<div>[[User:Judytuna]] has a Jibo "family social robot" from an Indiegogo campaign in like 2014. It was a cool concept before Siri and Alexa were available. The company behind Jibo shut down and the servers are gone. Let's spoof the API calls that Jibo makes and try to get it to answer us. <br />
<br />
What Jibo can do now, local-only<br />
* dance & twerk. it has a cute butt.<br />
* tell a few jokes <br />
<br />
== What I want Jibo to do == <br />
<br />
* look stuff up on the internet <br />
* math<br />
* Sudo Room calendar<br />
* be a photobooth<br />
* control smart lights<br />
* call my VoIP phone<br />
* unlock the Sudo Room door <br />
<br />
What Jibo used to do<br />
* recognize your family members' faces<br />
* listen for a "hey jibo" wake word, then listen for a query<br />

== Equipment == <br />
<br />
We have a common light projector to be shared by all named Homer<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Sanyo the Magic Turtle ===<br />
<br />
We have a massively huge Sanyo projector with 14,000 lumens! <br />
<br />
[[File:Sanyo the Magic turtle .jpg|thumb]]<br />
<br />
It's a Sanyo Model # PLC-XF46N<br />
Chassis # KF6-XF46N01<br />
<br />
Here are his stats: https://www.projectorcentral.com/Sanyo-PLC-XF46N.htm<br />
<br />
The bulbs all work and it's relatively non problematic to hook up he usb-c to the VGA<br />
<br />
* 12,000 ANSI Lumens <-- this is bright enough to light up a screen in daylight baby!<br />
<br />
=== Fabian the Silver Screen ===<br />
<br />
We have a silver screen that's great for projections named Fabian. According to Jake, Fabian is completely capable of receiving projections for 3D movies! Quite exciting. Fabian is usually folded up in a tripod in the upper loft of SudoRoom<br />
<br />

=== Homer the light projector ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Homer.jpg|thumb]]<br />
<br />
Homer is a purple Benq PB8220 - in time we will be decorating him with a face, but he's still growing into his role. He comes in a carrying case and isn't bolted into place anywhere.<br />
<br />
While Homer doesn't have any HDMI outlets, we do have an S-Video to HDMI connector so we can connect him to anything that works with HDMI (USB-C and lightning for example)<br />

|-<br />
! Thing !! What is the thing !! Comment<br />
|-<br />
| Brightness || 2,200 Lumens || So bright it can be projected against the sudoroom ceiling with all the lights on!<br />
|-<br />
| Resolution || 1024x768 || Works for me!<br />
|-<br />
| DLP Technology || Less visible pixels more portability! || Confused - if it's DLP doesn't that mean we don't have to focus? there are focus knobs on it though<br />
|-<br />
| Energy || 330 Volts || If we're going to plug homer into the wall we need a battery that goes up to 330 Volts<br />
|-<br />
| Connectors || HDMI -> S Video || I just ordered an HDMI -> S-Video but that's going to be what Homer needs!<br />

<br />
''The BenQ PB8220 Projector is a XGA Portable Projector. This lamp based projector is capable of displaying 2,200 Lumens at its brightest setting with a native resolution of 1024x768 . The internal DLP technology touts higher contrast, less visible pixels and more portability. This projector was first available for purchase in April 2003 and has been discontinued by BenQ.<br />

