== Safety information and training ==
We should have a bunch of helpful information here on safe operation of the device and who to go to to be trained on its use here.

Please visit [http://www.z136.org/ ANSI Z136 Safe Use of Lasers] and [http://www.laserinstitute.org/PDF/Z136_1_s.pdf Copy of ANSI Z136.1] for laser safety information.

''Here are [[Lasercutter/Notes | notes on Laser Cutter Use]] uploaded on March 9, 2012''

* Please speak to one of the people who is experienced with this laser cutter before using it so we can show you where everything is, how to setup the software, how to use it without breaking it, basic safety tips, etc.

* Read the instructions first. [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/files/FSL_40w_Hobby_Laser_Manual.pdf Manual]

* Never turn the current up above 15 milliamps, that will fry the laser tube quickly. Usually just a few milliamps is more than enough power to do what you want. Using too much power on wood or paper will start a fire. Instead of turning up the power, turn down the speed and/or use multiple passes. Always use the minimum power you can do to the job to prevent unsightly burn marks and extend the life of the laser tube.

* Never operate the laser cutter unattended because sometimes things catch fire. A squirt bottle with water is kept next to the laser to put out small fires. A fire extinguisher is in the corner of the room for larger issues.

* If little flames shoot up off of your material, turn down the power. Little flames can start fires and will fog up the lens, which is difficult to clean.

* It is easy to make the laser head bang against the side or top of the unit. This causes an awful noise and must be very bad for the gears. If the laser cutter makes a banging noise, stop it immediately and reposition the laser head before the next cut, or resize the artwork.

* Do not cut plastics which create hazardous fumes when burned. Acrylic is ok. PVC and vinyl releases the very toxic gas phosgene when heated. As a general rule, chemical resistant plastics should not be put in the laser cutter.

* Be very careful with the silver honeycomb, especially when removing it from the machine to clean little bits of debris off of it. It bends very easily and once bent can not be straightened out completely. It is mostly a cosmetic issue, but pressing your thumb in the wrong place will cause permanent marks.

* Do not laser materials that make an excessive amount of smoke. A little smoke is ok, but a large amount can fog up the lens. If it is making a lot of smoke, use more passes at a lower power.

* When cutting paper, turn down the power to a couple milliamps, or it will catch fire.

* The proper operation of the laser requires you to start your cut with the energy nob set to the minimum setting, never turning it past half... If you turn it past half way... about 10-12mw the laser will die within the first few passes of printing

== Software - Windows - RetinaEngrave ==

Any program can print to the laser cutter, I had success using Inkscape and Gimp. Gimp is not very good for doing vector cuts, a major limitation. Inkscape is not the easiest software to learn but it is not difficult either.

==== Requirements ====

Windows XP or Windows 7

==== How to install ====

# Download and install USB drivers
# Download and install RetinaEngrave
# Download and install Direct Print drivers

==== How to use ====

'''Raster'''

# Get an image, any format
# Load the image into The Gimp and make any necessary changes
# Start RetinaEngrave
# Print the image to the Full Spectrum Engineering Driver
# Switch to RetinaEngrave. Set the speed to 75% or less. Press Go.

'''Vector'''

# Get an image, any format
# Start Inkscape and create a new A4 Landscape document
# Drag the image icon from Winows Explorer into the new document
# Select all. Go to the Path menu and select Trace Bitmap
# Print the image. Select the printer "Full Spectrum Engineering Driver"
# Switch to RetinaEngrave. Select the Vector tab.
# Set the speed on the right hand side. Press Go.

== Software - CUPS Driver ==
Amir Hassan and Marius Kintel are working on open source laser cutter drivers through the CUPS interface. Primarily they're working on getting it operational with an Epilog cutter, but would like to expand past that soon. [https://github.com/Metalab/ctrl-cut ctrl-cut]

== Software - OS X Driver - VisiCut ==
A possible OS X driver for our laser cutter.
https://amedeo.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/groups/visicut/

== Quirks ==

* Vector fonts with lots of curves can take a long time for RetinaEngrave to process before it starts cutting. For instance, a single 5 letter word in Arial takes only 3 seconds to start in raster but 30 seconds to start in vector. The same word in the Pokimon font takes just 5 seconds to start.

* If your PC is connected to the laser cutter with the usb cable, and you have the RetinaEngrave software and drivers installed, and you still can't get the machine to acknowledge you (e.g. you try to press the "jog" buttons and the laser head doesn't move) try these things:
** There is a button between the "jog right" and "jog left" button. It shifts between UNLOCK and LOCK. Togge it and try again!
** There is a big red emergency stop button on top of the laser cutter. It might be pressed down, which means the machine won't work. ''Twist'' the button to unpress it.

* It is easy to make the laser head bang against the side or top of the unit. Don't let it do that.

* If you are doing a raster engrave, you can not set the speed too high. Here is some artwork on paper, raster engrave, 250 dpi 85% speed: [http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t265/alanrockefeller/IMG_0190.jpg]. Here is the same image at 71% speed: [http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t265/alanrockefeller/IMG_0192.jpg]
At 500 dpi, 75% speed was too much. 72% was also too fast.
I also saw the problem at 250 dpi 71% and 1000 dpi 65%. Full spectrum engineering said on Feb 25 that this problem is caused by the belt being too tight. [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=310]

* You don't need to watch the laser every single second, but you should at least stay in the little room while it's on and keep a general eye on it. Why? Because if you're using something burnable, there's a chance it can catch fire. Which is bad.

* Turn off the machine when not in use. The air pump gets hot if left on for long periods. It is not quite hot enough to cause a problem, but it will last longer if it is not always on, and turning it off will keep dust from accumulating inside the laser unnecessarily.

== Things you can put in the laser cutter ==

* Paper (cardstock could have additives that should not go in the cutter, test a sample)
* Acrylic and several other plastics
* Wood (careful of fire, treated wood could have additives)
* Cotton
* Many other fabrics (not moleskin books because they can have high chlorine content)
* Cell phones (check for chlorine in the plastic)
* Laptops (check for chlorine in the plastic)
* Leather
* Glass
* Anodized/coated metal
* Chocolate
* Linoleum
* "Speedy-cut" rubber

== Things you should not put in the laser cutter ==

'''WARNING''': Because many plastics are dangerous to cut, it is important to know what kind you are planning to use. Make has a How-To for identifying unknown plastics with [http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2011/09/identifying-unknown-plastics.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+makezineonline+%28MAKE%29&utm_content=Google+Reader a simple process].

|-
! Material
! DANGER!
! Cause/Consequence
|-
| PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride)/vinyl/pleather/artificial leather/Moleskine notebooks
| Emits pure chlorine gas when cut!
| Don't ever cut this material as it will ruin the optics, cause the metal of the machine to corrode, and ruin the motion control system.
|-
| Thick ( >1mm ) Polycarbonate/Lexan
| Cut very poorly, discolor, catch fire
| Polycarbonate is often found as flat, sheet material. The window of the laser cutter is made of Polycarbonate because ''polycarbonate strongly absorbs infrared radiation!'' This is the frequency of light the laser cutter uses to cut materials, so it is very ineffective at cutting polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is a poor choice for laser cutting.
|-
| ABS
| Emits cyanide gas and tends to melt
| ABS does not cut well in a laser cutter. It tends to melt rather than vaporize, and has a higher chance of catching on fire and leaving behind melted gooey deposits on the vector cutting grid. It also does not engrave well (again, tends to melt).
|-
| HDPE/milk bottle plastic
| Catches fire and melts
| It melts. It gets gooey. Don't use it.
|-
| PolyStyrene Foam
| Catches fire
| It catches fire, it melts, and only thin pieces cut. This is the #1 material that causes laser fires!!!
|-
| PolyPropylene Foam
| Catches fire
| Like PolyStyrene, it melts, catches fire, and the melted drops continue to burn and turn into rock-hard drips and pebbles.
|-
| Fiberglass
| Emits fumes
| It's a mix of two materials that cant' be cut. Glass (etch, no cut) and epoxy resin (fumes)

== Tips ==

* Before putting your material into the laser cutter, test your image on paper. If you don't test on paper first you will ruin a lot of the material you are cutting. Once it looks good on paper you can place your material on the paper so you know it is positioned properly, and refocus if the material is thick.

* When engraving raster images, they go much faster if you use a lower DPI. The lowest setting is 250 DPI and that is enough for most things. Use higher DPI only with high resolution images and with materials that show the difference.

