<br />
We have a HPC LS3060 laser engraver and cutter, with a cutting area of 300mm x 560mm. Trained members can use it for the very reasonable rate of £5 per hour.<br />
<br />
[[File:Laser-cut-key-rings.jpg|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
<br />
==Training==<br />
<br />
You must not use the laser cutter without being trained. The laser cutter is unlikely to hurt you, but you can easily hurt '''it''' without training.<br />
<br />
Training is given most Wednesdays or Thursdays at around 8pm, is free to attend and available to all members but your place needs to be pre-booked. Space is strictly limited per session so you need to reserve a spot on the [[Lasercutter_Training|Training Roster]] when a session is available - watch the [[Mailing List]] for announcements. Reserving a spot is on a first come first serve so you'll need to be quick. 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 />
Training is currently limited to members only but this may change in the future.<br />
<br />
A good way to get notified of new training sessions is to go to the roster page, add it to your wiki page Watch list, and modify your wiki account preferences so that you receive emails when pages you Watch get modified.<br />
<br />
Feel free to ask for help on the [[Mailing List]], but please read the [[Mailing_list_FAQ|FAQ]] first<br />
<br />
==Costs==<br />
<br />
* Training - Free<br />
* Usage - £5/hour<br />
* Consumables - Bring your own and/or use what is in the off cuts bin, but always ensure (rather than assume) it's [[Laser_Cutter/Instructions#Chlorine_Testing_and_Material_Safety|laser safe]].<br />
<br />
==Safety information==<br />
* '''Don't touch the cooling system without asking first''': overheating or rapid cooling can damage the laser.<br />
* '''Never leave the laser cutter unattended while cutting''': your material may ignite, and an unchecked fire in the laser cutter could be both dangerous and costly. We've also seen mirrors go out of alignment and cut into the cables.<br />
* '''In case of fire''': use the CO<sub>2</sub> extinguisher by the laser cutter first. Do not use the powder extinguisher unless you feel that you can't control the fire. '''[http://bit.ly/LaserLogbookForm Put it in the logbook] and tell the [[Mailing List]]''': tiny flames while cutting are normal; anything more must be reported.<br />
* '''Never cut PVC or chlorinated plastic''': you should always know what material you are cutting, and chlorinated plastics should be avoided because they release chlorine gas when cut. [[Laser_Cutter/Instructions#Chlorine_Testing_and_Material_Safety|Guidelines for how to test materials.]]<br />
* '''You can't cut metal in the laser cutter''': if you wish to [[Laser_Cutter/Metal|mark the metal]], please use [http://hpclaser.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=17 Thermark / Cermark], or use anodised aluminium.<br />
<br />
==Using the laser cutter==<br />
<br />
# Make sure you're familiar with the [[Laser_Cutter/Instructions|operating instructions]].<br />
# Look up the [[Laser_Cutter/Parameters|parameters]] for the material you're using.<br />
# Use the [[Media:LHS-Laser-Cutter-Checklist.pdf|LHS Laser Cutter Checklist]] to ensure that you don't forget anything important as you cut.<br />
# [http://bit.ly/LaserLogbookForm Log your use] to help with the upkeep of the lasercutter. (Records can be viewed [http://bit.ly/LaserLogbook here].)<br />
# Pay for your usage - the cost is £5 per hour, which is just enough to cover our [[Laser Cutter/Maintenance|maintenance costs]].<br />

