So, now we have some clear winners from the 'which equipment' poll,
namely laser cutter in first place, and CNC router in second.

Next, we need to identify exactly what to buy and how much it will cost,
only then can we start a pledge drive to fund it.

I have done some preliminary research, but we need other people to make
(sensible) suggestions, if you find any suitable suppliers and prices
please add them to the relevant page.

http://swansea.hackspace.org.uk/Equipment/LaserCutter
http://swansea.hackspace.org.uk/Equipment/CNCRouter

Create an account on the website and you can edit these pages directly.

Suggested equipment doesn't need to be ready built, we should be able to
assemble kits and such like.

If you have a CNC router you don't need a laser cutter - just to point
out the obvious. It'a also rather cheaper to manage because it's not a
fire hazard nor does it require a separate room, warnings on the door and
laser safety glasses.

You mention the JK-K3020 but I think you'll find it doesn't have the
required certifications to be used in the UK.

Hello fellow hackerspacers of Swansea!
?
Here in the
beautiful island of Cyprus we have just established a growing community of
young (and older) DIYers and hackerspacers. Our aim is to promote the
concept of a Hackerspace in the island, starting from Limassol (our beach
city in the south); people here unfortunately are still not very familiar
with the concept of a hackerspace/makerspace.
We are growing in
numbers with every passing week and our next big step is to be housed
under one common roof; our own hackerspace! In order to get support from
the local authorities and councils for this, a good step forward would be
to demonstrate as much activity as possible and a part of this is our
social media pages. This is why I would like to ask you something really
simple! Just ?like/follow? our pages (Facebook, Google+,
Twitter). This may seem like a simple task for you but the result for us
could be really beneficial towards our effort to establish hackerspacism
in Cyprus.
Facebook: http://goo.gl/OcXeRG
Google+: http://goo.gl/lCNSjh
Twitter: http://goo.gl/lnlQOD
?
I
leave it up to you whether you would like to post this request in your
social media pages and/or website but helping us to spread the word is
something we would be really grateful about!
Thank you all and we
hope to catch up with you in the near
future.
??????????????????????????????????
Have
a good day!


?
Best Regards,

Demetris Tzionis

The green gates are open until 5pm, so just buzz the TechHub buzzer and say you?re going to the Hackspace on the 4th floor.

I have a washing machine that I will be scrapping. I will be taking the
drum out to make a fire pit.

Shall I bring the motor to the 'space? Heater? Sensors? Solenoid Valves?

The outer shell of the drum has ripped (it is plastic) hence why it is out
of service. If Ace Electrics were still in existence I would have probably
repaired it by now. Got a good replacement machine so I can't be bothered
now.

Yeah I'm interested in the solenoid valves thanks, I heard the motor is DC and there is a pretty big/strong H-bridge motor circuit in them.

Remember not to touch any capacitors ;-)

OK, when and if I have a spare evening I will start to strip it apart and
salvage some bits - I have also heard that the motor in these things tend
to be three phase (to give the speed control?)

Not something I have ever studied to be honest with you - a couple of those
and we would have a very fast robot!

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=321487007919&alt=web

All of the ?9.99 start rolls I tried to bid on failed to sell at their ?9.99 starting bid this includes shipping, I think they are 1Kg rolls, could be worth looking into.

One 1Kg is more than enough to print all the parts for a second reprap isn't it?

I tried to bid on three different rolls of this fillament from this seller a couple of weeks back, I didnt have a "linked" paypal account so ebay would not let me bid.

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=321487007919&alt=web

BUT this is ABS we are using PLA.
PLA is a much better material to be using. ABS smells badly when you use it and the fumes are not
something I would like to be regularly exposed to. It creates Acrylonitrile when heated and extruded.

This is from the US government
http://www.epa.gov/chemfact/acry-fs.txt [1]

"

HOW DOES ACRYLONITRILE AFFECT HUMAN HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT?

 Effects of acrylonitrile on human health and the environment depend
on how much acrylonitrile is present and the length and frequency of
exposure. Effects also depend on the health of a person or the
condition of the environment when exposure occurs.