== To Do ==

* Build a table and shelves for the laser and laser materials
* Collect images that are good to use with the laser cutter

== Cutting power / speeds ==
''[http://wiki.nycresistor.com/wiki/Laser_Power NYCR's Laser Power table]''

* Typing paper - 100% speed, 3 milliamps
* 2mm acrylic - 25% speed, 8 milliamps
* 5/8ths inch acrylic - 1% speed, 12 milliamps, 2 passes
* Plastic with metalic coating - 5 - 7 milliamps rastor, 3 ma vector
* Linen - 70% speed, 4 milliamps, 1 pass
* 1/8″ plywood: Regulate the current to just a pinch under 15mA and use 3 Passes / 18.75% Speed / 100% power. The reduced speed (25% to 18.75% – a 25% reduction) seems to account for the needed power, while the reduced number of passes (also a 25% and thus proportional reduction) reduces the excess char that is produced by the laser. (figured out by elijah at noisebridge)
* "Speedy-cut" rubber - Raster: 15% speed, 3 milliamps, 1 pass.
* 1/16 inch basswood, to cut through: 34% speed, 14% power (of 15 milliamps max set on machine), 7 passes
* basswood to etch: 20% speed, 10% power (of 15 milliamps max set on machine), 1 pass

== Specifications ==

* Maximum material size: 13" x 16"
* Maximum engravable area: 9.5" x 14.5"
* Maximum material thickness: 2.75"
* CO2 Laser Wavelength: 10.6um
* Maximum Laser Power: 40W

Anyone can learn to solder! Even if you have never made anything in your life, you can learn this very useful and enjoyable skill. It really is fun! [[User:maltman23|Mitch]] has taught tens of thousands of people to solder all around the world, and he can teach you, too! Add yourself to the ever increasing community!

=== Topics ===
As interest warrants:
* soldering (everything from through-hole to SMD rework)
* breadboarding
* powering your circuit (bench power supplies, ATX hacking, batteries)
* making LEDs blink and fade
* programming microcontrollers
* using AVR / Arduino / Boarduino to make circuits easier
* using oscilloscopes / multimeters to debug circuits
* reverse engineering circuits
* Designing PCBs using GEDA and EagleCAD

=== Who? ===
Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience level or age. If you have never made a circuit before and have no idea where to start, bring a few dollars ($10 to $30 to cover materials costs of a Brain Machine kit or other cool kits) and build it. Everyone gets personal attention, and everyone will learn enough to complete their project. If you have experience, please come and enjoy working on your project with others -- and share what you know!

=== Why? ===
Learn and share with others of all skill levels! You can come with an idea, or a question, or a circuit you want to hack. You can research ideas on the Internet ahead of time and come put them into practice! Or, you can learn with a large selection of easy-to-make kits that are available each week.

=== What can I bring to help? ===
No need to bring anything -- just yourself and your desire to play, learn, and/or share. We have everything you need. But if you like, you can bring: 
* Your own tools (we have all you need, but you can bring your own)
* Arduino / clones
* USB - serial dongle for your Arduino
* breadboards
* If you bring your laptop, we can set it up to program microcontrollers
* 9V or AA or AAA or other batteries (a bulk donation would be great)
* parts for your own project(s)

=== I am a blank slate! What should I do? ===
* make one of the many easy kits that are available each week.
* make an Arduino fade an RGB LED in varying color patterns.
* make a microcontroller illuminate a 3x3 LED matrix in varying shapes.
* reverse engineer something you're curious about.
* come to Noisebridge and brainstorm!

== Requirements of the hosting spaces for Mitch's workshops ==

Mitch will have all of the kits with him. There is no need for anyone to purchase kits from Mitch in advance.

Each space will need to provide the following to have a successful workshop: 
 
* For '''each participant''':
** 1 soldering iron, 15W to 40W
** 1 soldering iron stand
** 1 cellulose (not plastic) sponge (for cleaning the soldering iron tip)
** 1 small wire cutter (similar to [http://www.mpja.com/4in-Mini-Diagonal-Cutters/productinfo/16498+TL/ 10cm wire cutters])
** 1 or 2 AC outlets (with extension cords and/or AC power strips to make things work)
** 1 chair
** table space
** enough lighting so that people can see small things while soldering
 
* '''Each space''' will also need to have:
** 1 roll of good, thin, 60/40 (Sn/Pb), rosin core solder (similar to [http://www.mpja.com/032in-Dia-60-40-Kester-Solder/productinfo/19101+TL/ 0.81mm diameter solder with lead])
** 1 hot glue gun
** hot glue sticks that fit in the hot glue gun
** 1 small needle nose pliers (similar to [http://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-3504-Precision-Needle-Pliers/dp/B000NPR2KI/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1351481977&sr=8-5&keywords=needle+nose+pliers 10cm needle nose pliers])
** tip tinner (similar to [http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_2094215_-1 this])
** 1 wire strippers (similar to [http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_78992_-1 adjustable wire stipper])
** 1 solder sucker (similar to [http://www.mpja.com/prodinfo.asp?number=0041+TL this])
** 1 roll solder wick ([http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_41082_-1 similar to 2mm wide])
** 1 paper scissors
** a pile of alkaline AA batteries

''All of the above are good to have at your space so that you can continue to have soldering workshops long into the future.''
 
* For the Arduino For Total Newbies workshop, I also need:
** Projector
** Microphone and amplifier will be helpful
** Internet (wireless or wired) is helpful

= Makerbot Overview =

June 2013

There is a lot of great history in this wiki but it's frankly confusing. I'm going to rewrite the overview from a beginner's perspective.

* Please check out [[3DPrintBeginners|3D Printing for Beginners at Noisebridge]] wiki for more details

= Current Events =
== The Makerbots are not working (2013-05-16) ==

Some of the Makerbots are working.

=== MakerBot Cupcakes Not Working Because ReplicatorG Software is too Old===

* You have to use and older version ReplicatorG with these Makerbot Cupcakes. As of Replicator G ~version30 the newest versions are incompatible with the firmware these guys use.
ReplicatorG link: http://replicat.org/

* It is not obvious where to download versions older than 30 - the links seem to have been taken down. Maybe you can get it off the github repo?

There are three filament spools in operation now, with red, black and white ABS. Just pull out a bit of filament, guide it into the extruder of your chosen Makerbot (making sure to avoid any sharp turns), feed it through (with the nozzle heated), and print!

Nutjob (the Noisebridge bot) has had a number of major upgrades performed on it, including heated build platform and Mk 5 extruder. It is now working well. The standard ReplicatorG v29 software and profiles (choose Cupcake with Heated Build Platform) will work fine with it.

Go ahead and use it, the instructions here and on the Makerbot site are appropriate, with one caveat: there is a bug in the Makerbot profiles that will leave the heated build platform and steppers on, which is a fire hazard.

Before printing, install ReplicatorG version 29, run it, press Generate G-Code, select the profile you will use, press Locate, and find the file called end.gcode, and if it does not contain the M109, M104 and M18 codes, edit it to look like this:

<pre>
(end of the file, cooldown routines)
M104 S0
M109 S0
G91
G1 Z10
M18 (turn off steppers.)</pre>

This will turn off everything, leaving the Makerbot in a safe state.

White Rabbit (Gian Pablo's bot) has had its XY stage replaced with a printed one, and Z axis guide rods installed. It should work fine with the default profiles for a Cupcake with a Heated Build Platform (but do make the change described above). It works very well with ReplicatorG v29.

Scotch has a extruder mount made with Noisebridge's own laser cutter. It is the thing made out of green acrylic. Check in with Miloh before using it, it is still being debugged and enhanced. Scotch is not working now, it is waiting for a new extruder nozzle.

Another bot in the space is Andrew Rutter's Super Cupcake. This one is heavily modified and should under no circumstances be used without consulting Andrew.

Tip 'O The Day:

For smaller parts, make a Skeinforge profile where you change the Fill/Extra Shells setting to 0 (no extra shells) and the Fill/Infill Densiety to 1.0. This yields extremely strong and dimensionally accurate parts.

=How to Use the Makerbot=
if it breaks, we can fix it. don't be afraid of the makerbot! I've crashed it hundreds of times and only permanently broke something once.

====install some software first====

* You can make STL files in your browser! http://www.tinkercad.com/

* Install Java (if you don't already have it) - http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

* Install Python (if you don't already have it). http://www.python.org/download/

* Optionally, install PsyCo, it will make things run much faster. http://psyco.sourceforge.net/download.html

* get yourself a copy of replicatorg: http://replicat.org/download

ReplicatorG now includes various versions of the Skeinforge slicing utility, so no need to download and install separately.

ReplicatorG version 2.9 for Mac doesn't work - the control panel is missing, so it heats the platform and uploads stl files but doesn't heat or control the extruder. Use 2.7 instead!