<br />
We have a HPC LS3060 laser engraver and cutter, with a cutting area of 300mm x 560mm. Trained members can use it for the very reasonable rate of £5 per hour.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
==Training==<br />
<br />
You must not use the laser cutter without being trained. The laser cutter is unlikely to hurt you, but you can easily hurt '''it''' without training. Training is given most Wednesdays or Thursdays at around 8pm, is free to attend and available to all but your place needs to be pre-booked. Space is strictly limited per session so you need to reserve a spot on the [[Lasercutter_Training|Training Roster]] when a session is available - watch the [[Mailing List]] for announcements. Reserving a spot is on a first come, first serve with priority given to members basis, so you'll need to be quick. 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 />
A good way to get notified of new training sessions is to go to the roster page, add it to your wiki page Watch list, and modify your wiki account preferences so that you receive emails when pages you Watch get modified.<br />
<br />
Feel free to ask for help on the [[Mailing List]], but please read the [[Mailing_list_FAQ|FAQ]] first<br />
<br />
==Costs==<br />
<br />
* Training - Free<br />
* Usage - £5/hour<br />
* Consumables - Bring your own and/or use what is in the off cuts bin, but always ensure (rather than assume) it's [[Laser_Cutter/Instructions#Chlorine_Testing_and_Material_Safety|laser safe]].<br />
<br />
==Safety information==<br />
* '''Don't touch the cooling system without asking first''': overheating or rapid cooling can damage the laser.<br />
* '''Never leave the laser cutter unattended while cutting''': your material may ignite, and an unchecked fire in the laser cutter could be both dangerous and costly. We've also seen mirrors go out of alignment and cut into the cables.<br />
* '''In case of fire''': use the CO<sub>2</sub> extinguisher by the laser cutter first. Do not use the powder extinguisher unless you feel that you can't control the fire. '''Put it in the logbook''': tiny flames while cutting are normal; anything more must be reported.<br />
* '''Never cut PVC or chlorinated plastic''': you should always know what material you are cutting, and chlorinated plastics should be avoided because they release chlorine gas when cut. [[Laser_Cutter/Instructions#Chlorine_Testing_and_Material_Safety|Guidelines for how to test materials.]]<br />
* '''You can't cut metal in the laser cutter''': if you wish to mark the metal, please use [http://hpclaser.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=17 Thermark/Cermark], or use anodised aluminium.<br />
<br />
==Using the laser cutter==<br />
<br />
# Make sure you're familiar with the [[Laser_Cutter/Instructions|operating instructions]].<br />
# Look up the [[Laser_Cutter/Parameters|parameters]] for the material you're using.<br />
# Use the [[Media:LHS-Laser-Cutter-Checklist.pdf|LHS Laser Cutter Checklist]] to ensure that you don't forget anything important as you cut.<br />
# [http://bit.ly/LaserLogbookForm Log your use] to help with the upkeep of the lasercutter. (Records can be viewed [http://bit.ly/LaserLogbook here].)<br />
# Pay for your usage - the cost is £5 per hour, which is just enough to cover our [[Laser Cutter/Maintenance|maintenance costs]].<br />

'''<div style="color:red">Please don't use the laser cutter unless you have been trained. </div>'''<br />
<br />
We have a HPC LS3060 laser engraver and cutter, with a cutting area of 300mm x 560mm. Trained members can use it for the very reasonable rate of £5 per hour.<br />
<br />
[[File:Laser-cut-key-rings.jpg|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
<br />
==Training==<br />
<br />
You must not use the laser cutter without being trained. The laser cutter is unlikely to hurt you, but you can easily hurt '''it''' without training. Training is given most Wednesdays or Thursdays at around 8pm, is free to attend and available to all but your place needs to be pre-booked. Space is strictly limited per session so you need to reserve a spot on the [[Lasercutter_Training|Training Roster]] when a session is available - watch the [[Mailing List]] for announcements. Reserving a spot is on a first come, first serve with priority given to members basis, so you'll need to be quick. 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 />
A good way to get notified of new training sessions is to go to the roster page, add it to your wiki page Watch list, and modify your wiki account preferences so that you receive emails when pages you Watch get modified.<br />
<br />
Feel free to ask for help on the [[Mailing List]]<br />
<br />
==Costs==<br />
<br />
* Training - Free<br />
* Usage - £5/hour<br />
* Consumables - Bring your own and/or use what is in the off cuts bin.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Safety information==<br />
* '''Don't touch the cooling system without asking first''': overheating or rapid cooling can damage the laser.<br />
* '''Never leave the laser cutter unattended while cutting''': your material may ignite, and an unchecked fire in the laser cutter could be both dangerous and costly. We've also seen mirrors go out of alignment and cut into the cables.<br />
* '''In case of fire''': use the CO<sub>2</sub> extinguisher by the laser cutter first. Do not use the powder extinguisher unless you feel that you can't control the fire. '''Put it in the logbook''': tiny flames while cutting are normal; anything more must be reported.<br />
* '''Never cut PVC or chlorinated plastic''': you should always know what material you are cutting, and chlorinated plastics should be avoided because they release chlorine gas when cut. [[Laser_Cutter/Instructions#Chlorine_Testing_and_Material_Safety|Guidelines for how to test materials.]]<br />
* '''You can't cut metal in the laser cutter''': if you wish to mark the metal, please use [http://hpclaser.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=17 Thermark/Cermark], or use anodised aluminium.<br />
<br />
==Using the laser cutter==<br />
<br />
# Make sure you're familiar with the [[Laser_Cutter/Instructions|operating instructions]].<br />
# Look up the [[Laser_Cutter/Parameters|parameters]] for the material you're using.<br />
# Use the [[Media:LHS-Laser-Cutter-Checklist.pdf|LHS Laser Cutter Checklist]] to ensure that you don't forget anything important as you cut.<br />
# [http://bit.ly/LaserLogbookForm Log your use] to help with the upkeep of the lasercutter. (Records can be viewed [http://bit.ly/LaserLogbook here].)<br />
# Pay for your usage - the cost is £5 per hour, which is just enough to cover our [[Laser Cutter/Maintenance|maintenance costs]].<br />

