Hey Sudo Room, I hear that Hardware Hack Night is this Tuesday, 7-9pm. I want to invite anyone interested to come down to the basement and join us in hacking on CCL's large liquid handling robot.[image: IMG_20170705_232100946.jpg] There are lots of neat projects we could use help with, like: - Wiring and programming Arduinos to run lab equipment - Figuring out how OpenPCR <https://openpcr.org/>units are supposed to work and how we can control them remotely - Making stepper motors open and close a freezer door - General thinking about cool things we could do with this robot Conveniently, we're in the basement from 7-9pm every other Tuesday (including this Tuesday, 10/23). Drop in! -Tim

Open Insulin Website Redesign - Volunteers Needed

by ramy kim

Hi Sudo & CCL members, Open Insulin <http://openinsulin.org/> is in *dire* need of a website redesign. It’s been pretty basic, but we’re looking to do more with it: post regular science updates & blog entries, provide solid information on how to contribute, and include more resources for further research. Anthony can do the coding, but it would super sweet if anyone ++ wants to step up to take creative direction on this. It is a great way to be a part of this project, even if you don’t have lab skills (at the moment). I would have loved to help take this on, but counterculturelabs.org <https://www.counterculturelabs.org/> also so badly needs an overhaul so I’ll be focusing my efforts there for now. If you are interested, ping me directly please and I’ll get you started! Also, join us any Wednesday @6pm at CCL if you want to be looped into what we’ve been up to. Love & robots, Ramy

Lsser cutter.... Dead?

by Morgan Allen

Trying to get through a project but the laser isn't behaving. Stalls during a cut (with laser on of course) but manages tp start back up a dozen times before just stopping and burning a hole in the piece. Tried 4 or 5 usb cables with varying results but still couldn't get a complete cut

Re: [sudo-discuss] New OpenTrons OT-2 in Sudo/CCL!

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi Keoni - do you have any pipettes for the OT-2? We installed it right on the boundary between CCL and Sudo for now. Once we start doing real experiments, we should move it into the wetlab though. We also happen to have a Biometra TRobot, which is essentially a thermocycler with an automated lid, so it can be easily incorporated into a liquid handling robot. That should give us an ideal platform for PCR applications on the Opentrons... DNA barcoding of mushroom species is probably our #1 killer app for this robot. When Alan Rockefeller comes back from his current outing throughout Mexico, he will likely bring several hundred mushroom samples with him, all of which will need to be submitted to PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing. Alan usually mashes each sample with a little plastic pestle in an Eppendorf tube - not sure how to replicate that on the robot, but we could brainstorm a little device to macerate mushroom samples...
