door hacking and makerbots!

* A door hacking night apparently happened?! We old timers who only use

When's the shopbot meeting happening?

Shit is happening yes!

The website is awesomely functional! Have you signed up yet?!?!

Door hacking went well! We are moving everything to Arduino based systems + Drupal (the thing that powers acemonstertoys.org) for core auth

Don't really know about the CNC, but FUCK YEAH!

I also don't know about the shopbot meeting. Maybe pick a date and if you are signed up on the website you should be able to create an event.

Subject: [AMTD] Time to pay your Feburary dues
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=m=J=REM1sO1iYGs53aqPOvyGea4m3ne110HKn@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all members,

It's that time of the month again. Ace Monster Toys needs your support to
survive! We are just barely breaking even as is, so I'm writing this email
on only the second of the month, to encourage everyone to put in their
monthly dues. We still request that you pay the standard $80 if you are at
all able, however we now have a "Starving Hacker" rate of $40/month, for
people who are in tight financial times, because we don't want to exclude
people if we don't have to.

If you did not pay your dues last month, it's even more important that you
shell out this month. We had some significant expense last month to install
the greatly needed ventilation shaft, which is now working great! (Thanks
all who worked on it, and who have paid the expenses in advance and are
still waiting for us to reimburse them).

For those of you that have already set up automatic payments, thank you, and
sorry for having to listen to my ramblings.
For the rest of you, here's the page on how to send your monies our way:

Graham,

Would love to have a computer with a parallel port. They seem so hard
to come by lately.
We are building a few CNC machines and it seems most controllers use
parallel for the drivers.

Let me know when/where.

Guys, the lockers were painted red today. Rather, some lockers were. A
set of lockers, if you will. The other remains yet grey and dull, but
we'll get there. If you feel like you're a bad enough dude to
accomplish the task, go ahead and move the red set upstairs. Careful,
it's heavy and we don't have insurance against crushing.

Also, I've divided the electronics workstation into two desks, so now
you have soldering station A and B. B is the original table, and A is
the new one facing al's desk. You can identify it by the soldering
station on it. I'm not saying A is better than B or anything, but
there's a reason things come in alphabetical order...

Christian and I plan to paint the second set black (as we used up the red on the first). I expect next weekend at the soonest as we need daylight to do it.

The lockers aren't too terribly heavy but it is definitely a three or more person job to get them upstairs and you should wear gloves because of metal edges. There are welding and work gloves on my desk (two pair) if someone gets interested in it. Otherwise, I'll try to round up people at the Thursday meeting.

Subject: [AMTD] Space status and membership drive
Message-ID: <C86713DA-1AF2-4C5E-A9CE-5E74A2E24A61@openbuddha.com>

Hi everyone,

 I was thinking about membership and Ace Monster Toys earlier today. It has been six months since we elected the board, found a space, and moved in. Much of the work since then has been the initial work of building the space out. We've assembled tools, built a lot of desks, and generally done things to make the space usable. We've also gotten to know each other a bit and worked on a few projects. I feel that we're most of the way there in the initial space build out with a lot of work by many of you reading this (I'm not going to name names and run the risk of forgetting something someone did but it has been a *lot* of work and quite a few of you have really kicked in time, energy, and money to get things moving).

 I feel that the next stage is two-fold:

1. We need to figure out what kind of hackerspace we want to *be*. All spaces emphasize various things and build their own sort of community. We are no different. So far, much of our impetus or expressed interest is around physical fabrication (makerbots, woodworking, welding, cnc) and we've assembled tools towards this end. Who and what we are will evolve gradually but if people are really REALLY wanting to go in a specific direction with classes, workshops, and tools, this is probably a good time to think about it.

 2. Membership: We're effectively self-sustaining at this point but just barely. We can pay our bills but don't have much to set aside. We also have been very focused on working on the space and, at least for me, less on looking actively for new members. People here about us and show up but, other than the mini maker faire, we haven't worried too much about it. I think we're in a good place now to try to actively recruit more people. We have tools to offer and have gotten ourselves decently well established. I think there are natural shared interested with various computer, burning man, and other groups locally of people who like to work hands on with technology and make things. I also think that few of these groups of people know that we exist.

