Not really got any planned yet,
attendance has been poor at the last few events
so we really need some better feedback on what people want.

there will be a few new things we can do when we have the laser cutter,
but we have to get it and figure out how it works before we can announce
them.

Hi all,

Tried to print something earlier, looks like the extruder/drive jammed.
I can't get the printer to retract from the web interface (it doesn't 
like the printer being restarted it seems).

Shouldn't be a big problem, but I'm not going to be able to fix it 
tonight.

when this happened with Tim and myself we had to open up the element drive

Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] Loan/replacement key fob
Message-ID: <DUB406-EAS3279FE276DFE286F594A507C6FA0@phx.gbl>

My house keys are still AWOL, pretty sure they are in my house but they have not surfaced yet, how would I go about getting a loan fob/paying for replacement if my keys don't turn up in the next 4 weeks or so?


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

I believe we have an offer of a permanent loan of one of these from 
Graham, but we currently don't have space for it.

Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] Maximizing the laser cutter
Message-ID: <5527CB5D.7040806@aurinia.co.uk>

Now that we have the laser cutter and given that we really do need new 
members I am wondering if we can make use of the new piece of kit for 
recruitment.

Is it worth publicising it in the same way that the intial launch of 
this group was done by promoting it to other internet lists etc. Like 
the linux community and the university.
We'd have to get it working first and have something for people to come 
and do with it, but we do know from other hackspaces that a laser cutter 
is a very good recruitment tool.

in short, yes. we should capitalise on this as much as possible, by
running various training and induction courses and shouting about them
as loudly as possible.

I also think we should try and make more of offering fabrication as a
service, the offered turn around would have to be in the days rather
than hours as it needs one of us to volunteer the time to do it, but it
would help raise awareness of the tools and facilities we have, and
potentially generate some addition income to upgrade and improve
services for everyone.

Someone needs to research what the going rates are for such services,
and where is good to list them. I know there are a few websites around
for listing 3D printing services, but i don't know about cnc and laser
cutting.

Upload a few things to razorlab.co.uk I guess. That also illustrates the
other project pieces to write that make it work beyond a cutter and
a fire extinguisher:

- Automated pricing and submission
- Automated validation
- Stock materials

and I imagine the large volume people also have cutters that can run
unsupervised (which is quite a different market).

Would it be possible to schedule some Linux tutorials?

I would like to better understand the Linux version used at the hackspace, I'm also tempted to put Linux on an old system I have in the attic seen as Linux can be more reliable than windows.

linux.

The CNC Workstation is running Fedora https://getfedora.org/

Maybe I can do a workshop of installing Fedora Live on a USB stick, and
running through the basic tools and apps.
 
I'm sure someone else will volunteer to do similar for Ubuntu or some
other distribution.

I had the same thought, its such a wide topic and is really quite stable 
these days its quite hard to work out what to include in a Linux tutorial.

Can you give us any idea what kind of things you would like to know how 
to do?

I recommend Ubuntu over Fedora generally, especially for beginners and 
hobbyists primarily as it is more popular as a desktop distribution so 
finding help and tools elsewhere on the internet is easier, its also 
what the hackspace laptops run.
People should be wary that distribution selection does tend to be a bit 
of a religious subject, and which one you select these days is not so 
important as they are all fairly stable with few notable exceptions.
Do any of the people who wish to learn have a preference or questions 
about distribution selection?

FWIW  I can recommend 110% Ubuntu 14.04   and 15.04 is due for release 23rd
April, in 10 days time.

I've seriously tried Suse, Mint, Kubuntu, Xubuntu (avoid) but for me Ubuntu
is outstanding.

Sounds good,
I would like to be able to use UBUNTU .. just dabbling,

but things like getting serial ports to work,
copying files, MBED especially, delete file does not 'ACTUALLY' work.

Message-ID: <552C32FF.7050004@sucs.org>

It works! It is not, however, safe to be used yet.

Two quick pulses with the test button and some post it notes have 
confirmed that the laser is operational, and earlier testing with the 
Windows software confirmed that the head moves in appropriate directions.

Before the cutter can be used we will need to light proof a few sections 
of the enclosure and fit some proper interlocking to the panels and 
cooling arrangements.

Until then, see the attached photo of slightly scorched/perforated 
post-it notes. For reference, these were produced with the shortest 
pulses possible given the current trigger arrangement at ~1/4 power.

I would +1 Ubuntu as the Raspberry Pi Raspian isn't too disimilar and as
makers we might end up needing to roll out a Pi setup.

