Wdeconinck: /* Signatures */

== Purpose ==
The purpose of the Small Hall Makerspace is to allow students to design, build, and test small electronic circuits; experiment with rapid prototyping technologies. This document aims to ensure that all activities are conducted safely.

== Background ==
A makerspace is a location where people with common interests can meet, socialize and/or collaborate. Makerspaces can be viewed as open community labs incorporating elements of machine shops, workshops and/or studios where makers can come together to share resources and knowledge to build and make things. The makerspace provides the tools, the makers bring their creativity.

== Authority and Responsibility ==
Wouter Deconinck (757-221-3539) and Joshua Erlich (757-221-3763) are jointly responsible for the operation of Small Hall Makerspace equipment in conformance with these procedures.

== Hazard Analysis ==

=== Hazard Identification ===
# Skin Hazard from heating elements
# Bodily Damage Hazard from high speed rotary tools
# Eye Hazard from shavings launched from high speed rotary tools
# Ear Hazard from prolonged exposure to noise of high speed rotary tools
# Fire Hazard from friction caused by high speed rotary tools
# Bodily Damage Hazard from sharp hand and power tools
# Skin Hazard from dust
# Lung Hazard from dust
# Fire Hazard from flammable objects
# Skin Hazard from chemicals
# Electrical Hazard from power outlets and cables

=== Hazard Mitigation ===
# Mitigation of Skin Hazard from heating elements
#* There are heating elements in the nozzle of the 3D printer, the nozzle of the filament extruders, as well as in the tips of the soldering irons.
#* Do not touch any of the heating elements while they are activated.
#* Always place heated soldering irons in their holders.
#* Never rest heated soldering irons on a working surface.

# Mitigation of Bodily Damage Hazard from high speed rotary tools
#* Do not touch the high speed rotors while they are spinning

# Mitigation of Eye hazard from shavings launched from high speed rotary tools
#* The generic tool operates at speeds up to 30,000 rpm with a power of 120 W, while the DeWalt tool operates at speeds up to 30,000 rpm with a power of 600 W. At these speeds there is potential for shavings to be projected towards the operator and nearby users.
#* While operating CNC routers the operator and users within a 3 meter radius are required to wear eye protection (safety glasses)
#* Be aware of the danger of flying shavings, and try to stay away from the tool in use as much as possible.

# Mitigation of Ear Hazard from prolonged exposure to noise of high speed rotary tools
#* If CNC routers are use for longer than 2 minutes, all users in the makerspace are required to wear hearing protection (foam ear plugs.)

# Mitigation of Fire Hazard from friction caused by high speed rotary tools
#* A CO2 fire extinguisher must be present when CNC routers are being operated
#* When increasing the rotary velocity on a new material (including the first turn-on) the temperature of the spindle must be checked with a thermometer after approximately 30 seconds of operation.

# Mitigation of Bodily Damage Hazard from sharp hand and power tools
#* Before any hand or power tool is operated, the users must familiarize themselves with the proper operating procedures as outlined in the owner’s manual.
#* There must be at least two people in the makerspace whenever power tools are in use.

# Mitigation of Skin Hazard from dust
#* Dust created by the operation of various grinding and milling tools (including CNC routers and drills) is potentially hazardous, depending on the material being used. For example, walnut wood sawdust is an irritant to the skin and the airways.

# Mitigation of Lung Hazard from dust
#* If CNC routers are used to cut materials that cause visible airborne dust build-up, a dust collection system must be used (shop vac with dedicated collection sleeve) and all users in the makerspace must wear dust masks.
#* When uncontained visible airborne dust build-up occurs when operating power tools or CNC routers, all work must cease to prevent false fire alarms.
#* When any skin or airways irritation is noticed, all work must cease.

# Mitigation of Fire Hazard from flammable objects
#* Any type of open flame is not allowed in the makerspace
#* Keep all objects at least 18” from the ceiling
#* Do not block power outlets with with anything
#* Keep an 18” clearance around all fire alarms

# Mitigation of Skin Hazard from Chemicals
#* Follow all safe handling procedures for each chemical in use.
#* Keep an 18” clearance to the left and the right of the chemical cabinet
#* Do not put anything on top of the chemical cabinet
#* The inventory of the Chemical Cabinet should correspond to the list on the makerspace website. All new chemicals should be reported to Sandra Prior for approval and listing.

