__NOTOC__<br />
Kindly donated to us by Queen Mary University's School of Electronic Engineering & Computer Science was missing arm and power cables.<br />
<br />
== Status ==<br />
<br />
The arm is currently a work in progress. It is driven by an open source controller due to failure of the original controller however we still need to complete the kinematics for it <br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Specs ==<br />
* Robot arm<br />
** Type: RX60L<br />
** Reference/machine number: 597411 - 01<br />
** Fabrication Le F - 12 - 1997<br />
** Masse kg 42Kg<br />
<br />
* STMBL<br />
** Type 4.1<br />
** The STMBL along with Messa cards driven by linuscnc have been used to control the arm, massive support has been received from the open source community (STMBL and LinuxCNC) as well as Messa who did a custom firmware reactivity for us while we were having a hack weekend - great international and multidisciplinary team work.<br />

<br />
There is a 19 way cable running inside the arm, to allow external signals to be routed to the end effector. This uses a 19 way plug on the wrist joint and base called a [[Equipment/Staubli/BinderConnector|Binder Connector]].<br />
<br />
There is a [[Equipment/Staubli/J11|50 way connector (J11)]] at the back of the controller containing the digital IO lines.<br />

<br />
Contract type: Short-term full-time job starting ASAP (January 2016) to March 22nd 2016, with potential ongoing work afterwards. If the right candidate wants to do this role as a freelancer or part-time, and they have fantastic experience and ability, it may be possible.<br />
<br />
Salary: circa £25,200 (£2,100/month) pro rata (depending on experience)<br />
Or £100-150/day on freelance basis (depending on experience)<br />
Location: London N5, with location trips incl a week at NEC Birmingham.<br />
<br />
The company: Gastronaut (www.thegastronaut.com) is a multimedia company run by producer Stefan Gates, creating major kick-ass sci-comm/food stage shows, TV projects and books. The main show currently in pre-production is the headline show for Big Bang Fair ‘Gastronaut and the Quantum Mechanical Chocolate Factory’, a Wonka-esque fantastical food/science show involving robots, chocolate engineering, flying fish and instant strawberry clouds. Other shows, TV and book projects are also ongoing, and most of the company’s work involves exploring, playing, ideas-generation, building stuff, assessing risks and blowing things up. The office and workshop are full of noise, laughter and general trouble-making. Culturally it’s Radio 6, with occasional bouts of Rudimental and One Direction. Lunch is always provided.<br />
<br />
Job: Key demo developer – a bright, fun, hard-working, creative person with excellent research and DIY skills and a great grasp of multidisciplinary science communication who can help build and deliver the planned show for Big Bang Fair, including prop-building, risk assessment and a bit of production management.

You’ll be expected to help out with other Gastronaut projects and shows, too (including prep and on-stage work and YouTube videos). There’s occasional weekend performance work, and time off in lieu is given for this. You should be happy to have a DBS check carried out, and a clean DBS certificate is essential to the role. NB previous key demo developers have had a great time and gone on to jobs in TV.<br />
<br />
Skills required: Excellent DIY/engineering and research skills, a great understanding of multidisciplinary science communication, live events and general nerdery. You should be responsible, creative, self-disciplined and happy to work independently. You should also be a lot of fun to be with, adaptable and understanding of the strange demands of the media. It would also be helpful (though not obligatory) for the candidate to have media production skills for YouTube videos, electronics-building ability, experience of working with children and a full UK driving licence.<br />
<br />
To apply, email your CV and an informal letter about yourself to Stefan@thegastronaut.com but please take a look FIRST at www.thegastronaut.com and youtube.com/GastronautTV <br />

== HTML5/JS simple web app ==<br />
<br />
Posted 1/SEP/2015<br />
<br />
Hello, <br />
<br />
I am producing a video series for the Guardian where we want to build an app that our presenter can use in her native L.A. <br />
<br />
To illustrate the positivities of Open Data we would like to build her an app that uses her geolocation, crime rates and public transport tables to provide the safest route home for her. <br />
<br />
We will need to build this app in the next 3-5 days and I am hoping to work with the Times in LA to use info they have collected to make this map. <br />
<br />
The app can be quite scaled down and the interface basically non-existent- this is a beta tool that shows whats possible with open data. <br />
<br />
If interested please get in contact ASAP. <br />
<br />
Thank you!<br />

<br />
Contract type: Short-term full-time job starting ASAP (January 2016) to March 22nd 2016, with potential ongoing work afterwards. If the right candidate wants to do this role as a freelancer or part-time, and they have fantastic experience and ability, it may be possible.<br />
<br />
Salary: circa £25,200 (£2,100/month) pro rata (depending on experience)<br />
Or £100-150/day on freelance basis (depending on experience)<br />
Location: London N5, with location trips incl a week at NEC Birmingham.<br />
<br />
The company: Gastronaut (www.thegastronaut.com) is a multimedia company run by producer Stefan Gates, creating major kick-ass sci-comm/food stage shows, TV projects and books. The main show currently in pre-production is the headline show for Big Bang Fair ‘Gastronaut and the Quantum Mechanical Chocolate Factory’, a Wonka-esque fantastical food/science show involving robots, chocolate engineering, flying fish and instant strawberry clouds. Other shows, TV and book projects are also ongoing, and most of the company’s work involves exploring, playing, ideas-generation, building stuff, assessing risks and blowing things up. The office and workshop are full of noise, laughter and general trouble-making. Culturally it’s Radio 6, with occasional bouts of Rudimental and One Direction. Lunch is always provided.<br />
<br />
Job: Key demo developer – a bright, fun, hard-working, creative person with excellent research and DIY skills and a great grasp of multidisciplinary science communication who can help build and deliver the planned show for Big Bang Fair, including prop-building, risk assessment and a bit of production management.

<br />
Skills required: Excellent DIY/engineering and research skills, a great understanding of multidisciplinary science communication, live events and general nerdery. You should be responsible, creative, self-disciplined and happy to work independently. You should also be a lot of fun to be with, adaptable and understanding of the strange demands of the media. It would also be helpful (though not obligatory) for the candidate to have media production skills for YouTube videos, electronics-building ability, experience of working with children and a full UK driving licence.<br />
<br />
To apply, email your CV and an informal letter about yourself to Stefan@thegastronaut.com but please take a look FIRST at www.thegastronaut.com and youtube.com/GastronautTV <br />

== HTML5/JS simple web app ==<br />
<br />
Posted 1/SEP/2015<br />
<br />
Hello, <br />
<br />
I am producing a video series for the Guardian where we want to build an app that our presenter can use in her native L.A. <br />
<br />
To illustrate the positivities of Open Data we would like to build her an app that uses her geolocation, crime rates and public transport tables to provide the safest route home for her. <br />
<br />
We will need to build this app in the next 3-5 days and I am hoping to work with the Times in LA to use info they have collected to make this map. <br />
<br />
The app can be quite scaled down and the interface basically non-existent- this is a beta tool that shows whats possible with open data. <br />
<br />
If interested please get in contact ASAP. <br />
<br />
Thank you!<br />

<br />
The best job in the (Science Communication) world: developing and delivering the huge Big Bang Fair Headline shows and various research/production projects<br />
<br />
Contract type: Short-term full-time job starting ASAP (January 2016) to March 22nd 2016, with potential ongoing work afterwards. If the right candidate wants to do this role as a freelancer or part-time, and they have fantastic experience and ability, it may be possible.<br />
<br />
Salary: circa £25,200 (£2,100/month) pro rata (depending on experience)<br />
Or £100-150/day on freelance basis (depending on experience)<br />
Location: London N5, with location trips incl a week at NEC Birmingham.<br />
<br />
The company: Gastronaut (www.thegastronaut.com) is a multimedia company run by producer Stefan Gates, creating major kick-ass sci-comm/food stage shows, TV projects and books. The main show currently in pre-production is the headline show for Big Bang Fair ‘Gastronaut and the Quantum Mechanical Chocolate Factory’, a Wonka-esque fantastical food/science show involving robots, chocolate engineering, flying fish and instant strawberry clouds. Other shows, TV and book projects are also ongoing, and most of the company’s work involves exploring, playing, ideas-generation, building stuff, assessing risks and blowing things up. The office and workshop are full of noise, laughter and general trouble-making. Culturally it’s Radio 6, with occasional bouts of Rudimental and One Direction. Lunch is always provided.<br />
<br />
Job: Key demo developer – a bright, fun, hard-working, creative person with excellent research and DIY skills and a great grasp of multidisciplinary science communication who can help build and deliver the planned show for Big Bang Fair, including prop-building, risk assessment and a bit of production management. You’ll be working with Stefan and two brilliant co-presenters on the main show, and will be on-stage to present it. You’ll be expected to help out with other Gastronaut projects and shows, too (including prep and on-stage work and YouTube videos). There’s occasional weekend performance work, and time off in lieu is given for this. You should be happy to have a DBS check carried out, and a clean DBS certificate is essential to the role. NB previous key demo developers have had a great time and gone on to jobs in TV.<br />
<br />
Skills required: Excellent DIY/engineering and research skills, a great understanding of multidisciplinary science communication, live events and general nerdery. You should be responsible, creative, self-disciplined and happy to work independently. You should also be a lot of fun to be with, adaptable and understanding of the strange demands of the media. It would also be helpful (though not obligatory) for the candidate to have media production skills for YouTube videos, electronics-building ability, experience of working with children and a full UK driving licence.<br />
<br />
To apply, email your CV and an informal letter about yourself to Stefan@thegastronaut.com but please take a look FIRST at www.thegastronaut.com and youtube.com/GastronautTV <br />

