Calling all hardware startups: Sheet Acrylic Manufacturing Workshop

by Ruth Grace Wong

Hi Everyone, There are still spots open for my acrylic manufacturing class at Noisebridge this weekend. This 3 hour workshop will cover manufacturing with acrylic sheets--the best alternative to 3d printing and injection molded enclosures. If you are a startup and don't have the capital or the volumes to justify expensive plastic molds, manufacturing out of sheet acrylic might be the answer for you. Myself (Ruth) and Rik are running a sheet acrylic manufacturing workshop. We make the whole process accessible, from teaching joints/cutting/bending to sharing local prototyping contacts and hosting a 30 minute Q&A with a Chinese contract manufacturer. The workshop is from 9:30AM to 12:30PM on May 5th at the Noisebridge Hackerspace, and costs $75: http://meetu.ps/e/F8KDG/qrLmq/d Feel free to contact me at ruthgracewong(a)gmail.com if you have any questions Best, Ruth

Release Arduino Blockly IDE

by Noah Glaser

Hello, I just released my Arduino Blockly IDE; it allows people to create Arduino Code by dragging and dropping blocks onto the screen. It works on windows, mac, and Linux. Right now windows will try to block it because I don't have enough reputation with the certificate I bought. I am looking for people to test it out and give me some feedback. instructions <http://oaklandcodeschool.org/arduino-blockly-ide-setup/> windows <https://github.com/phptuts/ArduinoBlocklyIDE/releases/download/v1.0.14/Ardu…> mac <https://github.com/phptuts/ArduinoBlocklyIDE/releases/download/v1.0.14/Ardu…> linux <https://github.com/phptuts/ArduinoBlocklyIDE/releases/download/v1.0.14/Ardu…> I have a small demo of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nv_PJeeYhI If you are interested in the code you find it here: https://github.com/phptuts/ArduinoBlocklyIDE Thank you, and I hope everyone is doing well.

by Jenny Ryan

Greetings Omninoms! Thanks to DK, we have our annual fire inspection scheduled for this Tuesday at 2:30pm with Inspector Garrett. To prep: * All rooms must be unlocked or unlockable, which means we'll need key access to Liberated Lens, the CCL closets, and the TIL office - can copies of those keys be made and put on the master keyring in secure storage? * Ballroom must be cleared of tables and chairs, mezzanine of stray books * Extension cables disconnected and pathways clear * All hallways cleared of stuff and at least 3' clearance in front of any electrical panels * All storage areas cleaned up a bit and flammable materials put away (mesh in sudo; phat beets, ABDC, Village, CCL in basement) Also, I'll try to be there on Tuesday but lmk if you can help prep the building Monday afternoon/evening or Tuesday AM. <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.

Aggressive/rude Disco Room occupants on Monday evenings

by Jenny Ryan

Omni's booking working group was just informed by a longtime renter of repeated rude and aggressive behavior from people occupying the Disco Room some of the past Monday evenings, when it is booked for their dance rehearsals, as well as repeated interruptions. Since sudoers are among the most regular inhabitants of the building, I'm writing the list to ask if anyone knows who these people might be and to inquire if there's been any "territorialization" of the Disco Room over the past month or two. Please reply off-list and/or speak to these people directly about respectful use of the commons (use of which should also be scheduled via the Commons Working Group, even if you're a member of a collective). <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.

diaster.radio modulation scheme tests

by Adam

Hi all, I ran some tests on LORA modulation schemes to get the best results I could on a 100mW TX power budget. I nearly ran out of gas during this latest test, and unfortunately I managed to screw up my data logging, so I don't have RSSI or SNR data, but this map contains all the places I stopped and got a two way signal on my jet ski. The transmitter was in my hand, the receiver was at pier 50, SF. DIY half wave dipoles were used, with a center freq of 900MHz with a +/- 100MHz 3db roll off. https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1dE2QZS9cgX_oHLWyzmUNAYrjlbX0wJp… I found that quarter wave antennas are no good (see the red markers). The blue markers are today's test, using RFM95's from HopeRF. To get the very long range, I used the following modulation scheme using the RadioHead library. RH_RF95::ModemConfig modem_config = { /*Reg 0x1D: BW=125kHz, Coding=4/8, Header=explicit*/ (7 << 4) | (4 << 1) | (0), /*Reg 0x1E: Spread=4096chips/symbol, CRC=enable*/ (12 << 4) | (1 << 2), /*Reg 0x26: LowDataRate=On, Agc=On*/ (1 << 3) | (1 << 2) }; RF95.setModemRegisters(&modem_config); In other news, you can still jet ski if your core body temp is 88F. Little unpleasant though. - - - - Begin automatically generated footer - - - - I seek to understand, and aim to create.
