Hzeller: Added LDGraphy and video. Point to parts.noisebridge.net.

[https://github.com/hzeller on Github]; [https://plus.google.com/+HennerZeller/posts on G+]

Software hacker (C, C++), Hardware hacker (mostly general digital electronics, Atmel microcontrollers, next step will be FPGAs). Have a CNC machine at home operating with my [https://github.com/hzeller/beagleg own motor controller software]
A little bit of woodworking (building my own furniture).

Espresso addict.

I like to play with LEDs<br/>
like writing this [https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix rpi-rgb-led-matrix software] to control cheap RGB LED matrices with the Raspberry Pi (http://youtu.be/ZglGuMaKvpY)<br/>
.. or was involved in the [https://twitter.com/noisebridge/status/734451170090049536 award winning] Noisebridge [[FlaschenTaschen]] (Code [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen here])<br/>
.. or the resulting http://spixels.org/ code and PCB to control up to 16 SPI RGB LED strips.

One of my current projects is to build a controller for 3D printers, CNC machines and laser cutters: The [https://github.com/hzeller/beagleg BeagleG software] and a [https://github.com/hzeller/bumps cape] for the Beaglebone Black.

Useful for making PCBs is my [http://ldgraphy.org/ LDGraphy] project. There is also of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9-JK2Nc7w0 a video of it in action].

For Noisebridge I made the [https://github.com/hzeller/rfid-access-control RFID reader system] that gets you into Noisebridge.
Also a running Noisebridge project is the [https://github.com/hzeller/stuff-org electronic parts organization tool]: https://parts.noisebridge.net/

Hzeller: /* Network protocol and Utilities to send content */

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

===What's the project?===

The Award Winning FlaschenTaschen is a 10’ by 9’ (3m x 2.75m) video display made out of clear glass bottles, milk crates, RGB LED strings (with a total of 1575 LEDs), and a controller board. Each bottle is capped with a single addressable RGB LED. The bottoms of the bottles act as lenses for the emitted light. The project has a German name as homage to c-base’s [http://matelight.rocks/ Mate-Light] project. After seeing Mate-Light at Chaos Computer Congress, we were inspired to build a similar project at Noisebridge to present at the 2016 Maker Faire.

Another inspirational build is the [http://www.zuloark.com/muro-de-botellas/ Muro de botellas] project.

Our goal was to have it completed for [http://makerfaire.com/bay-area/ Maker Faire 2016] to be shown as part of our booth and we were two weeks ahead of schedule. After the MakerFaire, the display will be permanently installed within Noisebridge and possibly made available for events.

Our code and hardware that drives up to 16 LED strips from a Raspberry Pi is on [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen Flaschen-Taschen github]. We only need 9 strips in this project, one for each crate column. The update rate of the full FlaschenTaschen display is up to 160fps!

=== Network protocol and Utilities to send content ===

The network protocol is quite simple: essentially send a PPM picture (P6) in a UDP packet to ft.noise:1337.

For instance, try the following all in the comfort of you shell (in bash, to be precise, that conveniently provides the /dev/udp pseudo-path):

bash$ jpegtopnm myimage.jpg | stdbuf -o64k pnmscale -xysize 45 35 > /dev/udp/ft.noise/1337

Flaschen Taschen accepts a footer that defines an offset in x,y space as well as a layer z index. To write images which cover the default demo visualization, you can send a higher -index by appending this footer after your sends. We still need to make sure to send everything in one packet, so on the shell this is a bit awkward as we first have to store the full content temporarily in a file. For instance, to position the image at (x=0 y=0, z=5):

bash$ ( jpegtopnm myimage.jpg | pnmscale -xysize 45 35; echo "0 0 5" ) > /tmp/tmp-out ; cat /tmp/tmp-out > /dev/udp/ft.noise/1337

There are [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen/tree/master/client#flaschen-taschen-clients utilities in the repository] to send and scroll arbitrary images (including animated gifs), videos or text, so the above, sending an image to layer 5, would be as simple as:

bash:flaschen-taschen/client$ ./send-image -l5 myimage.jpg

There is a C++ and Python client library that you can use right away to send images to FlaschenTaschen including a couple of examples.
It is simple to write your own client in any language that supports networking (See [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen/blob/master/doc/protocols.md#protocols protocols section] in documentation).

===FlaschenToy===

One of the examples in the [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen Flaschen Taschen github] is FlaschenToy.

This is a Flask app that sends the contents of a WebGL canvas to the Flaschen Taschen. The web page takes [http://nehe.gamedev.net/article/glsl_an_introduction/25007/ GLSL] code from an text area, and displays it on the Flaschen Taschen using the the [https://www.shadertoy.com/howto ShaderToy] conventions.