 Breathing acrylonitrile for short periods of time adversely affects
the nervous system, the blood, the kidneys, and the liver. These
effects subside when exposure stops. Nervous system effects of AN
range from headaches and dizziness to irritability, rapid heart beat,
and death. Symptoms of acrylonitrile poisoning may occur quickly
after exposure or after levels of breakdown products like cyanide
build up in the body. Direct contact with acrylonitrile liquid
severely damages the skin. Acrylonitrile liquid or vapor irritates
the eyes, the nose, and the throat. These effects are not likely to
occur at levels of acrylonitrile that are normally found in the
environment.

 There are several health effects case studies of acrylonitrile
workers. The methods used in these studies limit conclusions that can
be made from the results. These studies show that workers repeatedly
breathing small amounts of acrylonitrile over long periods of time may
develop cancer. Cancer occurs primarily in the respiratory tract. 
Laboratory studies show that repeated exposure to acrylonitrile in air
or in drinking water over a lifetime also causes cancer in animals. 
Studies also show that repeated exposure to acrylonitrile adversely
affects the respiratory and central nervous systems and causes
developmental toxicity in laboratory animals.

So a kilo reel should be plenty.

note that you will need to dedicate some serious time to printing your
own, discussions i have read suggest it can take upwards of 24hrs of
printing. Your choice of settings will of course affect this greatly.

Digging around the RepRapPro website, they have the source files for all
of the parts used.

https://github.com/reprappro/mendel

One set of files is all of the parts laid out in a tray, ie pack the
print bed with as many of the parts as possible so that you only do a
couple of prints to make everything.

They are slightly risky as if any one part messes up or comes unstuck it
could jeopardise the whole tray.  

They also give pre-sliced gcode files, using 0.4mm layers in PLA.

Tray1  43.8 meters  eta 4:53:22
Tray2  51.8 meters  eta 8:54:23

So thats an estimate of nearly 14 hours, and 95m of filament.
IF it goes perfectly.   (for reference, a 1kg reel is 330m)

Given that length of time, i would be tempted to just buy a set of parts
off ebay too, but your mileage may vary.

Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] gluing 3d printed parts
Message-ID: <CAGAFX7Oa4UxpcJNiWF_xr9E_vQJzFZ3knkgQPAX2ASFV-4oKkQ@mail.gmail.com>

I've got a little project I would like to run off on the printer, and the
parts will need to be glued or bonded.

Has anybody tried this? I can imagine that gluing parts printed with PLA
could be tricky - I was thinking about using the stuff I use on the PVC
waste pipes

What are your thoughts on the topic?

all the best

Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] Locks & Lockpicking
Message-ID: <53ea309f.a6bbb40a.12d8.1ff0@mx.google.com>

Hi guys (gender neutral version)

Are any of you interested in locks, and lockpicking?  I know that it is a common pastime in many hackspaces and just wondered if anyone has an interest in the subject.

I have a few simple cheapy locks that I can open using homemade picks etc.  What I am proposing is that we could have a little box for locks that people can share to practice on, so we can get experience of different types of locks and mechanisms?

Comments?

Ps please be aware that it carrying a lockpick in the UK, is illegal unless you can prove that you have a good reason to be carrying them - so DO NOT bring lockpicks to the space - or you can be charged with 'going equipped'. I am merely suggesting a box to share old  locks and potential topic for discussion.

Thanks

Graham

sounds fun - do it! :-)

my attempts have always been thwarted by the lock, though I have managed to
do a combination lock by feel (it was cheep)

I've recently gained a spare eurolock that I can use.

Would "I'm going to a casual lockpicking event at the hackspace" not 
count as a valid reason for carrying them?

Not sure :)

I can?t imagine a burglar making the excuse that he is going to a housebreaking tutorial event with his mates.

So, is lock-picking illegal? (I know illegal entry is? illegal) or are just carrying the tools illegal? If so, how do locksmiths operate?

I would also be interested BTW.

Hi All,
     I've been thinking of doing a basic intro on how to use the 
oscilloscopes in the space on a Saturday sometime soon.
I'm still rather new at this analogue electronics myself so would 
appreciate some backup to correct me when I make mistakes.
We also only have 2 oscilloscopes at the moment so there will be lots of 
sharing, we have had an offer of more from Dr. Tim along with some 
signal generators which would allow some of the cooler demos, but I 
don't know what happening with us actually getting any of that stuff.
What do people think?

