Build Out 12-5 Photo Recap

By
Freeside just finished our Build Out for the end of 2015 and we got a lot of work done. Let's see what all we accomplished.



Brian repaired the vacuum former and planned out a new heating element design.




Mike came all the way from Florida to frame the Member Storage door and put in a new lock to prepare for some new security features.




Nathan and crew totally reorganized and cleared out some old obtanium. The new shelves are much cleaner looking.




Michelle hacked the LulzBot AO-100 to increase the maximum height, and started printing parts for a new RepRap for the space.




Kelly and Scott cleared out the attic of all of the old random stuff to make way for all new random stuff.


Rowan, Brandon, and a few others helped to sort glassware for the bio and chemistry room.



 Paul, Jonathan, and Earl examined strange fruit.


We demolished in Member Storage for some more new metal shelves.




We put away tools that had found their way from the tool room.



We browsed memes.


We found some time to goof off.




Thanks to everyone who came out and helped make Freeside awesome. See you next time!

A Capacitive-Touch Janko Keyboard: What I Did at the 2017 Georgia Tech Moog Hackathon

By
Last weekend (February 10-12, 2017) I made a Janko-layout capacitive-touch keyboard for the Moog Werkstatt at the Georgia Tech Moog Hackathon. The day after (Monday the 13th), I made this short video of the keyboard being played: "Capacitive Touch Janko Keyboard for Moog Werkstatt" (Text from the video doobly doo) This is a Janko-layout touch keyboard I made at the 2017 Moog Hackathon at Georgia Tech, February 10-12. I'm playing a few classic bass and melody lines from popular and classic tunes. I only have one octave (13 notes) connected so far. The capacitive touch sensors use MPR121 capacitive-touch chips, on breakout boards from Adafruit (Moog Hackathon sponsor Sparkfun makes a similar board for the same chip). The example code from Adafruit was modified to read four boards (using the Adafruit library and making four sensor objects and initializing each to one of the four I2C addresses is remarkably easy for anyone with moderate familiarity with C++), and ...

What to Do With a Stack of Picture Frames?

By
When You Have Too Much Free Stuff! Our newest member Raul got his hands on a stack of about 40 picture frames that were being junked. On a general note Freeside tends to discourage large piles of objects randomly appearing as it tends to collect in corners. Raul got permission from our projects team with a time limit of a few weeks. In this case unnecessary, as the membership more or less attacked the pile of boxes and rapidly rendered them into things. Unfortunately starting off all the frames looked something like this: Not terribly useful. We don't even have any idea who these guys are. After a few passes through the planer, however, we get something like this: A perfectly good picture frame useful for stuff. First idea was to push a couple of these through a the laser cutter. Concept good, aim.... Aim was a little off. Also we had just rebuilt the laser computer and electronics so there were a couple of kinks to work out in CamBam's post processor: &nbsp ...