 So, I wanted to ask what people thought we should do around these two items above (or other essential points that I just didn't think of), especially around having a drive to increase our membership substantially. What can we do to bring people in? What can we do to get more people actively building or working on projects at AMT? How do we want to present ourselves to others and grow?

 Please feel free to comment here and potentially make this a discussion item at the next Thursday meeting, if it is interesting enough.

Al

So far, much of our impetus or expressed interest is around physical fabrication (makerbots, woodworking, welding, cnc) and we've assembled tools towards this end. Who and what we are will evolve gradually but if people are really REALLY wanting to go in a specific direction with classes, workshops, and tools, this is probably a good time to think about it.

Caveat: I am not currently a dues-paying member, as I'm spending most
of my time in Ithaca at the moment. I do have some tools at AMT and
whatnot.

I like the direction of AMT as a Makery or FabLab that seems to be
shaping up. A private members club, where people can comfortably
install and operate expensive, dangerous machines for fun and profit.
I think classes and certification courses for the machinery is an
excellent way to grow the member base and bring in a little extra cash
for build-out and miscellany.

Having more ambitious open houses won't hurt. Once you get Mike's
ShopBot up and running, you should throw it a party!

I love that we're finally getting to this phase of the conversation.

While we've been building out the physical infrastructure, it seems to me
that the social structure is an area we've been needing to invest more in.

Some much of the long-term success of the space depends on the culture we
build up around it, how we find answers to questions like:

   - whose space is it, anyways?
   - who gets to decide what's important, and how?
   - how much is it each of our responsibility to build and grow the
   community?
   - before people become members, how do they get
   engaged/involved/recognized/invited/mentored?

Just last night I got to HackerDojo for the first time, although I've been
on their list and supporting their activities since before they opened,
including sharing a Maker Faire booth several years ago.

I was impressed with the physical and technological infrastructure, as well
as the well-positioned "greeting lounge" by the front door - making it easy
for volunteers to hang out and be comfy while providing security and getting
everyone signed in.

The thing that was most notable for me, though, was the degree of community
-- even with a big event of mostly non-members underway (a SuperBowl
Commercials Watching Party) there was lots of welcoming and greeting and a
sense that people knew each other and were keeping an eye on things.

I'm by no means saying we need to be an exact replica -- we have different
circumstances, levels of support, physical structure, and priorities. But
there's a lot we can do to make the space more findable (I brought it up at
a recent downtown-Berkeley gathering about promoting innovation -- most
folks had not heard of it) and help us all spread the word through our
social networks, both online and in person, to make our memberships into a
badge of honor we display proudly.

I've been wanting to get over to use the space and host some events there,
but had been reluctant until the initial-construction-and-sorting-out-phase
was done. It sounds like we're there now, ready for the next steps.

So far I've found AMT to be a great builder space, and I would love to
see us continue in that direction. We have some great tools for
fabrication, and a good community of smart and creative people who
actually get shit done. We should definitely promote it as such. I
think of AMT as the place to go to build those bookshelves you never
get around to because you don't have the tools. The place to build
your next robot. The place to make the coolest fucking trip toys ever
(ever).

I think we should present ourselves to potential members as a place
where their ideas are turned into real objects, for the low low price
of $80/mo.

Well, Christian and I were painting in the morning and I hung out until 12:40 or so to see if anyone wanted to work on makerbots but there were no takers.

 Other than Thursdays, we don't have a reliable time that everyone knows that people are around. If anyone has suggestions on how we can change this, I think it would be great to talk about. 

 The new Tuesday Python class might also act as an anchor point for some. I think that there are some open source or making related user groups in the area and it would be good to reach out the them. I don't know about others but I would love to offer to host meetings for a few groups with shared interests that currently meet in libraries or similar.

Well, many of us attended but "we" didn't exist yet. :-) This is all new for us!