<br />
=== What is Women and Non Binary Hack Night? ===<br />
<br />
"Coding Owls" is a weekly event for gender minorities in tech (women, nonbinary, trans, and gender non-conforming people) to discuss and work on projects together. Bring your computer and a coding project and have fun!<br />
<br />
The event takes place at Sudo Room, a creative community and hackerspace at Omni Commons.<br />
<br />
The Sudo Room, a creative community and hackerspace at Omni Commons, invites all Women/NB people for “Coding Owls – A WNB Coding Night”: bring your computer and a coding project and have fun! <br />
<br />
We can help each other if you have coding related questions/bugs or just keep company while hacking! If you are a beginner, we can help you get started (even if you’ve never coded before!). And if you’re an intermediate programmer looking for a challenge, we can help you find problems to work on. <br />
<br />
No computer? No problem: we can provide one for the night. Coders of all abilities are welcome! <br />
<br />
All coding languages are welcome! Bringing a WNB friend is highly recommended. <br />
<br />
Coding is more fun with friends! Join in person if you’re in Oakland or online anywhere else in the world!<br />
<br />
The idea is also to be a s'''afe space for WNB in the tech world''', besides promoting empowerment, also to provide emotional support for those facing challenges in a work environment, tech job search or anything else related.<br />
<br />
== Path to Freedom ==<br />
<br />
We are creating some “pathways” to freedom for women at the space.<br />
typically women tend to get sucked into the predictable buckets at tech and hackerspaces - the den mom who organizes meetings, takes notes and provides emotional support. The crafting circle that doesn’t touch on the fine arts or larger ideas. The education section that only focuses on caretaking of kids, doing chores and doesn’t explore larger ideas such as the theory of the mind or educational academic papers. <br />
<br />
While everyone is welcome to explore what we want, we’d like to “jam” the default channels that automatically send women into caretaking roles, mindless administration, and instead of provoke them to use their minds in new ways!<br />
<br />
The first 3 pathways would be:<br />
<br />
- '''Women Audio Engineering path to Freedom''' - women tend to be restricted to singing and dancing in electronic music and beyond, with very little visibility in audio engineering and DJing. What would happen if we create a path to freedom where they get to explore?<br />
<br />
- '''Women theory of the mind''' - If you get into education are you automatically getting channeled into roles around childcare of children’s education? Why not work further and instead explore academics and educational theory?<br />
<br />
Instead of being pushed into teaching kids, maybe women can study [[LearningtToLearn]] - why should women be routed into mindless childcare when instead they might be inclined to do things more cerebral?<br />
<br />
- '''Women in the Fine Arts''' - There is a wealth of women’s crafts, but what if women could go to hackerspaces and go beyond sewing, knitting and crafting and also explore color theory, abstraction and conceptual art? Why stay hedged into one area just because traditional and social pressure demands it? We can also introduce reading art theory papers and visiting museums.<br />

All coding languages are welcome! Bringing a WNB friend is highly recommended. <br />
<br />
Coding is more fun with friends! Join in person if you’re in Oakland or online anywhere else in the world!<br />
<br />
The idea is also to be a s'''afe space for WNB in the tech world''', besides promoting empowerment, also to provide emotional support for those facing challenges in a work environment, tech job search or anything else related.<br />
<br />
== Path to Freedom ==<br />
<br />
We are creating some “pathways” to freedom for women at the space.<br />
typically women tend to get sucked into the predictable buckets at tech and hackerspaces - the den mom who organizes meetings, takes notes and provides emotional support. The crafting circle that doesn’t touch on the fine arts or larger ideas. The education section that only focuses on caretaking of kids, doing chores and doesn’t explore larger ideas such as the theory of the mind or educational academic papers. <br />
<br />
While everyone is welcome to explore what we want, we’d like to “jam” the default channels that automatically send women into caretaking roles, mindless administration, and instead of provoke them to use their minds in new ways!<br />
<br />
The first 3 pathways would be:<br />
<br />
- Women Audio Engineering path to Freedom - women tend to be restricted to singing and dancing in electronic music and beyond, with very little visibility in audio engineering and DJing. What would happen if we create a path to freedom where they get to explore?<br />
- Women theory of the mind - If you get into education are you automatically getting channeled into roles around childcare of children’s education? Why not work further and instead explore academics and educational theory?<br />
- Women in the Fine Arts - There is a wealth of women’s crafts, but what if women could go to hackerspaces and go beyond sewing, knitting and crafting and also explore color theory, abstraction and conceptual art? Why stay hedged into one area just because traditional and social pressure demands it? We can also introduce reading art theory papers and visiting museums.<br />

=== What is Women and Non Binary Hack Night? ===<br />
<br />
"Coding Owls" is a weekly event for gender minorities in tech (women, nonbinary, trans, and gender non-conforming people) to discuss and work on projects together. Bring your computer and a coding project and have fun!<br />
<br />
The event takes place at Sudo Room, a creative community and hackerspace at Omni Commons.<br />
<br />
The Sudo Room, a creative community and hackerspace at Omni Commons, invites all Women/NB people for “Coding Owls – A WNB Coding Night”: bring your computer and a coding project and have fun! <br />
<br />
We can help each other if you have coding related questions/bugs or just keep company while hacking! If you are a beginner, we can help you get started (even if you’ve never coded before!). And if you’re an intermediate programmer looking for a challenge, we can help you find problems to work on. <br />
<br />
No computer? No problem: we can provide one for the night. Coders of all abilities are welcome! <br />