It is currently hosted on [https://noisebridge.noise noisebridge] you can try it at: http://noisebridge.noise/FlaschenToy

I've not added it to the to the startup scripts, so if that site is dead you can restart on by running ''sudo run.sh'' in ~/github/flaschen-taschen/examples-api-use/flask (you'll need to be logged in as noisebridge and have the admin password)

Try pasting some of the shaders from the ShaderToy page: https://www.shadertoy.com/browse into the text area

Most examples will just work. E.g. this meta ball example:
https://www.shadertoy.com/view/Mss3WN

The code is currently in my fork of the project (will get merged into main page in the future):

===Rough Take-down Procedure===

Flaschen Taschen takedown and setup notes: (does not include electronics)
2016-06-13 draft by [[user:jarrod|Jarrod]]

! Take pictures of how things are setup for reference!

! Take care to collect all the parts as you disassemble, there are many parts and some are small, but important!

*1_Remove all power cables from rear. Make note of how they are run to the power supplies

*2_Disconnect all data connections, remember there are typically two per crate. Take a photo of how they are routed to the breakout board on the raspberry pi.
NOTE: The crates have an orientation. Remember this. Take a photo

*3_Remove the 2” green tie down strap. This is tricky there are two metal latches in line with the handles that need to be pulled in tandem to release the ratchet. While pulling on the latches it may be necessary to add tension to the tie down to get it to release, since we do not tighten it very much during install.

*4_The wooden vertical supports are connected to four of the top crates by a wood screw
Remove these screws. The supports are kind of floppy and are really only meant to be supportive in a direction parallel to the face of the display
During setup any forward or backward lean of the display can be adjusted slightly by screwing these supports back on to the top crates at a distance that pushes them forward or pulls them backward

*5_Once the cables and supports are disconnected the RELEASABLE cable ties can be removed from the crates. Please do not cut the ties, as you will need them to set the display back up

*6_Stack the crates in stacks of 4. This is a good height to move with a hand truck. Make sure that the power jacks and date cables are not hanging over the edges of each crate before another crate is placed on top of it, so as to not damage the wires and connectors.

NOTE: The bottom row of crates do not have bottles with LEDs, so as to provide a space for the hardware and lift the display of the floor for improved visibility.

NOTE: The two end crates have 2x4 supports in them. The others have plywood. The assembly is not symmetrical, but each crate has at least one support. Together they are almost exactly as long as the base. These also get zip tied together, but they are harder to tie.

*7_Stack up the base crates. These are also good for holding all the hardware, zip ties, bolts (in a bag), and cables for transport.

*8_Remove the vertical supports from the base by unscrewing them. (iirc: this is done with a 7/16” wrench/socket.) Have someone hold the vertical supports while unscrewing. Keep all parts and set aside. NOTE how those washers are used. It is important that bolts not be able to rip through the wood.

*9_Flip the base over. There are three bolts in the center that hold it together. Remove these.

Congratulations, You have now turned the FlaschenTaschen into parts for shipping.

The setup procedure is essentially the reverse of this. Just remember:

*A_Bring tools. Wrenches for the bolts, a screwdriver for the tops of the vertical supports, and a ladder.

*B_The crates have an orientation. At the forward edge (display side) of each crate there is Velcro. The hook side should be on the top and the loop side should be on the bottom. This is typical for all crates except the base which only have the hook side Velcro on the top.

*C_Do not tighten the tie down very much. Its purpose is merely to squeeze the crates together so they can’t move individually. The zip ties do most of the work

*D_Try to align the forward faces of the crates as best as possible, but realize that it will never come out perfect. If a column is going out of vertical the crates above can be installed a little fore or aft of the face of the display to make up for it.

*E_People have already sent images of genitalia to be displayed on the screen, so get over it.

The setup procedure is essentially the reverse of this. Just remember:

*A_Bring tools. Wrenches for the bolts, a screwdriver for the tops of the vertical supports, and a ladder.

*B_The crates have an orientation. At the forward edge (display side) of each crate there is Velcro. The hook side should be on the top and the loop side should be on the bottom. This is typical for all crates except the base which only have the hook side Velcro on the top.

*C_Do not tighten the tie down very much. Its purpose is merely to squeeze the crates together so they can’t move individually. The zip ties do most of the work

*D_Try to align the forward faces of the crates as best as possible, but realize that it will never come out perfect. If a column is going out of vertical the crates above can be installed a little fore or aft of the face of the display to make up for it.

*E_People have already sent images of genitalia to be displayed on the screen, so get over it.

===What's the project?===

[[File:Award_Winning_FlaschenTaschen.jpg|640px]]

===FlaschenToy===

One of the examples in the [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen Flaschen Taschen github] is FlaschenToy.

This is a Flask app that sends the contents of a WebGL canvas to the Flaschen Taschen. The web page takes [http://nehe.gamedev.net/article/glsl_an_introduction/25007/ GLSL] code from an text area, and displays it on the Flaschen Taschen using the the [https://www.shadertoy.com/howto ShaderToy] conventions.

