* ALWAYS keep your hands clear of the bed and carriage while the machine is running or injury may occur. Give machine operator clearance.
* If this machine is not knitting the pattern you expect check if F2 Crose Lock is locked -- if this is engaged the machine will just knit as if everything is waste yarn.

[[File:Forklift1.jpg|200px|thumb|right|A Noisebridge member using a forklift to move the knitting machine crate]]

Noisebridge's sewing guild raised money to purchase an automatic, industrial knitting machine for the space. Shima Seiki and Stoll machines were out of our budget and our initial plan was to buy from a start-up, [https://www.kniterate.com/product/kniterate-the-digital-knitting-machine/ Kniterate], which came out of the [https://hackaday.com/2014/02/20/openknit-the-open-source-knitting-machine/ OpenKnit] project.

Those machines were facing production delays and increased cost, so we turned to manufacturers in China for a similar spec-ed machine. We asked 5 vendors for bids via Alibaba/Made-In-China.com/the internet at large and settled on a single system, 52” 7 gauge automatic knitting machine with a controller by Raynen.

We engaged with [https://changshusxd.en.alibaba.com/ Changshu Shengxingda Co, Ltd] for a machine (model [https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/2023-New-Fully-Automatic-Sweater-Flat_1600063265178.html CHJX-1-52]) at a cost of ~$4000. The base cost of shipping and delivery from China to SF was ~$2000; we incurred some additional fees during this process due to time in port, a customs inspection, forklift rental, and the need for a second delivery attempt.

Here's the timeline of how everything played out.

* April 10 - Initial research starts.
* April 27 - May 5 - Decision-making and engagement with the vendor.
* April 27 - May 5 - Discussions and paperwork with the freight forwarder.
* May 5 - Deposit paid for the machine, production begins; freight shipper contracted.
* May 24 - Machine delivered to the freight forwarder at Shanghai Port. The sailing vessel is MOL Celebration, with an estimated arrival on June 22 in Oakland.
* June 29 - Ship arrival at the Port of Oakland.
* June 29 - July 14 - Container stuck in Port due to a holiday, port backlog, and a customs inspection.
* July 19 - First delivery attempt.
* July 24 - Machine delivered to Noisebridge successfully.

* DY-SV8F MP3 board for chimes and sound effects, it has 8MB? of storage built in ([https://grobotronics.com/images/companies/1/datasheets/DY-SV5W%20Voice%20Playback%20ModuleDatasheet.pdf manual]).
* ESP32: GPIO23 - INPUT triggers doorbell, GPIO17 - TX, connect to RX on MP3 Board

'''Features'''
* OTA firmware updates on the ESP32
* ESP32 broadcasts the doorbell ring to the network via a UDP packet (`__RING__RING__`), and a Discord/Slack webhook in #door
* You can trigger various sound effects (try sending the doorbell MOO\n, BAAH\n, TRASH\n, PLAY some_number\n as UDP packets to port 4242)
* Customizable sound files (connect USB micro to MP3 board, replacing 00001.mp3 will replace the primary chime; if you want to add additional sound effects just add those files, following the naming convention.).

'''Troubleshooting'''
* Is the shared power supply for the ESP32 and MP3 board plugged in? If using powered speakers are those plugged in? Is the speaker volume turned up?
* Is there anything physically wrong with the button mounted on the gate (i.e. are the button terminals bridged or corroded). Is there still a pair of wires (ethernet cable) running from inside Noisebridge to the gate button?
* Are all wires attached to the doorbell?
:: '''ESP32:''' GPIO15, GPIO23 to doorbell button wires. GPIO17 to MP3 RX Pin, 5V, and GND. Check wire nuts too!

:: '''DY-SV8F:''' Power, GND, RX to ESP32 GPIO17.

* Can you ping noisebell.local on the network? If you attach a USB cable to the ESP32 do you get serial read out? What happens when you press the doorbell, bridge GPIO15 and GPIO23, or send UDP packets to attempt to play some file? Anything in the serial console? Check the jumpers on MP3 board, is 3 On, 1&2 Off?
* If no serial data, can you re-flash or replace the ESP32?