== HTML5/JS simple web app ==<br />
<br />
Posted 1/SEP/2015<br />
<br />
Hello, <br />
<br />
I am producing a video series for the Guardian where we want to build an app that our presenter can use in her native L.A. <br />
<br />
To illustrate the positivities of Open Data we would like to build her an app that uses her geolocation, crime rates and public transport tables to provide the safest route home for her. <br />
<br />
We will need to build this app in the next 3-5 days and I am hoping to work with the Times in LA to use info they have collected to make this map. <br />
<br />
The app can be quite scaled down and the interface basically non-existent- this is a beta tool that shows whats possible with open data. <br />
<br />
If interested please get in contact ASAP. <br />
<br />
Thank you!<br />

Posted 11 Jan 2016<br />
<br />
The best job in the (Science Communication) world: developing and delivering the huge Big Bang Fair Headline shows and various research/production projects<br />
<br />
Contract type: Short-term full-time job starting ASAP (January 2016) to March 22nd 2016, with potential ongoing work afterwards. If the right candidate wants to do this role as a freelancer or part-time, and they have fantastic experience and ability, it may be possible.<br />
<br />
Salary: circa £25,200 (£2,100/month) pro rata (depending on experience)<br />
Or £100-150/day on freelance basis (depending on experience)<br />
Location: London N5, with location trips incl a week at NEC Birmingham.<br />
<br />
The company: Gastronaut (www.thegastronaut.com) is a multimedia company run by producer Stefan Gates, creating major kick-ass sci-comm/food stage shows, TV projects and books. The main show currently in pre-production is the headline show for Big Bang Fair ‘Gastronaut and the Quantum Mechanical Chocolate Factory’, a Wonka-esque fantastical food/science show involving robots, chocolate engineering, flying fish and instant strawberry clouds. Other shows, TV and book projects are also ongoing, and most of the company’s work involves exploring, playing, ideas-generation, building stuff, assessing risks and blowing things up. The office and workshop are full of noise, laughter and general trouble-making. Culturally it’s Radio 6, with occasional bouts of Rudimental and One Direction. Lunch is always provided.<br />
<br />
Job: Key demo developer – a bright, fun, hard-working, creative person with excellent research and DIY skills and a great grasp of multidisciplinary science communication who can help build and deliver the planned show for Big Bang Fair, including prop-building, risk assessment and a bit of production management. You’ll be working with Stefan and two brilliant co-presenters on the main show, and will be on-stage to present it. You’ll be expected to help out with other Gastronaut projects and shows, too (including prep and on-stage work and YouTube videos). There’s occasional weekend performance work, and time off in lieu is given for this. You should be happy to have a DBS check carried out, and a clean DBS certificate is essential to the role. NB previous key demo developers have had a great time and gone on to jobs in TV.<br />
<br />
Skills required: Excellent DIY/engineering and research skills, a great understanding of multidisciplinary science communication, live events and general nerdery. You should be responsible, creative, self-disciplined and happy to work independently. You should also be a lot of fun to be with, adaptable and understanding of the strange demands of the media. It would also be helpful (though not obligatory) for the candidate to have media production skills for YouTube videos, electronics-building ability, experience of working with children and a full UK driving licence.<br />
<br />
To apply, email your CV and an informal letter about yourself to Stefan@thegastronaut.com but please take a look FIRST at www.thegastronaut.com and youtube.com/GastronautTV <br />

== HTML5/JS simple web app ==<br />
<br />
Posted 1/SEP/2015<br />
<br />
Hello, <br />
<br />
I am producing a video series for the Guardian where we want to build an app that our presenter can use in her native L.A. <br />
<br />
To illustrate the positivities of Open Data we would like to build her an app that uses her geolocation, crime rates and public transport tables to provide the safest route home for her. <br />
<br />
We will need to build this app in the next 3-5 days and I am hoping to work with the Times in LA to use info they have collected to make this map. <br />
<br />
The app can be quite scaled down and the interface basically non-existent- this is a beta tool that shows whats possible with open data. <br />
<br />
If interested please get in contact ASAP. <br />
<br />
Thank you!<br />

<br />
A research student based at Royal College of Art / Imperial College is looking for a developer to build a simple iOS (iPad if possible) app that will talk to a BLE device (currently working with https://punchthrough.com/bean/ but anything would do). <br />
On top of getting and sending data from the BLE device I will need to build a GUI, but that will come in a later stage, so not strictly necessary at the moment but experience in this area will be considered as a plus! <br />
<br />
More about their SDK here https://github.com/PunchThrough/Bean-iOS-OSX-SDK<br />

Hello all i'm (Scooby) MIL0UD B0UHADD0U, I'm super friendly, outgoing, caring, very approachable and easy going, born and lived in London all my life and a man of many trades mostly by use of hands. My main interests and hobbies are everything to do with mechanics, electrically propelled vehicles, metal works/fabrication and welding. My weakness are spending too much of my HS hacking time socialising and helping others with their super exciting projects.<br />
<br />
I joined around five years ago when space and rules was never a big issue, everything just fell into place and was workable when our members was less than just a few hundred at the time. I've always played a huge part in the logistics side of running the HS and most importantly during our last transition over to our current location and hopefully to our new one too. I also work on the day to day behind the scenes politics which can sometimes be a huge drain but always rewarding once any issues have been resolved.<br />
<br />
My mandate: Fairness, Honesty, Clarity, and Transparency. We should all be treated with the same care, consideration and respect that we give and receive, we should all work and coexist with one another and always within a friendly and happy environment, and that no other, (no matter what position they hold) should tower over another.<br />
<br />
One of my biggest concerns is the unfair process regarding the grievance procedure and the lack of trustees failing to take immediate action/intervention and being [Truncated at 250 words]<br />

Hi , My name is Brian Cox (No relation ) and I wish to run for this years trustee elections for the London hackspace, I'm 45 this coming year and have done many things . I have travelled a lot and been in the forces for some six years I'm skilled in antique furniture restoration and 5 star catering, at this moment In time I'm part of Project Dalek and help run a few of the conventions on Johns behalf. I'm currently looking to start a props business on the side and to develop it in to a full time passion by learning the skills here at the hackspace and from the people around me.<br />

tl:dr the Hackspace needs some trustees who are willing to take the flack from making decisions that the majority of members want made. I'm that person.<br />

Hi, my name's Henry, I'm one of the Laser cutter Maintainers and I also organise and run the LAN parties.<br />
<br />
I've been a member for over 3 years and had a lot of fun during that time, including making many great friends. I'm always friendly and willing to help, whether that be with woodwork, new starters or queries regarding the Laser Cutter.<br />
<br />
The Hackspace is going to need to change heavily over the next 18 months and I want to be a leading part in that, I think I can provide level headed, objective decision making and work with current and future trustees without drama or infighting.<br />
<br />
If you want to chat about anything, I'm YetiFiasco on IRC or my Email address is on the mailing list, I'm always open to talk.<br />