It is currently hosted on [https://noisebridge.noise noisebridge] you can try it at: http://noisebridge.noise/FlaschenToy

I've not added it to the to the startup scripts, so if that site is dead you can restart on by running ''sudo run.sh'' in ~/github/flaschen-taschen/examples-api-use/flask (you'll need to be logged in as noisebridge and have the admin password)

Try pasting some of the shaders from the ShaderToy page: https://www.shadertoy.com/browse into the text area

Most examples will just work. E.g. this meta ball example:
https://www.shadertoy.com/view/Mss3WN

The code is currently in my fork of the project (will get merged into main page in the future):

Flaschen Taschen

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

===What's the project?===

The Award Winning FlaschenTaschen is a 10’ by 9’ (3m x 2.75m) video display made out of clear glass bottles, milk crates, RGB LED strings (with a total of 1575 LEDs), and a controller board. Each bottle is capped with a single addressable RGB LED. The bottoms of the bottles act as lenses for the emitted light. The project has a German name as homage to c-base’s [http://matelight.rocks/ Mate-Light] project. After seeing Mate-Light at Chaos Computer Congress, we were inspired to build a similar project at Noisebridge to present at the 2016 Maker Faire.

Another inspirational build is the [http://www.zuloark.com/muro-de-botellas/ Muro de botellas] project.

Our goal was to have it completed for [http://makerfaire.com/bay-area/ Maker Faire 2016] to be shown as part of our booth and we were two weeks ahead of schedule. After the MakerFaire, the display will be permanently installed within Noisebridge and possibly made available for events.

Our code and hardware that drives up to 16 LED strips from a Raspberry Pi is on [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen Flaschen-Taschen github]. We only need 9 strips in this project, one for each crate column. The update rate of the full FlaschenTaschen display is up to 160fps!

[[File:ft-pi-breakout.jpg|200px|The breakout board, driving up to 16 SPI LED strips.]]

=== Network protocol ===

The network protocol is quite simple: essentially send a PPM picture (P6) in a UDP packet to ft.noise:1337.

For instance, try the following all in the comfort of you shell (in bash, to be precise, that conveniently provides the /dev/udp pseudo-path):

bash$ jpegtopnm myimage.jpg | stdbuf -o64k pnmscale -xysize 45 35 > /dev/udp/ft.noise/1337

Flaschen Taschen accepts a footer that defines an offset in x,y space as well as a layer z index. To write images which cover the default demo visualization, you can send a higher -index by appending this footer after your sends. We still need to make sure to send everything in one packet, so on the shell this is a bit awkward as we first have to store the full file temporary. For instance, to position the image at (x=0 y=0, z=5):

bash$ ( jpegtopnm myimage.jpg | pnmscale -xysize 45 35; echo "0 0 5" ) > /tmp/tmp-out ; cat /tmp/tmp-out > /dev/udp/ft.noise/1337

There are [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen/tree/master/client#flaschen-taschen-clients utilities in the repository] to send and scroll arbitrary images (including animated gifs), videos or text, so the above, sending an image to layer 5, would be as simple as:

bash:flaschen-taschen/client$ ./send-image -l5 myimage.jpg

There is a C++ and Python client library that you can use right away to send images to FlaschenTaschen including a couple of examples.
It is extremely simple to write your own client in any language that supports networking (See [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen/blob/master/doc/protocols.md#protocols protocols section] in documentation).

===Rough Take-down Procedure===

Flaschen Taschen takedown and setup notes: (does not include electronics)
2016-06-13 draft by [[user:jarrod|Jarrod]]

! Take pictures of how things are setup for reference!

! Take care to collect all the parts as you disassemble, there are many parts and some are small, but important!

*1_Remove all power cables from rear. Make note of how they are run to the power supplies

*2_Disconnect all data connections, remember there are typically two per crate. Take a photo of how they are routed to the breakout board on the raspberry pi.
NOTE: The crates have an orientation. Remember this. Take a photo

*3_Remove the 2” green tie down strap. This is tricky there are two metal latches in line with the handles that need to be pulled in tandem to release the ratchet. While pulling on the latches it may be necessary to add tension to the tie down to get it to release, since we do not tighten it very much during install.

*4_The wooden vertical supports are connected to four of the top crates by a wood screw
Remove these screws. The supports are kind of floppy and are really only meant to be supportive in a direction parallel to the face of the display
During setup any forward or backward lean of the display can be adjusted slightly by screwing these supports back on to the top crates at a distance that pushes them forward or pulls them backward

*5_Once the cables and supports are disconnected the RELEASABLE cable ties can be removed from the crates. Please do not cut the ties, as you will need them to set the display back up

*6_Stack the crates in stacks of 4. This is a good height to move with a hand truck. Make sure that the power jacks and date cables are not hanging over the edges of each crate before another crate is placed on top of it, so as to not damage the wires and connectors.

NOTE: The bottom row of crates do not have bottles with LEDs, so as to provide a space for the hardware and lift the display of the floor for improved visibility.

NOTE: The two end crates have 2x4 supports in them. The others have plywood. The assembly is not symmetrical, but each crate has at least one support. Together they are almost exactly as long as the base. These also get zip tied together, but they are harder to tie.

*7_Stack up the base crates. These are also good for holding all the hardware, zip ties, bolts (in a bag), and cables for transport.

*8_Remove the vertical supports from the base by unscrewing them. (iirc: this is done with a 7/16” wrench/socket.) Have someone hold the vertical supports while unscrewing. Keep all parts and set aside. NOTE how those washers are used. It is important that bolts not be able to rip through the wood.