'''Quirks'''

You can send a UDP packet to the device `PLAY 2` for example would play file #2 on the device. '''The file system does not always order things as you expect.''' This dedicated library gives a [https://github.com/SnijderC/dyplayer#important-files-do-not-play-in-order-of-named-sequence good overview of the issue and possible mitigations]. Absolute worst case you can send UDP packets, iterate through files, playing them, make note of the appropriate file ordering and update the ESP firmware if needed!

# Tell Noisebridge to take out the trash
import socket
UDP_DEST = noisebell.local # make sure noisebell.local is on the network
UDP_PORT = 4242

== Doorbell 3.0 ==
Unknown

== Doorbell 2.0 ==

Arduino-based, includes lights and a customizable tone.

=== To do ===

* mount in a stable enclosure
* move transistor (sound) from pin 12 to another pin so we can use ethernet. (4,10,11,12,13 are used by ethernet/sd card. 5 is buzzer signal, 7 is LEDs)
* run an ethernet cable to the doorbell
* Improve and expand doorbell code!

=== Troubleshooting ===

* Check that the speaker is connected to the green terminals of the arduino, and an audio cable is plugged into the intercom box by the top door.
* Hit the reset key on the Arduino
* Ring the door bell. Does it work?
* Re-upload or modify the Arduino sketch

If this fails you can revert to doorbell 1.0.

Want to improve the doorbell? Change the chime? Here is [https://github.com/danasf/noise-/tree/master/doorbell arduino code]. Hack it!

You'll need a USB mini cable to connect. The board is a [http://www.freetronics.com/products/etherten], but choose Uno in the Arduino IDE.

Improvements & ability to alter light and sound patterns via ethernet will be coming soon.

== Doorbell 1.0 ==

Via original intercom box.

Fallback instructions.

Go to the intercom box by the top door:

* Ensure the buzzer switch on the top is set to 'On'
* Unplug the audio cable from the side of the intercom box by the door.
Doorbell 1.0 functionality should work

Pacific Electronics 3403 Door buzzer system.

near(-miss) consensus item

* Accessibility Business Entrance check, done on Saturday.

Jared. We're not up to accessibility requirements of city. To pass accessibility requirements of the city: would need to ensure that the entrance door meets the specifications that the city requires. We need a permit for the front door to be electronic again.

We could file an exception.

Would need someone to level in front of the front door.

We fall under category of exemption because we're run as membership organization.

Loren: pro filing exemption. But pro: doing more than nothing.
Change hardware of gate.

The report is posted in #general in slack.

Dana: "very doable for us to do 90% of these things ourselves"

We have many ways for people to get in but accessibility requirements set by the city are narrow.

Emeline - taking care of paperwork
Jared - (need architect, is) signing off on designs.

(small things: need to remove doorstops)
SHED - need to move a little further left. And need to move phone a little further left.
#general in slack

[[File:Forklift1.jpg|200px|thumb|right|A Noisebridge member using a forklift to move the knitting machine crate]]

The plan was to acquire a single system, 52” 7 gauge automatic knitting machine (similar to Kniterate) from Jiangsu province in China and bring it to Noisebridge in San Francisco.

We asked 5 vendors for bids via Alibaba/Made-In-China.com/the internet at large and engaged [https://changshusxd.en.alibaba.com/ Changshu Shengxingda Co, Ltd] for a machine at a cost of ~$4000.

Here's the timeline of how it played out.

* April 10 - Initial research starts.
* April 27 - May 5 - Decision-making and engagement with the vendor.
* April 27 - May 1 - Discussions and paperwork with the freight forwarder.
* May 5 - Deposit paid for the machine, production begins; freight shipper contracted.
* May 24 - Machine delivered to the freight forwarder at Shanghai Port. The sailing vessel is Mol Celebration, with an estimated arrival on June 22 in Oakland.
* June 29 - Ship arrival at the Port of Oakland.
* June 29 - July 14 - Container stuck in Port due to a holiday, port backlog, and a customs inspection.
* July 19 - First delivery attempt.
* July 24 - Machine delivered to Noisebridge successfully.

