personally i think we should accept those parts, but we've been getting rid of
a lot of unnecessary stuff from sudoroom recently (well mostly not me doing it)
so anything that we get from them that doesn't belong in sudoroom will get
recycled if nobody else wants it.  I will say that the last stuff we got from
them seems to be pretty decently useful, most of it, so that's a good sign.

I don't think we want the carousels though, they seem like the kind of thing
you use in a factory where you have plenty of space and need random access
fast, whereas we are only going to survive in sudoroom if we can store stuff
densely and compensate by keeping good records of where stuff is parked.

By the way - I may be able to get a bunch more surface mount components,
from the same lab from which I brought over several boxes full of spools
before. I assume we want those?

BioCurious had originally called dibs on two giant 6ft tall 4-sided
carousels of electronic parts that included a bunch of trays with SMD
parts. But now they're just taking up space in their new lab, and they want
to shrink down a bit. We may even be able to get an entire parts carousel.

OK i renamed the repository to pos2charmhigh to match the true name
so the new link is:

https://github.com/sudoroom/pos2charmhigh/

Miloh was doing some work on the machine earlier tonight, but he's into
using
GEDA not KiCAD, but i'm sure his contributions will lift all boats.

you can push to:
git@github.com:sudoroom/pos2charmhigh.git

thank you

there was a rational behind calling the repo pcb2... but... dunno

Anyhow, pos2... is for the fact the KiCad outputs .pos (position) files.

Feel free to collaborate where ever, hopefully no one forces you to sign
up
for GitHub.

As for future updates, I can push where ever is most useful.

Morgan, i am confused, what's the difference between pcb2charmhigh and

pos2charmhigh?

I have pcb2charmhigh which i got from github here:
https://gitlab.com/morganrallen/pcb2charmhigh.git/

i can't find the source to pos2charmhigh because gitlab doesn't seem to
allow
me to view the source, if it's even there, without creating a login...
which I
don't want to do, partially because they're trying to force me to.

Anyway, I forked pcb2charmhigh to a sudoroom repository here:
https://github.com/sudoroom/pcb2charmhigh

so that I and Miloh and others can collaborate on it.

Will you be updating the pcb2charmhigh repo on gitlab?  At least I can
pull from there.

thank you,
-jake

I worked on a thing today.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/pos2charmhigh

(roughly) converts KiCAD .pos files to something that resembles the
Charmhigh CSV file. I haven't tested the output yet.

Jake, when you did your first test run did you run into any issues with
negative X/Y coords? When I was trying to set a component local [ 0, 0 ]
was about 1.5" right of the actual components. I could jog it into place
once with no problem. Then I'd get an error about a negative position. I
might make it back later tonight to do some more testing.

last night i programmed the pick&place machine to place a capacitor

from
material slot 3 onto this board, rotating 90 degrees in the process,
and
placing it perfectly.

here's the video:

anyway, i made the machine save the program to a .csv file which it
named
new1.csv and then i copied it and inserted comments for us to
discuss,
each
delineated by a # sign.  Note that I do not expect the machine to
allow
comments in .csv files it's given, but i wanted to show where my
comments
were.

I don't know what the upper-ASCII encoding is, but it's surely
chinese,
so
if
anyone can figure out how to convert and translate it that might
help
us.
Also
the manual is in Chinese so lets translate that too.

the original manual is in Chinese in a .rar file, although there

to be
a
.PDF version of it in english, are they the same?

anyway here's the files:

of course the next step is to add more steps to the program at the
machine,
and
tell it to make multiple boards, so that we can suss out what those
other
lines
are for.  although to be honest i haven't read the manual yet and
maybe
it's
all explained in there.