[[File:Trustee-Mat-Stace.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]<br />
Hi, I'm Mat, and I infrequently play with radios. I sometimes even come<br />
into the main space, if I am thirsty and have remembered enough change<br />
to buy a bottle of Mate.<br />
<br />
As a trustee, I want the day to day running of the space to be off my<br />
radar, I firmly believe that the community needs to be re-engaged in the<br />
do-ocracy aspect of the space, and not rely on the trustees to hold<br />
hands on every little thing. I don't believe that simply being present<br />
in the space all of the time is a good measure of who would make a good<br />
trustee. (I'm also going to slap myself for typing do-ocracy. Excellent<br />
sentiment, terrible word.) I am aware of the challenges of a space with<br />
the number of members that we have, however, and am certainly not going<br />
to vanish and hide behind the "do it yourself, whilst being excellent"<br />
mantra. Most of the time ;)<br />
<br />
Looking to the future, the next eighteen months are going to see some<br />
huge changes to LHS, including the physical location itself, so some<br />
drama-averse heads making sane, sensible decisions sound like a good<br />
addition to the trustees. I'd like to think of myself in that category,<br />
and wouldn't be putting myself forward if I thought I would be any<br />
detriment to the space.<br />

I’m Timour or CptPrime on IRC. The London Hackspace has been hugely important to me these past 2 years living in London.<br />
<br />
Joining the sub group London Aerospace has not only given me a fantastic group of friends to enjoy my hobby with, but also provided me with a career doing what I love.<br />
<br />
I decided I wanted to give back the space so I’ve taken on maintaining the 3D printers. But I would like to do more by taking on a trustee role.<br />
<br />
I don’t plan on shaking things up, I think we have good guidelines that if used sensitively can continue to maintain and grow the Hackspace.<br />
<br />
If you’d like to talk to me I’m often in the space and would love to hear your ideas on how we can all keep the Hackspace as the great institution that it is.<br />

[[File:Trustee-Jan-Szumiec.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]<br />
Hi, I’m Jan. I have been a member of London Hackspace since 2014, originally joining for the amateur radio interest group. Since then, I have discovered complementary groups, met a ton of interesting and smart people and made quality friends. I spend most of my time writing software, but also dabble in hardware and electronics - which led me to organise this year's edition of Stupid Hackathon London (www.stupidhackathon.uk).<br />
<br />
One of the projects I support and work on at LHS is the doorbot - they are now built on the same platform as the ACNodes which simplifies administration and improves reliability. It's also now much easier to add new capabilities when we get more equipment in. Assuming you’ve visited the space within the past year, you have already benefited from my efforts as a proactive and interested member.<br />
<br />
I want to get involved in helping the space as a trustee for two major reasons. First, the hackspace is an amazing concept worthy of time investment. The space itself is hack-worthy and unique. Second, there is quite a lot of work with the upcoming move in March 2018. I am mindful that this requires some extra effort and would like to be involved. My no-nonsense focus will help to ensure the London Hackspace has a home in the future.<br />

Hi I´m Blanca Regina. I'm currently involved in creating audiovisual performances, music, installations and film. <br />
<br />
I will like to be a trustee because I think this is a position that needs to rotate, to whoever likes and loves Hackspace. For keeping up a positive attitude, the good work and maintain a clean and organized space. I think that to keep the space mantainance and to try to help whoever that needs a hand or guideline its essential. Im up for it!<br />
If I know about anything I will first make a cup of tea, I will listen and I'll try to refer you to the best ways of sorting out an idea or case.<br />
<br />
I joined Hackspace in May 2012, and since then I feel very gratefull and close to what happens. I have met amazing people and I'm glad about it. I joined Music Hackspace and worked with the group for a couple of years curating the evening of live performances at Troyganic. I recently left the group looking forward to focus at some other initiatives.<br />
Since we moved to the new space and mostly for the last 8 months I've been focused in the Darkroom project and lately at the buildup of the Darkroom downstairs. I'm very excited about how this its turning out. Im becaming a master making tea. See you soon in the space.<br />

* '''Description''': We are an informal group of robotics enthusiasts that meet on Mondays to "sync" and work on projects, we also arrange to hack on stuff at other times. We have members who are very good in various fields and have those that are just starting out on hacking on their projects, so beginners are just as welcome!<br />
* '''Meetups''': Every Monday 7:30pm start at [[447_Hackney_Road#How_to_get_there|London Hackspace]] (free event, non-members welcome)<br />
* Open to both LHS members and the public (if needed please ring the bell and mention you are coming for the robotics group meetup)<br />

<br />
=== How to get started ===<br />
<br />
Robotics is a multidisciplinary field and although that is what makes it exciting, it also makes it really hard to get started.<br />
<br />
Here are some resources to get you on help you get started:<br />
<br />
* Starting bots<br />
** [[Group:Robotics/DaguMagician|Dagu Magician]] robot chassis (we have one!)<br />
* Electronics<br />

== Summary ==<br />
<br />
This system can cut 2d and 3d shapes from materials such as wood, plastic, metal and composites. It is useful for cutting things that can't be cut in the laser cutter due to their thickness or material compatibility. The edge accuracy of parts is also usually better than a laser cut due to the lack of uncertainty about the kerf width, and improved vertical walls.<br />
<br />
We made this CNC from the Imperial donated linear slides and stages, and other things lying around the space, and some bits and pieces that members had. Any suggestions for improvements / modification are welcome.<br />
<br />
== Specs ==<br />
* Spindle <br />
** Perske VS50.09 (see http://crpperske.com/pdf/Perske_Catalog_25AM.pdf)<br />
** 1750 to 17500rpm<br />
** 2.2kW driven by Siemens Micromaster 420 VFD<br />
** ER20 extension collet chuck fitted<br />
* Rapid traverse rate at 100% 2000mm/min (currently derated to 1200mm/min Jan 2016)<br />
* Axis travel <br />
** X(cross) 850mm<br />
** Y(longitudinal) 960mm<br />
** Z(vertical) 80mm (Phase 1), 62mm clear of current spoilboard, 200mm (Phase 2)<br />
<br />
== Technical ==<br />
<br />
The system currently runs LinuxCNC on the PC built into the base.<br />
<br />
== Use / Induction==<br />
<br />
Once you have been trained and done a number of jobs on the shapeoko, you can by arrangement with the maintainers schedule an induction. <br />
<br />
You will need to have demonstrated your ability on CAD and CAM. <br />
<br />
You will need a LDAP account to login to the machine - further information on creating an account at https://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/view/LDAP#What_can_I_use_my_LDAP_account_for.3F<br />
<br />
You must have completed 3 jobs on your own on either the ShapeOko or Boxford over a period of time<br />
<br />
== Operating the system ==<br />
<br />
* The spindle is currently fitted with an ER20 collet chuck and can take cutters up to 13mm diameter. Collets can be found on top of the Boxford CNC. Please use only spanners to change and do so with care and respect <br />
* To start the spindle, press the green button on the VFD. Use the up and down keys to vary the speed.<br />
<br />
== Charges ==<br />
<br />
Charges are 10 Pounds an hour (spindle time) due to the nature of G code and home built machines you do so at your own risk (this is used for development costs and maintaince of the cnc machines) this goes into the blue tin until an account ios setup for this<br />
<br />
== Health and Saftey ==<br />
<br />
* By using this machine you are self-certifying that you are competent to do so.<br />
* You will not use this machine unless all safety features are in place and operational.<br />
* You will not use this machine if you are under the influence of drugs ar alcohol. (this will result in a life time ban)<br />
<br />
== Generating g-code from your designs ==<br />
<br />
There are a lot of different options for preparing a g-code file which can be loaded onto the CNC to cut a design. Some examples include;<br />
<br />
3D Packages<br />
* Autodesk Fusion 360 (Free for hobbyists and students, Windows / OSX) http://www.autodesk.co.uk/products/fusion-360/overview<br />
<br />
2D Packages<br />
* MakerCam (Free, runs in a browser via Flash) http://www.makercam.com/makercam.swf<br />
* Cambam (LHS has a license, installed on the Robotics CAD/CAM laptop) http://www.cambam.info/<br />
<br />
<br />
When using Fusion 360, in order to post to the Hackspace CNC machines, the "Generic EMC2" post-processor should be selected when finally saving the g-code file. LinuxCNC recognises the "ngc" file extension although any extension can be used.<br />
<br />
== System status ==<br />
<br />
The system is up and running, although we are still doing some tidying and adjusting of subsystems based on initial experiences of people using it in the alpha/beta program. A low noise vacuum cleaner has been installed as a dust extraction system.</div>Mentarhttps://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/w/index.php?title=Keyholders&diff=49448Keyholders2016-04-13T13:45:22Z<p>Mentar: Tgreer no longer has key, it's now with Andy</p>

