== Attendees ==<br />
<br />
Every year, we go as a big group and set up the Nottingham Hackspace village. We offer something to EMF attendees (EMF2016 we brought BarBot, Snackspace and Fire Pong) in a canvas tent if possible. There is obviously a cost to this.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining the village for 2022, please fill in the table below. There is the opportunity for shared transport and to help pay the cost for the village (costs tbc).<br />
<br />
We are also trying for 2022 a [[EMF_2022_Ticket_Pledge|"pay it forward" ticket pledge drive]] - so there may be an opportunity to come on a free ticket that members of the Hackspace pledge towards - the trustees will organise the raffle if we get a ticket secured. See the <br />
<br />
Food is available on the site not necessitating a shared meal/BBQ stuff for this year. Snackspace will be run however for snacks and maybe morning coffee too!<br />
<br />
We are also doing a [[EMF 2022 Village Pledge]] to help fund the marquee, tables, chairs and core things for EMF.<br />

<br />
== Village ==<br />
<br />
List of things people are bringing to display/have used in the tent. We are having a small gazebo next to a workshop tent (1) we are helping run things in. We may do a fire pit in the camp area.<br />
<br />
Our area on the map: https://map.emfcamp.org/<br />
<br />
Our village page over there: https://wiki.emfcamp.org/wiki/Village:Nottinghack<br />
<br />
[[Image:Emf_2022_workshop_tent_1.PNG]]<br />
<br />
(new info) we're probably a 3x3 gazebo with a fire pit area nearby, and next to Workshop Tent 1<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Item !! Person !! Description<br />
|-<br />
| Snackspace || Andrew A and Mike H || Snackspace needs organising but will possibly be a "pay into a box or use your card here" deal will need further discussion so someone isn't stuck looking after it.<br />
|-<br />
| Morning Coffee || Mike Haber || Have proper pressed coffee in the mornings for people as part of Snackspace<br />
|-<br />
| Lighting || Graham and Ben's kit || Evening lighting (barbot time) using Ben's kit - DMX interfacing using a custom board<br />
|-<br />
| Candy Crane Machine dispensing curios || Kate Bolin || <br />
|-<br />
| Flipchart/Whiteboard on stand || Mike Haber || Good for writing messages and signs for the village<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Barbot - will be stored in Gazebo and maybe the Workshop tent depending on size<br />
<br />
== Nottinghack Village Volunteers ==<br />
<br />
We'll probably do a rough rota for the Nottinghack Village and snackspace so it is hopefully manned most of the daytime to show off projects and assist with Snackspace.<br />
<br />
We'd not leave anyone running a workshop alone if at all possible, and if they are we'd otherwise close the tent.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Person !! Availability (Day, time) !! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Andrew Armstrong || Every day, all times || Will be covering Barbot on some evenings and helping the workshop tent.<br />
|-<br />
| Michael Erskine [[User:Msemtd|Michael Erskine]] ([[User talk:Msemtd|talk]]) || unsure || I will help with Barbot and various other things.<br />

<br />
== What to Bring ==<br />
Here are some ideas of things you might want to bring with you.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Item !! Reason<br />
|-<br />
| Decent quality long extension lead||If you want power to your tent from the centralised power. 20M reel would be recommended to be sure.<br />
|-<br />
| 4-way extension lead or similar||Plugs will be limited, bring to ensure you have enough for your devices<br />
|-<br />
| Money||Money can buy food and/or beverages<br />
|-<br />
| Teacup||Having your own teacup you can re-use will help us out<br />
|-<br />
| Medication||Bring your own pain killers/hangover cures, we do not supply this! First aiders will be on site.<br />
|-<br />
| Camping Chairs||Chairs have been ordered for village use, bring your own to guarantee a place to sit and for your own tent.<br />
|-<br />
| Long Ethernet cable||If you want ethernet in your tent<br />
|-<br />
| USB cables|| The EMF badge charges via USB-C you'll probably want some for your own devices<br />
|-<br />
| Torch||It gets dark at night<br />
|-<br />
| Rubber Mallet||To help put up your own tent and others<br />
|-<br />
| Drinks||There is a bar but you might want to bring spirits or other drinks for yourself.<br />
|-<br />
| Snacks||To keep your going between meals<br />
|-<br />
| Toiletries||Stuff to wash with, towels, toothbrush etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Raincoat and Wellies||It will probably rain at some point and it's in a field<br />
|-<br />
| Sun Cream||There might be sun at some point and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Bug Spray||It's near water and some people have tasty blood<br />
|-<br />
| Jumpers, Jacket and Hoodies||It will be cold at night and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Painkillers || E.g. Paracetamol/Ibuprofen. Some people get ill, some get hangovers. These are cheap, small and occasionally necessary.<br />
|}<br />

== Attendees ==<br />
<br />
Every year, we go as a big group and set up the Nottingham Hackspace village. We offer something to EMF attendees (EMF2016 we brought BarBot, Snackspace and Fire Pong) in a canvas tent if possible. There is obviously a cost to this.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining the village for 2022, please fill in the table below. There is the opportunity for shared transport and to help pay the cost for the village (costs tbc).<br />
<br />
We are also trying for 2022 a [[EMF_2022_Ticket_Pledge|"pay it forward" ticket pledge drive]] - so there may be an opportunity to come on a free ticket that members of the Hackspace pledge towards - the trustees will organise the raffle if we get a ticket secured. See the <br />
<br />
Food is available on the site not necessitating a shared meal/BBQ stuff for this year. Snackspace will be run however for snacks and maybe morning coffee too!<br />
<br />
We are also doing a [[EMF 2022 Village Pledge]] to help fund the marquee, tables, chairs and core things for EMF.<br />
<br />

== Attendees ==<br />
<br />
Every year, we go as a big group and set up the Nottingham Hackspace village. We offer something to EMF attendees (EMF2016 we brought BarBot, Snackspace and Fire Pong) in a canvas tent if possible. There is obviously a cost to this.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining the village for 2022, please fill in the table below. There is the opportunity for shared transport and to help pay the cost for the village (costs tbc).<br />
<br />
We are also trying for 2022 a [[EMF_2022_Ticket_Pledge|"pay it forward" ticket pledge drive]] - so there may be an opportunity to come on a free ticket that members of the Hackspace pledge towards - the trustees will organise the raffle if we get a ticket secured. See the <br />
<br />
Food is available on the site not necessitating a shared meal/BBQ stuff for this year. Snackspace will be run however for snacks and maybe morning coffee too!<br />
<br />
We are also doing a [[EMF 2022 Village Pledge]] to help fund the marquee, tables, chairs and core things for EMF.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
== Village ==<br />
<br />
List of things people are bringing to display/have used in the tent. We are having a small gazebo next to a workshop tent (1) we are helping run things in. We may do a fire pit in the camp area.<br />
<br />
Our area on the map: https://map.emfcamp.org/<br />
<br />
[[Image:Emf_2022_workshop_tent_1.PNG]]<br />
<br />
(new info) we're probably a 3x3 gazebo with a fire pit area nearby, and next to Workshop Tent 1<br />
<br />
I will be putting a 3x3 gazebo in the village for the my mahjong room [[User:Msemtd|Michael Erskine]] ([[User talk:Msemtd|talk]])<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Item !! Person !! Description<br />
|-<br />
| Snackspace || Andrew A and Mike H || Snackspace needs organising but will possibly be a "pay into a box or use your card here" deal will need further discussion so someone isn't stuck looking after it.<br />
|-<br />
| Morning Coffee || Mike Haber || Have proper pressed coffee in the mornings for people as part of Snackspace<br />
|-<br />
| Lighting || Graham and Ben's kit || Evening lighting (barbot time) using Ben's kit - DMX interfacing using a custom board<br />
|-<br />
| Candy Crane Machine dispensing curios || Kate Bolin || <br />
|-<br />
| Flipchart/Whiteboard on stand || Mike Haber || Good for writing messages and signs for the village<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Barbot - will be stored in Gazebo and maybe the Workshop tent depending on size<br />
<br />
== Nottinghack Village Volunteers ==<br />
<br />
We'll probably do a rough rota for the Nottinghack Village and snackspace so it is hopefully manned most of the daytime to show off projects and assist with Snackspace.<br />
<br />
We'd not leave anyone running a workshop alone if at all possible, and if they are we'd otherwise close the tent.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Person !! Availability (Day, time) !! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Andrew Armstrong || Every day, all times || Will be covering Barbot on some evenings and helping the workshop tent.<br />
|-<br />
| Michael Erskine [[User:Msemtd|Michael Erskine]] ([[User talk:Msemtd|talk]]) || unsure || I will help with Barbot and various other things.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== What to Bring ==<br />
Here are some ideas of things you might want to bring with you.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Item !! Reason<br />
|-<br />
| Decent quality long extension lead||If you want power to your tent from the centralised power. 20M reel would be recommended to be sure.<br />
|-<br />
| 4-way extension lead or similar||Plugs will be limited, bring to ensure you have enough for your devices<br />
|-<br />
| Money||Money can buy food and/or beverages<br />
|-<br />
| Teacup||Having your own teacup you can re-use will help us out<br />
|-<br />
| Medication||Bring your own pain killers/hangover cures, we do not supply this! First aiders will be on site.<br />
|-<br />
| Camping Chairs||Chairs have been ordered for village use, bring your own to guarantee a place to sit and for your own tent.<br />
|-<br />
| Long Ethernet cable||If you want ethernet in your tent<br />
|-<br />
| USB cables|| The EMF badge charges via USB-C you'll probably want some for your own devices<br />
|-<br />
| Torch||It gets dark at night<br />
|-<br />
| Rubber Mallet||To help put up your own tent and others<br />
|-<br />
| Drinks||There is a bar but you might want to bring spirits or other drinks for yourself.<br />
|-<br />
| Snacks||To keep your going between meals<br />
|-<br />
| Toiletries||Stuff to wash with, towels, toothbrush etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Raincoat and Wellies||It will probably rain at some point and it's in a field<br />
|-<br />
| Sun Cream||There might be sun at some point and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Bug Spray||It's near water and some people have tasty blood<br />
|-<br />
| Jumpers, Jacket and Hoodies||It will be cold at night and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Painkillers || E.g. Paracetamol/Ibuprofen. Some people get ill, some get hangovers. These are cheap, small and occasionally necessary.<br />

I will be putting a 3x3 gazebo in the village for the my mahjong room [[User:Msemtd|Michael Erskine]] ([[User talk:Msemtd|talk]])<br />

We'll probably do a rough rota for the Nottinghack Village and snackspace so it is hopefully manned most of the daytime to show off projects and assist with Snackspace.<br />