Tim

I was thinking of doing it in one of the Saturdays between when Justin 
is able run things, but I have no particular preference for exactly 
when, although its probably sensible to wait for the extra hardware if 
its likely any time soon.

Dear All,

An oscilloscope event sounds brilliant,
not sure if I could manage a Saturday
at present.

Yes we need a couple more CROs and
signal generators to allow the "audience"
(victims?) to try for themselves. I can
provide both.

A propos, I was in my lab today and I
was horrified to find that GE (no names,
no blame) had put loads of resistors -
mostly still on bandoliers - in the bin!
I rescued many of them and filled a
large plastic bag. A useful resource
for our modest stores, I think. GE had
also thrown out some "kit built" multi
meters, perhaps I shall let them go.

We need lots of sig gens so that we can
do some Lisssajous patterns - beloved
of old Bond films in the villains secret
base.

I could bring a "posh" CRO to demonstrate
how a dual timebase works.

regards

Timothy Davies

I'm very handy with a 'scope too, having used them regularly for about 20 years, and if necessary I could lend 2 CROs to the space for the day to help with demos and practice. I have one analogue 'scope (an old Hameg) and a Tektronix TDS3032 DSO. I also have a couple of sig-gens I could lend you for the day.

Let me know if this will be needed and I will support.

I've never used a dual timebase 'scope before and would therefore be interested in checking out the fancy triggering on Timothy's posh 'scope.

Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] Saturday,
	Sata hdd & monday evenings (oh and robot challenges)
Message-ID: <367EFE57-48DE-4C35-BA0E-2DF7382E5E1C@googlemail.com>

What time are people about on saturday?

I have a 1TB hdd to drop off (it says you need a drive on the website), and hoped to see what this ki cad thing is all about.

On monday night i would like to bring a small item with me, and see if anyone knows what it is or what its for (i already know - but think its a really cool item), does anyone else have unique or interesting things that they can bring along to garner discussion?

What is the general level of robotics within the group, is anyone interested in some simple challenges like the SOR do ocasionally?  For example a previous challenge was to dig for 'diamonds' where people submitted robots that could move about a sandpit, locate and collect 'diamonds'/marbles and return them to a specified location.  Any interest? Don't know what a prize could be, but id be willing to stick one of my dev kits in the prize fund.

Best Regards

For the useful links section i would like to add www.bitsbox.co.uk to the components section.  I have no affiliation with them, but find them really handy for components in low quantities and since rs/farnell started charging delivery on small orders - they are a very expensive proposition for one or two components.

Also could a section be added to the resources for simple 'parts of circuits' not the right words, but for example a simple 7805 regulator with caps, how to connect a ldr/thermister/switch/etc to an input for both dark on/dark off operation. How to do the same for outputs, how to switch a relay from an arduino/pic - i know many people have killed their processors connecting directly to a relay.

Are there plans to to add project pages to the site so users can upload stuff they are working on and write a little about it for others to learn from or make suggestions too.

Sorry if im bombarding the mailing list- but i have been wanting a hackspace near me for a long, long, long time.

Yes, that would probably be very helpful, most of the current resources 
sections are based on the workshops we have run, someone (possibly me) 
should probably run a "Basic Electronics" workshop and add the relevant 
section to the website.
> Are there plans to to add project pages to the site so users can upload stuff they are working on and write a little about it for others to learn from or make suggestions too.
All users on the website have their own page, that is probably where I 
would put things like that.

Your coming up with useful points and generating much needed discussion, 
the space is very little without the community that goes with it.

I recently discovered my old vinyl record player and would love to have it restored to working order. It does have electricity coming through but the turntable is jammed. It is an ITT portable record player Model KP820 (from the 70s!) - photo attached. If anyone would like to have a go at repairing it as a project or if you do repairs, please let me know. Thanks.

Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] TechHub Digital signage/Info Display System
Message-ID: <6A209FD8-6A0F-4815-81FA-FCA59D267ED8@harwood-leon.com>

Hello!

We are thinking of creating a digital display/signage system for TechHub which will consist of:

- Cheap monitors dotted about the building, mounted on walls (lobby area to begin with)
- single board computers with wifi 
- webservers running from some kind of central system that can be updated

Would the hackspace be interested in helping us build it as a project? It would be useful to display stuff when events are running directing people etc. 