<div>This is the vending machine!<br />
<br />
= Idea =<br />
<br />
We want to sell all kinds of hackery things from a vending machine in our hacker space! 3D printed objects, usb sticks, mate straws (and mate), caffeinated snacks, arduinos, mesh routers, logic analyzers, lyophilized DNA (biohacking), dogecoins, ear plugs, headphones, batteries, etc! See the [http://hackpack.me hackpack project] for more inspiration. <br />
Also paper zines, handmade books, and women's clothes with pockets and non sexist swimwear!<br />
<br />
= Status =<br />
<br />
== January 2023 ==<br />
<br />
There's interest in the vending machine again! Let's get this party started. There has been activity in-between now and 2016 but that is lost.<br />
<br />
* Getting the machine plugged in and connected to the internet again *DONE*<br />
* Have people learn electronics and make a learn about vending machines<br />
* Repaint the vending machine, maybe in brighter colors! and make its magnetic sides decorated with news and arts<br />
* Stock it up with cool hackery from various members but augment the electronic stuff with paper zines, non sexist women's swimwear, and stuffed animals<br />
<br />
== March 2016 ==<br />
<br />
[[File:IMG 1426.JPG|thumbnail|The black vending machine (a.k.a. vending1) is nearly ready to use (Mar. 2016)]]<br />
<br />
There are currently two vending machines, one of which is ready to dispense product (as of March 2016).<br />
<br />
Still needed:<br />
* Product to dispense<br />
* A lock for the door<br />
* Something to direct the light from the fluorescent bulb so that it more clearly shows the product, rather than shining into the eyes of innocent bystanders<br />
* A user interface<br />
** some way to select a product<br />
** a mechanism for providing payment<br />
* A better place to put the trash and recycling bins that are currently blocking the front of the machine<br />
* perhaps "soup bowl" coils for dispensing larger items like soylent packs https://snackattack.sharepoint.com/Pages/APSNACKMACHINEPARTS.aspx<br />
<br />

<br />
= Funding =<br />
<br />
The vending machine was initially funded by a sudo member stating on the mailing list that he wanted to get a vending machine, stating that they cost about $200, linking to one on craiglist, the member saying he'd put down $20 himself and asking if others would put down $20. After a few days, $120 of the cost had been covered and we figured the vending machine could cover the rest of its own cost going forward. The big robot arm was funded in the same way.<br />