I'm wondering if we want to have a booth, at minimum. That would require us to commit to staffing it and then thinking about what we wanted to have there. I believe both Noisebridge and Hacker Dojo had booths last year (I know that the former did for sure).

There are much grander things that we could do as well.

While we're on the subject of the wiki, and logos, do you think we
could get that favicon up on the site pages?

I can't be the only one with dozens of tabs open, and finding a
generic page has a lot of cognitive overload.

Speaking of reducing cognitive overload, I went ahead and attached it
again. Feel free to improve if possible.

Cheers,
-Sam.

Hi folks,
I can donate some time / truck space if needed.
Also I saw you needed a laptop w/ parallel port. I have an IBM ThinkPad but
no power brick if that helps.

Hey guys,

We're hurting for a whiteboard. And by 'we', I mean 'me'. I'll
definitely need one for tomorrow's class, but I'm mostly
transportless. I don't suppose anyone can spare some time today to
pick up a few of these from home depot:

If you can, let me know, and I'll pony up some cash for you.

Stefan brought the materials to the space. I would say that we could use the laptop if someone knows how we can power it.

Robb,

Don't hesitate to propose or even start a meeting! If you're not on IRC, hop
on when bored, we might just start things on the fly too :)

I was at AMT, working and I too don't watch or have regular tv, so I can
relate.

Found a free, working toaster oven for reflow work. Its on solder station B.

I think for single sided boards it may be better to pan fry or hot plate,
but toaster oven was free.

Else, we can use it for food :)

So far I have 9(!) confirmed and a number of maybes.

A more different reminder, the shindig starts at 7 tonight, but I'm
going to try to be there at 6:30. Feel free to come early if you want
help getting python onto your computer, or if you are just that
anxious and have questions before we even start. See you all there!

This sounds like an amazing opportunity to make a connection with an org
that can send us a steady stream of new members (which we need). They
already have a huge mass of people who sound like our exact demographic.

Who wants to volunteer to organize the delegation to Make:SF? It's a little
ways away, two months or so, but I guess they like to plan ahead. At least a
couple of us should go, bring some widgets/projects that we have made, and a
short presentation about why we are so awesome and why they should join us.

Hey guys,

Robbie's been working hard to switch our comcast account off a
personal one and onto one owned by the space, and there's been a
hiccup in service. We're working to get this fixed, it should be back
up tomorrow night, sometime during the meeting. Sorry about the
inconvenience! If you feel put out by the whole affair let me know,
and I'll make Robbie buy you a cookie.

1) Feb 20 is the musicians and DIY swap meet in berkeley: http://www.rawbw.com/~emiller/Euthymia/Swap/

I don't have more than a handful to sell, but would be interested in sharing a table.  Might also be a good place to put up the Ace Monster toys sign. Anyone else? 

2) Does anyone have a 2.7-3.5 volt wall wart they're willing to part with? 

3) As a topic for Thursday & meetings to come, how about a prepaid punch card for people like me who attend erratically? I'm traveling too much for monthly attendance, but know the space needs money for drill bits & lube. To keep this from competing with membership, perhaps price it high? $200 prepay for x visits?

Hey Monsters,

So after a long session of smashing things against walls, we broke and
remade the door reader. One of our precariously purchased wires
finally snapped under the stress, and we had to rebuild everything.

Here is the diagram for the original reader: http://bit.ly/cHmUzR

And here is the new diagram

computer <----> teensy controller <----> door

Please note, things are still kinda precariously perched, so don't touch it.

However, one thing that's been taken out of the loop is the bit where
you could activate the door by hitting a website. So, for now, the
only way to get in is with an authorized fob or a physical key.
Apologies for any inconvenience. Please see Dave R to get your shiny
new key fob if you haven't already.

Agreed, Arduino IDE is not on the awesome list.

Anyone played with Arduino-Textmate bundle yet?

This is why I don't have a Mac... $55 for a basic code editor?

vim has an integrated graphical debugger now? I must have missed that one.
Can't claim vim is more powerful without that. Also VS has had a free
edition for a couple years now. For the truly die-hards, apparently you can
run the vim editor embedded in the VS IDE, but I've never tried that.