== Attendees ==<br />
<br />
Every year, we go as a big group and set up the Nottingham Hackspace village. We offer something to EMF attendees (EMF2016 we brought BarBot, Snackspace and Fire Pong) in a canvas tent if possible. There is obviously a cost to this.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining the village for 2022, please fill in the table below. There is the opportunity for shared transport and to help pay the cost for the village (costs tbc).<br />
<br />
We are also trying for 2022 a [[EMF_2022_Ticket_Pledge|"pay it forward" ticket pledge drive]] - so there may be an opportunity to come on a free ticket that members of the Hackspace pledge towards - the trustees will organise the raffle if we get a ticket secured. See the <br />
<br />
Food is available on the site not necessitating a shared meal/BBQ stuff for this year. Snackspace will be run however for snacks and maybe morning coffee too!<br />
<br />
We are also doing a [[EMF 2022 Village Pledge]] to help fund the marquee, tables, chairs and core things for EMF.<br />
<br />

== Attendees ==<br />
<br />
Every year, we go as a big group and set up the Nottingham Hackspace village. We offer something to EMF attendees (EMF2016 we brought BarBot, Snackspace and Fire Pong) in a canvas tent if possible. There is obviously a cost to this.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining the village for 2022, please fill in the table below. There is the opportunity for shared transport and to help pay the cost for the village (costs tbc).<br />
<br />
We are also trying for 2022 a [[EMF_2022_Ticket_Pledge|"pay it forward" ticket pledge drive]] - so there may be an opportunity to come on a free ticket that members of the Hackspace pledge towards - the trustees will organise the raffle if we get a ticket secured. See the <br />
<br />
Food is available on the site not necessitating a shared meal/BBQ stuff for this year. Snackspace will be run however for snacks and maybe morning coffee too!<br />
<br />
We are also doing a [[EMF 2022 Village Pledge]] to help fund the marquee, tables, chairs and core things for EMF.<br />
<br />

== Talks/Workshops/Event ==<br />
<br />
A bunch of us are giving talks and/or doing workshops, because we like to hear the sound of our own voices.<br />
<br />
Also we'll be doing Nottinghack village workshops. Note below if you're doing it for the village or generally. The rota for the village will be arranged with those doing the workshops based on their availability so add that if you can.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Talk/Workshop/Event Name !! Person !! Workshop Tent !! Duration and Times It Can !! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Pop Up Cafe || Mike Haber/ Betty Ching / Hackspace || Yes || Mornings 9 - 10AM Friday, Saturday, Sunday (may be we can start a bit earlier?) || It was hard to get a coffee 'early' at the last EMF.

! Talk/Workshop/Event Name !! Person !! Location !! Duration and Times It Can !! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Urban Confessionsal || Mike Haber || Gazebo || 1hr - not full workshop, going to go in Gazebo - timing flexible (afternoon/evening) || We can run a listening event like https://urbanconfessional.org ||<br />
|-<br />
| Daytime Snackspace, Tea and Coffee || General || Gazebo || <br />
|}<br />
<br />
Other potential ideas but shelved for now:<br />

{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
! Talk/Workshop/Event Name !! Person !! Location !! Duration and Times It Can !! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Board Games || Andrew Armstrong (and helpers?) || Not set || 3-4 hours || Probably late afternoon board game period. May involve D&D for beginners too. May just run this for friends when time is spare.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Village ==<br />
<br />
List of things people are bringing to display/have used in the tent. We are having a small gazebo next to a workshop tent (1) we are helping run things in. We may do a fire pit in the camp area.<br />
<br />
Our area on the map: https://map.emfcamp.org/<br />
<br />
[[Image:Emf_2022_workshop_tent_1.PNG]]<br />
<br />
(new info) we're probably a 3x3 gazebo with a fire pit area nearby, and next to Workshop Tent 1<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Item !! Person !! Description<br />
|-<br />
| Snackspace || Andrew A and Mike H || Snackspace needs organising but will possibly be a "pay into a box or use your card here" deal will need further discussion so someone isn't stuck looking after it.<br />
|-<br />
| Morning Coffee || Mike Haber || Have proper pressed coffee in the mornings for people as part of Snackspace<br />
|-<br />
| Lighting || Graham and Ben's kit || Evening lighting (barbot time) using Ben's kit - DMX interfacing using a custom board<br />
|-<br />
| Candy Crane Machine dispensing curios || Kate Bolin || <br />
|-<br />
| Flipchart/Whiteboard on stand || Mike Haber || Good for writing messages and signs for the village<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Barbot - will be stored in Gazebo and maybe the Workshop tent depending on size<br />
<br />
== Nottinghack Village Volunteers ==<br />
<br />
We'll probably do a rough rota for the Nottinghack Village and snackspace so it is hopefully manned most of the daytime to show off projects and assist with Snackspace.<br />
<br />
We'd not leave anyone running a workshop alone if at all possible, and if they are we'd otherwise close the tent.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Person !! Availability (Day, time) !! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Andrew Armstrong || Every day, all times || Will be covering Barbot on some evenings and helping the workshop tent.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== What to Bring ==<br />
Here are some ideas of things you might want to bring with you.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Item !! Reason<br />
|-<br />
| Decent quality long extension lead||If you want power to your tent from the centralised power. 20M reel would be recommended to be sure.<br />
|-<br />
| 4-way extension lead or similar||Plugs will be limited, bring to ensure you have enough for your devices<br />
|-<br />
| Money||Money can buy food and/or beverages<br />
|-<br />
| Teacup||Having your own teacup you can re-use will help us out<br />
|-<br />
| Medication||Bring your own pain killers/hangover cures, we do not supply this! First aiders will be on site.<br />
|-<br />
| Camping Chairs||Chairs have been ordered for village use, bring your own to guarantee a place to sit and for your own tent.<br />
|-<br />
| Long Ethernet cable||If you want ethernet in your tent<br />
|-<br />
| USB cables|| The EMF badge charges via USB-C you'll probably want some for your own devices<br />
|-<br />
| Torch||It gets dark at night<br />
|-<br />
| Rubber Mallet||To help put up your own tent and others<br />
|-<br />
| Drinks||There is a bar but you might want to bring spirits or other drinks for yourself.<br />
|-<br />
| Snacks||To keep your going between meals<br />
|-<br />
| Toiletries||Stuff to wash with, towels, toothbrush etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Raincoat and Wellies||It will probably rain at some point and it's in a field<br />
|-<br />
| Sun Cream||There might be sun at some point and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Bug Spray||It's near water and some people have tasty blood<br />
|-<br />
| Jumpers, Jacket and Hoodies||It will be cold at night and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Painkillers || E.g. Paracetamol/Ibuprofen. Some people get ill, some get hangovers. These are cheap, small and occasionally necessary.<br />
|}<br />

In the late 80's I began working as a software engineer at my first real job out of college. At this particular company each employee's Unix username was made up form their initials and their job description. My role as a software developer in the Geographical Information Systems department defined my first real email address, IRC nick, etc. and has become a handy, generally easy to use identifier for life on the interweb waves.<br />

Simple means of showing status of Hackspace stuff on web and physical boards.<br />
<br />
= Basic Project Plan =<br />
<br />
* NodeMCU (ESP8266) with Arduino core for WiFi-enabled status board<br />
* NodeJS server for HTTP access<br />
* a good starter project for the [[NodeMCU_v2]] and [[ESP8266]]<br />
* open source software on GitHub https://github.com/msemtd/nodemcu-statusboard<br />

<br />
The driving of the 16 LEDs poses an interesting problem due to the limited number of digital outputs on the NodeMCU: we are looking for a simple low-cost solution so after looking at various ICs to perform the task I decided to throw in another inexpensive micro with plenty of I/O and control it with I2C, serial or similar.<br />
<br />
== Using a cheap ProMicro for I/O ==<br />
<br />
The NodeMCU can tell the [[ATMEGA32U4|ProMicro]] what outputs to drive with a simple serial protocol: -<br />
* ASCII for human convenience and same parsing code on both micros<br />
* same interface on both UARTS - USB and HW for simplicity and testing<br />
* The ESP8266-E is not 5v tolerant on the UART so I shall use a voltage divider<br />
** https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/product-files/2471/0A-ESP8266__Datasheet__EN_v4.3.pdf<br />
<br />
== Power Profile ==<br />
<br />
For my first tests I used a cheap 18650 power bank that one would normally use for recharging a mobile phone when off grid. It ran for less than 24hrs but I was not sure of the initial charge. Anyhow, there's no overarching need for this device to be battery powered so I will probably just run it from a spare mains phone charger but it has got me thinking about the power usage so I'm going to learn a little about that:-<br />
<br />
* I'd like a generic current logger that I can attach to various devices - e.g. the SparkFun Low Current Sensor Breakout - ACS712 https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8883<br />
* there may be ways of reducing the current draw for the LEDs<br />
* The NodeMCU - is it a power hog?<br />
* how efficient is our 5v ProMicro and can we save power by making simple mods and running it at 3.3v<br />
<br />
= Real Data =<br />
<br />
The various readings need to come from the Hackspace infrastructure. These can be exposed to the local network if we only want status board units to run in the space, but since there's little difference between a public human-readable web interface and the simple ASCII interface used by the NodeMCU, it may as well be a feature of our public facing web.<br />
<br />
= Simple NodeJS Server =<br />
<br />
The nodeboard directory (https://github.com/msemtd/nodemcu-statusboard/tree/master/nodeboard) contains a simple NodeJS webserver that dishes up board data cached in memory. <br />
<br />
* it uses the minimalist expressjs web framework (see http://expressjs.com/)<br />
* At startup it reads boards.json that defines the various status boards, the field labels, and the saved byte values<br />
* A human visitor would request URL http://server:port/sb/1/ to see a HTML representation of board 1<br />
* A NodeMCU would request URL http://server:port/sb/1/nodemcu to get a plain text string with the hex value for board 1 <br />
* There is a simple GET that will set the byte values of a board - this is an insecure example!<br />
** in reality we would be looking to authenticate users in secure manner (see http://passportjs.org/)<br />
* each board should be uniquely identified - most obvious would be to use the MAC address and embed this in the GET request header perhaps<br />
* each board uptime would also be useful - they could send GET queries at startup and every 20 minutes or so<br />
* each board could query its settings from the server<br />
* the server should track hits from individual boards - this info should be downloadable and chartable</div>Msemtdhttps://wiki.nottinghack.org.uk/index.php?title=Michael%27s_Microcontroller_List&diff=24569Michael's Microcontroller List2020-03-29T20:27:38Z<p>Msemtd: </p>

Hi my name's Michael Erskine and I'm a recovering software engineer. Please sponsor my efforts to move into the world of hardware where I can't just allocate an array of ten thousand objects to do my bidding. I can't even find the right capacitor!<br />

In the late 80's I began working as a software engineer at my first real job out of college. At this particular company each employee's Unix username was made up form their initials and their job description. My role as a software developer in the Geographical Information Systems department defined my first real email address, IRC nick, etc. and has become a handy, generally easy to use identifier for life on the interweb waves.<br />