Probably we would need to go back to basics, maybe if we all brought in an
old laptop, installed Linux on it, and then got it up to some level of
usefulness... Maybe covering some of basics like Adding users, groups,
chmod, chown etc... Then onto adding packages etc

Some of the useful stuff like top, df and a thousand other things that says
admins know and the rest of us are ignorant of... Stuff like pipe etc...
The bash based stuff that will be really useful when we progress to mucking
about with A Pi

If the software we would need would be available locally on HD, stick or
cd to save us all downloading it at the same time.

I have a R Pi crib sheet on my google drive

https://docs.google.com/document/d/18AOuK_QNqpDPMuctAHFapvfO53yPAfc9G4IZXiIUkj8/edit?usp=docslist_api

Pretty basic stuff, but if it might be handy. I rarely need to get my hands
dirty with Linux these days and I have forgotten so much of it now. (I've
owned Linux web servers since 1997)

Very cool. 

Quick request though, can someone from the Hackspace contact Alayne with the Risk Assessment - if you don?t have one, we can run through one with you.

Cheers

I know pretty much nothing of Linux, chmod, chown and pipe are completely foregin to me.

Things I would like to learn are....


Choosing a version.

Installation (maybe dual-boot on a blank hdd so i could still use windows).

How to navigate and do basic tasks like connect to a network, load a webpage.

Things like users, permissions.

Adding or creating a shared drive to local network.

Adding hardwear Installing printer native devices such as wifi, sound etc.

Installing software like arduino, drafsight flatcam etc.



P.s. Found my keys, yay. See you guys Saturday.


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

The laser tube interlock circuit, which is where we would want to
install it, is only going to be a logic level thing.

currently that circuit goes just to the 'laser on/off' toggle on the
panel, and would be the obvious place to install such things.

a more traditional E-Stop mushroom button could be inserted in the motor
control power lines if necessary, but we are less concerned about that
right now.

The total cost of the components will be ?1.80, or ?4 if you require a 
breadboard.

See you tomorrow,

Great thanks, 
we can have a look on monday how best to fit them,
should be a pile of small nuts and bolts in the 3d printer 'vitamins'
box, just got to pick a good site

Message-ID: <CAAEY5oOs5jOxFXHBs=mZxp7LFs-ty-vVn_7rZhSKtZCCnHt7WA@mail.gmail.com>

I'm trying to carefully rorate a metre long light weight pole through 180
degrees.

I've got a Stepper Motor type 28BYJ-48 working fine, but I'm sure I need
one that is a bit more chunky !

I've got a 17HS16-2004S NEMA 17 (42 x 42 mm) high torque 1.8 degree stepper
motor  on the way with a controller card

But I've not got a very clear vision yet what else I might need and if
there is any Arduino example software listing that would be good to use to
get it to work ?

I don't want to reinvent the wheel !  *LOL*

Any thoughts anyone ?

Use a 'step stick' thats what all of the 3D printer control circuits are
built around, they do a way better job that messing about with H-bridges
and a cheap and easy to use.

There are many kinds, all with similar/same pinouts, DRV882x or A4988
are the most popular ones. e.g. https://www.pololu.com/product/1182

prices vary from ?1 each (aliexpress) to about ?5 each, depending on
supplier.

The control is just two data lines, 'step' and 'direction'. every pulse
on the step line moves the motor on one step (or microstep) in the
current direction.  no driver library required.

Think about pulleys or gears.  I don't know if you want the pole to stop at
a particular point or not.  Inertia in 1m pole will be higher than braking
force of a stepper motor.  So it will continue to spin after you stop the
motor. Giving you an unpredictable 180 plus rotation.

For a pulley arrangement look at t5  timing belts.  you can easily print
the pulleys using a reprap.  There are libraries on thingiverse.

A worm gear would be better,  but you can't print those.

Wow !  Loads of interesting links and ideas !

Its a very slow rotation, so inertia is not a problem.

Is a 'RAMPS 1.4' useful ?  what does it do ?

Many thanks to all who have responded !

It's an interface for all the stuff you need to drive a 3d printer, takes 5 step-sticks for stepper driving, has power MOSFETs to pwm the hotends and heated bed, and a bunch of inputs for end stops and thermistors. You plug it into an Arduino mega board, install some software like Marlin and it can run your printer, or mixed to control a CNC mill or laser cutter.   

Way over kill for driving one motor :)

So a single 'step-stick' would do it ?

Many thanks for responding !

Thanks everyone who came along today.