'''<div style="color:red">Please don't use the laser cutter unless you have been trained. </div>'''<br />
<br />
We have a HPC LS3060 laser engraver and cutter, with a cutting area of 300mm x 560mm. Trained members can use it for the very reasonable rate of £5 per hour.<br />
<br />
[[File:Laser-cut-key-rings.jpg|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
<br />
==Training==<br />
<br />
You must not use the laser cutter without being trained. The laser cutter is unlikely to hurt you, but you can easily hurt '''it''' without training. Training is given most Wednesdays or Thursdays at around 8pm, is free to attend, and available to members and non-members. Space is strictly limited per session so you need to reserve a spot on the [[Lasercutter_Training|Training Roster]] when a session is available - watch the [[Mailing List]] for announcements. Reserving a spot is on a first come, first serve with priority given to members basis, so you'll need to be quick. 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]]<br />
<br />
<br />
==Costs==<br />
<br />
* Training - Free<br />
* Usage - £5/hour<br />
* Consumables - Bring your own and/or use what is in the out cuts bin.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Safety information==<br />
* '''Don't touch the cooling system without asking first''': overheating or rapid cooling can damage the laser.<br />
* '''Never leave the laser cutter unattended while cutting''': your material may ignite, and an unchecked fire in the laser cutter could be both dangerous and costly. We've also seen mirrors go out of alignment and cut into the cables.<br />
* '''In case of fire''': use the CO<sub>2</sub> extinguisher by the laser cutter first. Do not use the powder extinguisher unless you feel that you can't control the fire. '''Put it in the logbook''': tiny flames while cutting are normal; anything more must be reported.<br />
* '''Never cut PVC or chlorinated plastic''': you should always know what material you are cutting, and chlorinated plastics should be avoided because they release chlorine gas when cut. [[Laser_Cutter/Instructions#Chlorine_Testing_and_Material_Safety|Guidelines for how to test materials.]]<br />
* '''You can't cut metal in the laser cutter''': if you wish to mark the metal, please use [http://hpclaser.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=17 Thermark/Cermark], or use anodised aluminium.<br />
<br />