== Brother HL-L8360CDW ==

A new color laser printer for Noisebridge (as of June 2023)

Specs:

* 33 pages per minute
* High-yield toner cartridges
* Wireless, USB, mobile printing

Resources:

* Drivers: https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=hll8360cdw_us_eu_as

== How To Print ==

[[File:Printerscreen.jpg|200px|thumb|left|A plausible printer screen]]

'''Step 1: ''' Go to print, select Brother HL-L8360CDW (you may or may not need to download [https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=hll8360cdw_us_eu_as the driver]).

'''Step 2: ''' Click the user icon on the printer's screen, choose one of the users (Noisebridger, Hacker), enter the PIN. Then you have 90 seconds to send your print job.

''This PIN number is probably familiar to you if you are a hacker or Noisebridge regular. Check with a Member if you need it.''

If the printer gets weird, loses wifi connectivity or locks up, try restarting it.

== Replacing Toner ==

If toner is low, let folks know in Slack or Discord. If you buy Toner please buy the high yield cartridges, they will last much longer!

If the printer complains of low toner but everything seems okay you can reset the toner count via secret menu. Details are here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4QvdXto8-I

Noisebridge Meeting Restructure Proposal

2023-04-03T20:43:39Z

Dana:

Noisebridge Meeting Restructuring Proposal

Details:

* MODERATOR should designate a proponent and time budget for each discussion or consensus item. A goal should be to keep most meetings to 1 hour and for meetings to start on time.

* TIMEKEEPER will keep time and interrupt when the time limit for an item is reached. If a majority of those present believe discussion must continue time can be extended for a specified period. Otherwise the meeting shall: take action, move on, or move additional discussion outside of the meeting.

* In the interest of efficient discussion, MODERATOR shall use active moderation techniques: this can include prioritizing comments from those who have yet to be heard, limiting comment time per person, keeping discussion on topic, or preventing circular arguments and discussions.

Format:

* 1 x Meeting per month will be a full meeting including explanations of Excellence, Membership, Consensus, a financial report, etc. Noisebridge will advertise this as a place for new people to learn about the space and this night can be accompanied by tours and other activities. Discussion and consensus items may still take place if urgent or at the discretion of attendees.

* All other meetings of a month will take on an abbreviated format to handle weekly business. The focus will be on Announcements, Consensus Items, and Discussion. Example: https://pad.riseup.net/p/NNZ_rkRuJcm1pQGAugw_

On adding agenda items:

* Discussions that can be handled by a Guild or group of interested parties are encouraged to take place outside of the Weekly Meeting. Feel welcome to mention these opportunities in a brief announcement!

* Out of consideration for fellow Noisebridge Members and community, those making proposals or discussion items should post them in advance of the meeting. Urgent agenda items that cannot be delayed until the following week may be added at the meeting.

Current Consensus Items

{{meetings}}
This is a page for hosting consensus items currently under debate, with their formal wording.

Is your consensus item still drafty, in need of much revision, and not something that you think people already can more or less agree with? Perhaps it belongs on the [[Draft Consensus Items]] page, instead?

The [[Consensus_Items_History|Consensus Items History]] is the public record of consensus items that have been decided on in the past. Please move the records from the "Current" page to the "History" page once they've been approved/blocked.

| CONSENSUS TO RESTRUCTURE OUR MEETINGS
|

Noisebridge meetings regularly carry on for hours, to a point where community members are unable to stay until their items of concern come up for discussion. Our meetings can feel draining, dysfunctional, and frustrating. We must improve our meeting structure and moderation culture so Noisebridge can have healthier meetings, and so we can grow our community.

Summary: Set 1 hour meeting goal. 1 meeting per month geared towards new folks. Other monthly meetings we get right to business. Active moderation, limits on discussion time and scope. Encouragement to make agenda items available before a meeting.

Full proposal is here: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Noisebridge_Meeting_Restructure_Proposal

|-
| First discussed: February 21,2023
| [[User:Mwillson|Mark]]
| CONSENSUS OR DEMONSTRATED EFFORT TO FIND A GOOD LOVING HOME FOR EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT BEFORE WASTE DISPOSAL
|

Expensive equipment should go through the 2 week big-c consensus process or have a demonstrated good-faith effort made to find a good loving home for it before it is gotten rid of through waste disposal. An example might be a piece of equipment worth over $20,000 USD when it was new. This is both out of respect and to save the reputation of Noisebridge for future donation of expensive equipment... Something something a reasonable publicly documented effort to reach project/tool owner must be established so as to comply with this procedure.