== Attendees ==<br />
<br />
Every year, we go as a big group and set up the Nottingham Hackspace village. We offer something to EMF attendees (EMF2016 we brought BarBot, Snackspace and Fire Pong) in a canvas tent if possible. There is obviously a cost to this.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining the village for 2020, please fill in the table below. There is the opportunity for shared transport and to help pay the cost for the village (costs tbc).<br />
<br />
We are also trying for 2020 a [[EMF_2020_Ticket_Pledge|"pay it forward" ticket pledge drive]] - so there may be an opportunity to come on a free ticket that members of the Hackspace pledge towards - the trustees will organise the raffle if we get a ticket secured. See the <br />
<br />
Food is available on the site not necessitating a shared meal/BBQ stuff for this year. Snackspace will be run however for snacks!<br />
<br />
We are also doing a [[EMF 2020 Village Pledge]] to help fund the marquee, tables, chairs and core things for EMF.<br />

<br />
== Talks/Workshops/Event ==<br />
A bunch of us are giving talks and/or doing workshops, because we like to hear the sound of our own voices.<br />
<br />
Also we'll be doing Nottinghack village workshops. Note below if you're doing it for the village or generally. The rota for the village will be arranged with those doing the workshops based on their availability so add that if you can.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Talk/Workshop/Event Name !! Person !! Nottinghack Village? !! Time !! Notes<br />

|-<br />
| Laser cutter induction || Ali Maq || Yes || 15 minutes a slot || 1-2 people, limited amount at a time, Maybe an hour with 15 minute slots. Get a keyring at the end.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Village Contents ==<br />
<br />
List of things people are bringing to display/have used in the tent. Tent size is aiming for 6x9 meters with tables and chairs inside.<br />
<br />
Village size estimate for the application; 6x9m for big tent (54m2). 3x3m for fire pit etc. (9m2) 3x5m for van or storage space (15m2). 3x3m per tent on average and 20 or so tents (9m2 x 20 = 180m2). 54 + 9 + 15 + 180 = 258m2<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Item !! Person !! Description<br />
|-<br />
| Stop Motion || Gareth Howell and Andrew Armstrong || Laptop with iStop Motion - background thing to run on a table. Alex offers to do a button for the laptop to run it. Andrew will bring some Lego to use.<br />
|-<br />
| CnC Machine || Dan and Moop || Engraving names on wood. Kids can even do it.<br />
|-<br />
| Laser Cutter || Ali and Dominic || If Dominic agrees we can borrow the A3 for the weekend, but only if he agrees!<br />
|-<br />
| Barbot and fog machine || Andrew and others || Fog machine is notably a possiblity - is in team storage. Needs refills.<br />
|-<br />
| Home woodworking bench, plus vice plus woodworking tools || Dan || Dn wants a vice, to help with workworking stuff, and other hackspace tools.<br />
|-<br />
| Joust || Alex Roberts || for evening play!<br />
|-<br />
| Robot Table Football || Moop || 2 robots per team, ping pong into the opponents goal. May be able to get laser cut personalised clip on pieces (ala Robot Wars modifications) if we take the laser cutter.<br />
|-<br />
| Lighting Installation || Samathy and others || Laser display boards, lights and so forth.<br />
|-<br />
| Banner || Need to procure! || Mainly a note need to get sorted.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Nottinghack Village Volunteers ==<br />
<br />
We'll probably do a rough rota for the Nottinghack Village and snackspace so it is hopefully manned most of the daytime to show off projects and assist with Snackspace. This is TBC depending on Snackspace, and peoples availability (we'll just close the tent if no one is available and nothing is going on!). We'd not leave anyone running a workshop alone if at all possible, and if they are we'd otherwise close the tent.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Person !! Availability (Day, time) !! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Andrew Armstrong || Most times minus workshops being run || Will be covering gaps/helping organise<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== What to Bring ==<br />
Here are some ideas of things you might want to bring with you.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Item !! Reason<br />
|-<br />
| Decent quality long extension lead||If you want power to your tent from the centralised power. 20M reel would be recommended to be sure.<br />
|-<br />
| 4-way extension lead or similar||Plugs will be limited, bring to ensure you have enough for your devices<br />
|-<br />
| Money||Money can buy food and/or beverages<br />
|-<br />
| Teacup||Having your own teacup you can re-use will help us out<br />
|-<br />
| Medication||Bring your own pain killers/hangover cures, we do not supply this! First aiders will be on site.<br />
|-<br />
| Camping Chairs||Chairs have been ordered for village use, bring your own to guarantee a place to sit and for your own tent.<br />
|-<br />
| Long Ethernet cable||If you want ethernet in your tent<br />
|-<br />
| Micro USB cables||The EMF badge charges via a micro USB cable and you'll probably want a spare for your phone/kindle/tablet etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Torch||It gets dark at night<br />
|-<br />
| Rubber Mallet||To help put up your own tent and others<br />
|-<br />
| Drinks||There is a bar but you might want to bring spirits or other drinks for yourself.<br />
|-<br />
| Snacks||To keep your going between meals<br />
|-<br />
| Toiletries||Stuff to wash with, towels, toothbrush etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Raincoat and Wellies||It will probably rain at some point and it's in a field<br />
|-<br />
| Sun Cream||There might be sun at some point and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Bug Spray||It's near water and some people have tasty blood<br />
|-<br />
| Jumpers, Jacket and Hoodies||It will be cold at night and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Painkillers || E.g. Paracetamol/Ibuprofen. Some people get ill, some get hangovers. These are cheap, small and occasionally necessary.<br />
|}<br />

== Meetings ==<br />
<br />
EMF meetings and notes:<br />
* [[/EMF Meeting 2020-01-17|2020-01-17]]<br />

== Nottinghack Projects ==<br />
<br />
If you're planning to do a project to take to EMF 2020 and might want to collaborate with others or group together for transport etc, please consider adding a page to this section.<br />
<br />
==== Previous EMF Projects ====<br />
<br />
* [[Wunderkammer]] in 2018 setup by Kate in our small village<br />
* [[BarBot EMF 2016|BarBot]] - Mouse and volunteers ran BarBot. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. They needed at least three people during the event and one coordinator/planner pre- and during the event. Mouse has agreed this can be run in 2020 if it's not him doing it (Andrew looking into this)<br />
* [[Fire Pong]] - Nottinghack collaboration resulting in an attraction involving fire, giant ping pong bats and 1-D pong. Enormously popular.<br />
<br />
===Overall===<br />
<br />
* MORE NOTTINGHACK FLAGS AND STUFF - big banners, branding!<br />
* Bring more bottle openers<br />
* If we keep doing big stuff like snackspace and barbot, may as well just hire a 6x6 tent to have both inside, away from our village kit.<br />
** Also extra room for storage too.<br />
<br />
=== Ikea Furniture Building Challenge ===<br />
<br />
Dominic suggests: team based Ikea building to a timer.<br />
* Practice your billy bookcase in advance!<br />
* Build in the Nottinghack Village<br />
* Kallax 2x4 to build (would need a few in case they break probably)<br />
* Only Ikea tools<br />
* Timed and a high score list<br />
<br />
===Snackspace===<br />
<br />
* We'll need the card reader from the space for this and workshop payments<br />
* Expanded range; crisps, energy bars, non-fizzy drinks, fruit<br />
* Overall worked really well<br />
* Better signage<br />
* Ensure whatever card payment method we use has its own dedicated gps (to avoid thinking we're in Holland because of the wifi)<br />
** Cheap/unused android phone as a dedicated device? Frees up the Fire even more then.<br />
* 2x boxes of cola bottles sold out fast - recommend 3 at least<br />
* Dedicated fridge for drinks was v successful<br />
* Hand sanitizer - lots<br />
<br />
===Barbot===<br />
{{main|BarBot}}<br />
You can log any software improvements/fixes that might help as [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/issues issues] on github (DanielS).<br />
<br />
* People fucking love some robo-cocktails<br />
* Better signage - pre-print and laminate some signs with instructions / address at the hackspace<br />
* HS2.5 Badge rewards for donating worked really well<br />
* Make sure Kindle Fire is charged!<br />
* Grenadine gets ''everywhere''<br />
* Background music on final day worked well <br />
* Enough lighting to avoid having to use fluorescent lights (fairy lights were good)<br />
** Cheap RGB strips? Could even wire them up to respond to music<br />
* Grenadine syringe refill is tedious - "''there has to be a better way!''" - need to look into this<br />
* better dasher refill technique needed - there's a hole in the top of each bottle so let's use it!<br />
* umbrella in every drink - it's the final flourish and the disappointment of the users was evident - could require a wider hi-ball glass or more adjustable brolly dropper<br />
* cherry conveyor was rarely working - way sticky - needs a teardown and clean and the cherries need rinsing before adding<br />
** Also something to make the belt a bit grippier - little cocktail stick sections glued on the outside?<br />
* also the ability to load more cherries (and other consumables) from behind barbot would have a better effect<br />
* our working layout was spoiling the automation wonder effect - having a human slave carry a glass to the far end of the track - being able to add a glass from the other end and preferably from behind barbot would be better.<br />
**For 2014 we had the optics end against one tent wall and the 'loading' end free - this is probably the optimal layout for now (unless we change how stuff is loaded)<br />

== Attendees ==<br />
<br />
Every year, we go as a big group and set up the Nottingham Hackspace village. We offer something to EMF attendees (EMF2016 we brought BarBot, Snackspace and Fire Pong) in a canvas tent if possible. There is obviously a cost to this.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining the village for 2020, please fill in the table below. There is the opportunity for shared transport and to help pay the cost for the village (costs tbc).<br />
<br />
We are also trying for 2020 a [[EMF_2020_Ticket_Pledge|"pay it forward" ticket pledge drive]] - so there may be an opportunity to come on a free ticket that members of the Hackspace pledge towards - the trustees will organise the raffle if we get a ticket secured. See the <br />
<br />
Food is available on the site not necessitating a shared meal/BBQ stuff for this year. Snackspace will be run however for snacks!<br />
<br />
We are also doing a [[EMF 2020 Village Pledge]] to help fund the marquee, tables, chairs and core things for EMF.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
== Village Contents ==<br />
<br />
List of things people are bringing to display/have used in the tent. Tent size is aiming for 6x9 meters with tables and chairs inside.<br />
<br />
Village size estimate for the application; 6x9m for big tent (54m2). 3x3m for fire pit etc. (9m2) 3x5m for van or storage space (15m2). 3x3m per tent on average and 20 or so tents (9m2 x 20 = 180m2). 54 + 9 + 15 + 180 = 258m2<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Item !! Person !! Description<br />
|-<br />
| Stop Motion || Gareth Howell and Andrew Armstrong || Laptop with iStop Motion - background thing to run on a table. Alex offers to do a button for the laptop to run it. Andrew will bring some Lego to use.<br />
|-<br />
| CnC Machine || Dan and Moop || Engraving names on wood. Kids can even do it.<br />
|-<br />
| Laser Cutter || Ali and Dominic || If Dominic agrees we can borrow the A3 for the weekend, but only if he agrees!<br />
|-<br />