ReplicatorG 0024 has a serious bug in some of the profiles for the Cupcake CNC Makerbot, it will not generate the instructions that turn off heated build platform and stepper motors. This is a potential fire hazard, as the steppers and the build platform can get very hot. Do this:

Find the file(s) called end.gcode, and if they do not contain the M109, M104 and M18 codes, edit them to look like this (you can just add them to the end - it doesn't hurt if they are repeated):

<pre>
(end of the file, cooldown routines)
M104 S0 (extruder to temperature 0)
M109 S0 (heated build platform to temperature 0)
G91
G1 Z10
M18 (turn off steppers.)</pre>

This will turn off everything, leaving the Makerbot in a safe state.

You are done.

====using the software====

* Start ReplicatorG.

* Open an STL file. You should see a 3D image of your model.

* Press the 'generate GCode' button on the right.

* You will be asked to choose a profile. Currently you are looking at Cupcake CNC Mk4, but very soon you will want Cupcake CNC Mk5 with Heated Build Platform.

* It will take a while to build the GCode for the model. Go talk to visitors to the space and tell them not to sleep here.

* Refer to the detailed instructions on the Makerbot site for more up-to-date tips and instructions (they change often): http://wiki.makerbot.com/how-to-print

====fire up the makerbot====

Instructions have been updated to reflect the (coming) new and improved Makerbot.

* turn on the makerbot PSU, it's a switch in the back
* plug in the makerbot usb cable
* run replicatorg (./replicatorg)
* (firmware should be updated)
* the first time you run it, machine->driver->cupcake CNC with heated build platform
* also machine->serial port, choose whatever serial port is being emulated via USB
* load filament
** loosen the extruder thumbscrew
** insert filament into the extruder, basically to the level of the motor axle (NOT all the way down into the nozzle - you do this so that you can more easily tell if the motor is working)
** tighten the extruder thumbscrew, just a little bit more than finger tight, enough to get a good grip between the drive gear and the filament - you can adjust this while printing, if the filament starts slipping
* click on the 4 arrows symbol (control panel)
** lay a small piece of paper on the platform
** remove any crud from the nozzle with bent nose pliers (hidden under the EFF hat)
** move X, Y to the center of the platform (you can do this by pressing Disable steppers, then moving it by hand)
** jog down in Z first in 10mm increments, then 1mm increments, until there is maximum drag force on the paper
** jog up in 0.1mm increments until the drag lessens
** click "set zero"
** at the bottom of the control panel there are some settings, set them in this order
*** Motor Speed (PWM): 255
*** Target Temperature: 220
*** Heated Build Platform: 120
*** Motor Control: Stop
** wait until the temperature is above 200 then try a test extrusion
*** move Z axis up 20mm or so
***click Motor Control: forward
*** wait for the filament to enter the extruder, and start coming out the nozzle
*** make sure the extruder motor is turning, there is a dot drawn on the axle with sharpie
*** if you accidentally start the motor before it's hot, you can fix it by slightly unscrewing the extruder thumbscrew and adjusting the filament
* the build platform should be plenty hot now
** there might be an IR thermometer in a little duct tape pouch thingy
** it should be around 120-130C for best results
* remove ooze from the nozzle with pliers
* zero the Z axis (ie. move it down until it near touches the platform)
* file->open the .gcode file you created earlier with skeinforge
* click 'build' (the solid kidney bean)
* if the first layer doesn't stick at all or peels loose immediately, adjust the z axis down by turning the pulley on top of the makerbot
* if the first layer starts getting fugly during the infill, with crap building up on the nozzle, adjust the z axis up a few steps until it looks perfectly flat with no "fuzz"
***note to self: get some pics and video of first layer too high, first layer too low, and verify zeroing procedure
* now since it probably screwed up somehow, hit stop and remove the grossness with the plastic scraper and/or pliers
* it should still be zeroed, and hopefully at the correct height adjustment now, so just click 'build' again
* if you can't get it to stick at all, the platform is probably at the wrong temperature.
** wait five minutes for it to warm up completely
[[File:Nophead_pulleys_side.jpg|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, side view|your part should look like this or better. I still hadn't tweaked the feedrate perfectly for colored plastic, hence the blobbiness.]]

* ok now presumably you're done printing and nothing went wrong.
** jog Z+ 20mm to give yourself some room
** wait for the piece to cool down, 3 to 5 minutes should be enough
** now just peel it off with your hand
** if you let the piece cool all the way down, maybe 10-15 minutes, it will just "pop" off the build platform by itself
*** be careful, the part may still be soft and can deform
*** don't use a knife if at all possible, it will mess up the Kapton coating on the platform - just wait for it to cool
*** it's easier if you remove the build platform - it's held on with magnets

==== tweaking skeinforge ====
[[File:Nophead_pulleys_top.jpg|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, top view|note the incomplete infill on the right; this was due to improper perimeter width settings. note the square teeth on the left; this is because "stretch" is turned on. this is a good thing.]]
there are about 300 different "craft" settings in skeinforge, and they all interrelate in confusing ways. here's a quick overview of the important ones:
*carve->layer height: should be about 0.8*nozzle hole diameter, ship default is 0.4
*carve->width over height: should be about 1.45, if threads in flat parts show gap make this value smaller
*speed->flow rate: 255
*speed->feed rate: start around 35mm/s
*fill->infill solidity: 0.25 is adequate and not too slow. higher for stronger parts
*fill->infill pattern: controls whether you get hashbrowns or honeycombs
*comb keeps it from driving through empty spaces and making stringies
*raft prints a waffle grid thingy to keep the corners held down - will be disabled for heated build platform
*raftless - don't use it, instead turn off the raft checkbox when generating GCode in RepG, use outline to generate a lead-in
*oozebane is useless, forget about it
*jitter is good, set it to a large value like 100
*stretch makes corners un-rounded, but can cause data overload stuttering if "stretch from distance" is too small
*temperature is usually set to 230, but newer extruders can print fine with temperatures as low as 205C. You might need to lower all the temperatures in order to print tall skinny objects.
*wipe should be turned off
*outline should be turned on, it draws a rectangle around the first layer which lets you tweak the Z axis distance and ensure adhesion

You may want to create a profile with an alternative set of settings. In the Generate GCode dialog, select the default profile for your machine (mostly likely Cupcake with Heated Build Platform), duplicate it and call it "SuperSolid" or something like that, and make the following changes:

*Fill/Extra Shells -> 0 (there are a number of extra shells parameters - make all of them zero)
*Fill/Infill Density -> 1.0 (this will make solid objects)

Use this profile for parts that need to be extra strong or precise, ie. working machine parts or gears. Be warned that this will be very slow and will use a lot more plastic. However, the results can be truly outstanding.

you can safely ignore the rest

==== care and feeding ====
* don't leave the makerbot unattended for hours, as it can theoretically catch on fire (those heated bed wires are iffy)
* don't leave the extruder hot for hours. periodically flush through plastic to prevent it from oxidizing.
* if you are about to run out of filament, cut off both ends square with diagonal flush cutters (the blue cutters for electronics) and simply hold the filament together as it goes in
*if the filament strips out during use (extruder motor is on, temperature high enough, nothing happening) try pushing it down manually
** if this doesn't work, try reversing the motor until the filament comes out, cut it cleanly, and reinsert
** if it keeps stripping out, you may have to completely disassemble the extruder and remove plastic gunk from the gear teeth.
*** use a long 5/64" or 2mm allen key to set the extruder idler wheel/feed gear spacing
** try not to let it happen in the first place. stripping can be caused by setting the first layer too low, blocking the nozzle and letting pressure build up
*don't upgrade the firmware unless you're willing to deal with the consequences
*keep it away from bright light
*don't get any water on it
*never, never ever feed it after midnight.

Noisebridge's Makerbot kit, thoughtfully purchased by Mitch, arrived at 83C on Monday evening, July 20. Leading the assembly team is Joachim, along with Christoph, Rachel, Steve (Mr Domino), and Jeffrey (ieatlint).

It took about an hour and a half to go through and check the parts against the [http://pony.noisebridge.net/~cmaier/makerbot/parts_lists.ods parts list]. <strike>We think we are missing a bag of "laser cut pulleys" but it's hard to be completely sure, as there are a LOT of parts and they are not all labeled exactly as in the parts list</strike> A bag of "laser cut pulleys" was replaced by MakerBot-made pulleys, but the parts lists weren't updated. We determined to start assembly anyway.

We got the first part of the body together without difficulty, but had trouble with the Z stage as one of the parts had changed from when the docs were written. The Z stage rod holding guides changed from being O-shaped to being U-shaped, and are marked "Z guides". The forums told us to use them anyway.

The next problem was with threaded rods, which had been cut to size. The ends of some would not take a nut. We solved this with judicious use of the bench grinder. There were LOTS of nut/rod jokes, and we were in a state where they were actually funny! [[User:Rachel|Rachel]] 10:08, 21 July 2009 (PDT)

Martin - The makerbot is working and printing objects well. You will need to download and install "ReplicatorG" and "skeinforge" in order to use the bot. The software runs on Mac, Linux, and PC. (skeinforge requires Python, ReplicatorG requires Java) Example objects are next to the bot.