*9_Flip the base over. There are three bolts in the center that hold it together. Remove these.

Congratulations, You have now turned the FlaschenTaschen into parts for shipping.

The web page takes [http://nehe.gamedev.net/article/glsl_an_introduction/25007/ GLSL] code from an text area, and displays it on the Flaschen Taschen using the the [https://www.shadertoy.com/howto ShaderToy] conventions.

It is currently hosted on [https://noisebridge.noise noisebridge] you can try it at: http://noisebridge.noise/FlaschenToy

I've not added it to the to the startup scripts, so if that site is dead you can restart on by running ''sudo run.sh'' in ~/github/flaschen-taschen/examples-api-use/flask (you'll need to be logged in as noisebridge and have the admin password)

Try pasting some of the shaders from the ShaderToy page: https://www.shadertoy.com/browse into the text area

Most examples will just work. E.g. this meta ball example:
https://www.shadertoy.com/view/Mss3WN

The code is currently in my fork of the project (will get merged into main page in the future):

Flaschen Taschen

Hzeller: /* Network protocol */

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

===What's the project?===

The Award Winning FlaschenTaschen is a 10’ by 9’ (3m x 2.75m) video display made out of clear glass bottles, milk crates, RGB LED strings (with a total of 1575 LEDs), and a controller board. Each bottle is capped with a single addressable RGB LED. The bottoms of the bottles act as lenses for the emitted light. The project has a German name as homage to c-base’s [http://matelight.rocks/ Mate-Light] project. After seeing Mate-Light at Chaos Computer Congress, we were inspired to build a similar project at Noisebridge to present at the 2016 Maker Faire.

Another inspirational build is the [http://www.zuloark.com/muro-de-botellas/ Muro de botellas] project.

Our goal was to have it completed for [http://makerfaire.com/bay-area/ Maker Faire 2016] to be shown as part of our booth and we were two weeks ahead of schedule. After the MakerFaire, the display will be permanently installed within Noisebridge and possibly made available for events.

Our code and hardware that drives up to 16 LED strips from a Raspberry Pi is on [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen Flaschen-Taschen github]. We only need 9 strips in this project, one for each crate column. The update rate of the full FlaschenTaschen display is up to 160fps!

=== Network protocol ===

The network protocol is quite simple: essentially send a PPM picture (P6) in a UDP packet to ft.noise:1337.

For instance, try the following all in the comfort of you shell (in bash, to be precise, that conveniently provides the /dev/udp pseudo-path):

bash$ jpegtopnm myimage.jpg | stdbuf -o64k pnmscale -xysize 45 35 > /dev/udp/ft.noise/1337

Flaschen Taschen accepts a footer that defines an offset in x,y space as well as a layer z index. To write images which cover the default demo visualization, you can send a higher -index by appending this footer after your sends. We still need to make sure to send everything in one packet, so on the shell this is a bit awkward as we first have to store the full file temporary. For instance, to position the image at (x=0 y=0, z=5):

bash$ ( jpegtopnm myimage.jpg | pnmscale -xysize 45 35; echo "0 0 5" ) > /tmp/tmp-out ; cat /tmp/tmp-out > /dev/udp/ft.noise/1337

There are sample utilities in the repository to send and scroll arbitrary images (including animated gifs), videos or text.
There is a C++ class that you can use right away to send images to FlaschenTaschen including a couple of examples.
It is also extremely simple to write your own client in any language that supports networking (See [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen/blob/master/doc/protocols.md#protocols protocols section] in documentation).

===Rough Take-down Procedure===

Flaschen Taschen takedown and setup notes: (does not include electronics)
2016-06-13 draft by [[user:jarrod|Jarrod]]

! Take pictures of how things are setup for reference!

! Take care to collect all the parts as you disassemble, there are many parts and some are small, but important!

*1_Remove all power cables from rear. Make note of how they are run to the power supplies

*2_Disconnect all data connections, remember there are typically two per crate. Take a photo of how they are routed to the breakout board on the raspberry pi.
NOTE: The crates have an orientation. Remember this. Take a photo

*3_Remove the 2” green tie down strap. This is tricky there are two metal latches in line with the handles that need to be pulled in tandem to release the ratchet. While pulling on the latches it may be necessary to add tension to the tie down to get it to release, since we do not tighten it very much during install.

*4_The wooden vertical supports are connected to four of the top crates by a wood screw
Remove these screws. The supports are kind of floppy and are really only meant to be supportive in a direction parallel to the face of the display
During setup any forward or backward lean of the display can be adjusted slightly by screwing these supports back on to the top crates at a distance that pushes them forward or pulls them backward

*5_Once the cables and supports are disconnected the RELEASABLE cable ties can be removed from the crates. Please do not cut the ties, as you will need them to set the display back up

*6_Stack the crates in stacks of 4. This is a good height to move with a hand truck. Make sure that the power jacks and date cables are not hanging over the edges of each crate before another crate is placed on top of it, so as to not damage the wires and connectors.

NOTE: The bottom row of crates do not have bottles with LEDs, so as to provide a space for the hardware and lift the display of the floor for improved visibility.