|-<br />
| Banner || Need to procure! || Mainly a note need to get sorted.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Nottinghack Village Volunteers ==<br />
<br />
We'll probably do a rough rota for the Nottinghack Village and snackspace so it is hopefully manned most of the daytime to show off projects and assist with Snackspace. This is TBC depending on Snackspace, and peoples availability (we'll just close the tent if no one is available and nothing is going on!). We'd not leave anyone running a workshop alone if at all possible, and if they are we'd otherwise close the tent.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Person !! Availability (Day, time) !! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Andrew Armstrong || Most times minus workshops being run || Will be covering gaps/helping organise<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== What to Bring ==<br />
Here are some ideas of things you might want to bring with you.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Item !! Reason<br />
|-<br />
| Decent quality long extension lead||If you want power to your tent from the centralised power. 20M reel would be recommended to be sure.<br />
|-<br />
| 4-way extension lead or similar||Plugs will be limited, bring to ensure you have enough for your devices<br />
|-<br />
| Money||Money can buy food and/or beverages<br />
|-<br />
| Teacup||Having your own teacup you can re-use will help us out<br />
|-<br />
| Medication||Bring your own pain killers/hangover cures, we do not supply this! First aiders will be on site.<br />
|-<br />
| Camping Chairs||Chairs have been ordered for village use, bring your own to guarantee a place to sit and for your own tent.<br />
|-<br />
| Long Ethernet cable||If you want ethernet in your tent<br />
|-<br />
| Micro USB cables||The EMF badge charges via a micro USB cable and you'll probably want a spare for your phone/kindle/tablet etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Torch||It gets dark at night<br />
|-<br />
| Rubber Mallet||To help put up your own tent and others<br />
|-<br />
| Drinks||There is a bar but you might want to bring spirits or other drinks for yourself.<br />
|-<br />
| Snacks||To keep your going between meals<br />
|-<br />
| Toiletries||Stuff to wash with, towels, toothbrush etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Raincoat and Wellies||It will probably rain at some point and it's in a field<br />
|-<br />
| Sun Cream||There might be sun at some point and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Bug Spray||It's near water and some people have tasty blood<br />
|-<br />
| Jumpers, Jacket and Hoodies||It will be cold at night and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Painkillers || E.g. Paracetamol/Ibuprofen. Some people get ill, some get hangovers. These are cheap, small and occasionally necessary.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Meetings ==<br />
<br />
EMF meetings and notes:<br />
* [[/EMF Meeting 2020-01-17|2020-01-17]]<br />
* [[/EMF Meeting 2020-02-19|2020-02-19]]<br />
<br />
== Nottinghack Projects ==<br />
<br />
If you're planning to do a project to take to EMF 2020 and might want to collaborate with others or group together for transport etc, please consider adding a page to this section.<br />
<br />
==== Previous EMF Projects ====<br />
<br />
* [[Wunderkammer]] in 2018 setup by Kate in our small village<br />
* [[BarBot EMF 2016|BarBot]] - Mouse and volunteers ran BarBot. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. They needed at least three people during the event and one coordinator/planner pre- and during the event. Mouse has agreed this can be run in 2020 if it's not him doing it (Andrew looking into this)<br />
* [[Fire Pong]] - Nottinghack collaboration resulting in an attraction involving fire, giant ping pong bats and 1-D pong. Enormously popular.<br />
<br />
===Overall===<br />
<br />
* MORE NOTTINGHACK FLAGS AND STUFF - big banners, branding!<br />
* Bring more bottle openers<br />
* If we keep doing big stuff like snackspace and barbot, may as well just hire a 6x6 tent to have both inside, away from our village kit.<br />
** Also extra room for storage too.<br />
<br />
=== Ikea Furniture Building Challenge ===<br />
<br />
Dominic suggests: team based Ikea building to a timer.<br />
* Practice your billy bookcase in advance!<br />
* Build in the Nottinghack Village<br />
* Kallax 2x4 to build (would need a few in case they break probably)<br />
* Only Ikea tools<br />
* Timed and a high score list<br />
<br />
===Snackspace===<br />
<br />
* We'll need the card reader from the space for this and workshop payments<br />
* Expanded range; crisps, energy bars, non-fizzy drinks, fruit<br />
* Overall worked really well<br />
* Better signage<br />
* Ensure whatever card payment method we use has its own dedicated gps (to avoid thinking we're in Holland because of the wifi)<br />
** Cheap/unused android phone as a dedicated device? Frees up the Fire even more then.<br />
* 2x boxes of cola bottles sold out fast - recommend 3 at least<br />
* Dedicated fridge for drinks was v successful<br />
* Hand sanitizer - lots<br />
<br />
===Barbot===<br />
{{main|BarBot}}<br />
You can log any software improvements/fixes that might help as [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/issues issues] on github (DanielS).<br />
<br />
* People fucking love some robo-cocktails<br />
* Better signage - pre-print and laminate some signs with instructions / address at the hackspace<br />
* HS2.5 Badge rewards for donating worked really well<br />
* Make sure Kindle Fire is charged!<br />
* Grenadine gets ''everywhere''<br />
* Background music on final day worked well <br />
* Enough lighting to avoid having to use fluorescent lights (fairy lights were good)<br />
** Cheap RGB strips? Could even wire them up to respond to music<br />
* Grenadine syringe refill is tedious - "''there has to be a better way!''" - need to look into this<br />
* better dasher refill technique needed - there's a hole in the top of each bottle so let's use it!<br />
* umbrella in every drink - it's the final flourish and the disappointment of the users was evident - could require a wider hi-ball glass or more adjustable brolly dropper<br />
* cherry conveyor was rarely working - way sticky - needs a teardown and clean and the cherries need rinsing before adding<br />
** Also something to make the belt a bit grippier - little cocktail stick sections glued on the outside?<br />
* also the ability to load more cherries (and other consumables) from behind barbot would have a better effect<br />
* our working layout was spoiling the automation wonder effect - having a human slave carry a glass to the far end of the track - being able to add a glass from the other end and preferably from behind barbot would be better.<br />
**For 2014 we had the optics end against one tent wall and the 'loading' end free - this is probably the optimal layout for now (unless we change how stuff is loaded)<br />
**Can umbrella dispenser be hinged? Can be flipped up to load from behind and dropped for dispensing then<br />
* losing track of the hi-ball glass riser kinda sucked with the flow of operating<br />
** we discovered both kinds of glass could hold the same amount - maybe just rock it with cocktail glasses?<br />
* more human slaves required - this is a good money spinner and worth more members available to serve is better<br />
* one of the mixer taps needs repair and some of the MDF is starting to swell from moisture!<br />
* some sort of status screen might be good?<br />
** Taking the number screen again would be great<br />
* <s>have field on web interface to give a name when ordering - would be so much easier to locate who had what number!</s> - [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/commit/750c588d0a9898f7c4afba8019e98deccdb8af61 Already implemented] and tested on the the last day of EMF 2016<br />

List of things people are bringing to display/have used in the tent. Tent size is aiming for 6x9 meters with tables and chairs inside.<br />
<br />
Village size estimate for the application; 6x9m for big tent (54m2). 3x3m for fire pit etc. (9m2) 3x5m for van or storage space (15m2). 3x3m per tent on average and 20 or so tents (9m2 x 20 = 180m2). 54 + 9 + 15 + 180 = 258m2<br />

== Nottinghack Village Volunteers ==<br />
<br />
We'll probably do a rough rota for the Nottinghack Village and snackspace so it is hopefully manned most of the daytime to show off projects and assist with Snackspace. This is TBC depending on Snackspace, and peoples availability (we'll just close the tent if no one is available and nothing is going on!). We'd not leave anyone running a workshop alone if at all possible, and if they are we'd otherwise close the tent.<br />

<br />
== What to Bring ==<br />
Here are some ideas of things you might want to bring with you.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Item !! Reason<br />
|-<br />
| Decent quality long extension lead||If you want power to your tent from the centralised power. 20M reel would be recommended to be sure.<br />
|-<br />
| 4-way extension lead or similar||Plugs will be limited, bring to ensure you have enough for your devices<br />
|-<br />
| Money||Money can buy food and/or beverages<br />
|-<br />
| Teacup||Having your own teacup you can re-use will help us out<br />
|-<br />
| Medication||Bring your own pain killers/hangover cures, we do not supply this! First aiders will be on site.<br />
|-<br />
| Camping Chairs||Chairs have been ordered for village use, bring your own to guarantee a place to sit and for your own tent.<br />
|-<br />
| Long Ethernet cable||If you want ethernet in your tent<br />
|-<br />
| Micro USB cables||The EMF badge charges via a micro USB cable and you'll probably want a spare for your phone/kindle/tablet etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Torch||It gets dark at night<br />
|-<br />
| Rubber Mallet||To help put up your own tent and others<br />
|-<br />
| Drinks||There is a bar but you might want to bring spirits or other drinks for yourself.<br />
|-<br />
| Snacks||To keep your going between meals<br />
|-<br />
| Toiletries||Stuff to wash with, towels, toothbrush etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Raincoat and Wellies||It will probably rain at some point and it's in a field<br />
|-<br />
| Sun Cream||There might be sun at some point and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Bug Spray||It's near water and some people have tasty blood<br />
|-<br />
| Jumpers, Jacket and Hoodies||It will be cold at night and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Painkillers || E.g. Paracetamol/Ibuprofen. Some people get ill, some get hangovers. These are cheap, small and occasionally necessary.<br />
|}<br />