NOTE: This has been tabled from Feb 28 meeting in favor of private apology / accountability.

'''Want to host your event at Noisebridge?''' We like seeing classes, workshops, and talks on interesting things! Most of all, we like seeing familiar faces. Please participate in the space and our [[Meetings|weekly Tuesday meetings]] to check in with folks in the space before announcing a new event. It's good (read this as highly RECOMMENDED!) to add in a link to a wiki page with more information about your event, and a way to contact the event organizer(s). Thanks!

Coffee Roasting 101

=== Where and When ===

'''Next Coffee Roasting Workshop: March 31, 2023 5PM'''

Where: Noisebridge Front Patio

Reschedules in the event of rain!

RSVP: https://www.meetup.com/noisebridge/events/292035351/

==<big>Coffee Roasting</big>==

If you love coffee and you haven't yet tried roasting your own-- you're missing out! Roasting coffee beans in small quantities at home can be simple, quick, and low-cost.

[[Image:greencoffee.jpg|350px|right|Green Coffee!]]

What is discussed:

* Brief history of coffee / SF's connections to the coffee trade
* Where to get green beans
* How to re-purpose small appliances, household items, kitchenware to roast coffee
* Coffee flavors and different types of roasts
* Demonstration of coffee roasting

We well bring some home roasted coffee for sampling so you can get wired and hack late into the night!

$10+ donation requested to support the space. NOTAFLOF.

'''Never been to Noisebridge before? the doorbell at the front gate!'''

=== Equipment ===

There are many ways to roast coffee. The basic requirements are heat and motion.

A few things that work well:

* cast iron pot and spoon
* heatgun, metal bowl, and spoon
* baking sheet in your oven
* stovetop or electric popcorn popper
* rotating metal drum over a barbecue

=== Helpful hints ===

* Though it may be tempting to immediately drink coffee after you roast it, wait at least a few hours. The coffee will off gas and taste will improve considerably. Taste will peak over the next several days.
* Coffee roasting can produce a bit of smoke. Make sure the area where you roast is well ventilated or use a fan if you roast indoors.
* A lighter roast will preserve more flavor and character of an individual coffee, medium and darker roasts give beans a familiar 'roasted' flavor.

=== Where to get green coffee ===

* Your favorite local coffee roaster (many will sell you beans at less than the cost of roasted)
* [https://sweetmarias.com Sweet Maria's] - Oakland (you can pickup your order at their warehouse in West Oakland)
* [https://burmancoffee.com/ Burman Coffee] - Online green coffee seller
* [http://www.greencoffeebuyingclub.com/ Green Coffee Buying Club] - Semi-structured online coffee buying club.
* We live near a major port (Oakland). You can buy bulk from a coffee importer but most won't talk to you unless you are interested in a pallet of 75kg sacks. While the most economical, logistically this can be really annoying.
* [https://royalcoffee.com/ Royal Coffee] a big specialty coffee importer in the east bay!
* Some Ethiopian and Yemeni grocery stores sell green coffee!
* Rainbow grocery (they sell green beans in a small jar in one of the bulk isles)
* You can buy direct from farmers, including several in the US - [https://www.coffeeofkona.com/green-kona-coffee/ kona coffee], even [https://frinjcoffee.com/ coffee grown in California]!

'''Want to host your event at Noisebridge?''' We like seeing classes, workshops, and talks on interesting things! Most of all, we like seeing familiar faces. Please participate in the space and our [[Meetings|weekly Tuesday meetings]] to check in with folks in the space before announcing a new event. It's good (read this as highly RECOMMENDED!) to add in a link to a wiki page with more information about your event, and a way to contact the event organizer(s). Thanks!

Coffee Roasting 101

=== Where and When ===

'''Next Coffee Roasting Workshop: March 31, 2023'''

Where: Noisebridge Front Patio

==<big>Coffee Roasting</big>==

If you love coffee and you haven't yet tried roasting your own-- you're missing out! Roasting coffee beans in small quantities at home can be simple, quick, and low-cost.