The X/Y/Z stage endpoints are not yet installed. It requires a number of popsicle sticks to be cut to the correct length and the stage to be calibrated. You can operate the MakerBot with ***great*** care without them.

The extruder head has been upgraded to the Mark-4, with a new bearing and idler wheel. Also, the extruder head is now insulated with the same material they use to insulate the Space Shuttle heat tiles from the skin of the shuttle itself. *** IT IS EXPENSIVE. PLEASE DON'T TAKE APART! *** I can't replace the material, it was given as a gift from a friend at JPL.

Please read all the instructions on how to use the MakerBot on the [[http://wiki.makerbot.com/|MakerBot Wiki Site]] before attempting to use it.

== 08/24/09 ==
Thanks to excellent efforts and support from Martin, the MakerBot is now in a semi-functional state. There are three things that need to be worked on, however:
# The Y stage endpoint is installed incorrectly (the Y stage and physically crash into it)
# The nichrome wire needs to be better insulated so it can maintain higher temperatures and consistent temperatures.
# The feeding mechanism needs to be reviewed, as it appears that it fails to operate reliably.

Please do NOT attempt to disassemble the plastruder header.
Also, do NOT attempt to operate the MakerBot unless you really know what you're doing.

== 01/10/2010 ==
Much has happened to the Makerbot since last noted,
the broken idler wheel was replaced and the extruder head assembly was upgraded by me using parts from Bre when he was here. Thanks Bre!
I also at that time upgraded the firmware and printed a bunch of skull throwies, yay!
Time has passed between then and now and many people have been reporting the makerbot in sickly condition, after much testing I am glad to report this not the case. go go makerbot!

== 03/10/2010 ==
Bre was here on 20/2 and installed a heated build platform on the Makerbot. The heated platform is a new development, still in prototype stage. It is awesome because it prevents warping, and allows workpieces to stick to the build platform without having to build a raft.

He left a sheet of instructions, they say:

"... While here we set you up with a heated build platform. It's
hooked up to the fans pot. So before you print, go into the control
panel and click [x] fan and it will turn it on. Let it warm up for at
least 5 minutes and then print on it. When the model is done, let it
cool for 5 minutes and it will 'pop' right off the warm kapton tape.

We are also leaving you a spare parts kit for the extruder. Your
nozzle is super thick and slow. This new nozzle has a smaller nozzle
hole. Make it, use it, love it!

Bre and Zack, Makerbot"

When asked about the workings of the heated build platform, he said:

"Yup, ours is a prototype part, it's awesome but not very well documented.

You want to plug it in above the mosfet that usually runs the fan.

You can then go into the control panel and just turn the fan on, let
it heat up for 8-10 minutes and it will get to about 110F.

Print away and remember to turn it off and unplug the bot when you're done!"

Please note that he's left us the parts for an improved extruder - up to us to build it - and some of the new colored ABS plastic.

== 04/03/2010 ==
After using the makerbot all day I (fenn) noticed the Z axis was consistently jamming up when traversing above 125mm/min. Several hours of head-scratching later I discovered that the heated platform would cause the large acrylic plate that holds the extruder to heat up and expand, pushing outwards on the Z-axis nuts and causing the mechanism to bind ever so slightly. The simple fix of filing the plate down was complicated by the lack of small files and the fact that the machine was assembled wrong, requiring removal of the four small u-shaped plywood "guide plates", which I put back in the correct orientation: gap outwards.

I'm not sure the heated build platform actually ever gets hot enough for ABS to stick to the kapton tape. It seems to max out at 95 celsius, as measured with an infrared thermometer. The RepRap wiki suggests 120-220 degrees for ABS. Perhaps connect the platform directly to a higher voltage power supply?

Lacking a hot enough bed for the first layer to stick to, blue masking tape sorta almost works (the first time you use it), and I got much better results when I taped a business card on top and printed on that instead. I printed a few gears and hope to add a [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1794 "wade extruder"] soonish.

== 04/09/2010 ==
I (fenn) came in today and it appeared that nobody had touched the makerbot since I last left it. But the nozzle wouldn't heat up. Voltage to the wires, it just didnt get hot. So, heeding the warning to not disassemble the nozzle, I removed it and swapped in another one, which works a lot better anyway. Then I attached a 16V transformer to the heated bed, and now it gets up to 165C which is much better than the old 90C running on 12V. Now the first layer actually sticks! Z axis seems to still be jamming up; I didn't file the notches deep enough I guess. Wish I had more time to play with it. Skeinforge settings that seem to work with ABS:
layer height: 0.4mm, flow rate: 255, feed rate: 25mm/s.

== 04/11/2010 ==
added a fan to cool off the acrylic plate. make sure you enable the fan before printing and it shouldn't jam up anymore. seems to be working reliably now.

hint: instead of trying to adjust the Z zero in software, manually adjust the height as it prints the first layer.

caution: plugging in or unplugging the heater transformer may cause the power strip breaker to trip and reset the makerbot.

== 04/13/2010 ==
leveled bed by shaving down tabs that were sticking up, pushing magnets back in, and adding a small strip of kapton tape. adjusted toothed gear/idler wheel spacing with 5/64 allen key.

Some of the magnets on the Y stage are in sideways (poles on left & right), not upright (poles on top & bottom). I found this when building my Makerbot, since I wanted the build platform to be interoperable, I tried placing the magnets on the Y stage of the NB 'bot to check polarity, and found that they were sticking corner-to-corner, not face-to-face. - Gian Pablo

== 06/10/2010 ==
I've taken in two functioning nozzle assemblies, and an extruder block with double idler wheel. These should help get the 'bot up and running. The nozzles may need to be heated up, PTFE insulator removed and cleaned. - Gian Pablo

What is the large spool of white plastic next to the Makerbot? It seems a lot softer than ABS, and certainly acts strange when I try to print with it. (It is so soft that it scrunches up in the extruder feed channel, and the pinch wheel starts grinding into it super quickly. It doesn't stink when heated.) Could it be Shapelock? - Gian Pablo

''it is PLA, rather than ABS. It melts at a much, much lower temperature.'' - Martin

It's not PLA, far too soft. There's some green PLA in the bag on top of the pile. I think it's HDPE. Smells like HDPE too. (like a blown out candle.) - fenn

== 9/24/2010 ==

The Makerbot is broken...

d'oh!

i'm really not sure what happened. i was cleaning out the extruder and i think one of the green wires touched the large metal washer; there was a spark and a small poof next to the rj-45 connector on the extruder board, and now nothing turns on. sigh.

[[File:IMG_2929.JPG|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, side view|corroborating evidence]]
I swapped in one of Gian Pablo's extruders and bought a new 606 bearing for the gearmotor. (somehow the original must have fallen out and gotten lost.) Lots of jamming up and cussing ensued. Some adjustments were made, much filament run through the machine, and I deduced that the '''NEW EXTRUDER REQURIES THE FAN ON''' whenever it is at operating temperature. I got it to print out a timing pulley on the fifth try, and reliably printing after that, using the same settings as before.

The nozzles I left seem to print reliably at much lower temperatures, try 195C and see how that goes. [gian pablo]

== 2011-01-08 ==

I've ordered an extensive selection of parts, including new extruder, heated build platform, extruder board etc. Should be here next week.

We've started work on this. I've also started printing a replacement XY stage (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4213) on my Makerbot, and ordered the parts for it (bearings, nuts, screws, washers).

[gian pablo]

== 2011-01-14 ==

All the parts have arrived. Miloh unpacked them and started working on it. Things to do:

* Assemble heated build platform
* Assemble relay board
* Assemble Plastruder Mk 5
* Replace extruder controller (and motherboard if necessary)
* Clean the 'bot
* Calibrate it

== 2011-02-18 ==

Watch it. It prints.

The autospool can cinch down and yank your build to ruin. Jake and I modified it to pull out the side in a lazier loop. It needs to be watched.

* Needs More calibration
** feed rate
** stepper driver currents (there were some X-Y 1-2mm shift errors halfway through the first builds)
* Need a get up to speed session & bot day (CrashSpaceLA is having one this weekend)
[[User:Miloh|Miloh]] 12:51, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

== 2011-03-02 ==

Printed different series of shelving brackets in red ABS. Another 2mm shift 1/4 of the way through the print only made them semi-useful. Not sure what caused the shift -- there were ~50 people milling around so I'm going to assume someone just touched the build in progress. The autospool is modified and working well on its side. The new MK5 head is working well so far (without the extrusion blowout and grip problems of the MK4 series pinch wheel and gear drive)
improvements:

* we can laser cut 1/16 cork mounting dampeners for the stepper motors
* either replace the Y axis build platform mounting part or the build platform wood back to improve stability in the platform.