Congratulations all, it looks like we've had our first editor flamewar! I
think that means we're official now! I wonder why we haven't heard any of
those emacs users speak up yet. Have they finally all died off?

Well, I get it for free but it is a pretty decent IDE for web related languages.

I agree that Arduino is ... limited, but you're never gonna find an IDE
that can step through code running on a microcontroller!  There may be
an arduino emulator, I haven't ever heard of one but I haven't looked
either.  I'm with Dave on the benefits of full-featured IDEs, btw :)

Actually the MSP430 launchpad thingamabob, which is actually more limited
flash/ram-wise than the AVR in an arduino, comes with a full IDE based on
eclipse, and lets you step through the code and inspect variables, which the
code is actually running on the chip, connected to your computer via USB. I
think it can also be done with some sort of JTAG device and AVR's via AVR
Studio...but I've never tried.

Message-ID: <99519E11-147F-498C-AC4F-02D0C6543F04@openbuddha.com>

Hi,

 I'm not sure if it is clear to people who didn't come on the last two Thursdays but there have been changes with the door. The system has been redone for it and it now works with RFID (thanks to David, Christian, and Ryan, I believe). As a side effect of the changes, the older system of SMS and web page access is offline, though I believe it is planned for eventual return. We do have RFID fobs for all members. You can arrange to get them from Christian, David, or Robbie if you are a member and all we ask for is $1 to help pay for the stack of them we ordered.

 Additionally, half of our lockers are upstairs now (Christian and I still need to paint the other half). They are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you want to have one of the smaller lockers for permanent use to store your stuff, we ask that you tell David, as treasurer, and give him a one-time fee of $12. This is to reimburse the space for the cost of purchasing the lockers so we can afford other nice things in the future. I expect that the second set of lockers will be available in the next week though there has been some debate about having them upstairs vs. downstairs. The lockers can take, surprisingly, a standard lock. If you do get a locker, you should put your name on it (I suggest using masking tape unless we find a label maker). You aren't required to lock it but it is an option.

don't have access to the code which is the only thing listing the
connections, I can't plug it back in without guessing randomly, and that
might let the magic smoke out. So until we hear from Christian (who I
believe has the only copy of the code), the space can only be accessed by
key. The microcontroller has been moved into the closet, so at least once
it's reconnected, wont get bumped. We'll have all the parts we need within
the next week, and then we'll make sure everything is tidied up and wired
down solid.

Here's the pin info I do have, in case someone gets a chance to work on it
when I'm not available. The main thing I don't know is the pin config on the
mcu side, so I don't know which to connect to which I/O pin.

*** Wires coming from the relay board
Blue - open signal
Yellow - Connect to + (red) from 12V power supply
Red - close signal
Orange - Goes to door already

*** 4 Wires bundled together, go to RFID reader
Blue - 5V power
Black - Ground
White - RFID enable low
White w/ black tag on it - TX from RFID
*** Connect the ground from 12V power supply (black) to the extra short
black wire by itself coming from the wire bundle.

We'll use rj45 to connect, it will be nicer. At least now there is a
permanent cable and should be totally out of anyones way.

Message-ID: <AANLkTimWMec-9dcDseuVvqK+j1ueeGyUntsLzj_cCeFL@mail.gmail.com>

Hey folks, due to (semi) popular demand, Python class is on tomorrow
night again. Same bat time, same bat channel.

If you've been doing the book work, you should be able to make your
way through to exercise 12 or so before it starts to throw nonsense at
you. The lecture (hah!) will discuss the ideas covered in Exercises 19
through 22 or thereabouts. If you can make it through there,
fantastic. If not, don't worry.

I'll see about pizza, but y'all might just be getting pizza hut since
there are so many of you. See you there!

Message-ID: <4D5B07F8.8020409@xtreme.com>

We were just talking on IRC and came up with the idea of a set of shop
tools classes.  I'd like to do this as a series, probably once a month,
and each month a different person who knows, can teach about one tool,
or a class of tools, that we have.  So far I think we can manage:

* power saws (chop saw, bandsaw, do we have a third?)
* router
* welder
* lathe

I can teach the welding one, or arrange for it to be taught by someone
more experienced.  Does anyone else have interest in teaching any of the
others, or one I haven't thought of?  (Mike I am looking at you!)

