ROS) robots, a set of software libraries and tools that help people build robot applications. It was hard for most of people to believe that a high school student could understand so much about ROS the software that most of people nearly heard about. Andrew Geng, a long term member of XinCheJian who is still in university, brought his new project – ATLAS (aerial filming drone). With 9 minutes speech, he explained how ATLAS was built and the theory. From the first project of Andrew in XinCheJian – a wireless charger to his latest project – the ATLAS, we can definitely see his progress in XinCheJian. As the first hacker space in China, XinCheJian hopes to offer everyone a platform to create and build their own projects, no matter who you are, or where you come from.]]>

XinCheJian's Second Makers' Hour | 新车间的第二次“创客一小时”
August 17th, 2015 § 0 comments § permalink
Mr. Wu, who also attended Makers’ Hour the week before, is working on a wireless camera. He wishes to integrate technologies such as Raspberry Pi to create a wireless and wearable camera. These three young men made their own motorcycle and are ready to manufacture and sell within this year. They wish to bring in technologies such as Bluetooth headset helmets and mobile device applications to accompany their product. Jerry is able to control his wireless LED panel through a mobile application. His application can not only change the brightness but also the color temperature of the light source. He believes color temperature has an effect on the productivity and emotions of a person. XinCheJian strongly encourages makers to come by on Wednesday nights to present their creations. By having makers communicate with one another, makers can gain insight and opportunities they would not have had working alone. Through making connections with each other, makers may overcome problems they have with the project, find partners to collaborate with, and sharing experience about commercializing products. Makers’ Hour is for makers who have physical projects to show. This means projects such as: embedded devices, robots, internet of things, and other practical devices. We will be strict about not having people without physical projects. ]]>

The new label includes, name, email, phone, today’s date and expiry date. With these information, it is now easier to identify the information about the user. The new label is attached to each boxes, so if you own a storage box , please go fill in the labels up ASAP. If you want more label papers, they are available on the top of the fridge. ]]>
Hackerspace Cleanup
July 16th, 2015 § 1 comment § permalink
Increasing entropy is a natural state of things, especially in an hackerspace that sees many projects and many contributions. Regular cleaning and sorting is required to get the handle on the chaos.
熵的增加是自然规律之一。因为新车间有着许许多多的工程项目,所以这规律也能在这儿发现 。为了避免这样的混乱,整理肯定是必须的。
We’ve collected equipment, parts, components, used equipment without owners into an outgoing pile in the space . If you wish to take ownership of something from that pile for projects purpose, you must either:
我们收集了各种各样的装备,零件,没有主任的设备等等,把它们放在了我们的小空间中。如果您想要拿取那些东西的话:
take ownership and label it (name, project, contact info, expiry date) and store it in your storage box (storage box are 30RMB/month)
个人要收藏并且标上姓名,工程,联系信息,终止日期。还要把它放在您的收藏箱子里。(每个收藏箱需30元/月)
OR, for shared stuff: put it on the proper shelve or box that has a category label
或者,如果是与大家分享的:请您把它放在有标签的架子上或箱子里。
Work surfaces and space under the tables are NOT storage areas.
干活的桌上和卓下不是收藏的地方。
Anything left on the tables, under the tables, without labels or not properly organized will be added to the outgoing pile.
桌上和卓下留着的东西如果没有标签的话将会被堆在那小空间中。
Wednesday July 22nd 7pm is the deadline before we start donating to the outside from the pile.
七月22号晚上7点钟(星期三), 我们将会开始捐赠小空间里面的零件和无主人的项目。

Thank you, MINI China | 感谢MINI中国

To Mini, On behalf of all the members of XinCheJian: THANK YOU! Thanks to the generous donation of our new gold sponsor MINI China, we no longer have to worry about paying our rent for the next year! This means that the money we collect from our other sources (memberships, workshops, sales) can all go toward improving the space. Being a not-for-profit, the volunteer staff members of XinCheJian are always looking for ways to make ends meet. Securing this sponsorship releases the monthly pressure and allows us to spend more time on organizing exciting events. Join us! 致宝马MINI的一封感谢信 谨代表新车间的所有会员向宝马MINI致以诚挚的谢意! 感谢新车间金牌赞助商宝马MINI的支持,解决了新车间接下来一年的房租问题!这意味着新车间终于可以着手改进我们的空间,为大家提供更好的场地和工具。 新车间作为一个非营利社区,曾一度每个月都要为支付房租担忧。宝马MINI对新车间的这笔赞助费让核心志愿者们可以释放更多精力把新车间的活动组织起来!对新车间会员们来说,这意味着以后会有更多各类学习分享和交流的活动! 借此机会,也衷心感谢一直以来参与新车间运营的核心志愿者们和常来新车间动手制作的会员们!是你们的参与支持和理解,让我们这个纯粹的创客社区发展为现在的新车间! 衷心感谢你们! ]]>