Space is strictly limited per session so you need to reserve a spot on the [[Lasercutter_Training|Training Roster]] when a session is available - watch the [[Mailing List]] for announcements. Reserving a spot is on a first come, first serve with priority given to members basis, so you'll need to be quick. Feel free to ask for help on the [[Mailing List]]<br />
<br />
==Costs==<br />
<br />
* Training - Free<br />
* Usage - £5/hour<br />
* Consumables - Bring your own and/or use what is in the out cuts bin.<br />
<br />
==Safety information==<br />
* '''Don't touch the cooling system without asking first''': overheating or rapid cooling can damage the laser.<br />
* '''Never leave the laser cutter unattended while cutting''': your material may ignite, and an unchecked fire in the laser cutter could be both dangerous and costly. We've also seen mirrors go out of alignment and cut into the cables.<br />
* '''In case of fire''': use the CO<sub>2</sub> extinguisher by the laser cutter first. Do not use the powder extinguisher unless you feel that you can't control the fire. '''Put it in the logbook''': tiny flames while cutting are normal; anything more must be reported.<br />
* '''Never cut PVC or chlorinated plastic''': you should always know what material you are cutting, and chlorinated plastics should be avoided because they release chlorine gas when cut. [[Laser_Cutter/Instructions#Chlorine_Testing_and_Material_Safety|Guidelines for how to test materials.]]<br />
* '''You can't cut metal in the laser cutter''': if you wish to mark the metal, please use [http://hpclaser.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=17 Thermark/Cermark], or use anodised aluminium.<br />
<br />
==Using the laser cutter==<br />
<br />
# Make sure you're familiar with the [[Laser_Cutter/Instructions|operating instructions]].<br />
# Look up the [[Laser_Cutter/Parameters|parameters]] for the material you're using.<br />
# Use the [[Media:LHS-Laser-Cutter-Checklist.pdf|LHS Laser Cutter Checklist]] to ensure that you don't forget anything important as you cut.<br />
# [http://bit.ly/LaserLogbookForm Log your use] to help with the upkeep of the lasercutter. (Records can be viewed [http://bit.ly/LaserLogbook here].)<br />
# Pay for your usage - the cost is £5 per hour, which is just enough to cover our [[Laser Cutter/Maintenance|maintenance costs]].<br />

<div>This page documents projects that are causing problems for the hackspace because they're unfinished or unmaintained. <br />
<br />
Projects which have been abandoned are liable to be thrown away or repurposed to recover the working area and the components in them. Any project can be proposed for this treatment : this page is where the progress is noted.<br />
<br />
'''THIS PAGE IS A PROPOSAL - EXPIRY DATES ARE EXAMPLES'''<br />
<br />
In particular, no attempt has been made at present to contact the owners named. The action dates are therefore not yet valid.<br />
<br />
=Procedure=<br />
<br />
A project that has been noted (marked for deletion ..) should be added to this page and the date noted. The project owner - if there is one - should be contacted and must respond by updating the page within 1 month. The response may be one or more of :<br />
<br />
*Action taken towards completing the project<br />
*Documenting an acceptable plan to make progress on the project<br />
*Agreement that the project should be scrapped and a plan for disposal<br />
<br />
If this doesn't happen, the assumption is that the project will be assigned to the 3-week bin for eventual disposal. Initially, we'll say that consensus must occur for any project to be scrapped in this way. If the procedure is found to work we may be able to make the requirements less subjective. Other interested parties may change the requirements, disposal plans etc. but this will normally cause the 1 month waiting period to be restarted.<br />
<br />
Note that the owner is not necessarily the owner of the equipment. Some projects are the property of the hackspace. The owner is the person who initially drove the project and takes responsibility for it.<br />

Projects which have been abandoned are liable to be thrown away or repurposed to recover the working area and the components in them. Any project can be proposed for this treatment : this page is where the progress is noted.<br />
<br />
'''THIS PAGE IS A PROPOSAL - EXPIRY DATES ARE EXAMPLES'''<br />
<br />
In particular, no attempt has been made at present to contact the owners named. The action dates are therefore not yet valid.<br />
<br />
=Procedure=<br />
<br />
A project that has been noted (marked for deletion ..) should be added to this page and the date noted. The project owner - if there is one - should be contacted and must respond by updating the page within 1 month. The response may be one or more of :<br />
<br />
*Action taken towards completing the project<br />
*Documenting an acceptable plan to make progress on the project<br />
*Agreement that the project should be scrapped and a plan for disposal<br />
<br />
If this doesn't happen, the assumption is that the project will be assigned to the 3-week bin for eventual disposal. Initially, we'll say that consensus must occur for any project to be scrapped in this way. If the procedure is found to work we may be able to make the requirements less subjective. Other interested parties may change the requirements, disposal plans etc. but this will normally cause the 1 month waiting period to be restarted.<br />
<br />
Note that the owner is not necessarily the owner of the equipment. Some projects are the property of the hackspace. The owner is the person who initially drove the project and takes responsibility for it.<br />

==Laser cutter==<br />

None (previously Solexious because he did most of the maintenance).<br />
<br />
===Status===<br />
Coolbot has been repaired and the laser cutter is restored to normal operation. Solexious remains the chief maintainer.<br />
<br />
===Requirements===<br />
An owner is needed, taking responsibility for regular maintenance and providing continuity to repair efforts. Since the laser cutter is very important to the hackspace, the owner should function as a team leader with a documented fallback plan to cover absences.<br />
<br />
===Response===<br />
Only abandoned it due to time constraints making my time at the space very limited. Happy to take up the mantle early December and work on resources to help train more people in maintence - [[User:Solexious|Solexious]] 21:17, 5 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