All the Makerbots are working.

I've made a bunch of upgrades to White Rabbit and it is working great, there are a few fun sample prints scattered around. Ping me if you want to use it, it is a bit non-standard.

I spent a bit of quality time with Nutjob, cleaned out the driver gear, levelled the Z stage, replaced the drive motor and tidied up the cables. It is pretty standard, go ahead and use it.

There are now two filament spindles up and running, with red and white ABS. Black ABS is on the way.

Miloh printed a replacement toilet hinge, and it is now installed and working.

[[user:Gpvillamil|Gian Pablo]]

== 2011-04-07 ==

Over the last few days:
Centrated the Z axis quartet on Scotch. Found a bad bearing and replaced it. Shimmed the bearings into place as the wood was starting to wear. The Z axis is much improved by performing this maintenance. If the rods are quite parallel and straight, the Z stage can also be shimmed into place to reduce side to side slop.

The modified Z axis mount needed more clearance from the Z stage, so I replaced the mounting plates with a single piece of 1/8" laser cut acrylic.

I also upgraded the pinchwheel on Scotch with Gian-Pablo's old pinchwheel mounting. It's the same part, but with low-friction delrin plates and a plunger along the filament path. The old one can be rehabilitated by cutting out the same 1/8" delrin parts.

The power went out on Nutjob today. Assessing the problem tomorrow.

== 2013-05-16 ==

As of today, NONE of the Makerbots are functioning. I did a rough test and found this.
-) The Thing-o-Matic connects, is recognized, moves, but the nozzle doesn't heat up.
-) The right Cupcake machine is detected and registers a serial port, but Replicatorg can't connect to the firmware(Either that or the usb plug on the bot side was inverted :p) Same with the one on the desk.
-) The last time I tried to use the Type A Machine, it was detected, connected, but didn't want to start printing(This was a while ago, I didn't do extensive testing.
On a side note, there is a PP3DP Up! Printer to the right of the monitor, I've used it perfectly fine before, but upon visiting today, I found that the Z axis calibration is a little off, making it so that the nozzle is around 10-15mm above the platform, causing the plastic to curl. In the little testing I did, I have found no way to software way to recalibrate it correctly. Though if you really need to use it, light percussive maintenance can be applied. All you need to do is start printing, wait for the nozzle to start applying the plastic, then start tapping the bottom bottom of the platform lightly but with moderate force until the platform comes just into contact with the nozzle, I recommend using the raft if you do this.

These are what I've found, the wiki page hasn't been updated in two years. Hopefully someone can take a look at the problems I've listed, and take the troubleshooting further sometime during this or next week, as I usually don't appear until Thursday.

Noisebridge is a space for sharing, creation, collaboration, research, development, mentoring, and of course, learning. Noisebridge is also more than a physical space, it's a community with roots extending around the world.

<blockquote>
For we're excellent to each other here

''We make stuff. So can you.''

== The Idea ==

Noisebridge is an educational non-profit corporation, 501(c)3 public charity status.

We provide infrastructure and collaboration opportunities for people interested in programming, hardware hacking, physics, chemistry, mathematics, photography, security, robotics, all kinds of art, and, of course, technology. Through talks, workshops, and [[projects]] we encourage knowledge exchange, learning, and mentoring.

As a space for artistic collaboration and experimentation, we are open to all types of art - with a special emphasis on the crossover of art and technology. From hardware labs to electronics, cooking, photography, and sound labs, anything that's creative is welcome.

Many interesting things are happening at all times. Sharing is essential to making this work. We believe in starting from a point of respect and trust. We believe it builds a safe community and that this will foster innovation and creation.
Our code of conduct is "Be excellent to each other".

Leadership is taken by individual members for specific projects. We call this "sudo leadership" after the *nix command sudo which allows a regular user to do one root-level, or superuser, task. In other words, if you want Noisebridge to do something, start doing it.

Here's some paraphrasing from our bylaws:
Through talks, classes, workshops, collaborative projects, and other activities, we want to encourage research, knowledge exchange, learning, and mentoring in a safe, clean space. We provide educational spaces for teaching practical skills and theory of technology, science, and art. We provide work space, storage, and other resources for projects related to art, science, and technology that will benefit the individual members' personal growth in their fields of interest, encouraging the individual members to share their projects and knowledge for the betterment of society through art, science and technology. We create, learn, and teach, individually and as a group, inviting members of the community in the San Francisco Bay area and the world. We develop, support the development of, and provide resources for the development of free and open source software and hardware for the benefit of society. We promote collaboration across disciplines for the benefit of cultural, charitable, and scientific causes.

== Tripartite Pillars ==

===Excellence===
'''Be excellent to each other''' is the guiding principle of Noisebridge. Wikipedia uses [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Don't_be_a_dick a somewhat similar rule], which they call "''the fundamental rule of all social spaces. Every other policy for getting along is a special case of it.''" Unlike Wikipedia, Noisebridge takes a positive approach, and avoids the practice of officially enumerating the myriad potential special cases; "be excellent" is enough.

===Consensus===
We make official Noisebridge decisions by consensus, which means the willing consent of all of our members. Decisions are made at our [[:Category:Meeting_Notes|weekly meetings]], and items proposed for consensus are announced at least a week in advance to give everyone time to hear about them. Members may block by proxy if they are unable to attend or if they wish to block anonymously.

More information on the [[Consensus Process]].

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -Arthur C. Clarke

"Us Juggalos have deep imaginations, and an awesome sense of humor." -Violent J

The video Miracles has earned Insane Clown Posse many new fans and an unfair reputation as being anti-science. Insane Clown Polytechnic is trying to clarify this misconception. Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J have explained in interviews that they were promoting a positive appreciation for the natural wonders of the world. See the full explanation below.

Some people say we, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juggalo Juggalo] fans of "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insane_clown_posse The Insane Clown Posse]", lack basic scientific understanding on subjects like fucking magnetism, light, and nature. Fortunately, us Juggalos will be outside the [http://thewarfieldtheatre.com/eventdetail.php?id=26910 Warfield Theater on June 5th, 2010] to show that Juggalos understand science too.

To that end, we will be setting up a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fair Science Fair] outside the Warfield between 6pm-8pm to demonstrate several of the scientific principles which some people think confuse us.

We are not haters, we are family. We love science, we love ICP, we love the Fam, and we think that the more Juggalos who stand up as scrub for science, the less the jocks and the haters will make fun of the geeks and clowns and ninjas who really run the muthafucking world.

===Testimonials===
"I am a scientist, and I have a PHD, and I love ICP's music and moderately insane amounts of Faygo. Scientist Juggalo is not an oxymoron!"
-Dr Syzygy

===Violent J Explains ICP's Stance On Science===
Here's what Shaggy said in [http://psychopathicrecords.com/hatchetherald/100423/index.html an interview about Miracles from Hatchet Harold]:

I don't know what Webster's definition of the word "miracle" is, but we've always thought it meant something fuckin' amazing and incredible. A fuckin' special, awesome event of some kind. A great, wonderful thing. A fuckin' miracle.

The song "Miracles" is classic ICP. Our listeners know we've always included one or two deep, meaningful songs on our albums, we've just never made a video for one until now. It was a good idea, obviously, `cause it's got people talkin'. The truth is it don't make us mad to see all the hate "Miracles" gets from the mainstream. We've been "The Most Hated Band in The World" for many years. Without all the hate on the outside, it wouldn't be as warm as it is on the inside with the Juggalo Fam. Instead, all the hate "Miracles" generates makes us sad. Sad for the haters.

I mean, yeah, we get it. It's funny to people on the outside lookin' in, seeing two clowns rapping about space and shit, while floatin' around in an orgy of screen savers. And SNL's parody was off the hook hilarious. But when you step back and really look at all the genuine hate it got from everyday people, it's hard to believe that so few got it.

Yes, most of the miracles we mention can easily be explained away by science, that's why we say the line "fuck scientists." Their factual findings sometimes explain away the Earth's cool mysteries. Part of me wishes they were lying. Part of me doesn't want to know how they really make crop circles. My imagination wants to believe it's aliens or somethin'. If people can't relate to that, then that's their loss. I mean, seriously, it must truly suck to have no imagination about these things. Us Juggalos have deep imaginations, and an awesome sense of humor.

As for the infamous line, "fuckin' magnets... how do they work?" Magnets were like magic to me as a kid. You could move things across the table without actually touching them! I found that shit amazing and I still do. If you don't like that, have a dick for dinner. As for the sun and the stars. Who looks up into the sky and doesn't wonder sometimes? Come on, man, I fuckin' straight up feel sorry for anybody that can look at the moon the trees, and the seven seas, and not see fuckin' miracles. It's not about religion either. Nature itself is a miracle. Stand toe to toe with the ocean at night and tell me that shit ain't amazing.