== Vending machine ==<br />
<br />
We found a used Snackshop II vending machine on craigslist and offered $150. This is the kind of machine that has a bunch of metal spirals / huge corkscrews that hold the snacks. These types of machines are good because it's easy to put differently sized non-snack items in them and they're cheap. We're planning to replace its brain with a Beagle Bone Black.<br />
<br />
[[File:Snackshop II.JPG|thumb|Snackshop II vending machine before being converted to the sudo room hack-o-mat]]<br />
<br />
== Bill acceptor ==<br />
<br />
The vending machine was working except for a broken bill acceptor and broken coin acceptor. They can likely be fixed but the bill acceptor only takes $1, $2 and $5 bills and doesn't take the new $5 bills. <br />
<br />
We bought:<br />
<br />
A [http://www.ebay.com/itm/ICT-BL-700-USD4-US-Currency-Bill-Acceptor-Validator-used-/191139883132?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c80d3287c ICT BL-700-USD4] bill acceptor that takes $1, old $5, $10 and $20 bills for $49 including shipping and an [http://www.ebay.com/itm/ICT-700-BL-BILL-ACCEPTOR-UPDATE-FOR-NEW-5-THE-CHIP-TO-UPDATE-/221294809358?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item338632d10e updated chip] that allows for $21 that allows the bill acceptor to take the new $5 bills.<br />
<br />
== Coin acceptor/dispenser ==<br />
<br />
The built-in coin acceptor/dispenser does the following:<br />
<br />
*Accepts 5c, 10c and 25c coins (broken)<br />
*Sorts the incoming coins into the change dispenser (nearly working, easy to fix)<br />
*Detects when there are too few or too many coins in the dispenser.<br />
*Redirects coins when there are too many in the dispenser<br />
*Dispenses 5c, 10c and 25c coins (nearly working, easy to fix)<br />
<br />
The sorting mechanism needs to be modified so it always accepts what it gets, which should be as simple as locking the two solenoids in one position. The detection circuit needs more investigation and the nickel dispenser seems to be broken but we'll probably just control the solenoids directly anyway. Another option is to use a "sorting coin bank" and modify it for our needs. These are cheap at about $25 on ebay and include slots for dollar coins!<br />
<br />
Since it looked unlikely that we'd be able to repair the acceptor part of the built-in acceptor/dispenser, we bought a coin acceptor [http://www.ebay.com/itm/250772291798?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 for $28 including shipping on ebay]. Since that's an ebay link it may be gone when you read this, but it's the same as [https://www.adafruit.com/products/787 this one from adafruit] except that the one we got can be programmed to recognize up to five different types of coins. <br />
<br />
We will program it to accept these coins:<br />
<br />
*1 cent (yesss!)<br />
*5 cent<br />
*10 cent<br />
*25 cent<br />
*1 dollar<br />
<br />
We didn't just get a new acceptor/dispenser of the same general type because the cheap/old models are inflexible, only accepting nickels, dimes and quarters, and if you want support for $1 coins then the pricing seems to begin at $200 for a used model.<br />
<br />
== $1 coin dispenser ==<br />
<br />
Since we'll be accepting up to $20 bills, we will need better change than quarters. Unfortunately bill dispenser are expensive and you have to buy them used as ATM spare parts on ebay usually with little info on whether they're complete and functional. Another option is to buy a complete ATM of the type that doesn't support 3DES (now a requirement) or not compliant with the latest ADA regulations. We found two of non 3DES ATMs for $100 each on craigslist, and the bill dispenser could probably be hacked fairly easily (the rest of the electronics are likely encased in a large chunk of epoxy). However it was $100 and a two-hour drive both ways, just so we can dispense one type of bill.<br />
<br />
Instead we could try 3D printing a dollar coin dispenser. It would be the same design as the built-in machine uses with a tube for the coins and a slot with a solenoid that pushes the bottom coin out the side of the tube on command. Should be pretty simple.<br />
<br />
Another option is to use a motorized "sorting coin bank" from ebay and modify it to add solenoids and level detection.<br />
<br />
== Bitcoin / altcoin acceptor ==<br />
<br />
The vending machine will be networked and will monitor its bitcoin/altcoin addresses for incoming money. <br />
<br />
== sudo credit ==<br />
<br />
Eventually your sudo room magnetic/rfid membership card + pin will allow you to buy stuff.<br />
<br />
== Brain, display and selection ==<br />
<br />
The original hardware was wired to use diodes on a board of switches, where the price was set for each product with five on/off switches, worth 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 cents. The user would press a button for the product they wanted. Since we don't want to use the buttons that way, we need to use triacs (electronic relays for AC) for each of the 40 product motors. We are designing a custom circuitboard to replace the binary coin-counter matrix with 40 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlieplexing charlieplexed] triacs:<br />
<br />
https://github.com/sudoroom/hackomat<br />
<br />
which uses these triacs:<br />
<br />
NOTE: the beaglebone black GPIO pins are only rated for 4 to 6mA per pin, which means it is essential to choose a triac with a guaranteed trigger current of 5mA such as the MOC3023 If you instead get a part with a 15mA guaranteed trigger, you may end up with customers who don't get their product even though they paid for it, on days when the temperature or phase of the moon is wrong. That would be really bad.<br />
<br />
ALSO: there are two physical versions of the through-hole part. One is "Dual-in-line" and the other is "Wide lead spacing". The former fits in the sockets on this board, at standard DIP width of 0.300" track width, while the "Wide lead spacing" would need to be bent to fit a normal socket, on this board. You don't want to be stuck bending 240 pins for this project because you bought the wrong part, do you?<br />
<br />
http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/239/MOC302-201763.pdf<br />
<br />
UPDATE: the above part doesn't flow enough current, and works to run a motor exactly one time before going up in smoke. I found more powerful 6-pin DIP optoisolated triacs at digikey years ago and bought them, but now i can't find them - in real life or on the digikey site. So we're searching again for parts that can take 2 or more amps when the motors start up.<br />
<br />
their inputs are basically LEDs, and they're totally isolated from the AC output. So we can charlieplex these 40 triacs to just seven GPIO pins from our controller, as long as it has three-state outputs.<br />
<br />
We'll be using a $65 Beagle Bone Black for the brain and a $39 android tablet from Fry's electronics with a web app loaded from the Beagle Bone for display and selection. We're planning to have videos of sudoers presenting each item and headphones so people watch, listen and understand what they're bying. We'll probably still hook up the original dispenser buttons, but that's secondary.<br />
<br />
One of the reasons for replacing the brain is that the original dispenser circuitboard has a max programmable price per item of $1.85, which conflicts with our desire to sell usb sticks out of the gum dispenser :) It will also make it easy for us to track how much money is spent on each type of item which means we can let other groups, like [https://counterculturelabs.org Counter Culture Labs] sell stuff out of our vending machine and track who should receive how much money without manually counting.<br />
<br />
we can even allow purchases online to dispense locally, so you can call your parents and have them buy you a beaglebone black from New Hampshire and the vending machine will shit it out for you while you're on the phone with them. Christmas is coming soon...</div>Romyilanohttps://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=ModularSynthezier&diff=12575ModularSynthezier2024-09-12T22:20:40Z<p>Romyilano: </p>