<hr />
<div>This page documents projects that are causing problems for the hackspace because they're unfinished or unmaintained. <br />
<br />
Projects which have been abandoned are liable to be thrown away or repurposed to recover the working area and the components in them. Any project can be proposed for this treatment : this page is where the progress is noted.<br />
<br />
'''THIS PAGE IS A PROPOSAL - EXPIRY DATES ARE EXAMPLES'''<br />
<br />
In particular, no attempt has been made at present to contact the owners named. The action dates are therefore not yet valid.<br />
<br />
=Procedure=<br />
<br />
A project that has been noted (marked for deletion ..) should be added to this page and the date noted. The project owner - if there is one - should be contacted and must respond by updating the page within 1 month. The response may be one or more of :<br />
<br />
*Action taken towards completing the project<br />
*Documenting an acceptable plan to make progress on the project<br />
*Agreement that the project should be scrapped and a plan for disposal<br />
<br />
If this doesn't happen, the assumption is that the project will be assigned to the 3-week bin for eventual disposal. Initially, we'll say that consensus must occur for any project to be scrapped in this way. If the procedure is found to work we may be able to make the requirements less subjective. Other interested parties may change the requirements, disposal plans etc. but this will normally cause the 1 month waiting period to be restarted.<br />
<br />
Note that the owner is not necessarily the owner of the equipment. Some projects are the property of the hackspace. The owner is the person who initially drove the project and takes responsibility for it.<br />
<br />
=Projects needing attention=<br />
<br />
<br />
==Laser cutter==<br />
<br />
===Owner===<br />
None (previously Solexious because he did most of the maintenance).<br />
<br />
===Status===<br />
Coolbot has been repaired and the laser cutter is restored to normal operation. Solexious remains the chief maintainer.<br />
<br />
===Requirements===<br />
An owner is needed, taking responsibility for regular maintenance and providing continuity to repair efforts. Since the laser cutter is very important to the hackspace, the owner should function as a team leader with a documented fallback plan to cover absences.<br />
<br />
===Response===<br />
Only abandoned it due to time constraints making my time at the space very limited. Happy to take up the mantle early December and work on resources to help train more people in maintence - [[User:Solexious|Solexious]] 21:17, 5 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: [[User:Asc|Asc]] is pretty good with it, and has training from Sol. At the moment, it's working fine, but will need maintenance soon. [[User:Ms7821|Ms7821]] 21:20, 5 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

===Calendar===<br />
*Updated plan --[[User:Solexious|Solexious]] 21:22, 5 November 2011 (UTC)<br />
*Noted 'at risk' --[[User:Artag|Artag]] 11:55, 6 October 2011 (UTC)<br />
*Action completed. No further action required.<br />
<br />
===Disposal===<br />
If no owner is found, the cutter should be sold : if not maintained it will not work, and it still has some residual value.<br />
<br />
==Stratasys==<br />
<br />
===Owner===<br />
Artag/Hipster Chris<br />
<br />
===Status===<br />
The Stratasys has seen very limited progress after an encouraging start. Believed to now have all requirements except for some repairs to stepper control boards.<br />
:With various people contributing, Hipster got it working[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpUsUiTH8Fw] and has put instructions on the [[Equipment/FDM1650|wiki]]. Apparently still turns off periodically. Bumping up action time by 1 month. [[User:Ms7821|Ms7821]] 21:23, 5 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

Russ has requested that someone produce detailed proposals for electrics and plumbing. These can be bought out of hackspace general funds.<br />

Jonty and Phil had a chat about it on 3rd November, but I don't know what the outcome was. atom_ has offered on IRC to plumb the kitchen for us. [[User:Ms7821|Ms7821]] 21:39, 5 November 2011 (UTC)<br />