The worksheets that I handed around at the start are now available at 
http://swansea.hackspace.org.uk/Users/Tswsl1989

If anyone has any suggestions/corrections for the sheets, let me know.

The function generator that we attempted to build is available here:

Yes, one motor one step-stick.

Control it from an arduino, or any other micro, just needs two GPIO
lines.

I can see me digging out my oscilloscope this week and making mine work
come hell or high water!

:-) :-) :-)

I have been armed with sufficient ammunition now to build an active speaker
with a bandpass filter for speech to use with my HAM radio. That is a huge
plus.

Diolch once more

New page on the wiki

This is a page for people to list ideas they have for workshops and
tutorials that they can offer, or that they would like to see.

I have seeded it with a few ideas for workshops that i haven't offered
before.

You do not need to be an 'expert' in a subject to run a session on it,
some of the best have been 'lets explore this interesting thing
together' sessions, the subject can be anything you think others might
find interesting. 

So if you have an idea for something thats not on the list, login, edit
the page and add it.

If it's there already login and hit the 'like' button so that we know
people want to see it.

   - Current draw : 92mA
   - Operating Frequency : 100pps
   - Dimensions : 35mm x 28mm
   - 4 mounting holes
   - ULN2003 chip
   - A, B, C, D four-phase status LED

___


Now the divide by 64 seems to be a stumbling block ?

What I'm trying to do is use the 1.8 degree characteristic to get 100
pulses to achieve a total rotation of 180 degrees to the shaft.

A period of anything up to two minutes is fine for the 180 degree rotation.

So far it twitches a bit but not much else e.g. not very exciting.

Should the   stepsPerRevolution = 1440 be changed to stepsPerRevolution =
6400 ?

Maybe I've got the Arduino pins a tad wrong ?

How many wires are on your stepper motor ????

If 5 then uln 2003 ok.
But you need to find out which of the 5 wires is central tap....

If only 4 wire s then you need a double H Bridge. .. like 3D printer. ..CNC
ETC.

bizarrely enough I drew up the circuit last week on white board in hackers.
..

Let us know what wires you have.
If 4 wire motor.
Come Monday.  I lend you a driver board

It's a easy motor driver ... search on sparkfun.com

Update:-

It may not be very riveting but the change to 6400 (and the deletion of */
at the top of the code worked fine !

the count for
90  deg was 500  and  time 52.5 secs
180 deg was 1000             105
270 deg was 1500             157.5
360 deg was 2000             210 secs ( 3m 30 secs)  approx

(I hope !)

Now this might be very boring, but it also might help a Newbie to stepper
motors test their new purchase out too !

Anyone know if the controller board can make it go in reverse ?

:  )))

Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] Tutorial suggestions and requests

Hi all,

I?ve added some suggestions for DIYBio workshops on the list. If you?d be interested in having a biolab at the Swansea Hackspace, similar to how London Hackspace has London Biohackspace (http://biohackspace.org/ <http://biohackspace.org/>), please let me know! 

I?ve built some lab equipment during the past 10 weeks, taking part in the first BioHack Academy (http://waag.org/nl/project/biohack-academy-biofactory <http://waag.org/nl/project/biohack-academy-biofactory>), that I?d happily donate to the hackspace, including:
- sterile hood
- webcam microscope
- photospectrometer
- magnetic stirrer

Cheers,
Gerrit

Hi there,

Has there been any progression with the prosthetics project? I just came
across this article that discusses some of the issues surrounding 3D
printed prosthetics:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/03/11/the-reality-of-3d-printed-robo-hands.html

Cheers,
Gerrit

no, they did not reply to my message to them so I let it be - I didn't like
to push it - they are pretty clear where they want to go and have managed
to raise thousands of pounds already

thank you - they are identical to the ones Tim has, maybe he picked them up
;-) if he has two pairs I am sure he will let me know :-) :-) these are
very easy to ID, the 3.5m jack is scuffed. We think he left the end hanging
out of the door of the car :-o

This is something that occurred to me the other day also.

I don't see any reason why not, as long as one made of acrylic or
similar was acceptable.

I know that commercial ones are laser cut aluminium sheet, 
but I imagine that something like 1mm acrylic sheet would work just as
well for short run boards.

i see claims that 3 to 4 mil mylar is the ideal for solder paste, 
i am surprised, i would have expected it to be much thicker.

so something in the 75 - 100 micron range ideally

just dont get the PVC version by mistake :)

i have also seen examples of mylar sheet stretched over a frame used to
make silkscreens for t-shirt printing, so lots of possibilities.