We have a [http://www.megauk.com/production_lines.php Mega Electronics PB710S PCB Production line] etching station, obtained by a [[Pledge:_PCB_Etch_Tank|Pledge]]<br />
<br />
Note : see '''[[Pcb]]''' for other references<br />
<br />
==Important Warnings==<br />
<br />
* '''CLEAN UP AFTERWARDS'''<br />
* Do not run any heater unless the tank is full of liquid. It should blow a thermal fuse before melting the tank, but that may involve replacing the heater. Keep unused heated tanks full of plain water or disable the heaters by unplugging the associated connector inside the cupboard door.<br />
* Do not etch anything except copper (other metals will pollute the etchant).<br />
* Do not drink the contents, even when there's no beer.<br />
* Do not allow children or drunken hackers to play with the tanks. <br />
* Check the power has been turned off after use.<br />
* Do not dip a basket soaked in one chemical into the tank of another chemical.<br />
* Read the [[Media:PB BENCH Line and PCB Labstation instructions.pdf|instructions (pdf)]]<br />
* '''CLEAN UP AFTERWARDS'''<br />
<br />
==Less important warnings==<br />
<br />
* You normally place boards to be etched in the plastic basket under a tank lid, then dip it into the tank. If the PCB is too close to the open end, it will fall out. You may have to drain the tank to retrieve it. You don't want to do this, so put the pcb well into the opening and don't tip it forwards as you remove the basket from the tank.<br />
* Very small PCBs may fall through the holes. A possible solution is to put them in fine-mesh envelopes before putting them in the basket. Finding a suitable envelope is left as an exercise for the user (hint - look on the [http://www.megauk.com Mega website]).<br />
<br />

<br />
==Controls==<br />
[[File:PCB_station_controls.jpg|right|thumb|Controls for the PCB station]]<br />
The leftmost button on the control panel is mains power. If you see it lit up when no-one is using the tank, please turn it off (but if someone _might_ be waiting for it to warm up, please check first!). Probably a good idea to switch off at the mains as well.<br />
<br />
Each tank and rinser then has a control section. Working from left to right, these are:<br />
<br />
* '''Developer''' - Heat button and 'heater active' light. Set to about 28&deg;C. Heating not normally required.<br />
* '''Developer rinse''' - Spray button activates spray bar.<br />
* '''Etch''' - Heat button and 'heater active' light. Set to about 48&deg;C. Takes about 15-20 minutes to get hot. <br />
** Air bubbler button - only active when heating is also on.<br />
* '''Etch rinse''' - Spray button activates spray bar. <br />
* '''Photoresist stripper''' - Heat button and 'heater active' light. Set to about 50&deg;C. Optional.<br />
* '''Stripper rinse''' - Spray button activates spray bar. <br />
* '''Tinning''' - Heat button and 'heater active' light. Set to about 50&deg;C. Optional.<br />
<br />
The spray bars work best if only one is on at a time (and unless you're making a lot of boards at once, you probably only need one).<br />

<br />
=== 2nd Tank - Etchant ===<br />
<br />
Now contains CuCl2 etchant at ~3M strength. Ready to use. (Heater does not seem to shut down by itself so make sure not to overheat the solution, being worked on)<br />
<br />
Resupply: instructions below! Required materials are:<br />
* HCl<br />
* Copper<br />
* NaOH (for checking concentration)<br />
<br />
''' DO NOT put Ferric Chloride in this tank !!!''' In fact, please don't use ferric chloride at all - it silts up the tank and is really difficult to clean up. If there is some reason why we wish to use it again, it may be possible to use the 4th tank for it.<br />
<br />
====CuCl2 Etchant====<br />
<br />
The bath for [[Project:PCB Making/Cupric_chloride_etchant|Cupric Chloride etch]] was prepared using the slow method : leave some copper in acid, allow corrosion to occur generating some oxides, add further copper and acid as required. Water, acid, copper and hydrogen peroxide (if used) should be noted as it's easy to over-dilute if you just add stuff randomly. <br />
<br />
The preparation so far contains 540g copper, 2900ml 38% HCl, 1750ml water. SG is 1260. This is ready for use - air has been bubbled through it and it has reached the bright green colour indicating it has converted copper to cupric chloride. The acid concentration appears to be correct and I have reconnected the heater. If the etchant is not bright green, please leave the small fishtank bubbler running. The bubbles will regenerate the etchant.<br />
<br />
'''DO NOT ETCH ANYTHING EXCEPT COPPER IN THIS TANK'''<br />
<br />
See [[File:CuCl.pdf]] for maintenance instructions. These are basically : Check colour. Bubble if dark. Titrate against 1 molar NaOH to check acid concentration (this only requires a check for precipitate, no need for acid indicator). Add HCl if necessary.<br />
<br />
If you use it, don't rely on the small bubbler to provide agitation - keep it moving the whole time (and be careful your board doesn't walk out the end of the basket when you do that). The small bubbler is really only there to re-aerate the solution after use, as it's quiet enough to leave on.<br />
<br />
=== 3rd Tank - (water) stripper ===<br />
<br />
Currently contains clean water (mainly to protect the heater if accidentally switched on<br />
<br />
Stripper can be resupplied with:<br />
* [http://www.megauk.com/strippers.php Mega Electronics 600-019] PC155 Resist Strip 1 Ltr makes 5 Ltrs<br />

<br />
=== 4th Tank - (Water) ===<br />
<br />
Currently contains clean water (mainly to protect the heater if accidentally switched on<br />
<br />
===Planned changes===<br />
<br />
*<del>Use Cupric chloride in the etch tank rather than Ferric chloride, which is messier, requires frequent replacement and silts up the bubbler.</del> Has been done<br />
*Replace the bubbler in the bottom of the tank with a bar suspended from the basket, so that it's easier to clean.<br />
*Link both the large air pump and the small one into the same air supply so the cupric chloride can easily be regenerated (requires long slow bubbling rather than short fast bubbling) <br />
*It would be nice to have power without using the extension lead. The existing ring main might be extended fairly easily to put sockets on the wall near the sink.<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
<br />
The pump was replaced with a heavier duty medical unit mostly because it was cheap & available. The original was a fishtank pump and is still mounted on the front of the tank. It worked, but seemed not to have enough pressure available to overcome backpressure if the aeration tube had partly filled with etchant. Fitting it involved a few peculiarities, though.<br />
* There is a clamp on a branch of the tube near the pump, which can be used to restrict a controlled pressure relief and hence the vigor of the bubbles.<br />
* The pump is no longer fitted to the tank, but instead rests in the cabinet<br />
* It is still possible to remove the tank for maintenance: the cable and pipe connecting to the pump are very long but if they need to be detached the cable can be unplugged from the back of the pump and the pipe unplugged from the pump.<br />
* There is now a one-way valve between the pump and the antisyphon trap to reduce the possibility of etchant flowing into the pump.<br />
* The power connection to the pump has no earth wire connected and apparently swaps black/white colour coding. This is not just carelessness : the original black/white wiring apparently had black as neutral, white as live to the fish tank pump. The IEC lead to the new pump uses conventional euro colours : black is live. So black and white swap at the join. It's not very important as the pump doesn't have a preferred live connection.<br />
* The earth pin in the cable to the pump is not connected at the pump end (it's a 2-pin connector) so there was no point connecting it at the tank end.<br />
<br />
The piping requires some care. Because of the increased pressure available from the pump, if the bubbler is blocked it's possible for the pump to blow the pipe off the bubbler. This can then lead to etchant leak.<br />
<br />
At present, there are cable ties around the most important joints but NOT where it links to the pump. This tends to result in that joint breaking rather than any other, which is good because it's easily accessible and doesn't cause leaks. If there are problems with it blowing off too regularly, look into the cause : just fitting it more solidly is likely to lead to etchant leaks.<br />
<br />
Originally, I restricted the airflow into the tank (to avoid excessively vigorous bubbles) by pinching the air tube with a clamp. This often caused the pump connector to come off, prompting the use of cable ties. When the bubble tube silted up, it was that joint that came undone instead of the pump joint. This was a bad thing.<br />
<br />
A new configuration places a T joint near the pump with the clamp fitted to the additional open outlet. The idea is to make a controlled leak so that excess pressure is bled off rather than overpressurising the joints. It's likely that this will need to be adjusted as the bubbler silts up.<br />
<br />
The low-volume pump used for aeration is now teed into the bubbler pipe, so it will either bubble slowly from that or fast from the big pump. I had to add another non-return valve so the aerator air didn't all leak out the restricted leak. { diagram needed }<br />
<br />
==Instructions==<br />
<br />
The tank was previously in a school and there is a laminated sheet with usage instructions. It may not be applicable to our use but is worth looking at.<br />