If you're planning to do a project to take to EMF 2020 and might want to collaborate with others or group together for transport etc, please consider adding a page to this section.<br />
<br />
==== Previous EMF Projects ====<br />
<br />
* [[Wunderkammer]] in 2018 setup by Kate in our small village<br />
* [[BarBot EMF 2016|BarBot]] - Mouse and volunteers ran BarBot. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. They needed at least three people during the event and one coordinator/planner pre- and during the event. Mouse has agreed this can be run in 2020 if it's not him doing it (Andrew looking into this)<br />
* [[Fire Pong]] - Nottinghack collaboration resulting in an attraction involving fire, giant ping pong bats and 1-D pong. Enormously popular.<br />
<br />
===Overall===<br />
<br />
* MORE NOTTINGHACK FLAGS AND STUFF - big banners, branding!<br />
* Bring more bottle openers<br />
* If we keep doing big stuff like snackspace and barbot, may as well just hire a 6x6 tent to have both inside, away from our village kit.<br />
** Also extra room for storage too.<br />
<br />
=== Ikea Furniture Building Challenge ===<br />
<br />
Dominic suggests: team based Ikea building to a timer.<br />
* Practice your billy bookcase in advance!<br />
* Build in the Nottinghack Village<br />
* Kallax 2x4 to build (would need a few in case they break probably)<br />
* Only Ikea tools<br />
* Timed and a high score list<br />
<br />
===Snackspace===<br />
<br />
* We'll need the card reader from the space for this and workshop payments<br />
* Expanded range; crisps, energy bars, non-fizzy drinks, fruit<br />
* Overall worked really well<br />
* Better signage<br />
* Ensure whatever card payment method we use has its own dedicated gps (to avoid thinking we're in Holland because of the wifi)<br />
** Cheap/unused android phone as a dedicated device? Frees up the Fire even more then.<br />
* 2x boxes of cola bottles sold out fast - recommend 3 at least<br />
* Dedicated fridge for drinks was v successful<br />
* Hand sanitizer - lots<br />
<br />
===Barbot===<br />
{{main|BarBot}}<br />
You can log any software improvements/fixes that might help as [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/issues issues] on github (DanielS).<br />
<br />
* People fucking love some robo-cocktails<br />
* Better signage - pre-print and laminate some signs with instructions / address at the hackspace<br />
* HS2.5 Badge rewards for donating worked really well<br />
* Make sure Kindle Fire is charged!<br />
* Grenadine gets ''everywhere''<br />
* Background music on final day worked well <br />
* Enough lighting to avoid having to use fluorescent lights (fairy lights were good)<br />
** Cheap RGB strips? Could even wire them up to respond to music<br />
* Grenadine syringe refill is tedious - "''there has to be a better way!''" - need to look into this<br />
* better dasher refill technique needed - there's a hole in the top of each bottle so let's use it!<br />
* umbrella in every drink - it's the final flourish and the disappointment of the users was evident - could require a wider hi-ball glass or more adjustable brolly dropper<br />
* cherry conveyor was rarely working - way sticky - needs a teardown and clean and the cherries need rinsing before adding<br />
** Also something to make the belt a bit grippier - little cocktail stick sections glued on the outside?<br />
* also the ability to load more cherries (and other consumables) from behind barbot would have a better effect<br />
* our working layout was spoiling the automation wonder effect - having a human slave carry a glass to the far end of the track - being able to add a glass from the other end and preferably from behind barbot would be better.<br />
**For 2014 we had the optics end against one tent wall and the 'loading' end free - this is probably the optimal layout for now (unless we change how stuff is loaded)<br />
**Can umbrella dispenser be hinged? Can be flipped up to load from behind and dropped for dispensing then<br />
* losing track of the hi-ball glass riser kinda sucked with the flow of operating<br />
** we discovered both kinds of glass could hold the same amount - maybe just rock it with cocktail glasses?<br />
* more human slaves required - this is a good money spinner and worth more members available to serve is better<br />
* one of the mixer taps needs repair and some of the MDF is starting to swell from moisture!<br />
* some sort of status screen might be good?<br />
** Taking the number screen again would be great<br />
* <s>have field on web interface to give a name when ordering - would be so much easier to locate who had what number!</s> - [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/commit/750c588d0a9898f7c4afba8019e98deccdb8af61 Already implemented] and tested on the the last day of EMF 2016<br />

}}<br />
<br />
= Overview =<br />
Freestyle skateboarding requires very exact equipment and the choices for truck setup can be particularly exacting. The current favourite off-the-shelf setup is to use Khiro Purple barrel bushings with a conical top and a suitably wide hanger-side washer to prevent "splurge". This setup can be expensive and not so easy to obtain. As part of my ongoing investigations into DIY skateboard equipment and equipment modifications I have developed a prototype truck bushing of the classic stepped Tracker Stimulator shape (design available more recently as Venom Eliminators or Bear Jimz Stepped).<br />
<br />
= Polyurethane =<br />
<br />
Two part casting polyurethane is easy to get hold of in small quantities (at a premium price!) but not so easy to find with such exact properties. My thoughts are that if I find a suitable formula then I can buy in bulk to reduce costs.<br />
<br />
== First Casting Test ==<br />
<br />
Using a two part 72(+/-2) Shore D mix of casting polyurethane in a PVC pipe and laser-cut MDF mould.<br />
<gallery widths=500px heights=500px><br />
File:Bush-cast1.png|Casting setup<br />
</gallery><br />
The mould leaked somewhat initially as the long pot-life mix was very thin. Adding weights to the base stopped leakage.<br />
<br />
Despite using a silicone spray as mould release, the casting had to be cut from the PVC pipe and the dowel was similarly fixed in place.<br />
<br />
The finished slug was then mounted on the lathe and a pair of test bushings was cut to size to fit a pair of Independent 109 freestyle trucks.<br />
<br />
<gallery widths=500px heights=500px><br />
File:Bush1.png|Mounted on lathe with live centre<br />
File:Bush2.png|Parting tool used to face and surface<br />
</gallery><br />
<br />
From the apparent hardness I was expecting the PU to be crumbly and break in chunks on the lathe but it cut very creating lots of paper-like swarf from the parting cutter.<br />
<br />
The bushings are super stable upon initial tests.<br />
<br />
== The Future ==<br />
<br />
* Testing, testing, testing. Always testing!<br />
* reusable mould designs for bulk production that minimise the amount of finishing required (ideally none!)<br />

== OK, it's now the future ==<br />
<br />
Some time passes and I'm back on the moulding project. I have come across some interesting techniques for making inexpensive silicone moulds using silicone sealant and cornflour - aka oogoo - and using various additives to make it more pourable or workable. Some good experiments here: https://www.myheap.com/casting-molding/my-heap-mold-book/chapter-8-silicone-caulk-molds.html <br />
<br />
It's all in the testing so the first recipe is using the ratios discussed in the comments of the following instructable: https://www.instructables.com/id/Using-Silicone-Caulking-to-Make-Molds/ - "2 parts cornstarch, 2 parts silicone caulk, and one part mineral spirits". I also added glycerin ("1oz caulk : 3 drops glycerin") and a tiny amount of green acrylic paint. The perfect result would be a perfectly usable mould with the first batch, but there are many variables to a good outcome.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'll take an existing nicely-shaped bushing and construct a 2-part mould in a box. For creating the negative I'll need spacers to hold the bushing above the bottom of the box that I hope will provide fill holes the box will provide alignment for the cut halves and perhaps a cutting line.</div>Msemtdhttps://wiki.nottinghack.org.uk/index.php?title=Cast_Polyurethane_Freestyle_Skateboard_Bushings&diff=14100Cast Polyurethane Freestyle Skateboard Bushings2018-09-19T12:39:13Z<p>Msemtd: /* OK, it's now the future */</p>

== Attendees ==<br />
<br />
Every year, we go as a big group and set up the Nottingham Hackspace village. We offer something to EMF attendees (EMF2016 we brought BarBot, Snackspace and Fire Pong) and we also combine our resources to feed us all for the three days. There is obviously a cost to this, and last year we split this - £20 for food, £10 for the village, per person<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining the village for 2018, please fill in the table below - we'll need to have a proper planning meeting to organise volunteers and arrange equipment at some point.<br />
<br />
Food has yet to be arranged (usually a few people volunteer to organise communal meals for the weekend) but do express an interest if you think you would like to be fed. Don't feel paying for food is a compulsory part of village attendance - some folk do self-cater and bring their own cook stuff and EMF organisers usually arrange for a bar and a few catering trailers.<br />

<br />
==== EMF 2016 Projects====<br />
<br />
* [[BarBot EMF 2016|BarBot]] - Mouse and volunteers ran BarBot. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. They needed at least three people during the event and one coordinator/planner pre- and during the event. Contact Mouse if you think you'd like to organise/run BarBot at EMF 2018. <br />
* Fire Pong - Nottinghack collaboration resulting in an attraction involving fire, giant ping pong bats and 1-D pong. Enormously popular.<br />
<br />
== Thoughts and Ideas after EMF2016 ==<br />
'''Please put any ideas and thoughts for 2018 here!''' <br />
<br />
===Overall===<br />
* MORE NOTTINGHACK FLAGS AND STUFF<br />
* Bring more bottle openers<br />
* If we keep doing big stuff like snackspace and barbot, may as well just hire a 6x6 tent to have both inside, away from our village kit.<br />
** Also extra room for storage too.<br />
<br />
===Snackspace===<br />
* Expanded range; crisps, energy bars, non-fizzy drinks, fruit<br />
* Overall worked really well<br />
* Better signage<br />
* Ensure whatever card payment method we use has its own dedicated gps (to avoid thinking we're in Holland because of the wifi)<br />
** Cheap/unused android phone as a dedicated device? Frees up the Fire even more then.<br />
* 2x boxes of cola bottles sold out fast - recommend 3 at least<br />
* Dedicated fridge for drinks was v successful<br />
* Hand sanitizer - lots<br />
<br />
===Barbot===<br />
Please feel free to log any software improvements/fixes that might help as [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/issues issues] on github - I'll try and get round to them before EMF2018 - [[User:Daniel|Daniel]] ([[User talk:Daniel|talk]]) 14:09, 10 August 2016 (UTC)<br />
* People fucking love some robo-cocktails<br />
* Better signage - pre-print and laminate some signs with instructions / address at the hackspace<br />
* HS2.5 Badge rewards for donating worked really well<br />
* Make sure Kindle Fire is charged!<br />
* Grenadine gets ''everywhere''<br />
* Background music on final day worked well <br />
* Enough lighting to avoid having to use fluorescent lights (fairy lights were good)<br />
** Cheap RGB strips? Could even wire them up to respond to music<br />
* Grenadine syringe refill is tedious - "''there has to be a better way!''" - need to look into this<br />
* better dasher refill technique needed - there's a hole in the top of each bottle so let's use it!<br />
* umbrella in every drink - it's the final flourish and the disappointment of the users was evident - could require a wider hi-ball glass or more adjustable brolly dropper<br />
* cherry conveyor was rarely working - way sticky - needs a teardown and clean and the cherries need rinsing before adding<br />
** Also something to make the belt a bit grippier - little cocktail stick sections glued on the outside?<br />
* also the ability to load more cherries (and other consumables) from behind barbot would have a better effect<br />
* our working layout was spoiling the automation wonder effect - having a human slave carry a glass to the far end of the track - being able to add a glass from the other end and preferably from behind barbot would be better.<br />
**For 2014 we had the optics end against one tent wall and the 'loading' end free - this is probably the optimal layout for now (unless we change how stuff is loaded)<br />
**Can umbrella dispenser be hinged? Can be flipped up to load from behind and dropped for dispensing then<br />
* losing track of the hi-ball glass riser kinda sucked with the flow of operating<br />
** we discovered both kinds of glass could hold the same amount - maybe just rock it with cocktail glasses?<br />
* more human slaves required - this is a good money spinner and worth more members available to serve is better<br />
* one of the mixer taps needs repair and some of the MDF is starting to swell from moisture!<br />
* some sort of status screen might be good?<br />
** Taking the number screen again would be great<br />
* <s>have field on web interface to give a name when ordering - would be so much easier to locate who had what number!</s> - [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/commit/750c588d0a9898f7c4afba8019e98deccdb8af61 Already implemented] and tested on the the last day of EMF 2016<br />

