Anyone want to participate in a read aloud of One Hundred Years of Solitude? Readers would alternate chapters over a couple days, although just listeners are welcome. The book is amazing! My schedule is open Tue and Wed. Rock

Re: [sudo-discuss] Sudouino328 PCB Design

by Hol Gaskill

Hey Jake, No FTDI chip onboard for this one, just shown on the attachment to help lay out the connections which are 6-pin TTL serial. I'd like to keep everything through-hole for the first sudouino so it can work as a kit for newbies, and since I personally don't even know how to SMD solder, all the work done on it so far assumes no SMD components. I remember encouraging you a few weeks ago to take the lead for the sudouino 2 board around the ATMega32U4 as you've suggested using this chip … [View More]previously. I think there are many cool things that can be done with it, so I look forward to seeing what you come up with to accompany that chip. In the meantime I'll continue work with the 328p as planned in order to bring this board online as soon as possible. As far as connectors, I probably won't use any myself and I think we should sell some boards without them. I do agree with Steve on having an option for screw terminals for the switched loads, and either a screw terminal or a barrel jack for DC power input to the board. Whatever we think would be the most popular, I'll space the holes accordingly so the PCB design will accommodate either way. So it looks like we're up to 8+ different packages based on 3 different choices - 3,3V / 5V, kit / pre-assembled, bare holes / terminals. What kind of connectors would the most people use for power in and out?

Sudouino328 PCB Design

by Hol Gaskill

Hi Folks, Almost done w/ PCB design. That's an ATMega328p processor and a ULN2003 for power output up to 3.5 amps out of the box. Still need to add some connectors for I2C and 12V, 5V. I usually use SAE connectors http://www.vetco.net/catalog/images/G-QD-10-2.jpg for my 12V loads but we could solder on a barrel jack, or just ship it with holes for DIY soldering of connectors. Suggestions? Cheers, Hol

sudoroom 3D printer back online!

by Jake

last night I replaced the hotend on the sudoroom type-a-machine 3d printer. after that i spent a bit of time attempting to print and kept running into problems, which i'll list. it seems that some of the PLA we have that came from type A machines is clearly labeled to be printed at 190-220 degrees! I have always used 185, but i guess this is a new formula. When i set it to 205 it still seemed too cold, so i ended up using 220. You should set the temperature in the slic3r before you … [View More]

sudoroom mailinglist just for printers!

by Jake

Sudoroom has so many printers, it's hard to keep track! 2D printers, 3D printers, label printers, and even screenprinters! there's some sort of weird flyer-duplicating machine that makes only green ink but is really cheap to use, there's that new fancy COLOR laser printer... so here is a new list, sudo-prints(a)lists.sudoroom.org if you know how to use one of the printers at sudoroom, including the CNC machine (hey it can print in wood) please subscribe to this list! then we can put … [View More]

Re: [sudo-discuss] Sudouino328 PCB Design

by Jake

Hi Hol, I have lots of opinions and advice about this design, but i would like more info about the state of the project first. For example i am curious whether this thing will have a USB port or use the 6-pin serial header like a Boarduino. I have a bunch of Atmega32U4 chips that you can use for this project. True that they are surfacemount but it's not harder to do than through-hole, in fact it can be much easier even for newbies. I have syringes of solder paste, although it can be … [View More]

Fwd: hackerspace burn-out

by Chris Bee

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Chris Bee <hotelcompany(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Dec 22, 2013 at 12:03 AM Subject: Re: [sudo-discuss] hackerspace burn-out To: Romy Snowyla <romy(a)snowyla.com> I agree with everything on that list, and speaking for myself I think I deal with those issues well enough...I'm pretty good at compartmentalization, and can recognize when the issue lies within me and not assign blame or heat where it's neither needed nor warranted. But... I'… [View More]d like to add "failure to grasp or acknowledge the DIY aspect of hackerspaces." This is directed towards people (NOT sudoers) who seem to regard sudo as a go-to for broken shit that they have no intention of fixing themselves...I don't mind helping people as long as a) they want to be involved with the process of getting their gear working again and b) don't expect me to put whatever I'm doing at the moment on hold to give them my undivided attention. This has probably happened to all of us at one point or another...I'm getting better at setting boundaries but sometimes I feel like I have to be short with people who I really don't want to alienate but who simply aren't going to get the message any other way. One thing I've started doing is wearing a large pair of headphones, which is a cue I picked up from juul....if that doesn't send a clear signal that "I'm here temporally but somewhere else psychically" then I figure it's okay for me to let whoever is trying to drag me into their project what's really going on. -chrisbee On Tue, Dec 17, 2013 at 5:30 PM, Romy Snowyla <romy(a)snowyla.com> wrote: > Unrealistic expectations > One bad evening improperly distorting perception of hackerspace as a whole > Lack of sleep > Unrealistic understanding of basic human social dynamics > Personal conflicts > > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Dec 17, 2013, at 2:23 PM, Craig Rouskey <craigrouskey(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > What are the causes of burnout? > > > On Tue, Dec 17, 2013 at 2:08 PM, Romy Ilano <romy(a)snowyla.com> wrote: > >> we all go through cycles of hackerspace burn out. >> >> would it be nice to have a 2 minute therapy session on dealing with it? >> my hackerspace burn out cycles follow my life.

New sudoroom t shirt test (color from on demand start up zazzle)

by Romy Snowyla

Hi I got the new test sudoroom zazzle shirt. It was about $24 Advantages Looks nice People can choose the exact color fit and style - huge problem for small people like me since most shirts are too big Fast! I got this up and printed in a week with minimal time and effort I didn't have to put any up front costs and I'm broke so that's nice We don't have to deal with shipping or inventory Disadvantages Very small profit for sudoroom : we'd make $2-3 a shirt Tied to a commercial … [View More]