The rough spec would be:
- display tenants rooms floors
- display events
- lobby, possibly per floor - if the lobby works out
- system really easy to update with little or no technical skill
- secure (obviously)
- cheap!

We were going to buy some signs and stuff, but I thought that was a little silly for a "tech" hub.

It is a pretty urgent requirement, so...any thoughts?

Raspberry Pi would be a perfect solution to this 'problem'. They can be
easily mounted to a screen and networked easily via wifi

I am about to embark on a similar commercial project for a chip shop to
display prices, photos of products, community news and that sort of thing.
Three screens across but turned on their sides

Ideally you will want a back end system to manage content, as you say on a
central server, you would probably want information in zones? Will you have
screens on doors of meeting rooms to show what is happening in the room?

If so you will probably want a bespoke database to tie it all together so
you can display time relevant information per screen/room/zone with generic
info shown when there is no specific timed info to show... and a simple web
interface to 'add' information to the screens.

Ideally you will want to show text and images and maybe 'sex' it up using
HTML5

If you were not in a hurry I could roll out sections of the code I will
create for the chip shop which will do 80% of what you will want to do - I
will have three 'zones'

how much of a hurry are you in?

There are lots of 'free' systems out there for the Pi - maybe they will do
the job for you

Not 'yesterday' but maybe 'next few weeks' But any help would be great! :)

What other systems do you know of?

As for zones, there are:
- TechHub members/flexi
- TechHub Event Space
- Other floors (4th Floor - veequo/fuzmo) and someone moving in on the 3rd floor.

Is that what you mean by zones or do you mean where the displays will be shown?

- lobby
- lift
- cafe

Cheers

Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] How does one go about organising a workshop?
Message-ID: <1A3DCF72-4FCE-4EB0-928E-7A4157E7AB6A@googlemail.com>

As above,

Is there any interest in a motor control workshop at the space, where i could explain the various methods of motor control, the pros and cons of each type - perhaps with a scope set up to show the waveforms of each type, along with slides on a big screen or projector.

I would need about a month to put together examples, and the associated paperwork.

Content would include:
Types of motor and their typical application including
Dc motors brushed and brushless
Ac motors of differing types inc single phase/3 phase
Servo motors
Stepper motors
Along with information about terms like microstepping, chopping, hbridge, pwm, pid etc.

This would be followed by a fairly indepth discussion of 3 of the main types of motor that would be used in a typical project, along with control strategies.
Dc motor with speed and direction control (various pwm strategies)
Rc servo motor with control strategy (i will also provide some code for interrupt driven multiple servo control on a PIC, and if someone could provide the same for arduino, and possibly Ceri could provide an example for MBED)
Stepper motor, along with an example of using a STEP & DIR control board, and also direct drive of a stepper using the phases.

The workshop would end with an example of a PID (proportional, integral, derivative) controlled Standard dc motor, with feedback added to make a custom servo motor of any size.

Discussion about the various methods and motor types would be encouraged throughout the session.  Example drive circuit schematics would be provided and lots of hands-on with the various motor types (low voltage dc only ;) )

Examples would be using PICs, but the methods, and schematics would be applicable to any micro-controller.

The Take-Away knowledge would hopefully be that anyone requiring an actuated output from their project has the information to choose a suitable motor, a suitable control strategy, and a suitable drive circuit to make their project a success, and actually be able to implement these things in the project.

Incidentally, do the scopes in the space have a math function to subtract one signal from another? As it would be nice to show how the differential pwm works on a scope.

Best Regards

Graham Owens

I would be interested in that, we have both spare screens and a slightly 
dim projector in the space.

I believe this is the manual for the scopes in the space: 
http://mpe.berklee.edu/documents/studio/manuals/testingmet/Hitachi%20V212/V-211%20V-212%20Operation%20Manual.pdf
It appears to only lets you add waveforms.

If the Pi option is a goer, let me know and we can get some Raspi VESA mounts or whatever is required once monitor mounting is decided, run off the router in clear acrylic.

I can help with any backend server stuff assuming its lamp/wamp, im not so great with python or front-end user interfaces.