== Attendees ==<br />
<br />
Every year, we go as a big group and set up the Nottingham Hackspace village. We offer something to EMF attendees (EMF2016 we brought BarBot, Snackspace and Fire Pong) and we also combine our resources to feed us all for the three days. There is obviously a cost to this, and last year we split this - £20 for food, £10 for the village, per person<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining the village for 2018, please fill in the table below - we'll need to have a proper planning meeting to organise volunteers and arrange equipment at some point.<br />
<br />
Food has yet to be arranged (usually a few people volunteer to organise communal meals for the weekend) but do express an interest if you think you would like to be fed. Don't feel paying for food is a compulsory part of village attendance - some folk do self-cater and bring their own cook stuff and EMF organisers usually arrange for a bar and a few catering trailers.<br />

! Item !! Reason<br />

|-<br />
| Long Ethernet cable||If you want ethernet in your tent<br />

[[EMF 2018 Collaboration]] - defunct<br />
<br />
==== EMF 2016 Projects====<br />
<br />
* [[BarBot EMF 2016|BarBot]] - Mouse and volunteers ran BarBot. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. They needed at least three people during the event and one coordinator/planner pre- and during the event. Contact Mouse if you think you'd like to organise/run BarBot at EMF 2018. <br />
* Fire Pong - Nottinghack collaboration resulting in an attraction involving fire, giant ping pong bats and 1-D pong. Enormously popular.<br />
<br />
== Thoughts and Ideas after EMF2016 ==<br />
'''Please put any ideas and thoughts for 2018 here!''' <br />
<br />
===Overall===<br />
* MORE NOTTINGHACK FLAGS AND STUFF<br />
* Bring more bottle openers<br />
* If we keep doing big stuff like snackspace and barbot, may as well just hire a 6x6 tent to have both inside, away from our village kit.<br />
** Also extra room for storage too.<br />
<br />
===Snackspace===<br />
* Expanded range; crisps, energy bars, non-fizzy drinks, fruit<br />
* Overall worked really well<br />
* Better signage<br />
* Ensure whatever card payment method we use has its own dedicated gps (to avoid thinking we're in Holland because of the wifi)<br />
** Cheap/unused android phone as a dedicated device? Frees up the Fire even more then.<br />
* 2x boxes of cola bottles sold out fast - recommend 3 at least<br />
* Dedicated fridge for drinks was v successful<br />
* Hand sanitizer - lots<br />
<br />
===Barbot===<br />
Please feel free to log any software improvements/fixes that might help as [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/issues issues] on github - I'll try and get round to them before EMF2018 - [[User:Daniel|Daniel]] ([[User talk:Daniel|talk]]) 14:09, 10 August 2016 (UTC)<br />
* People fucking love some robo-cocktails<br />
* Better signage - pre-print and laminate some signs with instructions / address at the hackspace<br />
* HS2.5 Badge rewards for donating worked really well<br />
* Make sure Kindle Fire is charged!<br />
* Grenadine gets ''everywhere''<br />
* Background music on final day worked well <br />
* Enough lighting to avoid having to use fluorescent lights (fairy lights were good)<br />
** Cheap RGB strips? Could even wire them up to respond to music<br />
* Grenadine syringe refill is tedious - "''there has to be a better way!''" - need to look into this<br />
* better dasher refill technique needed - there's a hole in the top of each bottle so let's use it!<br />
* umbrella in every drink - it's the final flourish and the disappointment of the users was evident - could require a wider hi-ball glass or more adjustable brolly dropper<br />
* cherry conveyor was rarely working - way sticky - needs a teardown and clean and the cherries need rinsing before adding<br />
** Also something to make the belt a bit grippier - little cocktail stick sections glued on the outside?<br />
* also the ability to load more cherries (and other consumables) from behind barbot would have a better effect<br />
* our working layout was spoiling the automation wonder effect - having a human slave carry a glass to the far end of the track - being able to add a glass from the other end and preferably from behind barbot would be better.<br />
**For 2014 we had the optics end against one tent wall and the 'loading' end free - this is probably the optimal layout for now (unless we change how stuff is loaded)<br />
**Can umbrella dispenser be hinged? Can be flipped up to load from behind and dropped for dispensing then<br />
* losing track of the hi-ball glass riser kinda sucked with the flow of operating<br />
** we discovered both kinds of glass could hold the same amount - maybe just rock it with cocktail glasses?<br />
* more human slaves required - this is a good money spinner and worth more members available to serve is better<br />
* one of the mixer taps needs repair and some of the MDF is starting to swell from moisture!<br />
* some sort of status screen might be good?<br />
** Taking the number screen again would be great<br />
* <s>have field on web interface to give a name when ordering - would be so much easier to locate who had what number!</s> - [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/commit/750c588d0a9898f7c4afba8019e98deccdb8af61 Already implemented] and tested on the the last day of EMF 2016<br />

== Attendees ==<br />
<br />
Every year, we go as a big group and set up the Nottingham Hackspace village. We offer something to EMF attendees (EMF2016 we brought BarBot, Snackspace and Fire Pong) and we also combine our resources to feed us all for the three days. There is obviously a cost to this, and last year we split this - £20 for food, £10 for the village, per person<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining the village for 2018, please fill in the table below - we'll need to have a proper planning meeting to organise volunteers and arrange equipment at some point.<br />
<br />
Food has yet to be arranged (usually a few people volunteer to organise communal meals for the weekend) but do express an interest if you think you would like to be fed. Don't feel paying for food is a compulsory part of village attendance - some folk do self-cater and bring their own cook stuff and EMF organisers usually arrange for a bar and a few catering trailers.<br />

== What to Bring ==<br />
Here are some ideas of things you might want to bring with you.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Item !! Reason<br />
|-<br />
| Decent quality long extension lead||If you want power to your tent<br />
|-<br />
| 4-way extension lead or similar||Plugs will be limited, bring to ensure you have enough for your devices<br />
|-<br />
| Money||Money can buy food and/or beverages<br />
|-<br />
| Teacup||Having your own teacup you can re-use will help us out<br />
|-<br />
| Medication||Bring your own pain killers/hangover cures, we do not supply this! First aiders will be on site.<br />
|-<br />
| Camping Chairs||Chairs have been ordered for village use, bring your own to guarantee a place to sit and for your own tent.<br />
|-<br />
| Long Ethernet cable||If you want ethernet in your tent<br />
|-<br />
| Micro USB cables||The EMF badge charges via a micro USB cable and you'll probably want a spare for your phone/kindle/tablet etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Torch||It gets dark at night<br />
|-<br />
| Rubber Mallet||To help put up your own tent and others<br />
|-<br />
| Drinks||There is a bar but you might want to bring spirits or other drinks for yourself.<br />
|-<br />
| Snacks||To keep your going between meals<br />
|-<br />
| Toiletries||Stuff to wash with, towels, toothbrush etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Raincoat and Wellies||It will probably rain at some point and it's in a field<br />
|-<br />
| Sun Cream||There might be sun at some point and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Bug Spray||It's near water and some people have tasty blood<br />
|-<br />
| Jumpers, Jacket and Hoodies||It will be cold at night and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Painkillers || E.g. Paracetamol/Ibuprofen. Some people get ill, some get hangovers. These are cheap, small and occasionally necessary.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Meetings ==<br />
Minutes of EMF planning meetings to (hopefully) go here.<br />
<br />
== Nottinghack Projects ==<br />
<br />
If you're planning to do a project to take to EMF 2018 and might want to collaborate with others or group together for transport etc, please consider adding a page to this section.<br />
<br />

<br />
[[EMF 2018 Collaboration]] - defunct<br />
<br />
==== EMF 2016 Projects====<br />
<br />
* [[BarBot EMF 2016|BarBot]] - Mouse and volunteers ran BarBot. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. They needed at least three people during the event and one coordinator/planner pre- and during the event. Contact Mouse if you think you'd like to organise/run BarBot at EMF 2018. <br />
* Fire Pong - Nottinghack collaboration resulting in an attraction involving fire, giant ping pong bats and 1-D pong. Enormously popular.<br />
<br />
== Thoughts and Ideas after EMF2016 ==<br />
'''Please put any ideas and thoughts for 2018 here!''' <br />
<br />
===Overall===<br />
* MORE NOTTINGHACK FLAGS AND STUFF<br />
* Bring more bottle openers<br />
* If we keep doing big stuff like snackspace and barbot, may as well just hire a 6x6 tent to have both inside, away from our village kit.<br />
** Also extra room for storage too.<br />
<br />
===Snackspace===<br />
* Expanded range; crisps, energy bars, non-fizzy drinks, fruit<br />
* Overall worked really well<br />
* Better signage<br />
* Ensure whatever card payment method we use has its own dedicated gps (to avoid thinking we're in Holland because of the wifi)<br />
** Cheap/unused android phone as a dedicated device? Frees up the Fire even more then.<br />
* 2x boxes of cola bottles sold out fast - recommend 3 at least<br />
* Dedicated fridge for drinks was v successful<br />
* Hand sanitizer - lots<br />
<br />
===Barbot===<br />
Please feel free to log any software improvements/fixes that might help as [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/issues issues] on github - I'll try and get round to them before EMF2018 - [[User:Daniel|Daniel]] ([[User talk:Daniel|talk]]) 14:09, 10 August 2016 (UTC)<br />
* People fucking love some robo-cocktails<br />
* Better signage - pre-print and laminate some signs with instructions / address at the hackspace<br />
* HS2.5 Badge rewards for donating worked really well<br />
* Make sure Kindle Fire is charged!<br />
* Grenadine gets ''everywhere''<br />
* Background music on final day worked well <br />
* Enough lighting to avoid having to use fluorescent lights (fairy lights were good)<br />
** Cheap RGB strips? Could even wire them up to respond to music<br />
* Grenadine syringe refill is tedious - "''there has to be a better way!''" - need to look into this<br />
* better dasher refill technique needed - there's a hole in the top of each bottle so let's use it!<br />
* umbrella in every drink - it's the final flourish and the disappointment of the users was evident - could require a wider hi-ball glass or more adjustable brolly dropper<br />
* cherry conveyor was rarely working - way sticky - needs a teardown and clean and the cherries need rinsing before adding<br />
** Also something to make the belt a bit grippier - little cocktail stick sections glued on the outside?<br />
* also the ability to load more cherries (and other consumables) from behind barbot would have a better effect<br />
* our working layout was spoiling the automation wonder effect - having a human slave carry a glass to the far end of the track - being able to add a glass from the other end and preferably from behind barbot would be better.<br />
**For 2014 we had the optics end against one tent wall and the 'loading' end free - this is probably the optimal layout for now (unless we change how stuff is loaded)<br />
**Can umbrella dispenser be hinged? Can be flipped up to load from behind and dropped for dispensing then<br />
* losing track of the hi-ball glass riser kinda sucked with the flow of operating<br />
** we discovered both kinds of glass could hold the same amount - maybe just rock it with cocktail glasses?<br />
* more human slaves required - this is a good money spinner and worth more members available to serve is better<br />
* one of the mixer taps needs repair and some of the MDF is starting to swell from moisture!<br />
* some sort of status screen might be good?<br />
** Taking the number screen again would be great<br />
* <s>have field on web interface to give a name when ordering - would be so much easier to locate who had what number!</s> - [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/commit/750c588d0a9898f7c4afba8019e98deccdb8af61 Already implemented] and tested on the the last day of EMF 2016<br />