<hr />
<div>The [[Project:Staubli_Robot_Arm | Staubli Robot Arm]] needs a controller to robot and a power cable.<br />
<br />
Pledge leader: [[User:mentar|mentar]]<br />
<br />
==News==<br />
<br />
* Pledge started<br />
<br />
==The Item (original pledge)==<br />
On 7 June 2013 we got an industrial grade Staubli robot arm. The reason we got it is because the donor, Queen Mary's University no longer had the cable for it and got quoted over £3k to replace it.<br />
We have been in contact with Staubli and managed to reduce the cost and the best we managed to get was the following<br />
<blockquote>The discounted price for the cable is £2,025.75 + Delivery.<br />
<br />
It comes with an engineer and full test of the robot.<br />
<br />
It also comes sale or return, but return will incur a restocking fee of £675.75 as we need to deal with Paris, not the UK.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
Yep folks, that's over £2k for a cable. The alternative is for us to make our own! Paddy has managed to get a list of all the parts and the cost should be around £294.76 + a lot of soldering, crimping and patience. It's important to note that even if we make the cable all correctly there is '''no guarantee the robot will work''' but the donor assured us it was working fine before the cable was misplaced. There are at least 3 of us who really want to get the robot working and are willing to put the effort in as it's an amazing piece of kit with +-0.02mm tolerance for the end effector! i.e. it can be used for a lot of uses including:<br />
<br />
* 3D printing (maybe even similar to [http://www.petrnovikov.com/projects/mataerial/ mataerial])<br />
* 3D sculpting<br />
* precision drilling (e.g. PCBs)<br />
* pick and place machine for SMT components<br />
* stirring your tea<br />

<div>The [[Project:Staubli_Robot_Arm | Staubli Robot Arm]] needs a controller to robot and a power cable.<br />
<br />
Pledge leader: [[User:mentar|mentar]]<br />
<br />
==News==<br />
<br />
* Pledge started<br />
<br />
==The Item (original pledge)==<br />
On 7 June 2013 we got an industrial grade Staubli robot arm. The reason we got it is because the donor, Queen Mary's University no longer had the cable for it and got quoted over £3k to replace it.<br />
We have been in contact with Staubli and managed to reduce the cost and the best we managed to get was the following<br />
<blockquote>The discounted price for the cable is £2,025.75 + Delivery.<br />
<br />
It comes with an engineer and full test of the robot.<br />
<br />
It also comes sale or return, but return will incur a restocking fee of £675.75 as we need to deal with Paris, not the UK.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
Yep folks, that's over £2k for a cable. The alternative is for us to make our own! Paddy has managed to get a list of all the parts and the cost should be around £294.76 + a lot of soldering, crimping and patience. It's important to note that even if we make the cable all correctly there is '''no guarantee the robot will work''' but the donor assured us it was working fine before the cable was misplaced. There are at least 3 of us who really want to get the robot working and are willing to put the effort in as it's an amazing piece of kit with +-0.02mm tolerance for the end effector! i.e. it can be used for a lot of uses including:<br />
<br />
* 3D printing (maybe even similar to [http://www.petrnovikov.com/projects/mataerial/ mataerial])<br />
* 3D sculpting<br />
* precision drilling (e.g. PCBs)<br />
* pick and place machine for SMT components<br />
* stirring your tea<br />

Starting April/May 2013, full time, permanent.<br />
Salary: from £45,000 to £50,000 per annum.<br />
<br />
Recruiters: please don't contact us at this stage.<br />
<br />
At amee, we are looking for an experienced developer to fill a permanent position ideally starting end of April 2013. <br />
<br />
You will be working as part of a 5 person scrum on a number of Ruby on Rails and Java projects. We follow agile methodologies and expect you to be working from our office in London’s East End with the rest of the team and product owners. <br />
<br />
Your main focus will be on ameeProfile, our environmental business directory written in Ruby on Rails, and interfacing via a RESTful API with a back end application written in Java/Groovy using Spring; as a minimum you'll need to be comfortable working in these two environments. We're looking for someone who's happy to work across the full stack, including learning new technologies if necessary - of course the team will help with this as much as possible. There's plenty of scope for involvement in the direction of our technology, and if you're the expert in something, you'd be expected to take the lead. You don't need specific experience with all our tech, but any you do have is a bonus.<br />