In a hacky way (and in no way a requirement for the project) it could be fun to build an extension to it using a Pi camera, and a button next to the screen saying 'im lost', when the button is pressed the pi uses openCV (open source computer vision library) to detect and lookup the persons face, then update the screen to show how to get where they should be from where they are.  Obviously it would only work if people were registered at the door and had a photo taken.  The point is We are a Hackspace, and we could do it just because we CAN do it, what other reason would you need ;)

Price your displays carefully for power consumption - there are plenty of
cheap lowish power displays and plenty that are not. If they are on all
the time then the saving can be misleading.

(Although of course with a motion sensor they could light up when there
is someone around)

Secure in what sense ? physical removal, protocol hacking,
denial-of-service or what ?


Arduino and friends are pretty good at driving LCD panels with low update
rates, generally of small size. For bigger panels you need LVDS
connectors or VGA/HDMI and similar to external panels/monitors. Arduino
isn't so good for this, but the PI is pretty competent (the CPU was
largely intended for consumer electronics grade video playback so has a
lot of video capability) and the newest version they've fixed quite a few
of the power issues with the original.

For integrated small units you can also get things
like http://www.4dsystems.com.au/product/PICadillo_35T/

and the latest STM32discovery board with onboard 320x240 display is
actually cheaper than a PI (about ?15 from Farnell)

Hello Alan, 

Good advice for the power consumption as they would be on most of the time. A motion sensor would have limited value I would guess because most signage is read from such a distance usually (or even behind glass doors). So I will ensure the monitors are low power.

As for security
- physical tampering/removal
- basic hacking protection (ssh keys etc...) Mainly because they will be on the internal network. People might find it fun to mess with them, wont be fun if they break them, or embarrass us with naughty images. Not sure whether they would be externally available so no need for DDoS protection probably, internally we can track DoS.

Ta fo the PICadillo link, looks really good.

Cheers

-- Paul

If its for TV sized displays, then off the top of my head I would
suggest an RPi (or similar cheap computer) in a VESA mount box connected
to the HDMI and USB ports on the back of each screen.

On the RPi run a minimal install, with a full-screen web browser running
in kiosk mode, pulling web pages from a unique directory on the central
web server.

You can then write whatever complexity of setup you like on the central
server.  you can even start with just static html files dropped into
each of the directories, and build up to whatever kind of complex
management setup you care to spend the time and effort to develop.

Minimal effort to setup the individual screens, mostly just
configuration and installing a few browser plugins.

It scales to any number of screens, as you give each a unique name and
location to pull from.

The displays will show anything you can make a web browser display, in
as fancy a manner as you care to design.  Anything from static html
pages with a javascript page reload, to complex animated html5, or
videos.

We do still require a fridge, of suitable dimensions to fill it with
drinks.  Problem is getting one to the space, if you have a solution to
that then yes please.


Also, noticed today, outside the SUCS Room on campus there are a couple
of tall drinks fridges that are stood next to the skips. No idea if they
work, and dont have a van to collect, but something like that would be
awesome.

Yes, a general 'electronics' section would be a good idea, i already
have a couple of generic topics i wrote as part of my PIC workshops,
stuff like what a voltage divider is and how you use it, current
limiting resistors for LEDs, stuff like that.

I can setup sections like that to be edited by anyone, but i might wait
a few days whilst i figure out how to make it edited only by members
before i throw it open.

This is what i set out to do when i ended up created the individual
members pages. With the hope that people would write a little bit about
themselves and talk about their projects.

If theres enough demand for it i will create a separate Projects area,
but an empty and neglected page looks worse than none at all, and the
menu structure is already a bit crowded.

It?s a standard under the counter fridge - but I do also have a stair crawler sack truck if that helps.

Sack trucks are helpful, i have a more standard one as well.

I was thinking more of getting it delivered to wind street as the
problem. If you or your source can deliver it to the kerb, then we can
get it upstairs.

I can deliver it as it is in the back of my car already (easiest place to put it that was out of the kitchen!), so no problem there. When would you like it?

