[[user:jarrod|Jarrod]] and his worker elves are taking a little bit of Noisebridge to MakerFaire, the world is so lucky.

Here are some preview pictures of [[user:jarrod|Jarrod]] and his worker elves' setup for Maker Faire this year. There were a few more tweaks underway, but this was mostly all there.

[[user:jarrod|Jarrod]] and his worker elves would like to emphasize that Noisebridge is an important resource for people to learn and make. We should be more than a "makerspace", we should be a community with a social mission to bring educative and creative autonomy to as many as possible. We have had a rough patch but we have done some good work during the recent [[Reboot]] to work toward this mission and '''it is time to attract some attention.'''

[[user:jarrod|Jarrod]] and his worker elves note that people are getting projects done here and this public hackspace thing may still be a good idea. Let us use this upcoming MakerFaire to get people to come to Noisebridge and to come back to Noisebridge. Let's connect with other Hackerspaces and strengthen our relationships. Let's meet other hackers and makers, and bring projects into our space so that others may learn from them.

See the Build Night recapitulations at the bottom of this page for progress.

= All about that booth =

The plan is have a good time and to pack a whole bunch of Noisebridge into a 10' x 10' space. Within MakerFaire we are going to do our best to create a mini Hackspace that will support the ideas and creations that others will bring. Here is the idea:

[[File:Noisebridge_MakerFaire_Booth_AXON.jpg|1024px]]

Essentially we are creating a place where people can hack during the show and '''the ultimate exhibit is our community and our projects'''.

Nevertheless, the base for this space is going to be some custom furniture pieces that will be made at Noisebridge, with love, for hacking. (When all you know is design and woodworking, every answer tends to be custom furniture). The centerpiece of this affair so far, is a new work table with built in power outlets and a bright flashy Noisebridge logo on the top. A table that people can pull up a chair to and start working on a project. If there are other things that we should try to incorporate into a hacking table, let us know. The back of the booth is a set of rearrangeable cabinets that will store tools and projects for use during the show and support and audio/video system for demonstrations and presentation during the show.

Here are more specific plans for the booth furniture, I recommend the .pdf:

UPDATED NB Logo Channel drawing: [[file:Noisebridge_MakerFaire_Booth_TableDetail_REV_01.pdf]]

The .pdf of the current working drawings for for the table that we are building is here:

https://noisebridge.net/images/a/a7/Noisebridge_MakerFaire_Table.pdf

'''Every Thursday 19:00 to 22:00''' we will meet at Noisebridge, likely in the shop, to work on building things for the booth. This includes the furniture and whatever else is being prepped for MakerFaire. Updates to this process will be posted on the mailing list and the blog.

=== Well made furniture /= mini hackerspace, we need participation!===

* '''how do we demonstrate Noisebridge in a 10' x 10' area, is it possible to also enjoy this?'''
* help build out the booth, add to it, decorate it, make it better, make it more 'Noisebridge'
* lend/bring your projects, demonstrate your projects, and teach others you know
* work on projects at the show, and have projects for others to work on
* spread the word about us needing help and get people to come meet us.

=== Pre-MakerFaire Noisebridge Maker Meet and Greet ===

Ideally, everyone would get to go down to MakerFaire and check out the neat stuff. For those that can't we should have an event to bring in Makers who are in town to talk about their projects and meet up with other hackers/makers. I'm thinking a special Five minutes of Fame and a mellow cocktail party.

=== Schedules and Specifics ===

Thanks to you potential worker elves for getting this far. This was mostly worked out prior to the start of MakerFaire. You potential worker elves could still help with this.

=== Planned projects for Display and Presentations/Demonstrations ===

JH - We have ~16' of linear distance inside the logo. So I'm considering purchasing this from the ebay vendor:
-- LEDs/m: 60, Board's Color: White, Waterproof Grade: Epoxy IP65, Length: 5m, Price:US $74.99

LED Controller/driver:
Arduinos work fantastically. A Pro Mini works great and cheap.
JH- https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11113 is this correct? $9.95
HT- Yeah that works perfectly.

Power for microcontroller and LEDs:
Just need a 5v power supply of some sort, can be salvaged from existing cords by splitting the wire open and solder onto on/off switches.
JH- Something like this? https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12889 $5.95
HT- Yeah this works perfectly.
I expect we need something separate for the LEDs. We will have >16 feet of them in the table.
You make a good point, do you know of any electrical engineer that can do calculations on the electricity draw?

100-1000uf capacitor:
To prevent sudden power drops.