NOTE: The two end crates have 2x4 supports in them. The others have plywood. The assembly is not symmetrical, but each crate has at least one support. Together they are almost exactly as long as the base. These also get zip tied together, but they are harder to tie.

*7_Stack up the base crates. These are also good for holding all the hardware, zip ties, bolts (in a bag), and cables for transport.

*8_Remove the vertical supports from the base by unscrewing them. (iirc: this is done with a 7/16” wrench/socket.) Have someone hold the vertical supports while unscrewing. Keep all parts and set aside. NOTE how those washers are used. It is important that bolts not be able to rip through the wood.

*9_Flip the base over. There are three bolts in the center that hold it together. Remove these.

Congratulations, You have now turned the FlaschenTaschen into parts for shipping.

The setup procedure is essentially the reverse of this. Just remember:

*A_Bring tools. Wrenches for the bolts, a screwdriver for the tops of the vertical supports, and a ladder.

*B_The crates have an orientation. At the forward edge (display side) of each crate there is Velcro. The hook side should be on the top and the loop side should be on the bottom. This is typical for all crates except the base which only have the hook side Velcro on the top.

*C_Do not tighten the tie down very much. Its purpose is merely to squeeze the crates together so they can’t move individually. The zip ties do most of the work

*D_Try to align the forward faces of the crates as best as possible, but realize that it will never come out perfect. If a column is going out of vertical the crates above can be installed a little fore or aft of the face of the display to make up for it.

*E_People have already sent images of genitalia to be displayed on the screen, so get over it.

Noiseschool

2016-12-11T17:33:08Z

Hzeller: /* Proposed Classes */

Noiseschool is an initiative, of sorts, to create decent quality training material for various skill sets. The goal is that each class is complete enough to take a person from minimal/no relevant knowledge to being able to use the relevant tools somewhat proficiently and without guidance. The classes are intended to be project based, building skills in the process of building things. They're also intended to be multi-media, at least in that they should be available both in illustrated written form and also video form, as well as being held regularly, in person at Noisebridge. It's intended that the multiple formats (in-person, text, and video classes) are all kept in sync, so please only make substantial changes to content/structure in a way that's well communicated to everyone involved in running classes.

== Proposed Classes ==

As these classes become available, they will be moved to a section for available classes w/ schedule information and class page links.

Flaschen Taschen

2016-06-05T16:30:19Z

Hzeller: /* List of Devices at Noisebridge running the FlaschenTaschen Protocol */

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

===What's the project?===

FlaschenTaschen is a 10’ by 9’ (3m x 2.75m) video display made out of clear glass bottles, milk crates, RGB LED strings (with a total of 1575 LEDs), and a controller board. Each bottle is capped with a single addressable RGB LED. The bottoms of the bottles act as lenses for the emitted light. The project has a German name as homage to c-base’s [http://matelight.rocks/ Mate-Light] project. After seeing Mate-Light at Chaos Computer Congress, we were inspired to build a similar project at Noisebridge to present at the 2016 Maker Faire.

Another inspirational build is the [http://www.zuloark.com/muro-de-botellas/ Muro de botellas] project.

Our goal was to have it completed for [http://makerfaire.com/bay-area/ Maker Faire 2016] to be shown as part of our booth and we were two weeks ahead of schedule. After the MakerFaire, the display will be permanently installed within Noisebridge and possibly made available for events.

Our code and hardware that drives up to 16 LED strips from a Raspberry Pi is on [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen Flaschen-Taschen github]. We only need 9 strips in this project, one for each crate column. The update rate of the full FlaschenTaschen display is up to 160fps!

[[File:ft-pi-breakout.jpg|200px|The breakout board, driving up to 16 SPI LED strips.]]

Here is the first view of the completed project

[[File:ft-back-of-the-crates.jpg|200px|Back of the crates]]

Backstage view.

=== Network protocol ===

The network protocol is quite simple: essentially send a PPM picture (P6) in a UDP packet to ft.noise:1337.

For instance, try the following all in the comfort of you shell (in bash, to be precise, that conveniently provides the /dev/udp pseudo-path):

bash$ jpegtopnm myimage.jpg | pnmscale -xysize 45 35 > /dev/udp/ft.noise/1337

Flaschen Taschen accepts a footer that defines an offset in x,y space as well as a layer z index. To write images which cover the default demo visualization, you can send a higher -index by appending this footer after your sends. For instance, to position the image at (x=0 y=0, z=5):

bash$ { jpegtopnm myimage.jpg | pnmscale -xysize 45 35; echo 0 0 5; } | cat > /dev/udp/ft.noise/1337

(There are also two additional protocols that can be enabled on the server-side: OpenPixelControl and PixelPusher).

We added an extension to the PPM format that allows to set an (x/y)-offset and a stacking-layer, see details on github.

There are sample utilities in the repository to send and scroll arbitrary images (including animated gifs), videos or text.
There is a C++ class that you can use right away to send images to FlaschenTaschen including a couple of examples.
It is also extremely simple to write your own client in any language that supports networking (See [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen/blob/master/doc/protocols.md#protocols protocols section] in documentation).