We appreciate all this shit. Especially a yellow ass, long neck giraffe. What's a shame is how people walk around blind to it all. They lost their spirit about everything. If you can't even see the miracle in animals, then you must have never truly loved a pet. That has to suck for you. Maybe you mother fuckers should relax that wound up, extra tense bitch ass of yours for a minute and go smoke a joint or somethin'.

Be an individual, step out and away from the flow of the crowd. Take a time out, open up ya mind and then peep the giraffe. Try to appreciate some of these miracles, bitch.

What's a miracle is the fact that some people haven't recognized by now that Insane Clown Posse will never die. ICP will go down in history as an independent music miracle. Get used to these ugly faces. MMFCLJ.

Violent J
The Happy Clown Serial Killer

P.S. -
We feel like these haters are the big dumb, popular jocks ganging up on the little class clown scrub. When they have no idea the scrub is really a highly skilled, deadly, ninja assassin capable of cleaning their fuckin' clocks.

===Publications===
We have published several scientific findings showing how fuckin magnets and other scientifically explainable miracles work.
[[Image:FaygoFacts|500px|thumb|right|Faygo is amazing in insane moderation]]

===Participate===
There are several ways to participate in this event. Just add yourself as a volunteer to any section you'd like. No matter which you choose, please arrive at NoiseBridge at 4pm this Saturday, June 5th. There will be punch and pie.

===Scientists===
[[Image:ICP_Scientists.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Scientists be lovin ICP]]

If you would like to teach science to your fellow Juggalos, please prepare a hand-held scientific demonstration based on any of the subjects from the ICP song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-agl0pOQfs 'Miracles'].
We will be hosting a planning meeting to discuss our science fair projects at 7pm on Wednesday, June 2nd, at Noisebridge. You don't have to come to the planning meeting to participate, just show up on Saturday.

We will be providing the following equipment for scientists:
* Borrowed Lab Coats (for mad science)
* Safety Goggles
* Poster Board + Markers

Scientists:
* Hephaestus
* Bob Dole

:Have my own labcoat already
:Will explain the pre-Aristotle elements, can manage cleanup on most other topics
:Made this today for show-and-tell: http://twitpic.com/1u9l6r
:showed up at 6:10 and guy said the science fair guys were told to go across the street, but I didn't see anybody over there :( 25 mile drive for nothing
::Update: apparently I was the first on the scene...thought I was late. I left after walking up and down the line and getting some yells about the magnet. In a way I'm glad I missed ICP following me to my car.

:I can take this one. However, it might be better if we had a more focused presentation on magnets, but with some ancillary experts on topics that Juggalos may be interested in. [[User:Flipzagging|Flipzagging]] 17:08, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
:This is the one I've sat an thought about presentation ideas for. Really depends on how deep one wants to go - Huygens-Fresnel and wavefronts bending will need to be around if we wanna dig down, but the basic idea I've been thinking about is "Light bends when it slows down. Different materials let light go at different speeds. It all depends on wavelengths, and thus on color. Look here - a prism and a white LED keychain." [[User:Michiexile|Michiexile]] 02:10, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
::Richard Feynmann attempts to answer this question, with difficulty, after [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMFPe-DwULM explaining that any answer he gives is likely to be unsatisfying]. It's hard to discuss the fundamental forces in any terms other than their own. Mandatory listening for whoever's doing the magnets poster. -[[Special:Contributions/76.215.56.38|76.215.56.38]] 19:05, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
Light never slows down, ever. Different colors refract at different angles because of their energy level. But all colors regardless of wavelength travel at the same speed - the speed of light. [[User:quasar|quasar]]
:Michiexile is correct. The velocity of light varies within substances. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snell%27s_law Snell's Law] expresses the index of refraction at the boundary of two substances as the ratio of the the velocities of light within those substances. For example light goes almost half as fast through arsenic trisulfide as it does in air, so arsenic trisulfide has an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_refractive_indices#List IOR] of 1.9. -[[User:Laszlo|Laszlo]] 18:20, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
Cool, I did not know that. I see what you're saying. The way I'm reading it, it's not the light slowing down so much as light taking a break and spending some time in an electron. [[user:quasar|quasar]]
:A first approximation at something that can be said, and quickly, to this subject:

:[[User:Michiexile|Michiexile]] 22:18, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
::How far do you want to go into this? "Why does light bend?" Eventually you will start to overlap with the magnet explanation! :) --[[User:Macegr|Macegr]] 22:33, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
:::It won't take long at all to start overlapping with magnets here. Not all that surprising either! The next step, however, is to talk about Huygens-Fresnel, and viewing each point along the refraction boundary as a wavesource, and then showing how the speed change makes the wavefronts change direction. Going even this deep, however, puts the whole explanation way past the one-sentence explanation, and even way past the 1-minute elevator talk. [[User:Michiexile|Michiexile]] 17:43, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
:::Another part that I haven't even started to adress is "Why is the rainbow round?" - which ties in with the rainbow "really" being a circle, and with how we see each colour only through the exact raindrops that are at the right position for the light to bend just right to hit our eye - which happens, for a point-shaped light source (the sun) to be in a circle: the circle of things that are just the right amount of (angular) distance from a straight line, thus giving the circular "rainbow". Final bit of _this_ explanation, then, is the observation that usually, rainbows are visible with the sun in such an angle that the rainbow is partially hidden by the horizon. [[User:Michiexile|Michiexile]] 17:43, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
::I'm bringing a colour printout of the illustration I linked above today. If anybody wants to use it in an explanation of rainbows, that's awesome; otherwise - big deal. I'm a lab assistant, not a scientist (see above), anyway, so I won't do that much explanation tonight.

BioBoard

2014-10-21T00:31:23Z

Mischeif:

[[File:Tape37.jpg|1600px|thumb|left|alt text]]

=Abstract=

"The BioBoard" is an Arduino-controlled sensor package that allow users to monitor a range of physiochemical factors related to microbiological processes (e.g. algae growing, youghurt production, kombucha fermentation, sourdough culturing, etc.) in liquid media/cultures, with real-time data transmission and graphic data visualization designed to make key correlations between these factors easily graspable.

=Goals / Features=

As a minimum, we want to be able to monitor temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen. We'd also like to be able to measure biomass, either directly or by proxy. The current plan is to build a thermometer, a dissolved oxygen sensor and a biomass probe ourselves, and supplementing with a commercial pH meter. Failing that, we'll buy a thermometer and an oxygen probe as well and attempt to hack them instead, and concentrate on standardising data protocols, building the supporting controller hardware and making the graphics look pretty.

=Hardware=

==Sensors==

Important considerations are affordability, accessibility and required precision. Biologically relevant temperature range is approx. 0-100°C; accuracy should not be less than ±0.5°C at 25-35°C. pH range is (1-14), and required precision is approx. ±0.5, preferably better. dO probe should be able to measure % conc. with an accuracy of approx. ±2%, preferably better. Biomass probe will likely be measuring absorbance as a proxy for total biomass, and can be validated using classic spectrophotometer and CFU count.

===Thermometer===

'''Digital Temperature Sensors (DTS)'''

Pros
* Avaliable as one-wire devices, use single digital pin
* Require no amplification or moderation to connect to Arduino
* Good precision in biological range
** ±0.5°C accuracy from –10°C to +85°C for DS1820
* Very cheap ($0.75 to $3.95)
Cons
* Comparatively limited temperature range
** –55°C to +125°C for DS1820
** -40°C to +125°C for TC1047A
* Accuracy only ±2°C for TC1047A at 25°C
* Sensitive to mechanical damage and liquid, so require protection/casing

'''Thermistors'''

Pros
* Single analog pin use
* Very cheap ($1.75 from Hacktronics)
Cons
* Comparatively limited temperature range (-40°C to +125°C)
* Accuracy approx. ±1°C at 25°C

'''Commercial resources'''

DTS
* [http://www.hacktronics.com/Sensors/Digital-Temperature-Sensor-DS18B20/flypage.tpl.html DS18B20 digital temperature sensor] - $3.95 from Hacktronics

===pH-meter===

'''Commercial resources'''

Probes
* [http://www.heavydutysupplies.com/servlet/the-15/Checker,-HI-98103,-HI98103/Detail HANNA Instruments HI 98103] $55
* [http://www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-pH600-Portable-pH-meter/dp/B004CZ8632 Milwaukee pH600] $20 - doesn't look like it needs specific buffers for calibration, but the accuracy is probably not great. Maybe it's enough, though.
* [http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&q=ph+electrode&sqi=2&cid=15011737823946485839&os=sellers# Google shopping results] approx. $40 upwards
* [http://www.pulseinstruments.net/sotaphelectrode.aspx SOTA pH Electrode] $100 - expensive, but so so sweet: designed for continuous measurement, and comes with any kind of connector.
pH tester units
* [http://www.jencostore.com/ph-meter/ph-testers.html?price=1%2C100 Jenco 610 pH tester] for $30 - perhaps it could be hacked?

