Hmm, this seems like a good way to get around Paypal fees, no?

Hi!
I wonder, I have not found you among possible recipients of PayPal
Giving Fund:
https://www.paypal.com/givingfund/
I think it would be great because then I could …
[View More]donate to you using
PayPal, and 100% of donations would go to you.

i don't see any legitimate grounds for blocking.
i'm still confused a bit how a for-profit startup's office space rental is
a tax exempt donation but there are a great number of mysteries in the
universe & i'm ok w/that.

yesterday we received a donation of a box of cool hacking gear, including
arduino shields and servo motors and breadboards and stuff.
among the stuff was a Gabotronics XMEGA Xprotolab, a tiny oscilloscope
with a lot of functions!!!!! it's the coolest thing ever.
http://www.gabotronics.com/development-boards/xmega-xprotolab.htm
it's presently hanging on the electronics workbench in its bag, and the
bag has a stuff.sudo sticker on it that links to
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/O:305
I look …
[View More]forward to putting these things in the vending machine.
Is anyone going to work on a web app for the vending machine, so people
can pay for things coming out of it?

we got a giant laser for the robot. This will allow it to cut things
precisely for us, even if they're really large.
of course to do this we'll have a safety interlock to prevent use by
untrained people, and we'll have a safety curtain or folding wall to
deploy around the robot while the laser is enabled, so nobody can
accidentally see the light coming from it.
I don't know the wavelength of the laser, but it's a giant laser diode
array with a lens on the end, and it has a water cooling …
[View More]jacket, and i
think i was told it's a 75 watt laser. we do have a way to power it.
if anyone wants to get involved with playing with this, please let me
know. I think we could get it to the point where it could cut through
some serious stuff, and the extremely large work area of the robot is a
big deal.

as I said in February, the vending machine is basically at operational
status:
https://sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/2016-February/011770.html
and as I said in April, I now know how we will perfect the motor homing
issue:
https://sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/2016-April/011894.html
but for now, it works well enough that I was able to dispense one of the
candy bars in the machine without cheating and opening up the machine.
I didn't even need to power cycle it, the beaglebone …
[View More]in there was just up
and working already!
thanks to rcsheets who stocked the vending machine with delicious candy
bars! products 1030, 1031, and 1032 by the way
let me know if you want to help get the vending machine working better.
we need simple hardware work, complex hardware work, and software work!

I am getting really interested in this rapidly expanding field that crosses
between many different disciplines. Specifically, for me, I am interested
in the intersection of electric fields and textile fiber creation and just
general structural emergent properties.
Wondering if there are others on the list that might find this area
interesting and want to work on making a diy electrospinner?

Hello all,
I've been meaning to try to come to Sudo Room and hang out and see what
kinds of stuff are going on for a while now, and finally have some more
free time to do so. Is there a good time y'all would recommend I come to
be able to meet folks, see what's up, etc? (I saw that last month there
were some informal "Hacker Happy Hour" things, but seems like those aren't
on any more)
Cheers
Rohit
