the Internet freedom debate and are uniquely plugged into serving the information needs of local communities, especially those that lack technological or financial resources. The conference is being organized by the Library Freedom Project, a recent grantee from the Knight Foundation that is a partnership among librarians, technologists, attorneys, and advocates to teach librarians about surveillance threats, digital rights, and privacy-protecting technology. The Nation Magazine recently featured <http://www.thenation.com/article/206561/librarians-versus-nsa> the work of the Library Freedom Project as a cover story.

Car towed by City/OPD

by lewis_black

Hi all, My car was recently towed in Oakland. I've come to terms with letting it go if I must, hence I do not have the funds nor desire to pay their exhorbitant fees for extrortion. My question is if anyone has gone through a similar situation in Oakland or California for that matter. Do you have any advice/best practices? While I'm not necessarily concerned with my credit, I am concerned with my ability to eventually drive a car legally and staying out of jail. Much love, -Luis M.

Don't leave valuables in your car!

by Patrik D'haeseleer

I regularly see broken windshield glass on the sidewalks in Temescal. Sounds like there are some thieves who systematically cruise the neighborhood looking for anything they can grab out of parked cars - check the eye witness report from one of our members below. Temescal is a relatively up-and-coming neighborhood in Oakland, but you really should not be leaving any valuables visible in your car *anywhere* in the Bay Area... I know the apartment building across the street had its security camera trained on the Omni for a while. If you experience a car break-in, there's a possibility the police may be able to use that tape to catch these A-holes. If you see anything suspicious (like in this case, a car driving up on the wrong side of the road checking out parked cars), make sure to jot down a license plate if you can... Patrik ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ken osborn <misterkenosborn(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Jun 7, 2015 at 11:04 PM Subject: Re: Any new pics from fungal microscopy meetup? To: Patrik D'haeseleer <patrikd(a)gmail.com> Hi Patrik - I went to the meetup and even brought a microscope, but as I was unloading my car another drove up on the wrong side of the road and opposite the car parked in front of me. Then what happened next was hard to believe, but I then witnessed a smash-and-grab. It happened very fast and was more than a bit confusion because at the same time that was happening I was on the cell with my daughter and another call came in just as the car drove up so I was paying attention completely until I heard the sound of a window breaking, almost like a gun shot. I did not leave immediately but went into the meetup interrupting Alan to let folks know that they should make sure if they drove to the meetup and left anything visible inside their car they should move it so it was not visible. What I saw clearly demonstrated that these guys cruise looking for something they can grab rapidly. They also are very brazen. This was in broad daylight and I don't think they could have missed seeing me while I was on the phone. While I was not about to put myself in harm's way to stop them I did attempt to get the license number but by the time I got to the street they were too far away for me to read the plate. I'm not sure if there is a solution to this as a potential problem for attendance, but I may be taking BART in the future. The problem with that is my wife freaked and said it would be better to have the care damaged than her husband walking alone at night in that part of town. Maybe. The other possibility is to talk to the Oakland PD and see if they would have a patrol car in the area on a regular basis. I have seen lots of broken glass in the street and now recognize it as car break-ins that must be taking place more than occasionally. - Ken On Sun, Jun 7, 2015 at 3:04 PM, Patrik D'haeseleer <patrikd(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > How was the fungal microscopy meetup yesterday?

Re: [sudo-discuss] seeking 26-pin gpio cable for Pi Model B

by Jake

> Anyone got a spare 26-pin cable I could give you $ for? Need one for > use with an extension board. Thanks. you can use a ribbon cable for an IDE/PATA hard drive, or a floppy disk drive, they have more than enough pins. if there are too many pins you can just hacksaw off the extras. Just don't cut too close to the last row you need - leave an extra full row just to be safe. And then glue the cut end of the ribbon cable clip so it doesn't pull off when you forget you cut it.

one-time donations via Stripe on sudoroom.org

by Jake

does anyone know how to edit the Support Us! thing on the left side of http://sudoroom.org ? i want to add support for a one-time donation through stripe. I am told it is something like this: https://stripe.com/blog/stripe-checkout of course it would need to be a locked link, so nobody can change it and redirect donations toward themselves.. and I don't know how access control works. I also don't know anything about how to actually install this function or any function into a webpage. I have no idea what i'm doing. does anyone reading this list know how to set up one-time donations on our webpage? Can we do that now? Is there anything i can do to help? thank you! -jake