Hi my name's Michael Erskine and I'm a recovering software engineer. Please sponsor my efforts to move into the world of hardware where I can't just allocate an array of ten thousand objects to do my bidding. I can't even find the right capacitor!<br />

In the late 80's I began working as a software engineer at my first real job out of college. At this particular company each employee's Unix username was made up form their initials and their job description. My role as a software developer in the Geographical Information Systems department defined my first real email address, IRC nick, etc. and has become a handy, generally easy to use identifier for life on the interweb waves.<br />

<br />
== Attendees ==<br />
<br />
Every year, we go as a big group and set up the Nottingham Hackspace village. We offer something to EMF attendees (EMF2016 we brought BarBot, Snackspace and Fire Pong) and we also combine our resources to feed us all for the three days. There is obviously a cost to this, and last year we split this - £20 for food, £10 for the village, per person<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining the village for 2018, please fill in the table below - we'll need to have a proper planning meeting to organise volunteers and arrange equipment at some point.<br />
<br />
Food has yet to be arranged (usually a few people volunteer to organise communal meals for the weekend) but do express an interest if you think you would like to be fed. Don't feel paying for food is a compulsory part of village attendance - some folk do self-cater and bring their own cook stuff and EMF organisers usually arrange for a bar and a few catering trailers.<br />

<br />
== What to Bring ==<br />
Here are some ideas of things you might want to bring with you.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Item !! Reason<br />
|-<br />
| Decent quality long extension lead||If you want power to your tent<br />
|-<br />
| 4-way extension lead or similar||Plugs will be limited, bring to ensure you have enough for your devices<br />
|-<br />
| Teacup||Having your own teacup you can re-use will help us out<br />
|-<br />
| Medication||Bring your own pain killers/hangover cures, we do not supply this! First aiders will be on site.<br />
|-<br />
| Camping Chairs||Chairs have been ordered for village use, bring your own to guarantee a place to sit and for your own tent.<br />
|-<br />
| Long Ethernet cable||If you want ethernet in your tent<br />
|-<br />
| Micro USB cables||The EMF badge charges via a micro USB cable and you'll probably want a spare for your phone/kindle/tablet etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Torch||It gets dark at night<br />
|-<br />
| Rubber Mallet||To help put up your own tent and others<br />
|-<br />
| Drinks||There is a bar but you might want to bring spirits or other drinks for yourself.<br />
|-<br />
| Snacks||To keep your going between meals<br />
|-<br />
| Toiletries||Stuff to wash with, towels, toothbrush etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Raincoat and Wellies||It will probably rain at some point and it's in a field<br />
|-<br />
| Sun Cream||There might be sun at some point and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Bug Spray||It's near water and some people have tasty blood<br />
|-<br />
| Jumpers, Jacket and Hoodies||It will be cold at night and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Painkillers || E.g. Paracetamol/Ibuprofen. Some people get ill, some get hangovers. These are cheap, small and occasionally necessary.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Meetings ==<br />
Minutes of EMF planning meetings to (hopefully) go here.<br />
<br />
== Nottinghack Projects ==<br />
<br />
If you're planning to do a project to take to EMF 2018 and might want to collaborate with others or group together for transport etc, please consider adding a page to this section.<br />
<br />
[[EMF 2018 Collaboration]]<br />
<br />
==== EMF 2016 Projects====<br />
<br />
* [[BarBot EMF 2016|BarBot]] - Mouse and volunteers ran BarBot. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. They needed at least three people during the event and one coordinator/planner pre- and during the event. Contact Mouse if you think you'd like to organise/run BarBot at EMF 2018. <br />
* Fire Pong - Nottinghack collaboration resulting in an attraction involving fire, giant ping pong bats and 1-D pong. Enormously popular.<br />
<br />
== Thoughts and Ideas after EMF2016 ==<br />
'''Please put any ideas and thoughts for 2018 here!''' <br />
<br />
===Overall===<br />
* MORE NOTTINGHACK FLAGS AND STUFF<br />
* Bring more bottle openers<br />
* If we keep doing big stuff like snackspace and barbot, may as well just hire a 6x6 tent to have both inside, away from our village kit.<br />
** Also extra room for storage too.<br />
<br />
===Snackspace===<br />
* Expanded range; crisps, energy bars, non-fizzy drinks, fruit<br />
* Overall worked really well<br />
* Better signage<br />
* Ensure whatever card payment method we use has its own dedicated gps (to avoid thinking we're in Holland because of the wifi)<br />
** Cheap/unused android phone as a dedicated device? Frees up the Fire even more then.<br />
* 2x boxes of cola bottles sold out fast - recommend 3 at least<br />
* Dedicated fridge for drinks was v successful<br />
* Hand sanitizer - lots<br />
<br />
===Barbot===<br />
Please feel free to log any software improvements/fixes that might help as [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/issues issues] on github - I'll try and get round to them before EMF2018 - [[User:Daniel|Daniel]] ([[User talk:Daniel|talk]]) 14:09, 10 August 2016 (UTC)<br />
* People fucking love some robo-cocktails<br />
* Better signage - pre-print and laminate some signs with instructions / address at the hackspace<br />
* HS2.5 Badge rewards for donating worked really well<br />
* Make sure Kindle Fire is charged!<br />
* Grenadine gets ''everywhere''<br />
* Background music on final day worked well <br />
* Enough lighting to avoid having to use fluorescent lights (fairy lights were good)<br />
** Cheap RGB strips? Could even wire them up to respond to music<br />
* Grenadine syringe refill is tedious - "''there has to be a better way!''" - need to look into this<br />
* better dasher refill technique needed - there's a hole in the top of each bottle so let's use it!<br />
* umbrella in every drink - it's the final flourish and the disappointment of the users was evident - could require a wider hi-ball glass or more adjustable brolly dropper<br />
* cherry conveyor was rarely working - way sticky - needs a teardown and clean and the cherries need rinsing before adding<br />
** Also something to make the belt a bit grippier - little cocktail stick sections glued on the outside?<br />
* also the ability to load more cherries (and other consumables) from behind barbot would have a better effect<br />
* our working layout was spoiling the automation wonder effect - having a human slave carry a glass to the far end of the track - being able to add a glass from the other end and preferably from behind barbot would be better.<br />
**For 2014 we had the optics end against one tent wall and the 'loading' end free - this is probably the optimal layout for now (unless we change how stuff is loaded)<br />
**Can umbrella dispenser be hinged? Can be flipped up to load from behind and dropped for dispensing then<br />
* losing track of the hi-ball glass riser kinda sucked with the flow of operating<br />
** we discovered both kinds of glass could hold the same amount - maybe just rock it with cocktail glasses?<br />
* more human slaves required - this is a good money spinner and worth more members available to serve is better<br />
* one of the mixer taps needs repair and some of the MDF is starting to swell from moisture!<br />
* some sort of status screen might be good?<br />

<hr />
<div>[[File:Silhouette_Cameo.png|thumb|200px|Product page: https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/machines/cameo]]<br />
This pledge is for a Silhouette Cameo cutter, which can cut through vinyl, card, fabric and paper up to 12inch wide.<br />
<br />
We can get this machine for £285 (http://www.mdpsupplies.co.uk/silhouette-cameo-3-packb.asp), and it comes with 6,000 fonts, 100 designs built in, as software that is both modern and supports things such as bluetooth and Windows 10.<br />
<br />
The Cameo also supports automated cutting heads, has two carriages (so draw and cut operations can be done in one pass) plus registration marks for aligment, and more.<br />
<br />
The Roland that is currently in the blue room works, however it's not exactly easy to operate. The Cameo would be a great replacement/addition to it<br />
<br />
== Stretch Goals ==<br />
The below goals will be our first buys if we go over the current goal. Alternatively we can get the machine without materials for £20 less, and pick one of these up instead.<br />
<br />
'''£25''' - Upgrade to Silhouette Designer Pro, to allow for SVG imports and other such wonderful items.<br />
<br />
'''£25''' - Additional 12x24" cutting mat. Twice the cutting area!<br />
<br />
== List of pledges ==<br />

Please only post on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/nottinghack/sE0epK-vxkc Google Group mailing list] if you really, truly have forgotten your HMS password and need to have someone else to update this.<br />

<hr />
<div>Many hackers wish to produce a USB device that presents itself as a HID joypad, keyboard, or mouse to a PC or Pi to provide interesting interactions and I/O opportunities in a "standardised" manner. The Arduino Micro and more recently the Leonardo use a micro with an inbuilt USB peripheral device that can be repurposed directly. Previously the Arduino boards used a second small micro or dedicated USB chip (essentially another micro) to perform the USB-serial task but the cost of this additional device was high (often more than the micro itself) and that essential USB device feature soon found itself integrated into a number of Atmel chips. This was an opportunity for the Arduino project to divorce itself from a massive dependence on FTDI (in good time for [https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%23FTDIGATE #FTDIGATE] !!) and for hackers to get involved with the delights of the at90usb82, atmega16u2, etc. as secondary processors for USB comms.<br />
<br />
Time rolls on and the excitement of the brilliant but non-open Minimus project dies down to find a number of crazy-cheap options where the USB chip is the main chip. The Atmega32U4 can be found on the Arduino Micro (currently for about £20) but also on the wonderful [http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/index.html Teensy 2.0] and some really cheap little "Pro Micro" boards from China that at £4 each are cheaper than buying just the chip from here in the UK (in reasonable quantities). Myself (Michael E) and Spencer have ordered some of these bonkers-cheap units for initial testing and evaluation. They would appear to be clones of the Sparkfun Pro Micro https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12640<br />

* 1x board for £6<br />
* 1x board - possibly even better (see fixes in description - to be compared with our delivery) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Leonardo-Pro-Micro-ATmega32U4-16MHz-5V-Replace-ATmega328-Module-for-Arduino-Nano-/331611815908?hash=item4d359abfe4<br />
<br />
== Initial Works for DELIVERY 1 ==<br />
<br />
* board inspection: -<br />
** what is included other than the MCU and a 16MHz crystal?<br />
** what is missing other than the ICSP header?<br />
* programming the board as an Arduino with Arduino IDE<br />
* programming with dfu-programmer and avr-gcc, avr-libc, etc.<br />
* what bootloader is provided? The Teensy 2.0 HALFKAY?<br />

<br />
ATMEL<br />
MEGA32U4<br />
-MU<br />
1448E TH<br />

<br />
Initial risks and mitigations: -<br />
* not a real ATMEL chip or bad batch/revision <br />
* closer inspection of chip markings and initial firmware tests<br />
* check JTAG IDs and Device Identification Register (26.3.2 in datasheet)<br />
* bad oscillator circuitry or configuration<br />
* pinout mapping for Arduino/teensy/Micro<br />

https://github.com/msemtd/promicro-joypad<br />
<br />
You will need to edit some of the USB HID files in the Arduino core of 1.6.5 (ask for details). In time I should probably create a completely separate board profile but that's a lot of work! --[[User:Msemtd|Michael Erskine]] ([[User talk:Msemtd|talk]]) 09:42, 1 September 2015 (UTC)<br />