Also, timing... I think this should be a weekend series, maybe first
Sunday?  What would be a good time?  If we start in April (or March if
we decide on a late-month date) we will have time to promote the hell
out of it.  Or we can start sooner and promote less.

i'm for starting sooner, builds up the learning on our end.
once we got our stuff down, we can open it up.

i'm a bit iffy on sundays, unless it's sundays 9am-1pm. saturday would
work all day (thats just me though).

In terms of saws, we have a table saw, bandsaw, radial arm saw and
manual saws, for a good workout. No miter/chop saw yet.

RIGHT it is a radial arm saw not a chop saw.  I always get those mixed up.

Subject: [AMTD] iOS development
Message-ID: <B4C52C4F-3EC0-4B77-8EA0-54FCD80A3C8C@openbuddha.com>

iTunesU has a podcast (actually two from different quarters) of a Stanford class on iOS development. It has the class slides, as well as video of the class.

See http://itunes.apple.com/itunes-u/iphone-application-development/id384233225#ls=1.

The description is:

"Tools and APIs required to build applications for the iPhone platform using the iPhone SDK. User interface designs for mobile devices and unique user interactions using multitouch technologies. Object-oriented design using model-view-controller pattern, memory management, Objective-C programming language. iPhone APIs and tools including Xcode, Interface Builder and Instruments on Mac OS X. Other topics include: core animation, bonjour networking, mobile device power management and performance considerations. Prerequisites: C language and programming experience at the level of 106B or X. Recommended: UNIX, object-oriented programming, graphical toolkits Offered by Stanford?s School of Engineering, the course will last ten weeks and include both the lecture videos and PDF documents. A new lecture will be posted a week after each class meeting. Subscribe to this course, and automatically receive new lectures as they become available. Released with a Creative Commons BY-NC-ND license."

I'm planning on watching these as I want to learn more about iOS development. I thought I'd see if anyone else was interested. If so, I'd arrange a weekly time in the space to watch it together so people interested in iOS could potentially begin working on it. It is watching a college class so it may not be everyone's cup of tea. There are a total of 20 classes 

Is anyone else interested in this?

I am. I went through the first five or six lectures already and the first
three assignments I think, thinking I was going to abandon hardware and
become an iphone programmer (i'm not). But I still want to learn it and plan
on continuing through the class at my own pace. I'd be interested (though
I'm not a dues paying member so...)

I'm actually about 200 miles away tomorrow!

Maybe someone else will be around? Otherwise, I could probably get it from you Sunday afternoon or Monday. Myles and I will be working on the bookscanner on Monday.

Passing this on because YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED!

-------- Original Message --------
Hey guys,

I've bcc'd you on this email because y'all either are or hang-out with
adventurous hackers who like to build and destroy things in equal
measure. A production company based in Boston is developing a
documentary style project focused on hackery. Basically, they want some
mischievous mad scientists with hearts of gold to take their textbook
knowledge and apply it in totally bizarre ways to all kinds of everyday
materials. Visual spectacles; cool, geeky gadgets, you get the picture.
Further description available in document attached.

If you or anyone you know is interested, email casting at powderhouse.net
<mailto:casting at powderhouse.net> by Feb. 18th with a brief bio, pictures
of yourself, and details of any hacks you may have pulled off in the
past. Boston area is probably preferred, but who knows: for a good
enough hack, their maybe be a travel budget.

Hi Kara,

I got your info from Arestia Rosenberg and she had mentioned you would
be a great resource for our current project. We are working on a project
that is focusing on "Hackerspaces" and engineering prank ability. I
attached our casting call sheet and would love your input. Let me know
if you need anymore information.

Thanks,

Brian who works next to a welding store kindly purchased us some safety
equipment, and we now have the minimum level of Stuff to use the welder.
 We welded some pipe... it's horrible for various reasons, but take a
look at it anyway.  I'll update the wiki page tomorrow.