<br />
''Posted 15/02/13''<br />
<br />
Asylum are looking for someone to join our team and to bring with them a good knowledge of microcontrollers and coding as well as practical skills in electronics. Some experience with mechanics and light engineering would also be useful. We work on a wide range of projects for film, tv, commercials and exhibitions, such as interactives, animatronics, HMI, and dynamic installations. At the moment we are hoping to fill a position ideal for a college graduate or someone with up to 2 years work experience. The position would start as a job-by-job basis with a view to contract or full employment if well suited. <br />
<br />
We are based in South London and have extensive engineering, CAD/CAM, woodworking, composites and general production facilities.<br />

==Web Developer @ http://www.icomon.org ==<br />
<br />
The Iconmon organisation needs a website rebuild. Essentially its a basic CMS with a slight graphics make-over.<br />
<br />
One definite change, which is that we would like there to be a password-secured area for the Board papers and other shared files that the Board need access to. There's no requirement to use any particular back-end, and in fact I don't know what CMS (if any) the hosting it is moving to has.<br />
<br />
Some form of written instructions for the above would be needed.<br />
<br />
The site wouldn't need to be built immediately, as it will take a few months to get a proper spec together, but at the moment the Board are interested in a rough estimate of the likely cost. <br />

== NIB DRESS FIXING ==<br />
<br />
I made this electronic garment with nibs - http://vimeo.com/24923549 - <br />
for my fashion degree graduation project. And since then I had to <br />
travel with it for a couple of shows. Unfortunately, it broke during <br />
the last move and it has be ready for another show the beginning of <br />
July. <br />
The guy I last worked with has become very busy with his own full time <br />
job so I am looking for someone that can fix it and also maybe suggest <br />
ideas to make it a lot more durable. <br />
I have very little knowledge of electronics and it would be really <br />
great if anyone might be available for this job. Or if you know <br />
someone else who might be interested in making a little bit of cash, <br />
or just generally interested in this kind of projects, please send <br />
them my way. My contact info is as below. <br />
Thank you so much. <br />

== Wireless Hack for Smart Phone - Building a prototype ==<br />
<br />
@ ioWorld (http://ioworld.com) we develop really simple, really useful tech...<br />
<br />
I'm currently working on a project requiring a hardware hack that's outside the scope of my own capabilities; I want to create a wireless fob that a smart phone (Android, to start with) can detect at approx. 100cm. Any protocol (inc. Bluetooth) will be ok for the POC/prototype but there is a strong commercial application for this tech, so ultimately a low-power protocol will be preferable. There has been a useful tech discussion thread on the hackspace groups channel entitled "Wireless Hack for Smart Phone" which you may want to take a look at first. <br />
<br />
Interested? Want to find out more? Get in touch ASAP: alan@ioWorld.com <br />
NB: This is also listed on the (very empty) NonCommercial board<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
== Linux/Unix Sysadmin @ NetDev (http://netdev.co.uk) ==<br />
We're a small (< 20 people) company based in Brighton specialising in teleco application development. We're currently looking for a creative Linux/Unix<br />
sysadmin to join an internal team of six to manage one specific VoIP conferencing platform for one of our clients. The platform runs a mixture of Open Source and proprietary tech, running on Linux. All our infrastructure is managed devops style with puppet.<br />
<br />
To apply you need solid command line skills and at least three years experience admining Linux boxes in a commercial environment. You need to have a good understanding of what makes TCP/IP networks tick and be proficient at scripting (shell, ruby, perl or python). Knowing a few of these is a good bonus:<br />
<br />
<pre style="font:small"><br />
Database administration (Oracle 10g, Oracle TimesTen, MySQL); VOIP (SIP, RTP,<br />
FreeSWITCH); Network sniffing and protocol analysis (tcpdump/wireshark); Java<br />
applications (installation/tuning/troubleshooting); J2EE application servers<br />
(Jboss); Scalability, clustering, high availability (Veritas Cluster Server);<br />
RedHat Linux and RPM packaging; Source code management (subversion); ticketing<br />
systems (JIRA); Automated server deployment (PXE, Kickstart); Configuration<br />
management systems (puppet); JMS messaging (ActiveMQ); CI systems<br />
(Jenkins/Hudson); Automated testing processes and tools (Cucumber/Selenium);<br />
Monitoring (Nagios/OpenNMS)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Don't worry if you don't know everything, we're happy to provide training where necessary. Having passion for systems and a bit of a clue are most important.<br />
<br />
If you fancy working in a relaxed and hacker friendly environment, where everyone has a say, please get in touch. Send your CV to<br />
[mailto:jane.brown@netdev.co.uk jane.brown@netdev.co.uk] and mention that you found us through the London Hackspace.<br />