<hr />
<div>__NOINDEX__<br />
This page is used to track training sessions for the [[Laser Cutter]].<br />
<br />
Training is given most Wednesdays or Thursdays at around 8pm and is available to all London Hackspace members. You must pre-book your place below. If you have not yet joined London Hackspace, please '''[https://london.hackspace.org.uk/signup.php do so]''' before joining training!<br />
<br />
Space is strictly limited and you must reserve a place on this wiki page when a session is available - watch the [[Mailing List]] for announcements. Reserving a place is on a first-come-first-served basis, so you'll need to be quick.<br />
<br />
If you can't attend your training session please remove your name from the roster and inform the Mailing List, this will save wasting people's time and can allow a last minute replacement to take your slot. <br />
<br />
Feel free to ask for help on the [[Mailing List]], but please read the [[Mailing_list_FAQ|FAQ]] first.<br />
<br />
'''Don't create training sessions yourself, they are announced on the mailing list when posted.'''<br />
<br />
'''Please don't ask for training sessions to be run, they happen as regularly as possible.'''<br />
<br />
==Next Sessions==<br />
25/01/16 @ 19:30. Only 5 places available (no more), please note your full name you used to join LHS (we use this to check membership status)<br />
<br />
Your account must be showing as a fully paid up member '''before signing up''' for training. <br />
<br />
Training is £5 and is payable to the trainer at the end of the session.<br />

* [http://www.hamaracrylic.co.uk/ Hamar acrylic] (ask for Terry). "Hamar tend to turn things around in a couple of days. They can do all sorts of complex plastic fabbing as well as simple cutting.

* '''[http://www.modelshop.co.uk/ 4D Model Shop]''' "They have a proper shop with racks of sheet material. They also sell the tools and laser cutting services. A quicker way of getting sheet material, but you'll probably have to cut it yourself." Monday-Saturday 9:00-18:00 (9:30 on Saturday)<br />
* http://www.trentplastics.co.uk/ (have dealt with them, Levi was very helpful get the order in before 3pm and they'll dispatch it next day, plus if you don't see it on their website call and ask as they have more in stock than is on there). Open Monday-Friday 8:00-17:00 (16:30 on Friday)<br />

<br />
=== Art Stuff ===<br />
* [http://www.paintworks.biz/index/index.php Paintworks] Nearest to the Space, on Kingsland Road. Don't know anything more about it [[User:Akki14|Akki14]] ([[User talk:Akki14|talk]]) Extremely good for its size, often with good deals on short-dated paint or ink. [[User:Eithin|Eithin]] ([[User talk:Eithin|talk]]) 00:29, 29 October 2013 (UTC)<br />
* [http://www.atlantisart.co.uk/ Atlantis Art] is a large warehouse-sized art shop with all kinds of things. Probably not cheapest for things like liquid latex, silicone moulding materials etc but it's there and it's reasonably priced for large sheets of paper, melinex (laserable clear sheet - useful for stencils), higher quality art supplies etc. Not too far of a walk from the Space on a nice day.<br />
* [http://www.cassart.co.uk/shops_01.htm Cass Art] nearest branch is probably Islington. The "large" shop in Islington isn't as big as Atlantis. Range is slightly less upmarket than Atlantis as well. Know your prices before going - a lot of it claims to be cheaper than retail but actually isn't cheapest available elsewhere.<br />
* [http://www.cornelissen.com/ Cornelissen & Son] Holborn area. Pretty shop. Stocks some interesting papers, vellum, parchment, etc but take a shopping list with you if you're buying anything other than standard packs of papers as their paper stock is hidden away downstairs. Can be a bit on the pricey side but check out their clearance section for decent priced artists brushes. <br />
* [http://www.londongraphics.co.uk/ London Graphics Centre] Covent Garden area. Useful for obscure graphics things. Prices are a little on the high side but generally they have higher quality materials anyway.<br />
* [http://www.cowlingandwilcox.com/ourshops.aspx Cowling & Wilcox] branches nearest/easiest to get to from the Space would be Shoreditch High Street & Soho. A mix of art supplies and craft supplies. Middle of the road for quality/prices.<br />
* [http://www.falkiners.com/ Shepherds Falkiners] in Victoria. The best selection of retail paper in London, with helpful knowledgeable staff. If you need large quantities, then there are paper selectors from Antalis and GF Smith on the arts & crafts shelves, but for 1-10 sheets or for art tissue/handmade paper, Falkiners is the best place there is.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Fabric and Sewing Materials ===<br />
* [http://www.dalstonmillfabrics.co.uk/ Dalston Mill Fabrics] On the Ridley road market, close to the center of Hackney.<br />
* [http://yesilikethat.wordpress.com/2011/10/10/fabric-shop-review-ultimate-craft/ Ultimate Craft] Large stock of haberdashery, 149 Stoke Newington High St, London N16 0NY<br />

<br />
This page is used to track training sessions for the [[Equipment/Shapeoko2]].<br />
<br />
Training is available to London Hackspace members. You can pre-book your place below. If you have not yet joined London Hackspace, please '''[https://london.hackspace.org.uk/signup.php do so]''' before joining training!<br />
<br />
Space is limited and you must reserve a place on this wiki page when a session is available - watch the [[Mailing List]] for announcements. Reserving a place is on a first-come-first-served basis, so you'll need to be quick.<br />
<br />
If you can't attend your training session please remove your name from the roster. <br />
<br />
<br />
==Preparing for the session==<br />
<br />
You should come to the session having some knowledge of CAD and CAM concepts and have used a CAD/CAM package such as Autodesk Fusion (free, works on Windows or OSX) or other package capable of generating g-code for CNC machining. We will be happy to help with explaining concepts but depending on your background knowledge there is quite a lot to learn so you will get the most out of the session and the machine if you do some independent reading / practice.<br />
<br />
==Next Sessions==<br />
<br />
Please use the exact name you used to join LHS, so we can check your membership.<br />
<br />
Training is £5 and is payable at the start of the session. (this goes towards upkeep of the machine)<br />