Hello Ace Monster Toys!

I'm the Tech and Workshop editor at
Instructables.com<http://www.instructables.com/>,
and also a member of Noisebridge in San Francisco. I'd like to get to know
you, help your members share projects and get more attention and generally
help support your hackerspace. Here are some of the things we're currently
doing - let me know if you have more ideas.

Free stuff for your hackerspace:
We're sponsoring free Instructables Pro accounts for hackerspace members.
Let me know if your group would be interested - these are a $25/year value,
and we could sponsor up to 20 of your members. I can also run free
geotargeted ads for your hackerspace to boost awareness of and membership in
your group, and even hook you up with some Instructables schwag.

Win awesome tools:
We're currently giving away a laser cutter and shop tools in our Epilog
Challenge <http://www.instructables.com/r/Epilog>, and will run more big
contests with prizes like 3D printers and other tools which are perfect for
outfitting your space. Individual or group projects are eligible.

If you have more questions, comments, or suggestions, or just want to talk,
shoot me an email!

Sincerely,

Laura Khalil

Message-ID: <AANLkTi=Hn5sGQMHEN=TJRxA4Euh8uQYE3Uc+3YYOnWFB@mail.gmail.com>

Hey folks,

Python is on tonight, show up and bring your friends. Pizza has more
or less been working out, and I'll probably order again. Or, I'll make
Stefan order again, you know how it goes.

If you haven't done it yet, get on the amt-computing google group
(http://groups.google.com/group/amt-computing), since most
announcements are going to happen there. I sent out a call for
programming problems that needed tackling, but since no one answered,
we're going to do my project, which is a secret. Well, okay, we're
going to start building a text adventure interpreter together. So.
There. Not that big of a secret.

Check the google group for the assigned reading, but as usual, don't
worry if you didn't do it. Just show up tonight at 7pm, be ready to
learn, have questions, the usual. See you there.

Daniel Reetz, who invented the book scanner that Myles and I are building and who runs diybookscanner.org, is in town this week for a conference on personal archiving. He just commented in my blog post at http://www.openbuddha.com/2011/02/22/diy-book-scanner-in-progress/ and is interested in stopping by. I'm going to try to get him to come to the Thursday meeting, as it is best timing wise, and maybe speak briefly to us about book scanners.

So, this might be a good week to make the meeting. :-)

Laura,

That sounds pretty cool. Let us know how to get pro accounts for our
members. We currently have fewer than 20 regular members.

I'm personally familiar with Instructables, and I'm sure most of our
membership is as well. It's very cool to see that the company is
taking an active interest in hackerspaces.

Hey Heph,
I feel like we've probably met at Noisebridge at least once --
certainly I recognize your name from the list!
For the Pro accounts, all we need is the Instructables username of
whomever is interested. I would prefer to get them all at once (that
reduces the likelyhood I accidentally miss someone) if possible.
Let me know if you've got any more questions. Happy to help.
Cheers,
Laura

OK, clearly we are going about this the wrong way. Please add your
instructables account name to this wiki page:
http://wiki.acemonstertoys.org/Instructable_Pro_Account_Requests

(I've added everybody who replied in public, I hope, but please check
you're on there.)

Maybe we need people to also put their actual name? Otherwise I don't know
how to map some of these nicknames to actual members to verify it's not just
some random dude leaching free accounts off us who's not actually a member.

Sensible - would a wiki user page link suffice to check for
memberness? In mediawiki, ~~~ (three tildes) place a link to the user
page into the page, which is ever so convenient (:

Well, I'm not some random dude, but I'm not a member at the moment,
since I'm spending all my days in Ithaca.

I'm a long-term participant who will member up when he's around to do
so. Feel free to bump me off the list if it turns out there's twenty
dues-paying members who want one. I do have several Instructables up
already; I'd make use of a pro account.

cheers,
-Sam.