Tomorrow ?  (ie Saturday)

IMHO Justin's solution is probably the easiest and cheapest way to go,
depending on where you source your TVs/monitors from. ModMyPi has a VESA
mount for ?2.99 (case sold separately):
https://www.modmypi.com/modmypi-raspberry-pi-case-vesa-mount

However, I did come across this beautiful design on Hackaday this morning:
http://hackaday.com/2014/08/15/pivena-the-open-source-raspberry-pi-case/

The design files are open source, so we can modify it as necessary. The
corners are 3D-printed and the panels are laser-cut plywood. A good reason
to get a laser cutter for the space, right? ;)
It looks like the 7" displays can be sourced of eBay for around ?30-?40.

If 5.4" is just big enough.....

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=301040341670&alt=web

?7.49 inc delivery! Here is a video of an earlier model I own...

Joytech 5.6" TFT with aux AV in: http://youtu.be/D8HSE793vW0

I think it has the same size screen(ish), I'm about to order one of the these for my own project, I'll bring it in for viewing if your interested.

We could possibly 3d print a new casing which would incorporate the pi.

IMHO Justin's solution is probably the easiest and cheapest way to go,
depending on where you source your TVs/monitors from. ModMyPi has a VESA
mount for ?2.99 (case sold separately):

Hey guys, what's on today?

Is anyone going today that could bring in a jigsaw cutter? I want to quickly start and finish a vacuum forming box (drill a hole in the side of a draw, add a top with holes) project but I have not got access to a jigsaw to cut out the frame to hold the material at the moment.

Message-ID: <CAJqsN4Qb46=o3-SY34Cfi3X7-o-KqoqWA_cZx-M2J-POx2O1eA@mail.gmail.com>

Just like to say a big thank you to Justin for the tutorial of KiCad, where
I learned a lot, had fun talking with the guys, and it was nice to Macs,
Linux boxes and Windows boxes all running the same software and following
the same tutorial.

As a daily user of Schematic Capture and Board Layout, if have to admit
that I liked KiCad very much - although some of the features were quite
difficult to find, but once we found them they were pretty straight forward.

The program is unlimited and allows multi sheet schematics and multi board
PCBs with my favourite pricetag (free).

The output from the program included industry standard Gerber & Drill files
as well as a variety of common vector image formats such as SVG.

If i get a chance during next week, I will run off a board that was
produced with KiCad and bring it to the space for people to see.

Message-ID: <1408277845.5987.11.camel@emerald.geode.org.uk>

Huge thanks to Ming for the donation (and delivery) of a fridge to the
hackspace on saturday.

The idea is that the hackspace will stock the fridge with drinks that
you lot like, and sell them on at a small markup, with the usual honour
system of putting money in the pot.

The question is, what drinks would you like to see?

Personally, im going to add a stock of bottled water: either evian or
brecon carreg, and maybe some orange fanta or tango.

but what do -you- all like ?

I would love to know how many others would be interested in getting a crate
of Club-Mate, the original hacker's drink (
http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2013/07/2013718165122387621.html
).

It's made from yerba mate, a South American jungle plant with lots of
caffeine. It tastes a bit like iced tea and is low in sugar. We'll probably
have to sell them for about ?1.50 or ?2 for a 330ml bottle.

Water would be perfect.

Brecon have a warehouse in Swansea or Llanelli. Not sure which. I can
check. The 50cl bottles are really cheep if we collect. Bookers do a day
ticket as well in Llansamlet if we want to get a dozen slabs at a time

I didn't think I would have the money and never booked the time off, money showed up but no time off available, I'll have to wait to the next one now, I will be going to that one.


No animals were harmed in the making of this email. However, several thousand electrons were severely inconvenienced.

This is the route I tried when I didn't think I had the money, voluteers still pay....

unless they are a qualified first aider. For next year if becoming a quified first aider (my qualifaction has expired now) is == or < a ticket I'll get qualified and go free.

Maybe for next year if enough of us group to gether we could get a good price on x amount of us training the same time.

Is it at the hackspace and will anyone be around this afternoon?


No animals were harmed in the making of this email. However, several thousand electrons were severely inconvenienced.

I'm not likely to be at the space again until next week sometime, the
discussion about next monday revealed many were away or busy this
weekend, such that we wont be having the regular monday meeting this
bank holiday.

Dear All,

Picking up on the correspondence about
"wheeled trolley type thing" I bought one
on offer from Maplin a few years ago, very
useful at 20 pounds.