'''DIY resources'''

* [http://phduino.blogspot.com/ pHduino] - Arduino-based pH-amplifier circuit for interfacing with a commercial pH probe.
* [http://www.ph-meter.info/pH-meter-construction pH meter construction] - this could perhaps be adapted to use an Arduino instead of a voltmeter - not necessarily cheaper than buying, although it’d certainly be both fun and informative.

===Dissolved oxygen (DO) probes===

'''Optode''' (a.k.a. build an intensity- or time-based optode from scratch)

Recently, people have been using a [http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/ProductDetail.do?lang=en&N4=85793|FLUKA&N5=SEARCH_CONCAT_PNO|BRAND_KEY&F=SPEC ruthenium complex] as a visual (fluorescent) indicator of oxygen concentration. This complex is excited by a blue LED, then its transmission is measured by a filtered photoresistor (more details [http://www.env.gov.nl.ca/env/waterres/rti/rtwq/07_14.pdf here in pdf])

Pros
* All solid state (super low maintenance)
* No calibration needed
Cons
* Could be some serious tecnical hurdles to overcome on this one
* Ru molecule is expensive (~$70/mg)

Film Contruction Ideas
* Disperse catalyst in PVC powder, bake in oven on top of PET film under compression. May hit a rheology problem with the PET film. Melting point of PET is close to that of PVC.
* Film coat: PVC dissolves in 2-butanone, whereas PET will not. Make a thin liquid layer, then allow to evaporate. PVC morphology may not provide necessary mechanical stiffness after this process.

Pros
* Currently lots of DIY spectroscopy projects under development
* Relatively easy build, can be made using a LED and a photoresistor, phototransistor, an old cell phone [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charged_coupled_device CCD] or other simple photodetector
* Validation of results with known absorbance values should be easy
Cons
* Will likely need re-calibration for every use
* Could be very hard to pack into a probe

==Microcontroller assembly==

A bare-bones Arduino set-up with USB connection to a dedicated lap-top initially; later - when we have more time for integration - an ethernet shield will be added to the assembly to give us wireless data transmission to the server.

=Software=

==Data logging and visualization==

'''Data transmission'''

Data should be timestamped, categorized (pH, temperature, etc) and transmitted in real-time
* JSON data serialization format
* HTTP for transmission to server
** Include "export to CSV" function with option for data set selection - should allow people to use a variety of programming languages and data analysis tools without a lot of work on their part or ours

'''Web server'''

Custom Rails app
* Receives data
* Logs to database
* Generates graphs on demand
** Add Comet server for live-updated graphs
* Include 'export to CSV' function to allow users to extract data for analysis with tool(s)
* All code on github so others can fork and add features

* We could add features that lets new users sign up and get a unique key which they use when transmitting their own data to the JSON web service on our server. The server then uses the key to associate the data with the user, and the user can look at their graphs and share them with others.

[[File:Tape37.jpg|1600px|thumb|left|alt text]]

==What is it?==

Five Minutes of Fame (5MoF) is an adaptation of CCC's Lightning Talks. Our implementation is ten five minute talks in an hour, with a short intermission so you can get another beer.

Check out these 30 seconds of fame excerpts from May for a taste: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQUGQ3Plj-w

==When and where does it happen?==

Third Thursday of every month at 8pm, at Noisebridge, 2169 Mission St, San Francisco.



=== Five Minutes of fame is currently on hiatus. ===
email john.d.shutt@gmail.com for updates

As if you needed ANY reminder, Five Minutes of Fame is Noisebridge's ADD
show-and-tell, squashing octets of human awesomeness into an hour like
booleans in a packed byte.

</pre>

==Why are we doing this?==

There are many reasons:
* It's great for people who are interested in what's going on at Noisebridge -- no need to sit through long lectures.
* Some people are working on projects that are not ready for a full 30 minute or hour long talk, but they want to get their ideas out. Maybe they need help, maybe they want to propose an idea to the Noisebridge community.
* Some people are shy to public speaking and want to practice without giving an "official" conference talk, which can be daunting. This is a great way to try it out, in a community of peers.
* San Francisco is the mecca for startups. If you're trying to sell your idea to someone, you need to be able to explain it in five minutes or less.
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordianism#Law_of_Fives "The Law of Fives"]

==How can I participate?==

== [[Network Troubleshooting]] ==

Are you having issues with the internet or local network? Check out the [[Network Troubleshooting]] page for more information on what you can do to make things better or possibly seek help.

== Disclaimer ==

''Please note that Noisebridge does not guarantee or provide a perfect secure experience in the space. Just like anywhere else in the world you're held responsible for your own safety and wellbeing. This also includes content you receive or transmit or provide through any mediums, such as through pen and paper, sound waves or any networks wired or wireless functioning in the space. Noisebridge is a volunteer run and operated space that provides you with infrastructure, which you use at your own risk.''

== Free Public Wireless Networks ==
Noisebridge has two open wifi networks available for your use. In most cases if you connect to the network '''Noisebridge''' your laptop/phone/device will have the best luck getting crystal clear wifi and roam between radio channels according to which provides the most reliable and fastest connection.

The wifi and internet provided is for public use. Like any public network, you should regard Noisebridge's as [[Visitor_advice#Hostile_network|potentially hostile]] and take appropriate precautions. In order to not give the impression of providing false security, Noisebridge does not run any encrypted wifi networks.

The following networks are active:
* '''Noisebridge'''
** No password
** Uplink through Sonic.net and Monkeybrains
** 802.11gn 2.4 gHz and 802.11an 5 gHz, your wifi device decides which network is the best for it and roams accordingly
* '''Noisebridge 5g'''
** No password
** Uplink through Sonic.net and Monkeybrains
** 802.11an 5 gHz only

== Wired network ==
There are drops throughout the space. They are labeled with the corresponding number on the patch panel. Please don't destroy them (lol).

== DNS ==

Dynamic DNS is provided by the nat machine for DHCP clients on 172.30.0.30/22. Resolution of machines with static addresses is done by ipv4 or ipv6 mDNS and dynamic DNS entries on the nat machine from the DHCP service.

== Development ==
* See [[Network/testing]].

==Network Devices & Services==
* [[Music]]
* [[Printers]]
* [[Infrastructure]]

== Uplinks ==
=== DSL Circuit ===

There is a Sonic.net Fusion ADSL2+ DSL connection in the building. The physical circuit comes in from the MPOE in the basement and runs across the roof of the basement and up the side of the building into the DJ booth (Tea Room), then over to the Wall o' Tubes. The CPE is a Motorola 2210 ADSL2+. The admin password is the serial number, written on the bottom.

The addressing configuration is a little unusual. It's 75.101.62.0/24 and we've been allocated a /29 within that block: 75.101.62.88 - 75.101.62.95. Note that we get to use all 8 addresses; the broadcast and network address are 75.101.62.255 and 75.101.62.0 respectively. The gateway is 75.101.62.1.

The default CPE settings are not correct for our circuit configuration. From a factory reset, do the following to configure the CPE:

# Configure a computer for 192.168.1.253/24.
# Connect the computer to the DSL CPE.
# Power cycle the DSL CPE.
# Connect to 192.168.1.254 using your web browser.
# You will be prompted to set a password, use the serial number on the bottom of the DSL CPE.
# Get into expert mode.
# Under configure->connections, set the following:
## VPI: 0
## VCI: 35
## Protocol: Bridged Ethernet LLC/SNAP
## Bridging: on
# Under configure->DHCP server, set the following:
## DHCP Server Enabled: unchecked
# Save and reboot.

=== Monkeybrains Wireless Link ===
We have a point-to-point wireless link to Monkeybrains on the roof. It comes down through the Dirty Shop skylight and runs in to the server closet.

=== SFBroadband / City of SF / Internet Archive ===

We have a wireless point-to-point path up to Twin Peaks that connects up to a city-owned and volunteer-run IP transit network. Currently, we're hitting the dish off of the side and have a pretty terrible connection. For now, this network path is mostly only usable as a backup path.

There is a router in our wireless CPE hardware (st01-noisebridge-sfo) that connects up to the Noisebridge network and terminates as 172.30.0.54 on the "Inside / Internal" network. Set your default route via this IP to try the other path.

== Access Control==

Most hardware is set to use the most guessable logins and passwords possible. If you're interested in logging in, just make some guesses as to what the login can be. Use your favorite search engine. Poke around. Hack.

Experience the thrill of guessing a password that just works.

== Router ==
Bikeshed is our humble router. It is a Soekris running Vyatta(a Linux-based router distribution).