Hzeller: /* What's the project? */

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

===What's the project?===

FlaschenTaschen is a 10’ by 9’ (3m x 2.75m) video display made out of clear glass bottles, milk crates, RGB LED strings (with a total of 1575 LEDs), and a controller board. Each bottle is capped with a single addressable RGB LED. The bottoms of the bottles act as lenses for the emitted light. The project has a German name as homage to c-base’s [http://matelight.rocks/ Matelights] project. After seeing Matelights at Chaos Computer Congress, we were inspired to build a similar project at Noisebridge to present at the 2016 Maker Faire.

Another inspirational build is the [http://www.zuloark.com/muro-de-botellas/ Muro de botellas] project.

Our goal was to have it completed for [http://makerfaire.com/bay-area/ Maker Faire 2016] to be shown as part of our booth and we were two weeks ahead of schedule. After the MakerFaire, the display will be permanently installed within Noisebridge and possibly made available for events.

Our code and hardware that drives up to 16 LED strips from a Raspberry Pi is on [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen Flaschen-Taschen github]. We only need 9 strips in this project, one for each crate column. The update rate is up to 160fps!

[[File:ft-back-of-the-crates.jpg|200px|Back of the crates]]

=== Network protocol ===

The network protocol is quite simple: essentially send a PPM picture (P6) in a UDP packet to ft.noise:1337.

For instance, try the following all in the comfort of you shell (in bash, to be precise, that conveniently provides the /dev/udp pseudo-path):

bash$ jpegtopnm myimage.jpg | pnmscale -xysize 45 35 > /dev/udp/ft.noise/1337

(There are also two additional protocols that can be enabled on the server-side: OpenPixelControl and PixelPusher).

We added an extension to the PPM format that allows to set an (x/y)-offset and a stacking-layer, see details on github.

There are sample utilities in the repository to send and scroll arbitrary images (including animated gifs), videos or text.
There is a C++ class that you can use right away to send images to FlaschenTaschen including a couple of examples.
It is also extremely simple to write your own client in any language that supports networking (See [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen/blob/master/doc/protocols.md#protocols protocols section] in documentation).

Our goal was to have it completed for [http://makerfaire.com/bay-area/ Maker Faire 2016] to be shown as part of our booth and we were two weeks ahead of schedule. After the MakerFaire, the display will be permanently installed within Noisebridge and possibly made available for events.

Our code and hardware that drives up to 16 LED strips from a Raspberry Pi is on [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen Flaschen-Taschen github]. We are only using 9 strips in this project, one for each crate column.

Here is the first view of the completed project

=== Network protocol ===

The network protocol is quite simple: essentially send a PPM picture (P6) in a UDP packet to ft.noise:1337.

For instance, try the following all in the comfort of you shell (in bash, to be precise, that conveniently provides the /dev/udp pseudo-path):

bash$ jpegtopnm myimage.jpg | pnmscale -xysize 45 35 > /dev/udp/ft.noise/1337

(There are also two additional protocols that can be enabled on the server-side: OpenPixelControl and PixelPusher).

We added an extension to the PPM format that allows to set an (x/y)-offset and a stacking-layer, see details on github.

There are sample utilities in the repository to send and scroll arbitrary images (including animated gifs), videos or text.
There is a C++ class that you can use right away to send images to FlaschenTaschen including a couple of examples.
It is also extremely simple to write your own client in any language that supports networking (See [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen/blob/master/doc/protocols.md#protocols protocols section] in documentation).

Electronic Parts

Hzeller: /* Enter parts in database */

==== Enter parts in database ====

<h5>Process Batch: do {</h5>
Process in general: look at https://parts.noisebridge.net/status which numbers have not been entered yet. Decide which you want to work on and go to the electronics area and grab bunch of drawers with the numbers. Go to your computer, open https://parts.noisebridge.net/form, type in the drawer-number in the big field on top and press return. There is an 'edit pen' right next to the value field to edit the content if you are in the space (if not, try http://pegasus.noise:3000/ )

<h5>Identify</h5>
Identify the parts in the drawers: choose a category (or enter a new category in the 'other' field), enter part values, description and possibly datasheet (sometimes you have to find the datasheet to know what something is. Use OctoPart, DigiKey or Mouser to help. If you have a datasheet URL, copy it in the appropriate field).

Once you submit this form, you are automatically placed to the next number, which makes entering quick.

<h5>Some tips for component types</h5>
First, familiarize yourself with the available category types in the input form. Use it to give a highlevel category to the component you are looking at.

For '''[https://parts.noisebridge.net/search#resistor resistors]''', just write the raw value+decimal suffix. So '''100''' for 100 Ohm or '''5.6k''' for 5600 Ohm. Use the number of significant digits given on the resistor. If it is a 3 + 1 stripe resistor, these are two significant digits (e.g. '''12k'''), on a (4 + 1) stripe resistor, they are three significant digits (e.g. '''23.4k'''). If you know the tolerance of the resistor (gold = 5%, brown = 1%), then add it in the description field.

