&lt;div&gt;== Al Billings ==&lt;br /&gt;
Al is a software tester working at the Mozilla Corporation on Firefox and Thunderbird. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He&#039;s been on the Internet since the good ol&#039; days (late 1980s) when people used to hack the modem pool in the engineering department at his local university in Seattle in order to get online. He once ran the pagan.UUCP node and is a former moderator for soc.religion.gnosis and soc.religion.shamanism from the early 90s. He ran a Neopagan oriented BBS, &#039;&#039;&#039;The Sacred Grove&#039;&#039;&#039;, in Seattle in the early 90s. During the dot.com boom years, he managed to get hired in tech and worked at Spry on one of the first commercial web browsers and then nine years at Microsoft, mostly on Internet Explorer as a tester and project manager. He left Microsoft in Seattle in 2006 to move to California, taking a job at MobiTV, an Emeryville startup.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Al recently received his Master of Arts in Humanities from CSU, Dominguez Hills, and has a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from the University of Washington. He will be entering the doctoral program at the [http://www.gtu.edu Graduate Theological Union] in Fall, 2009. He blogs at [http://www.openbuddha.com Open Buddha].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;A workshop to get your Arduino talking to your computer.  This is *NOT* a tutorial as such, but a time when a bunch of people who want to get going with Arduinos start doing it.  If there are problems we can all work them out together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You&#039;ll need a laptop, an arduino and a cable to connect it.  There are a couple options, depending on if you have an Arduino or an Arduino clone.  For an Arduino, all you need is a USB cable.  For most Arduino clones (such as the BoArduino, a kit by Ladyada, which are available at Noisebridge for $17) you need a USB to TTL serial cable (which is available at Noisebridge for $19).  A breadboard will be handy for some arduino types (such as BoArduino) but not for others.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== When ==&lt;br /&gt;
The hard part!  This will not be recurring which makes it a little easier... Need to give people time to order their arduinos if they don&#039;t already have one (but note that BoArduinos and cables are available at Noisebridge), so how about 2 weeks out at minimum.  Let&#039;s try a table.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[Category:Projects]]&lt;br /&gt;
From reprap.org:&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Reprap.jpg|thumb|right|Reprap image from reprap.org]]&lt;br /&gt;
:RepRap is short for Replicating Rapid-prototyper. It is the practical self-copying 3D printer shown on the right - a self-replicating machine. This 3D printer builds the parts up in layers of plastic. This technology already exists, but the cheapest commercial machine would cost you about €30,000. And it isn&#039;t even designed so that it can make itself. So what the RepRap team are doing is to develop and to give away the designs for a much cheaper machine with the novel capability of being able to self-copy (material costs are about €500).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The RepRap project is a bit optimistic in their description -- their &amp;quot;self-replicating&amp;quot; machine is capable of printing all of the non-commodity parts of their machine, but still needs stepper motors, steel rods, screws, nuts, control circuitry, and of course a human to assemble the pieces.&lt;br /&gt;

** The [http://www.reprap.org/bin/view/Main/McWire_Cartesian_Bot_1_2 McWire]&lt;br /&gt;
* Electronics&lt;br /&gt;
** control electronics design (something better than &amp;quot;one Arduino to rule them all&amp;quot; please)&lt;br /&gt;
* purchase parts&lt;br /&gt;
* * Consult the [[McWire BOM]] for what to buy&lt;br /&gt;
* build it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some parts of RepRap can be developed independently.  In particular, the [http://reprap.org/bin/view/Main/ExtruderMechanicalParts Extruder] &amp;quot;print head&amp;quot; is pretty much independent of the chassis mechanism, and looks like a fun project.  Might want to consider other print mechanisms too; this one may be specific to a few of the thermoplastics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Status ==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[User:Turkshead|TurksHead]] has started building a [http://www.reprap.org/bin/view/Main/McWire_Cartesian_Bot_1_2 McWire] chassis. (10/22)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[User:Adi|adi]] is researching print materials and print heads. (10/23)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;=== Start-Up Costs ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This section is for estimates of start-up costs. Story so far:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Move-in cost for space (assume 3x month&#039;s rent) : $6000 assuming $2000/mo rent&lt;br /&gt;
* Three months&#039; rent reserve : $6000 assuming $2000/mo rent&lt;br /&gt;
* Cost of incorporation as non-profit/LLC/whatever (if we do that) : ??&lt;br /&gt;
* Initial insurance cost : ??&lt;br /&gt;
* Initial cost for drinks to sell : ?? (May be zero due to Club Mate donations?)&lt;br /&gt;
* Initial cost for space improvements, making keys, etc. : ??&lt;br /&gt;
* Noisebridge Costco card (if desired vs. some members buying on their own) : $50&lt;br /&gt;
* Initial equipment costs (not including donations) : ?? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Estimate so far for start-up cost: $12050 + ??. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[DavidMolnar]] ideally would like to see 2x whatever this estimated number is as &lt;br /&gt;
starting capital, but that may be overkill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Monthly Expenses and Dues ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SWAG at monthly expenses:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* $2k rent (nets ~1k sq ft)&lt;br /&gt;
* $300 utilities (I&#039;m TOTALLY making this up just to have a number, not even sure what all I mean it to include)&lt;br /&gt;
** PG&amp;amp;E, Water? (shared w/ NoStarch?), trash/recycling, insurance split over a year, ISP (I recommend sonic.net)&lt;br /&gt;
* $100 misc (toilet paper, juice, resistors)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Expected Costs for buying drinks: ? (Check CostCo prices)&lt;br /&gt;
Expected Revenue from selling drinks: ? (Next number tells us what this is ; )&lt;br /&gt;
Expected Profit from selling drinks: ~300-800$&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Q.&#039;&#039;&#039; (by [[DavidMolnar]] editing w/o logged in): Is this realistic? metalab clears this much, but assuming we can come out of the gate and obtain the same revenue seems optimistic.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;A.&#039;&#039;&#039; Yeah, 300$ is very realistic - that&#039;s like 8 drinks per day sold at a $1.2 profit. Our initial calculations were without drinks too because we didn&#039;t believe it. But we had huge sales really quickly. People tend to drink a lot while hanging around at a Hacker Space. --[[User:Enki|Enki]] 12:33, 18 January 2008 (PST)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* $221 at meeting, held by Mitch Altman&lt;br /&gt;

Al is a software tester working at the Mozilla Corporation on Firefox and Thunderbird. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He&#039;s been on the Internet since the good ol&#039; days (late 1980s) when people used to hack the modem pool in the engineering department at his local university in Seattle in order to get online. He once ran the pagan.UUCP node and is a former moderator for soc.religion.gnosis and soc.religion.shamanism from the early 90s. He ran a Neopagan oriented BBS, &#039;&#039;&#039;The Sacred Grove&#039;&#039;&#039;, in Seattle in the early 90s. During the dot.com boom years, he managed to get hired in tech and worked at Spry on one of the first commercial web browsers and then nine years at Microsoft, mostly on Internet Explorer as a tester and project manager. He left Microsoft in Seattle in 2006 to move to California, taking a job at MobiTV, an Emeryville startup.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Al recently received his Master of Arts in Humanities from CSU, Dominguez Hills, and has a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from the University of Washington. He blogs at [http://www.arcanology.com In Pursuit of Mysteries].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Al loves clowns and his wife.&lt;br /&gt;