<br />
== General space news ==<br />
* This is the first news in ages. In case you hadn't heard, we moved to a new space, [[447_Hackney_Road | 447 Hackney Road]].<br />
* We recently got more shelves and boxes for member storage. If you don't have box yet get in there quick!<br />
* A new interactive whiteboard has been put up in the classroom<br />
* Jonty has erected a new whiteboard next to the rear entrance for listing broken tools and items needing to be purchased. [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/london-hack-space/SoiSaLptFl8/KPwGBpk1Qa8J]<br />
* [http://aa.net.uk/ Andrews and Arnold] are sponsoring the space by giving us a free IPv6 only FTTC internet connection, this is now up and running alongside the existing IPv4 only FTTC line. Users of the space are reminded that it is still considered unexcellent behaviour to use the Hackspace's connection to do things that could bring it into disrepute e.g. copyright infringement via torrenting or file lockers. [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/london-hack-space/3AjVIRhABjM/eYC15BdCYKYJ] <br />
* We drafted up an [[Internet_Use_Policy |Internet Use Policy]] to help people understand what's acceptable.<br />
* It's been proposed to start holding "What do you do?" Talks on every other Thursday (first one planned for 13th June). Very roughly: everyone thinks their job is probably quite boring to other people, but everyone is interested in other people's jobs. What do all you startup people do all day? What interesting things have you done at work this week? [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/london-hack-space/sdclWtgXEN0/3MqESxguhkQJ]<br />
* [[User:Oni |Oni]] is planning a Sewing Class for 15th June. [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/london-hack-space/bbyIWkpfghs/Cf7No8KyL6MJ]<br />
* Alessandro (Zipporobotics) plans to be filming his robot project in the space on Friday 7th June. [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/london-hack-space/tv1NMGw0bik/PXjb4AtjEhcJ]<br />
* [[User:Sci |Sci]] has been doing lots of work on tidying and organising the wiki: [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/london-hack-space/CzW72-lkLLg/QKs9KAmSi7AJ]<br />
* Paddy found unlabelled models in the workshop. [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/london-hack-space/sDylUaSnRZI/SbSZ7YsG-dsJ] If these belong to you please be aware we have [[Rules]] on storing personal items in the space.<br />
* Henry Sands is organising a fund raising [[London_FRAGspace | LAN Party]]<br />
* A 25 metre Long Wire antenna (dubbed the [[Hacktenna]]) was put up in the Car Park running above the fence by tgreer, [[User:Wyan |Ruben]], [[User:Wiggler |Vic]] & [[User:Datagramm |Sam]]. It's been tested out on some HF Bands and seems to work well so far!<br />
* A gentle reminder that smelly foods in the space tend to linger so please be conscientious of your fellow hackers and not microwave kippers in the space.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
* The [[Equipment/Makita_Chop_Saw | Makita Chop Saw]] is in need of a new blade. [[User:solexious|Solexious]] is taking charge of getting the replacements.<br />
* [[Lasercutter]] still out of action but replacement parts are finally due to be delivered soon.<br />
* The maintainers of the [[Stratasys_FDM_1650 |Stratasys FDM 1650]] have been given until 13th July to get it working otherwise it's to get chucked. Get in touch with them if you think you can help save this monster 3D printer.<br />
* The cafetierre broke. Noko has replaced it with the HUGE one and is hunting for a better replacement. [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/london-hack-space/YlJ5GZWQR-M/vEmnyBGBUI0J]<br />

<br />
The Hacktenna was built by the Ham Radio hackers on the 1st of June 2013.<br />
<br />
It is a random length wire (with random length being around 20m) hanging about 1m above the fence, and insulated from the transmission line by a ferrite choke with five loops of wire. The antenna can be easily tuned with an ATU in most HF bands.<br />
<br />
Orientation is roughly N/S, so we hope to be able to communicate on the E/W direction (which leaves out Africa, unfortunately).<br />
<br />
We did two way contact with Italy, and heard several stations from Russia, Germany, and the UK.<br />