[[File:electronic-parts-resistory-entry.png|300px]]

For '''[https://parts.noisebridge.net/search#capacitor capacitors]''', write the value + unit (pF, nF, uF -- with 'u' being used for 'micro'). E.g. '''2200uF''' or '''100nF'''. The following image shows an aluminum capacitor entry ('Aluminum Cap' category)

[[File:electronic-parts-alucap-entry.png|300px]]

For '''[https://parts.noisebridge.net/search#transistor transistors]''', '''ICs''' etc. write the component value as seen on the package such as '''74LS132'''. For transistors, also record additional information found in the datasheet (see below in ''Description'')

[[File:electronic-parts-transistor-entry.png|300px]]

Some component types don't have a value or something, they need a more free-form value, e.g. '''8 Pin header, 0.1"'''

If the component cannot be determined, check the '''? MYSTERY''' category, so that it is easy to find for someone to have another look.

If the box is '''empty''', just write 'empty' in the name/value.

See [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_7400_series_integrated_circuits popular names for Integrated Circuits] on Wikipedia.

<h5>Footprint</h5>
In the ''Footprint'' field, enter the footprint of the part if you know it; Not so much for resistors or capacitors (though distance of leads might be useful: e.g. 7.5mm)
Search for '''TO220''', '''TO-92''' or '''TO-3''' for pictures of common transistor footprints to familiarize.
Dual-in-Line cases (almost all ICs we have there), are typically abbreviated DIL-something, e.g. DIL14 or DIL16 (for 14 or 16 pins).

<h5>Description</h5>
In the ''Description'' field, add a one line description if it is an IC (e.g. '''Dual Schmitt-Trigger''', you find these in the datasheet).
For components such as resistors, capacitors or transistors it is good to have some semi-structured way to enter additional parameters of the part, such as '''Ice=5A, Uce=50V''' for transistors or '''P=0.25W''' for resistors, '''U=16V''' for aluminum capacitors.
You find these values in the datasheet if you had to search for the part online. If you do electronics, ask yourself what you would like to be able to search for to narrow down to a set of components (I will make searching ranges possible later).
Use the Search tab to find examples; e.g. search for '[https://parts.noisebridge.net/search#transistor transistor]' to get examples for transistors or '[https://parts.noisebridge.net/search#P= P=]' for resistors that have this value set.

<h5>Notes</h5>
Put in notes things that are not really component related, but something like 'needs picture' if it is a really strange part that would be better with an image.

<h5>} while (!tired_yet)</h5>
Return the drawers back to where they came from and take the next batch. Repeat until tired :)

<h5>If there are multiple components in a drawer (Or just one or two components in a drawer)</h5>
If you find a drawer that has one number, but there seem to be multiple components inside, we need to separate them, because there is only one ID per component. If it is only a few stray components between the 'real' components, just sort them out and keep in a mixed-parts drawer -- we can take care of that later, no reason to waste time on this one yet.

If the there are more than a few stray components, it makes sense to separate them and put in a separate drawer. Use a drawer that already has a label but is empty - you find them on the status page (they are crossed out), or by [https://parts.noisebridge.net/search#empty searching for it]. Put the components you want to separate in that drawer and change the entry in the database from 'empty' to the new value.

(If there are no empty drawers with a label left, take a new empty drawer and put a '''blue''' tape sticker on it, and just put the component inside - we can label and put in the database later)

Flaschen Taschen is planned to be 9' 9" wide 7' 7" tall (about 3m x 2.3m) and host 1575 lights. See the drawings at the bottom of this page for the current design information.

We'd like your help with this. Very soon we will be scheduling build nights, build/drink ups, and drink ups. So please keep in touch.

In this [http://blog.noisebridge.net/post/139304835544/i-walked-into-noisebridge-yesterday-and-was blog post] you see some work-in-progress video.

===Drink Ups===
This project requires a lot of bottles, so we'll want to setup a bunch of "Shut Up, Drink Up, Hack Up" events at Noisebridge.

===Requirement for Bottles===
[[File:Ref beer bottle large.jpg|thumb|right|12 oz is the right size]]
* Approximately 12 oz (which is the average beer/soda bottle size)
* Clear glass only
* Rinsed out with water

===Bottles are known to work===

* Most glass soda bottles with flat sides, such as Jarritos.
* Corona
* Some nicer ciders like Crispin
* Club Mate

===Where to buy in bulk===
''List out where we could buy some of these in bulk for the drink ups''

Costco should have Corona for <= $1 a bottle.

=== Server ===
There is a server running on ft.noise that supports three protocols:

* [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen/blob/master/doc/protocols.md#standard-flaschen-taschen-protocol FlaschenTaschen framebuffer protocol]: receives UDP packet with a PPM image on port 1337
* Runs http://openpixelcontrol.org/ server on standard port 7890
* Provides [http://www.heroicrobotics.com/products/pixelpusher pixel pusher] compatible control. Can be easily be controlled using [https://processing.org/ processing] (use the in-app browser to get the third-party lib for PixelPusher and play with the examples).