Hey guys,

Some of you may remember that my colleague Andrew and I
stopped by an AMT
meeting a few months ago and talked about the possibility
of filming some
of you for a short documentary that we are making on
product hacking. We
ended up not pursuing that because we decided that you
guys are TOO
technically proficient, and that we wanted to focus on more
everyday people
who hack everyday stuff. Sorry for not explaining this
earlier. It was a
case of being presented with overwhelming awesome, and
not (yet) having a
place to put it.
Anyways, we interviewed a bunch of
artists who work with recycled objects
and a casual designer who makes
things for her home that blend function and
form. We now need to cover
hacks that are more on the purely functional
side. We decided to focus on
the hacks done to the Xbox Kinect and Wii,
because of the recent excitement
surrounding the Kinect's release and it's
"hack-a-bility."
Do you know
anyone who has done a cool hack of a Kinect or Wii? This
person could be
yourself - the only criteria is that the hack be easily to
grasp and have a
"wow" factor that will amaze the average person who views
the
documentary.
I would really appreciate your guys' input. I hope things are
going well
over there!

Thanks,

Ryan

Correction.  The stickers are at AMT right now.  I got an email shortly
after I sent this message earlier today telling me to come pick them up.
There's ~250 stickers in a drawer in the electronics area.  I will bring the
rest in next week once I figure out a place to keep them and a tip jar that
will sit right next to them.

Thanks,
Sean

$1 per sticker.  All proceeds go back to the space.... perhaps to be set
aside for the next marketing collateral or sticker run

I need a serial cable with at least one male end (or a male/male serial
coupler aka gender bender), and a PS/2 cable with at least one male end (it
can be attached to a broken mouse or keyboard, that's fine, i'm gonna cut
them both in half). This is in order to replace the missing cable to the
arcade stick that was donated. If anybody has one of these on hand, or
wouldn't mind checking their junk box/closet/room/garage, I'd much
appreciate it

Andrew,

I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to get back to you, I've been busy
with our own version (5MoF) and then Dorkbot. If we're still invited
to the April Make:SF we'd love to come and talk about the space. If
it's okay, I'd like to bring some of the toys we built in our shop
with the help of the makerbots to show off.

Let us know if you have any special requests, or if we should just
come up with some random bits to talk about. We'll have a couple of
guys at the next Make:SF (March 8th?) to see how it's all run and make
sure we put on a good show =]

I don't think I did... I believe there is a Noisebridge Hack Day event
going on this Saturday but to my knowledge it doesn't overflow to AMT.

Wasn't there a once a month Saturday thing we spoke about when talking about having regular open house? I thought it coincided with your existing office hours on Saturday occasionally.

Um!  Quite possible.  My office hours aren't this weekend though... and
I don't remember actually putting anything on a calendar.  My memory
sucks though and I might have done it, under the impression that more
people were going to be there and do things?

Subject: [AMTD] Guido and Guido's master (software and hardware update)
Message-ID: <AANLkTikrQEoxA8Wg_85hp7vjmT9bqbvwtHdLYNOzUGEx@mail.gmail.com>

All,

Guido Software:
I have re-installed HeeksCAD and HeeksCNC (from deb's, I know, lame)
on Guido's Master (the laptop with parallel port).
It WORKS! I love this package, thanks to Andreas for bringing it up.
worth EVERY penny!! (it's open source and free at heeks.net, though I
am seriously considering donating).
Also works on Windows (quite well I should add) for working from home, etc.


------ PLUG: HeeksCAD/CNC use python! --> woohoo! Come to Python Class
on Tusday Nights (7pm, 6050 Lowell, Oakland, free pizza), if you want
to learn to create your own python plugins for HeeksCAD/CAM ------


Since the setup works now, I actually created a toolpath in
HeeksCAD/CAM and loaded that into EMC2. Lo and behold, the beast moved
to my commands!!! ZOMGZ!

Guido Hardware:
1. We should get a small vacuum cleaner and hook it up to the X gantry
to suck up the dust it creates. I think this will be a cool and quick
little project (any volunteers, ask me).
2. The new power supply works, but it behaves a little differently.
Using the same settings, I am seeing it bog down at higher jog rates;
some more tweaking is necessary here to get the settings correctly for
the stepper motors. I also think a separate spindle power supply will
help, but we can discuss this later.