The machines currently provides
* dhcpd
* DNS (dnsmasq) - .noise local TLD and recursive proxy
* Automatic loadbalancing and ailover between Sonic DSL and monkeybrains

Access is via SSH with keys.

=== Salient configuration ===
* It is configured to fail over between DSL and Monkeybrains as conditions warrant.
* It is configured with traffic shaping to prevent individual users from sucking up all the tubes.

If you have questions about these particular points of configuration, email rack. Nothing is particularly complicated.

== Address Allocations ==
The reserved address allocations are:

===75.101.62.88/29 from Sonic.net===
We have a range within the encompassing /24: 75.101.62.{88..95}

* .88 - biketrailer
* .89 - pony.noisebridge.net
* .90 - stallion.noisebridge.net
* .91 - ChaosVPN la fonera eth0.1
* .92 - minotaur.noisebridge.net

=== IPv6 ===

Note: This is not currently implemented. The addresses are correct, though. Someday...

We have IPv6 support on the DSL circuit via a tunnel provided by sonic.net. The tunnel address is 2001:05a8:0:1::0ac6/127 , if it needs to be reconfigurated.

==== 2001:5a8:4:5630::/60 ====

This is the IPv6 subnet assigned to us by sonic. We configure the first /64 in this /60 so that autoconfiguration works. biketrailer hands out IPv6 router advertisements for this subnet directly, and your machine will SLAAC its way to ipv6 goodness. They're directly routable, but unsolicited incoming traffic is blocked by the firewall to protect the users. This means you can't run an IPv6 server on our IPv6 subnet, but you can connect to other machines on the IPv6 Internet just fine.

[[File:Noisebridge front entrance.png|thumb|400px|Ring the bell at the end of the arrow -- the one labeled "Noisebrige" =)]]

Noisebridge is located on the 3rd floor of '''[http://maps.google.com/?q=2169+Mission+Street,+94110 2169 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94110-1219]''', between 17th and 18th street ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=37.762352&mlon=-122.419372&zoom=16 37.76717 N, 122.418423 W]), 1.5 blocks south of [http://www.bart.gov/stations/16th/index.aspx 16th Street Mission BART station]. Use the intercom to ask to be buzzed into the space. An [[elevator]] with manually-operated doors is available, and here is some basic [[accessibility]] information.

Here is a [[Map]] of Noisebridge.

If this is your first time here, please review our [[visitor advice]].

We have more information here on [[Getting_In | getting in]] using really space-age or really old-fashioned ways of opening doors.

You can also find [[Getting Here (83c) | directions to our old space]].

==Public transit==

[http://511.org/ 511.org] is great to help plan your Bay Area travel.

[http://www.flysfo.com/ San Francisco International Airport (SFO)] is about 30 minutes away. [http://www.oaklandairport.com/ Oakland International Airport (OAK)] is about 50 minutes away.

[http://www.caltrain.com/ Caltrain], [http://www.amtrakcapitols.com/ Capitol Corridor] [http://www.sfmta.com Muni] and [http://www.bart.gov BART] transit systems can help get you around the Bay area on public transit.

===Getting Here by BART===
[http://www.bart.gov BART] (Bay Area Rapid Transit) train service runs 4:30am-midnight weekdays, less on weekends. The train schedules are generally accurate to within about 3 minutes.
*Take BART to 16th Street Mission Station
*Get to street level via either exit
*Walk 1.5 blocks south on Mission Street
*Noisebridge is on the left, 2169 Mission, just before Mi Ranchito produce market

===Getting Here by Muni===
San Francisco is served by the [http://www.sfmta.com Muni] bus and light rail network. Only some lines run from 1am-5am, so called "Owl" service. Bus schedules are generally accurate to within 15 minutes. [http://www.nextbus.com/predictor/stopSelector.jsp?a=sf-muni Nextbus] has real-time bus arrival information. [[nextbus | (Check stops near noisebridge here).]] Muni lines that pass particularly close to Noisebridge are:
:[http://www.sfmta.com/cms/asystem/routedesc.php?rted=14 14 Mission] '''(stops in front of Noisebridge)''' (24 hour service)
:[http://www.sfmta.com/cms/asystem/routedesc.php?rted=33 33 Stanyan] '''(stops in front of Noisebridge)'''
:[http://www.sfmta.com/cms/asystem/routedesc.php?rted=49 49 Van Ness-Mission] '''(stops in front of Noisebridge)'''
:[http://www.sfmta.com/cms/asystem/routedesc.php?rted=22 22 Fillmore] (24 hour service; closest stop 16th and Mission)
:[http://www.sfmta.com/cms/asystem/routedesc.php?rted=12 12 Folsom] (closest stop 18th and Folsom)

Noisebridge is about a 15 minute walk from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Street_Station_(San_Francisco) Church St Light Rail Muni Station], served by the Muni light rail K, L, M, and T lines underground, and the J, N and F aboveground. (When riding the J Church line, it is closer to exit at the bottom of Dolores Park at 18th and Church rather than at Church and Market. The other Muni light rail lines also connect with BART at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civic_Center_Station_(San_Francisco) Civic Center Station]; transferring to BART there may be faster than walking from Church Street.)

==Cycling==
See the [http://www.sfbike.org/download/map.pdf San Francisco Bike Coalition bike map] for bike directions to Noisebridge. Noisebridge can be found in the center-right portion of this map.

Valencia Street, 1 block west of Mission, is an official route of the San Francisco Bicycle Network, with roomy bike lanes in both directions and calm traffic. For security you should bring your bike upstairs either via the stairs or elevator. Our bike rack has room for at least 14 bikes :-)

==Driving==

Find us on [http://maps.google.com/?q=2169+Mission+Street,+94110 Google Maps] or [http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=37.762352&mlon=-122.419372&zoom=16 OpenStreetMap].

Evening street parking in the area is difficult since the 16th and Valencia area is a popular entertainment district. Most street parking in the area is metered 9am-6pm.

There is a commercial parking garage at [http://j.mp/9IMNpT 42 Hoff Street], about two blocks from Noisebridge. Several [http://www.bart.gov/guide/parking/index.aspx BART stations outside of San Francisco] city limits also have parking available. San Francisco is famous for car break-ins; you should place ''all'' your valuables in the trunk of your car.

=== From the East Bay ===

# From the East Bay, take I-80W (across the Bay Bridge)
# 1.5 miles after the Bay Bridge, exit right at "Golden Gate Bridge | North 101 | Exit 1B"
# in 0.5 miles exit right at a double sign that reads "Duboce Ave | Exit 434A" and "101 North | G G Br | Mission St"
# Bear left near the bottom of the exit
# At the bottom of the exit, turn left on Mission
# Continue south on Mission Street about 4 blocks to 2169 Mission

=== From the South Bay ===

# From the South Bay, take US-101N
# Exit at Vermont St and immediately turn left on Vermont
# Go 2 blocks and turn left on 16th
# Go 1.1 miles (approx 12 blocks) and turn left on Mission Street
# Continue south on Mission Street 1.5 blocks to 2169 Mission

Alternatively
# Take I-280N
# Exit at San Jose Avenue
# Go 1.1 miles, turn right onto Randall and make an immediate left onto Mission Street
# Go 1.6 miles (approx 16 blocks) and find yourself in front of Noisebridge!

=== From the North Bay ===

From the North Bay, take US-101S (across the Golden Gate Bridge). Continue on US-101S within San Francisco (local San Francisco streets signed as US-101S are Lombard Street and then Van Ness Avenue) until it crosses Market Street and becomes South Van Ness Avenue, then follow South Van Ness, then right on 18th, right on Mission. Just stay on mission. South van mess is too crowded

===[http://j.mp/9En9Jg To Garage at 42 Hoff]===
# Starting at Noisebridge, go 1/2 block north to 17th St.
# Turn left on 17th
# Take your first right onto Hoff St.

* '''rachel''': eljepe: i see your point and raise you SHUT UP

* '''aestetix''': Can someone explain to me in one sentence what "agile programming" is? '''oao''': it's like knowing you have to drive to some city on the east coast and setting out without a map but with a phone that you can use to ask people questions along the way.

* '''zedd''': can't breathe lulzing too hard

* '''Valkyrie''': Atala: how big is your vagina?

* '''aestetix''': So, somewhere near the top of the list of people "You don't want to piss off (™)" '''aestetix''': Up there with Hitler's ghost and Your mom '''aestetix''': I think would include the people who did the construction work at Noisebridge '''aestetix''': They're pretty badass

* '''dr_jesus''': btw I'm still planning on putting current meters on, as soon as I can convince someone not to rip them out because you can't read keystrokes off a battery powered laptop at the space using a 1Hz sample rate on a 10 bit ADC hooked up to the mains current sensor