<div>== HSRDP - ''Hackspace Robotics Development Platform'' ==<br />
<br />
[[File:HSRDP_mounted.jpg|thumb|Arm mounted on the base]]<br />
HSRDP is an attempt to provide a robotics platform for the hackspace to allow people to experiment with higher level robotics functions.<br />
[[File:HSRDP_arm.jpg|thumb|View of the arm]]<br />
[[File:UmiRTX100urdf.png|thumb|The basic URDF model for the arm]]<br />
<br />
The plan is to sit our [[Project:UMI_RTX_Robot_arm|UMI robot arm]] on top of the mobility aid scooter. Plug it all into [http://ros.org ROS] with some sensors and allow people to make their own nodes for high level functions<br />
<br />
It's part of the hackspace and collaborators are welcome, please get in-touch with [[User:Mentar|Mentar]] (IRC) to find out what you can help. It's a great learning exercise for:<br />
* the stuff that's required to get [[Project:UMI_RTX_Robot_arm|robot arm]] working<br />
* Robotics (more higher level stuff!) <br />
* ROS (point clouds, sensing, planning)<br />
* arduino<br />
* motor control<br />
* battery management<br />
<br />
[https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qfrzwpgauth3umx/w6-JFW_S_8 Link to random photos from the ongoing project]<br />
<br />
=== Status ===<br />
* [[Project:UMI_RTX_Robot_arm|Robot arm]] electronics replaced and working, need current feedback and control lines added.<br />
* The scooter base/drive-train has been fixed and the arm attached, though needs proper mounting as it's a bit wobly.<br />
* The drive train electronics are ready, they need to be installed together with the steering motor mounts (welding may be required) and halleffect sensors attached to the main drive motor with some magnets(ordered)<br />
* Power distribution is being worked, will be running off 2 12v batteries<br />
<br />
=== Updates ===<br />
==== Update 18/01/2016 ==== <br />
[[User:Mentar|Mentar]]: [http://www.aliexpress.com/item/lithium-battery-BMS-24v-6s-PCM-for-electric-bike-lithium-battery-24v-10a-20a-30a-battery/32410637669.html BMS] ordered, need to make or borrow a spotwelder to connect up the 6s6p pack that's ready to go. Cleaned up the repo so that the hsrdp_bridge firmware is in a working state. Could do with moving the firmware to work on the launchpad for FPU processing and proper PID, any takers?<br />
<br />
==== Update 09/01/2016 ==== <br />
[[User:Mentar|Mentar]]: Steering motor and potentiometer sensing rig set up, needs connecting to the electronics that were made for it previously. The battery is waiting to be hooked up but needs a BMS as currently it's only a 6s6p array of 18650, if you have any knowledge of of such systems please get involved (emailing the group or coming on monday evening! )<br />
<br />
==== Update 09/09/2014 ==== <br />
[[User:Mentar|Mentar]]: Inverse kinematics implemented, with a lot of issues during the last mile (Streaming the trajectory to the controller): http://youtu.be/CrpvGv78pwU Work mostly by AlexR<br />
<br />
==== Update 18/6/2014 ====<br />
[[User:Mentar|Mentar]]: Project being resumed. Arm components checked, aside from a stray wire all parts were working, stray wire brought back to home. Installed ROS on the robotics-i7 machine, ready for full on development of the inverse kinematics (move_it!) stack.<br />
<br />
==== Update 14/6/2014 ====<br />
[[User:Mentar|Mentar]]: The project has stalled a bit due to efforts to get it's bigger cousin, the Staubli, milling. There are plans to turn the bot into a robot bartender or the EMFcamp at the end of August, but still waiting from the organisers <br />
<br />
==== Update 25/2/2014 ====<br />
Salman: The ODROID-XU board is now running Linux and has ROS installed. Its IPv6 address is 2001:8b0:856:1:2a8:2bff:fe00:180, that should get added to DNS at some point. Send me your SSH keys if you want access to it! (The default user is glenda, and its home directory is the default workspace.)<br />
<br />
==== Update 6/2/2014 ====<br />
[[User:Mentar|Mentar]]: The sealed lead acid batteries are well are gone by the looks of it, so will be replaced with normal 12v wet cell ones. Stephen is working on the power board for it. I'm working on auto-calibration code but realized I can't really do without speed control so will be working on that.<br />
<br />
==== Update 6/1/2014 ====<br />
[[User:Mentar|Mentar]]: Sourced the 2 sealed lead acid (AGM) batteries (Pride 12V 55AH) but they are heavily sulfacated thourgh lack of maintenance, tried charging one at 12V and it's responding albeit very slowly (only pulling 70ma at 13V), will need to build a desulfating circuit to bring them back to life.<br />
<br />
==== Update 10/12/2013 ====<br />
[[User:Mentar|Mentar]]: We mounted the arm on the scooter base. Implemented PID control for the motors, though yet to test it live.<br />

[[Category:Space_Infrastructure_Projects]]</div>Mentarhttps://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/w/index.php?title=Sleeping_in_Hackspace&diff=49026Sleeping in Hackspace2016-01-19T01:08:59Z<p>Mentar: Adding alternative sleeping links and tips as mentioned by Naomi on the mailinglist</p>
<hr />
<div>[[File:SleepingInSpace.png|right|300px]]<br />
'''If you are looking for a list of places to stay go to [[Accommodation]]'''<br />
<br />
There's broad consensus among members (and non-members alike) that sleeping at the Hackspace is Not Good, which means that you really shouldn't do it. Hackspace is a place for working on projects or being otherwise creative, not somewhere to crash out.. It does not matter how much, how long, or how hard you've worked on a project (even if it is for the Space), you are not entitled to sleep in the Space. <br />
<br />
In particular, everybody at London Hackspace has the right to ask you to wake up and hack, or go somewhere else to sleep. As a community, we really really don't like people who either argue and are rude when they're woken up, or just go away and go back to sleep when the person who has asked them has left. <br />
<br />
== Alternatives ==<br />
If you don't have somewhere good to stay, here are some resources that may be useful: <br />
<br />
* [http://streetlink.org.uk/ Streetlink] phone on 0300 500 0914<br />
* [http://england.shelter.org.uk/get_advice/how_we_can_help/housing_advice_helpline Shelter]<br />
* [http://www.thamesreach.org.uk/what-we-do/on-the-street/get-help/ London Street Rescue]<br />
* [http://www.cityandhackneymind.org.uk/ Mind: City and Hackney] facilities to get a meal, support and a shower can be really helpful and it could an alternative place to spend time.<br />
<br />
See also [[Accommodation]] for hostel/hotel/B&B options.<br />
<br />
== Waking sleepers ==<br />
People who've been asleep for more than 15 minutes are likely to be grumpy when woken. If you want to be nice (you have no obligation to), avoid antagonising them and get them a cup of tea or water. You might also like to ask how they're planning to get home: at least they will have a chance to explain why they've ended up staying so late.<br />
<br />
It's important for us to keep track of repeat offenders, so please let the list, [[IRC]], or the [[directors]] know if you think it's unlikely to be a one-off.<br />
<br />
==The Story==<br />
Every couple of months this erupts again here is the story as [[User:SamLR|I (SamLR)]] see it:<br />
# Once upon a time ([[News_2010-08-03|well, August 2010]]) the space's community was small (<100 members) and we had this huge space (unit 24) to use. <br />
# Every so often after epic hacking people would crash out over night at the space to commence the hacking anew with first light (or 11am as the rest of the world calls it)<br />
# As the space grew things changed, unit 23 was acquired, weird urges were felt and hair started growing where it had never grown before, oh and we got more members (~140, 1st Jan 2011)<br />
# And then there was the [http://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space/browse_thread/thread/5d3ec87b9af7efb6 thread] (April 23rd 2011), in a simple time of a mere 260 members it was a simple request to try and go home to sleep rather than use the space<br />
# Later the [http://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space/browse_thread/thread/75741c1074e819b5 Rule] was added ("Do not treat the Hackspace like your home, it is a shared space. You should not sleep in the space.") and it was understood that you could sleep if there were exceptional circumstances or you were a visitor from out of town. Again peace was restored and all were happy (Sept 1 2011, 320 members).<br />
# This didn't last long, resulting in an epically long [http://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space/browse_thread/thread/47a3559be3eea9da discussion] in November<br />
# In Feburary of 2012 (380 members) after numerous group sleepovers through the cold winter, [http://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space/browse_thread/thread/8716e2804a4ff6a9# complaints] were received of people sleeping in the dark room<br />
# After [http://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space/browse_thread/thread/2f78a63dec6f1e94/591775f9b1999f73 discussion] the Rule was tightened ("Sleeping in the space is forbidden") <br />
# But the rule was [http://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space/browse_thread/thread/56bc0fafd9feb5fd ignored] and [http://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space/browse_thread/thread/4430b091db83277a ignored]<br />
# and so began the time of trolls...<br />