=== Wired into Defender Control Panel ===<br />
Direct soldering to 8-way Alarm cable x 2 + 1 GND wire and mounted in Spencer's tiny 3D printed case. Replaces a USB dancemat controller that I was never 100% happy with!<br />

These are the same technical specification and functionally equivalent however are slightly larger on a PCB of 23 x 40 mm, the bigger ATMEGA32U4 package, and a Mini-USB socket rather than a Micro-USB socket.<br />

Freestyle skateboards typically have skidplates (a.k.a. "tail-savers" or "tail-skids") to reduce the frictional wear on the underside of the deck nose and tail. Avoiding wear on the nose and tail is important for freestyle boards as there are many tricks that excert a lot of force on the ends of the board which, if worn down too far, will delaminate and ruin the deck. Freestyle skidplates are typically plastic or wood and are bolted or screwed to the deck. Plastic is preferred as it offers less friction. There are very few commercial outlets for freestyle skidplates, mostly from specialist skate shops in the USA and Germany.<br />

== Goals ==<br />
<br />
* suitable for use (durable)<br />
* cheap<br />
* easy to make<br />
* consistent quality<br />
* sustainable<br />
<br />
We (i.e. the UK Freestyle Skateboarding community) are looking for an alternative, convenient source of consumable skidplates. Resistance to wear needs to be balanced with cost and convenience. Cost is of course a product of both materials price and manufacturing labour time. In this regard, the two initial prototypes currently produced are probably the most expensive skidplates every made! As we are all aware, one-off prototypes are rarely representative of a commercially viable product!<br />
<br />
A further goal, which is important to me in the International Freestyle Skateboarding Community, is to not unduly affect the revenue streams of other grass-roots freestyle skate companies. It is for this reason that I promise to only ever produce these on a not-for-profit basis, perhaps as sponsorship only.<br />
<br />
Balance: -<br />
* buying in high quality engineering plastics that can be quickly manufactured into skidplates<br />
* recycling readily-available HDPE into stock that can be "reasonably" quickly manufactured into skidplates<br />

=== UHMWPE ===<br />
Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene is the material of choice for the mainstream commercial skidplate manufacturers - I worked this out by elimination and skate industry hearsay!<br />
<br />
Initial prototypes show the following: -<br />
* cost is similar to that of delrin<br />
* more hard-wearing than delrin<br />
* less slippery than delrin<br />
* harder to work with than delrin<br />
* cannot be laser cut but outlines can be etched on the laser to be followed on the band-saw<br />
* also known as PE1000 - the grades may differ!<br />
<br />
Various skaters have tried them and the results are favourable. The first batch was 20x Moonshine shape from a sheet of Black UHMWPE Sheet (Thickness: 8.0mm, Size: 235mm x 470mm) costing £16.00 inc. VAT but a whopping £8.50 postage (from Trent Plastics). I think I'd like to try another supplier to see if the material grade is consistent. The grade of "Regen" is equivalent to PE1000 for non-food applications and a bit cheaper (from Direct Plastics - available in green - may try this one next)<br />

<hr />
<div>== Background ==<br />
<br />
I have been playing Mahjongg solitaire for some time and have recently made some [[Mahjongg Tiles|Mahjongg tiles]] - fascinated by the physical tiles as objects themselves and what can be done with them (besides playing games!) Now though I have received a nice set of tiles as a gift and I have started to learn the proper 4-player game. I want to teach nerds like myself at the Hackspace (and The Dice Cup) so that I have plenty of people to play and learn with.<br />
<br />
[[User:Msemtd|Michael E.]]<br />
<br />
== Mahjongg Basics ==<br />
<br />
Mahjongg is similar to the card game of Rummy where each player tries to make high scoring sets from a hand of tiles. There are numerous regional rules but the and the set I want to start off with is the [http://mahjong.wikidot.com/rules:world-series-of-mahjong-overview World Series of Mahjong Rules] and then simplify for new players. I have a little book of rules that came with my mahjong set from John Lewis and we have adopted most of the scoring from that.<br />
<br />
* no wildcards or fixed hands (so especially _not_ like American versions!)<br />
* no minimum score hand<br />
* no maximum score hand?<br />
* we haven't decided what to do about stealing kongs yet!<br />
<br />
Rather than read all these crazy rules, the easiest thing for a beginner to do is to simple join in a game, perhaps with an introductory hand where everybody shows their tiles.<br />
<br />
=== Regarding seats, directions, and dealing ===<br />
* At the start of the game after washing the tiles and building the walls, the East player (and initial dealer) is chosen at start of game by dice throw, other players assigned relative to that seat<br />
* Note that the directions are NOT the usual compass directions (as per most Eastern variants of the game) but go East, South, West, North going in an anti-clockwise direction<br />
* These assignations remain throughout the game with no special benefits to East<br />
* The dealer rotates around anti-clockwise to the next player each round regardless of the winner and has no special benefits other than discarding first (we may alter that later if it proves easy enough for beginners)<br />
* Dice throw is also used to decide where to break the wall and start dealing (TODO details)<br />
* Each player is dealt 13 tiles but the dealer has an extra tile as they will start with a discard<br />
* Normal play commences when the dealer discards their first tile <br />
* The player to the dealer's right is up next and play continues in an anti-clockwise direction (unless interrupted by claiming discarded tiles)<br />
<br />
=== Normal play ===<br />
* for a normal play the player draws the next tile from the wall and discards a tile to maintain 13 tiles in their hand<br />
* the player temporarily has 14 tiles - the number required to declare mahjong<br />
* mahjong is declared when a player has 4 sets of 3 tiles and a pair (known as the "eyes")<br />
<br />
=== Regarding discards ===<br />
* discards can only be claimed for a chow by the player whose turn is next (or by anybody for mahjong)<br />
* a pung can be claimed by any player and this outranks a chow<br />
* a kong outranks a chow (and a pung but that would not be possible as we don't use wildcards) HOWEVER, a discard can only be taken for a kong if the player has an existing hidden pung - an exposed pung can only be made into a kong by a self-drawn tile<br />
* a mahjong outranks everything and the claim can also be to make up the required pair<br />
* if more than one person claims the discard for mahjong then priority is given to the player closest to the discard (in the normal anti-clockwise turns sense)<br />
<br />
== Scoring ==<br />
Our scoring system is based on a version of Old HK style where it seems every opportunity is taken to double scores for anything "special"! Terminals and honours are doubled, concealed sets are doubled, and kongs are doubled twice! The scoring table is now in a Google Doc at...<br />

I want to teach nerds like myself at the Hackspace (and The Dice Cup) so that I have plenty of people to play and learn with.<br />

== Mahjongg Basics ==<br />
<br />
Mahjongg is similar to the card game of Rummy where each player tries to make high scoring sets from a hand of tiles. There are numerous regional rules but the and the set I want to start off with is the [http://mahjong.wikidot.com/rules:world-series-of-mahjong-overview World Series of Mahjong Rules] and then simplify for new players. I have a little book of rules that came with my mahjong set from John Lewis and we have adopted most of the scoring from that.<br />
<br />
* no wildcards or fixed hands (so especially _not_ like American versions!)<br />
* no minimum score hand<br />
* no maximum score hand?<br />
* we haven't decided what to do about stealing kongs yet!<br />
<br />
Rather than read all these crazy rules, the easiest thing for a beginner to do is to simple join in a game, perhaps with an introductory hand where everybody shows their tiles.<br />
<br />
=== Regarding seats, directions, and dealing ===<br />
* At the start of the game after washing the tiles and building the walls, the East player (and initial dealer) is chosen at start of game by dice throw, other players assigned relative to that seat<br />
* Note that the directions are NOT the usual compass directions (as per most Eastern variants of the game) but go East, South, West, North going in an anti-clockwise direction<br />
* These assignations remain throughout the game with no special benefits to East<br />
* The dealer rotates around anti-clockwise to the next player each round regardless of the winner and has no special benefits other than discarding first (we may alter that later if it proves easy enough for beginners)<br />
* Dice throw is also used to decide where to break the wall and start dealing (TODO details)<br />
* Each player is dealt 13 tiles but the dealer has an extra tile as they will start with a discard<br />
* Normal play commences when the dealer discards their first tile <br />
* The player to the dealer's right is up next and play continues in an anti-clockwise direction (unless interrupted by claiming discarded tiles)<br />
<br />
=== Normal play ===<br />
* for a normal play the player draws the next tile from the wall and discards a tile to maintain 13 tiles in their hand<br />
* the player temporarily has 14 tiles - the number required to declare mahjong<br />
* mahjong is declared when a player has 4 sets of 3 tiles and a pair (known as the "eyes")<br />
<br />
=== Regarding discards ===<br />
* discards can only be claimed for a chow by the player whose turn is next (or by anybody for mahjong)<br />
* a pung can be claimed by any player and this outranks a chow<br />
* a kong outranks a chow (and a pung but that would not be possible as we don't use wildcards) HOWEVER, a discard can only be taken for a kong if the player has an existing hidden pung - an exposed pung can only be made into a kong by a self-drawn tile<br />
* a mahjong outranks everything and the claim can also be to make up the required pair<br />
* if more than one person claims the discard for mahjong then priority is given to the player closest to the discard (in the normal anti-clockwise turns sense)<br />
<br />
== Scoring ==<br />
Our scoring system is based on a version of Old HK style where it seems every opportunity is taken to double scores for anything "special"! Terminals and honours are doubled, concealed sets are doubled, and kongs are doubled twice! The scoring table is now in a Google Doc at...<br />

== Scoring ==<br />
Our scoring system is based on Old HK style where it seems every opportunity is taken to double scores for anything "special"! Terminals and honours are doubled, concealed sets are doubled, and kongs are doubled twice!<br />
<br />
When a player declares mahjong all players reveal their hands and the hand scores are calculated (prior to winner bonus points and double honour scores being awarded - see below)<br />
<br />
* a sequence or "chow" scores no points itself but can be very useful when trying to get to mahjong<br />
* an exposed 3-of-a-kind or "pung" scores 2 points for the middle tiles (2 to 8) but if "terminals" (1 or 9) or "honours" (winds or dragons) then it is doubled to 4 points<br />
* a concealed 3-of-a-kind is doubled, so 4 points for concealed middle tiles or 8 points for concealed terminals or honours<br />
* a kong, or 4-of-a-kind, is the score of the pung doubled twice(!) (x4 really), so 8 points for exposed kong of middle tiles, 16 points for terminals and honours<br />
* concealed kongs are doubled again! So 16 points for middle tiles and 32 points for terminals and honours<br />
* a pair of dragons or the player's own wind scores 2 points<br />