I would be more than happy to show this to anyone interested in
learning how to use it, but keep in mind there is a lot of work to do
still. The setup needs to be customized to Guido and the tools that it
is using, which will be a lot of tweaking settings and python scripts
(see above PLUG).

Hey guys,

I came into the space and saw a ton of furniture donated, which is
nice, but I'm not sure we need that much in the way of furniture
anymore. I think the shelf and the cabinet are nice to have, but we
probably don't need more desks or conference tables. And, as much as I
like the idea of a drafting table, I'm at a loss for where to put it.
If you have something sizable to donate, please check with the
membership (ie, notify the mailing list).

That said, we _are_ gladly accepting tools of almost any sort. The
more dangerous it is, the better. Specifically, we could use a belt
sander, or an orbital sander, or any sort of abrading device. We also
need clamps. As many clamps as you can spare. Electronic components
will also be accepted blindly.

I think we can deal with the stuff that came today, but please, going
forward, if you want to donate furniture check with everyone else
first.

I left a shopping list on a piece of cardboard next to the table saw. When you discover a lack, write it down. Eventually this should get on the wiki. 

After clamps, the next dire needs are drill bits & driver bits in phillips & robinson. 

Urban Ore has a number of clamps at about 1/3 normal price. I'll pick up some this thursday. 
Craigslist doesn't seem to have any good deals on drill bits this week.

We should have every drill bit known to man. Red box, left side of
woodworking bench, top drawer. If that doesn't cut it, then manual
screwdrivers should be around as well.

Hi Christian,

Sorry, I brought that stuff in. I had a quick opportunity to pick it up and
thought we could use the desks upstairs and the cabinets downstairs. If that
does not work, I can get rid of those easily, don't worry. I'll rearrange it
on Sunday.

I haven't seen it yet but I do think we need more desks, actually. I do want to get the couches into the corner near the top of the stairs (the metal shelf there was supposed to only be there temporarily) to create a work/hang out cubbyhole where there is power.

Subject: [AMTD] power supply for zen cnc

Found a cheap 48V 7.3A power supply on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Power-Supply-48V-7-3A-350W/170557094921

Is the current supply (12V 8.5A) good enough for the steppers? Maybe we
should get two of these...one for the spindle & one for the steppers?

Stefan wanted two supplies total so the spindle could be on its own but I'm not sure of the parameters.

He said the stepper driver wants 36V max. Here's a cheap 36V
supply...basically the same exact model, but outputs 36V instead of 48V

It works but it is overkill for the CNC, from what I can tell. We can definitely run the CNC off of it though (and have been).

We have the 12V 8A right now ro drive the motors. Im gonna play with the
settings a bit and see how it does. The spindle psu at 48V sounds good. It
will spin it at about 10k rpm, which is nice for engraving and such.
I saw on zentoolworks site that their spindle psu also comes with a
controller, but i did not see any specs. Would be nice to have a variable
speed controller... not sure about cost yet.

most switching power supplies have floating outputs, so you can hook 
them up in series to get other voltages. i scrounge power supplies for 
all my installations and do this often. no explosions yet.

i wouldn't try to increase the current by hooking them up in parallel, 
though.

[image: USnooBie]I will be starting a biweekly class / workshop on using AVR
& Arduino-like microcontrollers. The first one will be 7 - 9pm on Wens.
3/16. We will have USnooBie
<http://frank.circleofcurrent.com/usnoobie/arduino.php>kits available for a
suggested donation of $20, and the first class will focus on putting
together the kits (allowing you to learn basic soldering skills if you don't
already), and writing some simple programs to blink a LED etc to get
started.

Please send me an email if you plan on coming, so I can make sure we have
enough tools for everyone. This class (like most) is open to the public, no
need to be a member of AMT to check it out!

I'll come though I may be a late (I have to drive from Mountain View on Wednesdays so I don't get back until 7:30 often).