There is a [http://bluemic.com/icicle/ Blue Icicle] '''USB microphone''' (Inventory [http://space.local/view/16 ID 16]) in the audio production closet.<br />
<br />
FYI Some audio programs such as [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audacity] require plugging in the microphone before starting the program[http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=32759].<br />
<br />
= Amplifier and speakers =<br />
<br />
'''You can play [[Music|music from the file server]] while inside the space'''<br />
<br />
The amplifier and speakers were donated by Jehan. <br />
<br />
The amp is hooked up to the laptop on the shelf, which is the space server. Its hostname is hairball.local (using zeroconf, which should be default enabled on most gnu/linux and OS X machines, but not on windows).<br />
<br />
The space server is running a pulseaudio server which is announced using zeroconfig. <br />
<br />
== Streaming audio to the space server == <br />
<br />
In order to stream audio from your computer to space.local, you need to have pulseaudio installed. This is default in Ubuntu. You also need some way of switching between local sound output and network sound output.<br />
<br />
=== Command line method ===<br />
<br />
'''warning: ''' this hasn't been tested<br />
<br />
Open a new terminal and do:<br />
<br />
export PULSE_SERVER=tcp:space.local:4713<br />
<br />
Anything you play from applications launched from that terminal should then play through the space audio server.<br />
<br />
=== GUI method ===<br />
<br />
Check if padevchooser is available for your system:<br />
<br />
apt-cache search padevchooser<br />
<br />
If it is, then install it:<br />
<br />
sudo aptitude install padevchooser<br />
<br />
If not (it's not available on newer Ubuntu systems), then you can use pasystray. You need to add this PPA:<br />
<br />
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:christoph-gysin/pasystray<br />
sudo aptitude update<br />
sudo aptitude install pasystray<br />
<br />
If you're using Unity (default in Ubuntu) allow systray icons from all applications (since Unity blocks them):<br />
<br />
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"<br />
<br />
Now reload unity:<br />
<br />
unity --replace & <br />
<br />
Start padevchooser or pasystray.<br />
<br />
A system tray icon should appear in the top right corner. Click it and choose pulse@hairball as the default server, then as default sink, choose the option called something like "pulse@hairball: Buil-in Audio Analog Stereo".<br />
<br />
Start some program that plays audio (if the program was already running you may have to restart it after changing sinks). <br />
<br />
The audio should play out of the sudo room sound system speakers.<br />

<div>[[File:Appropriate Technology.jpg|thumb]]<br />
“The development and demand for “appropriate technologies” today arise from the realization that our resource conditions are changing and that our present ways of doing things are inappropriate for the futures we face.<br />
<br />
They arise also from a realization that our present technologies serve ends which threaten the fundamental values of our society and new ways of doing things must be developed which support and evoke those values.<br />
<br />
Appropriate technology demands that we ask, “Appropriate for what?” “Appropriate for whom?” No technology is value-free.<br />
<br />
Some technologies are appropriate for conditions of growth, vast resources and small populations. Others are appropriate for conditions of stability, plentiful labor and scarce resources. Some technologies increase the wealth of a few while impoverishing the many. Others tend to equalize wealth ana power. Some technologies degrade and destroy the people using them, while others give opportunity for growth of skills, confidence and abilities.<br />
<br />
Some technologies consume energy; some provide employment. Some technologies produce goods, others produce good.<br />
<br />
The existence of a technology does not require its use any more than the existence of a gun requires us to shoot. It only requires that we examine what happens if we don’t use it and others do, and the effects its use would have on our lives."<br />

“The development and demand for “appropriate technologies” today arise from the realization that our resource conditions are changing and that our present ways of doing things are inappropriate for the futures we face.<br />
<br />
They arise also from a realization that our present technologies serve ends which threaten the fundamental values of our society and new ways of doing things must be developed which support and evoke those values.<br />
<br />
Appropriate technology demands that we ask, “Appropriate for what?” “Appropriate for whom?” No technology is value-free.<br />
<br />
Some technologies are appropriate for conditions of growth, vast resources and small populations. Others are appropriate for conditions of stability, plentiful labor and scarce resources. Some technologies increase the wealth of a few while impoverishing the many. Others tend to equalize wealth ana power. Some technologies degrade and destroy the people using them, while others give opportunity for growth of skills, confidence and abilities.<br />
<br />
Some technologies consume energy; some provide employment. Some technologies produce goods, others produce good.<br />
<br />
The existence of a technology does not require its use any more than the existence of a gun requires us to shoot. It only requires that we examine what happens if we don’t use it and others do, and the effects its use would have on our lives."<br />