A propos de this sort of thing, my tech David
was threatening to throw out some of our CRO
trolleys, which I have always found essential
in a big lab. Bearing in mind our limited space,
would a CRO trolley be useful?

regards

Dr. Tim

This saturday i have scheduled a workshop at the usual time, 
but i have no fixed plan, what would people like to do ?

I am going to be at the space all day, so thought it might be nice 
to have a movie night, if we can get the projector working properly.

In other news the fridge should be stocked with a selection of drinks by
saturday, prices will be posted on the door, put the money in the
collection box.

The first batch of keyfobs has arrived, which can be collected from me
on saturday, or the following monday night social.

It looks like the intercom has finally been fitted, exactly which button
and panel it is will be posted on the Find Us page as soon as we've had
a chance to test it.

I am trying to put together an Arduino Starter Kit, 
thought it would be nice to be able to sell them at SWAMP, 
as well as at future workshops.

Trying to keep the total cost at under ?10.

List of contents so far:
Arduino Uno      ?4.68
mini breadboard  ?0.42
30 jumper wires  ?0.50
5mm RGB LED      ?0.04
LDR              ?0.03
9G mini servo    ?1.00

thats ?6.67 so far.

apart from a few resistors and standard LEDs, what else should i
include ?

(also want to find a cheap plastic box to package them in)

Could you remind me when SWAMP is?

How about using a Arduino Mini with USB and a full size breadboard? In my
opinion better than the UNO.

You might want to add a cheap EEPROM, includes a feel for I2C this way (or
SPI).

Push buttons, dont forget push buttons.

A Nano 3.0 would probably fit that bill.

not sure how interesting an EEPROM would be, maybe a cheap SDCARD
module, but they tend to be a bit expensive in this context, and also
often 3.3v logic.

SD is 3.3v so for Ardweenies you need a level shifter. Works great on
most of the other platforms (Papilio, PI etc). In SPI mode the buffering
is unidirectional for each line and not too hard, plus you only need one
extra line per extra device you put on the same bus (although possibly
quad 32GB SD card is excessive on an Arduino!)

You can get SD 3.3v boards very very cheap from China (think I paid ?5 or
so a combo SPI and 320x240 3.3v SPI LCD board).

Hi All,
     We are planning to upgrade the 3D printer, we are now accepting 
pledges towards the shopping list.

The aim is to add a second extruder this will allow us to print things 
like ninjaflex, and allow dual material prints e.g. 2 colours or 1 
colour + dissolvable support.

If you would like to pledge some money or look at the shopping list go 
to http://swansea.hackspace.org.uk/Equipment/RepRapNozzel

If you have any questions or suggestions for alterations to the list 
please email me. Donations of parts on the list are also welcome but

Was just looking at the page on the new extruder and spotted the ninjaflex thing, would i be correct in thinking that i could print a living hinge with it?  That could open some cool possibilities.

I would point out that 'shields' fit Uno's that is why I no longer use
Nano's.

A compatible 4 relay shield might be good to have as an 'extra'.

a quick search around shows items people have made with live hinges

Please follow the SignUp link on the website to create an account
and then use the pledge button on the relevant page. (Non-members can
also do this if they wish)

that way we can keep track of who and how much money people have
promised. Once we hit the funding goal we will give instructions on how
to hand over the promised cash and track it on that page.

Once you have an account you can also add to various other pages on the
site, including your own personal page where we are encouraging people
to say a little about themselves and whatever projects and ideas they
have.

PS, I see little point in making an upgrade now and then another some time
later

I would prefer to see us making the RUMBA addition first as last if
possible thus allowing us to add the third extruder at any time

I agree, which is why I listed the option to get the better electronics now.
There are some even fancier electronics but they get much more expensive 
quickly, also more than 3 extruders is probably not that useful and 
would require some serious upgrades to the rest of the printer.

The electronics upgrade will be the last thing on that list to be 
bought, partly to give people longer to pledge us up to being able to 
afford the better board and partly because its no use without the rest 
of the extruder anyway.

My plan is to get the second extruder working and be able to switch 
between the 2 extruders before you start the print which will mean we 
don't need the electronics upgrade to get some of the advantages of the 
new head like finer prints and printing materials that don't work in our 
existing extruder.
