Labitrack allows simple 2D barcode labeling (QR codes) of individual items in the Sudo Room, and creates a wiki-based online inventory of those items. To look up what items are available at Sudo Room (or add new items), you need to: | ||
# Connect to the correct LAN/wifi (named: "sudo mesh" or "omni ballroom"). | |||
# Then, simply type into your web-browser the address: http://stuff.sudo. | |||
When you scan a 2D barcode, you will be taken to an item address, for example: http://o.sudoroom.org/1. The number at the end refers to the ID of the scanned item. This will immediately redirect you to http://sudoroom.org/wiki/O:1, where you can add information about the item. When you create a new item in the web app, a label will immediately be printed on the teeny tiny printer currently located on the main bookcase. A future goal is that the information you enter when you create the label will automatically be entered into the wiki page for the item.

===Additional=== | |||
====Maintenance==== | |||
There is going to be a maintenance and inventory of our existing electronics. (Suggested June 2013) | |||
http://lists.sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/2013-June/002912.html | |||
* Created an ethernet pad for this - https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroommaintenance | |||
====3D Models of Objects==== | |||
Project to add 3D models of various objects in the SudoRoom. | |||
* Software - mobile software Autodesk 123Catch (anyone with a smartphone can scan a 3D object by taking up to 40 photographs of the object and stitching it up in the cloud) - very easy to use, even for beginners who don't know CAD at all | |||
* Hardware - eventually we'd like to get a 3D Scanner for SudoRoom | |||
* Hosting - We'd like to eventually host these models as STL files on our own servers | |||
* Add these models as uploaded files or in-wiki files for each inventory item, tied to the QR codes as well that we scan |
