新车间 [XinCheJian]

Let’s see how fast I can do another harvest from this. The roots have taken on the aeroponic environment really well! 😉

有这些：Mega ADK, USB Host Shield, Midi Shield, X-Board, FTDI Basic，在www.DFRobot.com 网站可以找到相关资料。]]>

Power tools can be dangerous. Whether its the band saw cutting a finger or that hand held Dremel shooting a plastic shard at your eye, please treat power (and non-power) tools with respect. Don’t be afraid to use tools.  Attend training classes and practice using the tools.  Be aware of safety for yourself and others.  If someone is doing something unsafe, ask them to stop.  Ask questions if you’re unsure. Guidelines for using power tools at Xinchejian: 1. At least 2 people are present 2. The operator has received training in its use 3. The operator has permission to use the equipment Before using power tools be aware of: Personal: –  Wear protective gear – safety glasses, gloves, grounding strap –  Attitude/state – tired, drunk, emotional –  Potential Problems – long hair, loose clothes –  Knowledge – equipment operation, first aid, emergency cut-off switch location Surrounding: – Potential distractions – music, people – Potential dangers – falling items, being bumped, wet floor Equipment: – Knowledge – have proper training or experience, just ask – Right tool/adequate tool for the task – Equipment or tool well maintained?  Safe or effective to use? – What direction is debris/cut-off/sparks heading? – Locate emergency cut-off – Clean machines/area after use – Report damage or problems Plan: – Have a plan when using equipment.  What is the goal? – Plan the equipment usage – think through the actions, visualize the steps and backup steps – Think through potential problems and dangers

Stay focused and use common sense

XinCheJian crashed this party, we presented throughout the day and hijacked a presentation room, while Lio took the big stage with the D programming language and Oil waste management workshop last Saturday where a group of enthusiasts worked on designing solutions to prevent used cooking oil from being reused. Interesting ideas around intelligent oil recycling bins and cheap one time paper tester.. Robo Racing last Sunday left Lio still holding onto the championship trophy, next month – he had better be careful as we have some new robots that came together or got improved on after the race. === Wednesday === This week at XinCheJian we’ve got the following happening: Micheal is running the safety workshop, this quick 20 minute workshop on the Bandsaw and Drill Press with common safety precautions and outlines, be warned everyone must do these workshops to use these tools. Did you know the original design for a bandsaw was cutting meat.. yummy. Lock-picking study starts tonight, the first Lock will come today and the research will begin, Micheal’s Safety workshop will be useful as we’ll have to slice a lock open. Raven by popular demand is back tonight for those that missed his processing presentation, he’s generating a lot of buzz.. an earlier message on weibo read “can processing do motion tracking” he replied “yep, it can even detect color changes and blobs”.. – I cant wait to tie Processing, Servos, Arduino, and a laser assisted Nerf gun together. The not-Harry-potter Severin Schols will be dropping in tonight before his sad departure on Friday from China. 🙁 another true hacker needs to be replaced.. so here is the job description: Looking for male/female – 12-13yr old – 4ft 5″ – Blond haired – Blue Eyes (bleached hair and coloured contacts fine), must be able to do German accent, must like Cats and Barbie dolls ready for immediate replacement. Hopefully finishing off the side tables. A Good time to finish off or make your racing robot, parts are available in XinCheJian. Mitch Altman kits are still available, get the MintyBoost to charge your phone off of 2xAA batteries for when you’ve forgotten to charge your phone the evening before. === Make Things, not War === There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don’t === Holidays at XinCheJian === For non-members/members we’ll keep the Wednesday meetup during the holiday open, For members the space will be open if you have a Key, nothing is planned over that week but some of us will be there. If you don’t hold a key one of the best ways is to send an email to [email protected] the day before if you are planning on going down to see if anyone will be there, no reply means no.

3 days class designing solutions to prevent used cooking oil unsafe reuse.  Research, reflexion, brainstorming, idea selection, storyboard, presentation. Interesting ideas around intelligent oil recycling bins and cheap one time paper tester.

Next steps:  turn into engineering projects and products?

Nanode 是一个带有网络接口的Arduino兼容改进板，它的设计让创客们很容易以手工焊接组装。Nanode有连接到网络的能力，带给我们整个互联网连接设备的新宇宙。 再次感谢Ken Boak 和 Toby Yu他们的慷慨捐赠，新车间将收到5个免费Nanode板子来做测试和宣传。 Nanode的售价将在200元左右。 下面是新车间今天刚收到的2个测试板的图片，我们运行了默认测试程序（闪烁的LED连接针＃6）。板子上用的ENC28J60网路控制器是和我们在 Transfabric的互动门项目里使用的相同。 ]]>

爱上Arduino中文书：45人民币一本（附学习光碟），有兴趣的人请过来新车间购买！

We’re selling them for 45 RMB (to cover shipping), the book comes with a learning CD. Buy one and get started with Arduino!

新的项目很有用。将来的时候新车间要教数字逻辑工作坊。 ]]>