<div>== HSRDP - ''Hackspace Robotics Development Platform'' ==<br />
<br />
[[File:HSRDP_mounted.jpg|thumb|Arm mounted on the base]]<br />
HSRDP is an attempt to provide a robotics platform for the hackspace to allow people to experiment with higher level robotics functions.<br />
[[File:HSRDP_arm.jpg|thumb|View of the arm]]<br />
[[File:UmiRTX100urdf.png|thumb|The basic URDF model for the arm]]<br />
<br />
The plan is to sit our [[Project:UMI_RTX_Robot_arm|UMI robot arm]] on top of the mobility aid scooter. Plug it all into [http://ros.org ROS] with some sensors and allow people to make their own nodes for high level functions<br />
<br />
It's part of the hackspace and collaborators are welcome, please get in-touch with [[User:Mentar|Mentar]] (IRC) to find out what you can help. It's a great learning exercise for:<br />
* the stuff that's required to get [[Project:UMI_RTX_Robot_arm|robot arm]] working<br />
* Robotics (more higher level stuff!) <br />
* ROS (point clouds, sensing, planning)<br />
* arduino<br />
* motor control<br />
* battery management<br />
<br />
[https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qfrzwpgauth3umx/w6-JFW_S_8 Link to random photos from the ongoing project]<br />
<br />
=== Status ===<br />
* [[Project:UMI_RTX_Robot_arm|Robot arm]] electronics replaced and working, need current feedback and control lines added.<br />
* The scooter base/drive-train has been fixed and the arm attached, though needs proper mounting as it's a bit wobly.<br />
* The drive train electronics are ready, they need to be installed together with the steering motor mounts (welding may be required) and halleffect sensors attached to the main drive motor with some magnets(ordered)<br />
* Power distribution is being worked, will be running off 2 12v batteries<br />
<br />
=== Updates ===<br />
<br />
==== Update 09/01/2016 ==== <br />
[[User:Mentar|Mentar]]: Steering motor and potentiometer sensing rig set up, needs connecting to the electronics that were made for it previously. The battery is waiting to be hooked up but needs a BMS as currently it's only a 6s6p array of 18650, if you have any knowledge of of such systems please get involved (emailing the group or coming on monday evening! )<br />
<br />
==== Update 09/09/2014 ==== <br />
[[User:Mentar|Mentar]]: Inverse kinematics implemented, with a lot of issues during the last mile (Streaming the trajectory to the controller): http://youtu.be/CrpvGv78pwU Work mostly by AlexR<br />
<br />
==== Update 18/6/2014 ====<br />
[[User:Mentar|Mentar]]: Project being resumed. Arm components checked, aside from a stray wire all parts were working, stray wire brought back to home. Installed ROS on the robotics-i7 machine, ready for full on development of the inverse kinematics (move_it!) stack.<br />
<br />
==== Update 14/6/2014 ====<br />
[[User:Mentar|Mentar]]: The project has stalled a bit due to efforts to get it's bigger cousin, the Staubli, milling. There are plans to turn the bot into a robot bartender or the EMFcamp at the end of August, but still waiting from the organisers <br />
<br />
==== Update 25/2/2014 ====<br />
Salman: The ODROID-XU board is now running Linux and has ROS installed. Its IPv6 address is 2001:8b0:856:1:2a8:2bff:fe00:180, that should get added to DNS at some point. Send me your SSH keys if you want access to it! (The default user is glenda, and its home directory is the default workspace.)<br />
<br />
==== Update 6/2/2014 ====<br />
[[User:Mentar|Mentar]]: The sealed lead acid batteries are well are gone by the looks of it, so will be replaced with normal 12v wet cell ones. Stephen is working on the power board for it. I'm working on auto-calibration code but realized I can't really do without speed control so will be working on that.<br />
<br />
==== Update 6/1/2014 ====<br />
[[User:Mentar|Mentar]]: Sourced the 2 sealed lead acid (AGM) batteries (Pride 12V 55AH) but they are heavily sulfacated thourgh lack of maintenance, tried charging one at 12V and it's responding albeit very slowly (only pulling 70ma at 13V), will need to build a desulfating circuit to bring them back to life.<br />
<br />
==== Update 10/12/2013 ====<br />
[[User:Mentar|Mentar]]: We mounted the arm on the scooter base. Implemented PID control for the motors, though yet to test it live.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
We have a [http://www.megauk.com/production_lines.php Mega Electronics PB710S PCB Production line] etching station, obtained by a [[Pledge:_PCB_Etch_Tank|Pledge]]<br />
<br />
Note : see '''[[Pcb]]''' for other references<br />
<br />
==Important Warnings==<br />
<br />
* '''CLEAN UP AFTERWARDS'''<br />
* Do not run any heater unless the tank is full of liquid. It should blow a thermal fuse before melting the tank, but that may involve replacing the heater. Keep unused heated tanks full of plain water or disable the heaters by unplugging the associated connector inside the cupboard door.<br />
* Do not etch anything except copper (other metals will pollute the etchant).<br />
* Do not drink the contents, even when there's no beer.<br />
* Do not allow children or drunken hackers to play with the tanks. <br />
* Check the power has been turned off after use.<br />
* Do not dip a basket soaked in one chemical into the tank of another chemical.<br />
* Read the [[Media:PB BENCH Line and PCB Labstation instructions.pdf|instructions (pdf)]]<br />
* '''CLEAN UP AFTERWARDS'''<br />
<br />
==Less important warnings==<br />
<br />
* You normally place boards to be etched in the plastic basket under a tank lid, then dip it into the tank. If the PCB is too close to the open end, it will fall out. You may have to drain the tank to retrieve it. You don't want to do this, so put the pcb well into the opening and don't tip it forwards as you remove the basket from the tank.<br />
* Very small PCBs may fall through the holes. A possible solution is to put them in fine-mesh envelopes before putting them in the basket. Finding a suitable envelope is left as an exercise for the user (hint - look on the [http://www.megauk.com Mega website]).<br />
<br />
==Model==<br />
[[File:HackneyRoadEtchTank_small.jpg|thumb|right|The PCB station]]<br />
* Make: [http://www.megauk.com Mega Electronics]<br />
* Model: [http://www.megauk.com/production_lines.php PB710S] - PCB 7 tank production line with sink<br />
<br />
Manual: [[File:PB_BENCH_Line_and_PCB_Labstation_instructions.pdf]]<br />
<br />
==Controls==<br />
[[File:PCB_station_controls.jpg|right|thumb|Controls for the PCB station]]<br />
The leftmost button on the control panel is mains power. If you see it lit up when no-one is using the tank, please turn it off (but if someone _might_ be waiting for it to warm up, please check first!). Probably a good idea to switch off at the mains as well.<br />
<br />
Each tank and rinser then has a control section. Working from left to right, these are:<br />
<br />
* '''Developer''' - Heat button and 'heater active' light. Set to about 28&deg;C. Heating not normally required.<br />
* '''Developer rinse''' - Spray button activates spray bar.<br />

==Status==<br />
=== 1st Tank - Developer ===<br />
Working SENO4006 (concentrate, fresh as of 9-JAN-2016) <br />
Resupply with:<br />

<br />
=== 2nd Tank - Etchant ===<br />
<br />
Now contains CuCl2 etchant at ~3M strength. Ready to use. (Heater does not seem to shut down by itself so make sure not to overheat the solution, being worked on)<br />
<br />
Resupply: instructions below! Required materials are:<br />
* HCl<br />
* Copper<br />
* NaOH (for checking concentration)<br />
<br />
''' DO NOT put Ferric Chloride in this tank !!!''' In fact, please don't use ferric chloride at all - it silts up the tank and is really difficult to clean up. If there is some reason why we wish to use it again, it may be possible to use the 4th tank for it.<br />
<br />
====CuCl2 Etchant====<br />
<br />
The bath for [[Project:PCB Making/Cupric_chloride_etchant|Cupric Chloride etch]] was prepared using the slow method : leave some copper in acid, allow corrosion to occur generating some oxides, add further copper and acid as required. Water, acid, copper and hydrogen peroxide (if used) should be noted as it's easy to over-dilute if you just add stuff randomly. <br />
<br />
The preparation so far contains 540g copper, 2900ml 38% HCl, 1750ml water. SG is 1260. This is ready for use - air has been bubbled through it and it has reached the bright green colour indicating it has converted copper to cupric chloride. The acid concentration appears to be correct and I have reconnected the heater. If the etchant is not bright green, please leave the small fishtank bubbler running. The bubbles will regenerate the etchant.<br />
<br />
'''DO NOT ETCH ANYTHING EXCEPT COPPER IN THIS TANK'''<br />
<br />
See [[File:CuCl.pdf]] for maintenance instructions. These are basically : Check colour. Bubble if dark. Titrate against 1 molar NaOH to check acid concentration (this only requires a check for precipitate, no need for acid indicator). Add HCl if necessary.<br />
<br />
If you use it, don't rely on the small bubbler to provide agitation - keep it moving the whole time (and be careful your board doesn't walk out the end of the basket when you do that). The small bubbler is really only there to re-aerate the solution after use, as it's quiet enough to leave on.<br />
<br />
=== 3rd Tank - (water) stripper ===<br />
<br />
Currently contains clean water (mainly to protect the heater if accidentally switched on<br />
<br />
Stripper can be resupplied with:<br />
* [http://www.megauk.com/strippers.php Mega Electronics 600-019] PC155 Resist Strip 1 Ltr makes 5 Ltrs<br />
* [http://www.rapidonline.com/tools-equipment/etch-resist-stripper-75331 Rapid 34-0400]<br />
<br />
=== 4th Tank - (Water) ===<br />
<br />
Currently contains clean water (mainly to protect the heater if accidentally switched on<br />
<br />
===Planned changes===<br />
<br />
*<del>Use Cupric chloride in the etch tank rather than Ferric chloride, which is messier, requires frequent replacement and silts up the bubbler.</del> Has been done<br />
*Replace the bubbler in the bottom of the tank with a bar suspended from the basket, so that it's easier to clean.<br />
*Link both the large air pump and the small one into the same air supply so the cupric chloride can easily be regenerated (requires long slow bubbling rather than short fast bubbling) <br />
*It would be nice to have power without using the extension lead. The existing ring main might be extended fairly easily to put sockets on the wall near the sink.<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
<br />
The pump was replaced with a heavier duty medical unit mostly because it was cheap & available. The original was a fishtank pump and is still mounted on the front of the tank. It worked, but seemed not to have enough pressure available to overcome backpressure if the aeration tube had partly filled with etchant. Fitting it involved a few peculiarities, though.<br />
* There is a clamp on a branch of the tube near the pump, which can be used to restrict a controlled pressure relief and hence the vigor of the bubbles.<br />
* The pump is no longer fitted to the tank, but instead rests in the cabinet<br />
* It is still possible to remove the tank for maintenance: the cable and pipe connecting to the pump are very long but if they need to be detached the cable can be unplugged from the back of the pump and the pipe unplugged from the pump.<br />
* There is now a one-way valve between the pump and the antisyphon trap to reduce the possibility of etchant flowing into the pump.<br />
* The power connection to the pump has no earth wire connected and apparently swaps black/white colour coding. This is not just carelessness : the original black/white wiring apparently had black as neutral, white as live to the fish tank pump. The IEC lead to the new pump uses conventional euro colours : black is live. So black and white swap at the join. It's not very important as the pump doesn't have a preferred live connection.<br />
* The earth pin in the cable to the pump is not connected at the pump end (it's a 2-pin connector) so there was no point connecting it at the tank end.<br />
<br />
The piping requires some care. Because of the increased pressure available from the pump, if the bubbler is blocked it's possible for the pump to blow the pipe off the bubbler. This can then lead to etchant leak.<br />
<br />
At present, there are cable ties around the most important joints but NOT where it links to the pump. This tends to result in that joint breaking rather than any other, which is good because it's easily accessible and doesn't cause leaks. If there are problems with it blowing off too regularly, look into the cause : just fitting it more solidly is likely to lead to etchant leaks.<br />
<br />
Originally, I restricted the airflow into the tank (to avoid excessively vigorous bubbles) by pinching the air tube with a clamp. This often caused the pump connector to come off, prompting the use of cable ties. When the bubble tube silted up, it was that joint that came undone instead of the pump joint. This was a bad thing.<br />
<br />
A new configuration places a T joint near the pump with the clamp fitted to the additional open outlet. The idea is to make a controlled leak so that excess pressure is bled off rather than overpressurising the joints. It's likely that this will need to be adjusted as the bubbler silts up.<br />
<br />
The low-volume pump used for aeration is now teed into the bubbler pipe, so it will either bubble slowly from that or fast from the big pump. I had to add another non-return valve so the aerator air didn't all leak out the restricted leak. { diagram needed }<br />
<br />
==Instructions==<br />
<br />
The tank was previously in a school and there is a laminated sheet with usage instructions. It may not be applicable to our use but is worth looking at.<br />