[[Image:greencoffee.jpg|350px|right|Green Coffee!]]

What is discussed:

* Brief history of coffee / SF's connections to the coffee trade
* Where to get green beans
* How to re-purpose small appliances, household items, kitchenware to roast coffee
* Coffee flavors and different types of roasts
* Demonstration of coffee roasting

We well bring some home roasted coffee for sampling so you can get wired and hack late into the night!

$10+ donation requested to support the space. NOTAFLOF.

'''Never been to Noisebridge before? the doorbell at the front gate!'''

=== Equipment ===

There are many ways to roast coffee. The basic requirements are heat and motion.

A few things that work well:

* cast iron pot and spoon
* heatgun, metal bowl, and spoon
* baking sheet in your oven
* stovetop or electric popcorn popper
* rotating metal drum over a barbecue

=== Helpful hints ===

* Though it may be tempting to immediately drink coffee after you roast it, wait at least a few hours. The coffee will off gas and taste will improve considerably. Taste will peak over the next several days.
* Coffee roasting can produce a bit of smoke. Make sure the area where you roast is well ventilated or use a fan if you roast indoors.
* A lighter roast will preserve more flavor and character of an individual coffee, medium and darker roasts give beans a familiar 'roasted' flavor.

=== Where to get green coffee ===

* Your favorite local coffee roaster (many will sell you beans at less than the cost of roasted)
* [https://sweetmarias.com Sweet Maria's] - Oakland (you can pickup your order at their warehouse in West Oakland)
* [https://burmancoffee.com/ Burman Coffee] - Online green coffee seller
* [http://www.greencoffeebuyingclub.com/ Green Coffee Buying Club] - Semi-structured online coffee buying club.
* We live near a major port (Oakland). You can buy bulk from a coffee importer but most won't talk to you unless you are interested in a pallet of 75kg sacks. While the most economical, logistically this can be really annoying.
* [https://royalcoffee.com/ Royal Coffee] a big specialty coffee importer in the east bay!
* Some Ethiopian and Yemeni grocery stores sell green coffee!
* Rainbow grocery (they sell green beans in a small jar in one of the bulk isles)

LED Matrices

Dana: /* LED Matrices At Noisebridge */

== FT LED Matrices At Noisebridge ==

[[File:ft-ledmatrix.jpg|300px|thumb|right|128x128 display spreading holiday cheer]]

* [[Flaschen_Taschen]] - Runs fully featured ft-server built out of beer bottles and WS2811 pixels.
* Small LED Square - 64x64. Made from salvaged 64x32 P4 RGB LED modules. Downstairs near the front door, on the wall. Runs fully featured ft-server and rickrolls you! Send packets to led-square.noise.
* Big LED Square - 128x128. Made from salvaged 64x32 P4 RGB LED modules. Currently downstairs on the stage. Runs fully featured ft-server! Send packets to ledwall.noise. Login is pi:noisebridge272!

== How to control ==

* Get on Noisebridge wifi and visit http://led-square:4444. Send images or text to any LED display through your browser.
* Send [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen/blob/master/doc/protocols.md UDP packets] per the FT protocol.
* Use a [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen/tree/master/api client library] for C++ or Python.

Tips:

* Default patterns are set to display on low layers. If you want your pattern override this, display it on a higher layer (FT allows layers 0-15 by default).
* (0,0,0) pixels are transparent. If you want a pixel on a higher layer to be black set it to (1,1,1) or similar.

== Power management==

There's no need to unplug these displays at night, they use very little power. Abrupt power offs can corrupt memory cards on their controllers. When this happens reviving them may involve time-consuming re-flashing. Some displays may have an on/off button.

Many LED displays are setup to go to sleep between the hours of midnight and 8am to save a little power and calm the space.

'''Supporting starving hackers is part of our value of [[inclusivity]].''' It is probably not hyperbolic to state that San Francisco has a housing crisis. Despite a general sympathy and frustration with the shortcomings of capitalism, unfortunately Noisebridge simply does not have the resources to address all these issues - either to function an adequate homeless resource center, nor remain a conducive environment for others to hack while doubling as a shelter. We want you to come to Noisebridge, but we also want you to have a place to call your own, and to be able to get to and from there safely.