The native protocol is particularly simple: for instance, try the following all in the comfort of you shell (in bash, to be precise, that conveniently provides the /dev/udp pseudo-path):

bash$ jpegtopnm myimage.jpg | pnmscale -xysize 20 20 > /dev/udp/ft.noise/1337

There are utilities in the repository to send arbitrary images (including animated gifs) or even videos. It is also extremely simple to write your own client in any language that supports networking (See [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen/blob/master/doc/protocols.md#protocols protocols section] in documentation).

* [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen/blob/master/doc/protocols.md#standard-flaschen-taschen-protocol FlaschenTaschen framebuffer protocol]: receives UDP packet with a PPM image on port 1337
* Runs http://openpixelcontrol.org/ server on standard port 7890
* Provides [http://www.heroicrobotics.com/products/pixelpusher pixel pusher] compatible control. Can be easily be controlled using [https://processing.org/ processing] (use the in-app browser to get the third-party lib for PixelPusher and play with the examples).

The native protocol is particularly simple: for instance, try the following all in the comfort of you shell (in bash, to be precise, that conveniently provides the /dev/udp pseudo-path):

bash$ jpegtopnm myimage.jpg | pnmscale -xysize 20 20 > /dev/udp/flaschen-taschen.local/1337

There are utilities in the repository to send arbitrary images (including animated gifs) or even videos. It is also extremely simple to write your own client in any language that supports networking (See [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen/blob/master/doc/protocols.md#protocols protocols section] in documentation).

===What's the project?===
We are building a display at Noisebridge inspired by projects such as [http://www.zuloark.com/muro-de-botellas/ Muro de botellas] or [http://matelight.rocks/ Mate Light].
Our goal is to have this completed for [http://makerfaire.com/bay-area/ Maker Faire] to be shown as part of our booth. Then the display will be permanently installed within Noisebridge.

This idea was triggered by the [http://www.c-base.org/ c-base] [https://github.com/jaseg/matelight matelight display] shown at the 32c3 and the 2015 Chaos Communication Camp. Our code that drives many LED strips from a Raspberry Pi is on [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen Flaschen-Taschen github].

Flaschen Taschen is planned to be 9' 9" wide 7' 7" tall (about 3m x 2.3m) and host 1575 lights. See the drawings at the bottom of this page for the current design information.

We'd like your help with this. Very soon we will be scheduling build nights, build/drink ups, and drink ups. So please keep in touch.

In this [http://blog.noisebridge.net/post/139304835544/i-walked-into-noisebridge-yesterday-and-was blog post] you see some work-in-progress video.

===Drink Ups===
This project requires a lot of bottles, so we'll want to setup a bunch of "Shut Up, Drink Up, Hack Up" events at Noisebridge.

===Requirement for Bottles===
[[File:Ref beer bottle large.jpg|thumb|right|12 oz is the right size]]
* Approximately 12 oz (which is the average beer/soda bottle size)
* Clear glass only
* Rinsed out with water

===Bottles are known to work===
Check out this [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zdod43IjRIaBHS1P-Tu2uoYlBOLzDRJtwIGOXMmya3A/edit#gid=0 amazing matrix of beverages and sellers]!
* Most glass soda bottles with flat sides, such as Jarritos.
* Corona
* Some nicer ciders like Crispin
* Club Mate

===Where to buy in bulk===

We'd like your help with this. Very soon we will be scheduling build nights, build/drink ups, and drink ups. So please keep in touch.

===Drink Ups===
This project requires a lot of bottles, so we'll want to setup a bunch of "Shut Up, Drink Up, Hack Up" events at Noisebridge.

===Requirement for Bottles===
[[File:Ref beer bottle large.jpg|thumb|right|12 oz is the right size]]
* Approximately 12 oz (which is the average beer/soda bottle size)
* Clear glass only
* Rinsed out with water

===Bottles are known to work===
Check out this [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zdod43IjRIaBHS1P-Tu2uoYlBOLzDRJtwIGOXMmya3A/edit#gid=0 amazing matrix of beverages and sellers]!
* Most glass soda bottles with flat sides, such as Jarritos.
* Corona
* Some nicer ciders like Crispin
* Club Mate

File:Corona.jpg|12 oz Corona
File:Crispin.jpg|2 oz Crispin
File:Matebottles.png|11.2 oz Mate bottle on the left
</gallery>

===Where to buy in bulk===
''List out where we could buy some of these in bulk for the drink ups''

Costco should have Corona for <= $1 a bottle.

=== Server ===
There is a server running on flaschen-taschen.local right now that supports three protocols:

* Receives UDP packet with a PPM image on port 1337
* Runs http://openpixelcontrol.org/ server on standard port 7890
* Provides pixel pusher control via standard beacon. Can be easily plaeyd with with processing.

For instance, try the following (in bash that conveniently provides the /dev/udp pseudo-path:)

bash$ jpegtopnm myimage.jpg | pnmscale -xysize 20 20 > /dev/udp/flaschen-taschen.local/1337

===What's the project?===
We are going to build a [http://matelight.rocks/ Mate Light]-inspired display at Noisebridge. Our goal is to have this completed for MakerFaire for use there. Then the display will be permanently installed within Noisebridge.