If you're a member of the space we'll happily order components for you and take advantage of bulk discounts/free shipping. If the component you request is cheap, we may order more than you need and bring it into stock in the space (if that's the case, then it's free as above).<br />
<br />
Add items to one of the lists below if you'd like them to be stocked at the Hackspace or if you see that something's running out and needs reordering.<br />

== HTML5/JS simple web app ==<br />
<br />
Posted 1/SEP/2015<br />
<br />
Hello, <br />
<br />
I am producing a video series for the Guardian where we want to build an app that our presenter can use in her native L.A. <br />
<br />
To illustrate the positivities of Open Data we would like to build her an app that uses her geolocation, crime rates and public transport tables to provide the safest route home for her. <br />
<br />
We will need to build this app in the next 3-5 days and I am hoping to work with the Times in LA to use info they have collected to make this map. <br />
<br />
The app can be quite scaled down and the interface basically non-existent- this is a beta tool that shows whats possible with open data. <br />
<br />
If interested please get in contact ASAP. <br />
<br />
Thank you!<br />

== iOS / BLE App ==<br />
<br />
Posted 6th May 2015<br />
<br />
A research student based at Royal College of Art / Imperial College is looking for a developer to build a simple iOS (iPad if possible) app that will talk to a BLE device (currently working with https://punchthrough.com/bean/ but anything would do). <br />
On top of getting and sending data from the BLE device I will need to build a GUI, but that will come in a later stage, so not strictly necessary at the moment but experience in this area will be considered as a plus! <br />
<br />
More about their SDK here https://github.com/PunchThrough/Bean-iOS-OSX-SDK<br />
<br />
Please contact me at giulio.ammendola [AT] gmail.com for discussing budget and specifics. <br />
Thanks!<br />

== What? == <br />
<br />
We have a [http://www.chesteruk.net/store/conquest_mill.htm Conquest Mill from Chester UK] in the Hackspace. It drills (makes holes in things) and mills (takes layers of material off). It's ideal for use on metal, wood, and plastic. <br />
<br />
== Status ==<br />
[[File:Warning_sign_SLN.jpg|thumb|right|Warning]]<br />
July 2015<br />
It has a broken gear again, there doesn't seem to be any in stock with UK suppliers at the moment.<br />
<br />
May 2012<br />
Report on the mailing list of a whirring / wobbling sound. <br />
Needs checking. It's possible some of the gear teeth have been ripped off again.<br />
Does it make the noise on both the high and low gear settings?<br />
If the business end is rotated by hand does it turn smoothly or sometimes slip?<br />
<br />
May 2011<br />
Some of internal gearwheel teeth had been ripped off.<br />
It is likely that someone changed speed setting with the motor running, there will have been a loud grinding noise.<br />
<br />
<br />
Some cogs were purchased at moderate expense, [http://ansteckend.org.uk/ajp/vertical_mill_gears.JPG picture]. Nigel has spent hours disassembling, hammering and reassembling the mill.<br />
<br />
Please do not change gear with the machine running<br />
<br />

== General usage instructions ==<br />
<br />
# Figure out what you're going to do. Cut your material down to a roughly correct size, if necessary, using a hand tool.<br />
# Ensure the machine is fully off. <br />
# Clamp your workpiece securely and set up the tools you need. If your material does not fit in the standard vice - you may want to remove the front claw of the vice (lift the small black latch) and use a D-Clamp; or alternatively use the specialist clamps in the red plastic holder mounted against the wall to your right. http://techtv.mit.edu/genres/24-how-to/ has some nice videos as to how to do this.<br />
# If you're milling, make sure you've selected a milling tool and not a drill bit. (Drills are to drill a hole and only cut/mill/shave/shear at the end of the drill 'down' - while milling tools can go sideways and have sharp cutting edges all the way up).<br />
# Make sure your tool is suitable for the material you're using (eg. don't use a wood drill for a metal project). Check the speed you are using - some materials need a slow speed; some need a high speed - whilst one also take into account the speed you need to let the spirals take out the cut material. Google for 'milling speed feed' and/or calculator<br />
# Set the mill stops accordingly. These are the stoppers which stop the drill or milling tool from going to far. Make sure they're set so you don't damage the vice. If you're drilling a hole all the way through, you should put some scrap material under the workpiece as well as setting a limit. If you're milling, make sure the stops are set so you can't contact the vice top. <br />
# Before turning the machine on - make sure it is well clear of any material - and can start up without touching anything.<br />
# Turn the machine on. Do your work. If milling, don't try to take off too much material at once. Multiple passes result in a better-quality result and less wear/stress on the mill. <br />
## Beware that tools can get hot. And that hot tools may deform (i.e. get larger/longer). So keep the stress low and reasonable.<br />
## As well as moving the tool up and down (using either the coarse control towards the back or the fine control towards the front) you can move the table in an X-Y direction using the wheels. <br />
## Remember that there are limits to the lateral force on the milling tool (which can easily snap) and the clamp/column itself. You generally should not force it. If you see any observable bending or deforming when moving X-Y - then assume you are going to fast.<br />
# Turn the machine fully off. Remove your workpiece and clean up the mill. Try to leave things tidier than they were to begin with. <br />
# Be particularly aware that some materials (like stainless steel and aluminum) can be contaminated by other material. I.e. a spec of normal iron or steel on high grade stainless steel - especially when impacted at high speed from a drill bit or under pressure from the vice - will cause rust.<br />
## Remove any swarf from the mill/drill tool.<br />
## Clean the vice and surrounding desk using the vacuum cleaner. <br />
## Put the drill/mill tool back in its box. Beware that it may be hot.<br />