# Mitigation of Electrical Hazard from outlets and cables
#* Do not bring any food into the makerspace, all drinks must be in closed containers.

=== Waste Disposal ===
Any garbage created should be immediately disposed of in the proper waste bins. Some materials must be disposed of carefully, so make sure to familiarize yourself with the SOP of anything you use that produces hazardous waste.
=== Hazardous Materials ===
No radioactive or hazardous materials are allowed in the Small Hall Makerspace.

Hazardous materials are understood to be chemicals that are carcinogens, toxic or highly toxic agents, reproductive toxins, irritants, corrosives, hepatotoxins, nephrotoxins, neurotoxins, agents that act on the hematopoietic system, and agents that damage the lungs, skin, eyes, or mucous membranes; chemicals that are combustible liquids, compressed gases, explosives, flammable liquids, flammable solids, organic peroxides, oxidizers, pyrophorics, unstable (reactive) or water-reactive; and chemicals that, in the course of normal handling, use or storage, may produce or release dusts, gases, fumes, vapors, mists or smoke having any of the above characteristics. (Hazardous Materials Management, US General Services Administration, http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/101201, retrieved September 2014).

== Procedures ==
All tools have a standard operating procedure. Make sure to familiarize yourself with each one before using the tool in question.

=== Makerspace Clean-up Checklist ===
Before you leave the makerspace:
* clean up all detritus left over from projects
* Ensure that all tools are put away in their proper places.
* Turn off the light switches.

== Training ==
There is no inherent training required for the use of the makerspace, besides the reading and signing of this SOP. There is training, however, that is required for the use of the 3D printer and router. Refer to their SOP to find out how to schedule a training session.

== Emergency Response ==
In case of emergencies, dial 911, and evacuate the makerspace.

Shapeoko2 Standard Operating Procedures

2015-09-04T00:15:23Z

Wdeconinck: /* Procedures */

== Purpose ==
This document provides safety guidance and operating instructions for operators of the Shapeoko 2.

== Background ==
The Shapeoko 2 is a CNC router which can be used to cut materials into very precise shapes. It is controlled via computer; instructions are uploaded from CAD software and then executed by the router.

== Authority and Responsibility ==
Wouter Deconinck (757-221-3539) is responsible for the operation of the Shapeoko in conformance with this Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). In his absence, Joshua Erlich (757-221-3763) shall assume these responsibilities.

Anyone who wishes to use the Shapeoko must go through a safety training process first. See the section below for information on training.

== Hazard Analysis ==
=== Hazard Identification ===
# Eye Hazard from flying splinters
# Skin Hazard from flying splinters
# Bodily damage hazard from spinning blade

=== Hazard Mitigation ===
# Mitigation of Eye Hazard:
#* If you are nearby the Shapeoko and it is in use, always wear protective eyegear.
# Mitigation of Skin Hazard:
#* Be aware that the Shapeoko may spray splinters in a close proximity to itself.
#* Do not get too close to the material being cut when it is in use.
# Mitigation of Bodily Damage from spinning blade.
#* Do not touch the spinning blade when it is in use. It is spinning at upwards of 1500 rpm, and can do a lot of damage to the body.
# Failure to follow hazard mitigation rules by laser operators or spectators could result in temporary or permanent suspension of laser cutter privileges.

=== Waste Disposal ===
All scraps from cuts and all cutting residue must be cleaned from the Shapeoko and thrown into the trash after every use.

== Procedures ==
All operating personnel must have read and understood this standard operating procedure (SOP) and all applicable references stated in this SOP. Signatures of all authorized operators are required at the end of this SOP.

# Check the machine (all bolts and set screws tight, belts tight and in good shape, wiring in good condition with continuity and securely fastened, and nothing frayed or broken, everything clear and safe). The bolted down, inverted belts which result when using the belt anchor clips make this somewhat difficult --- use a mirror to examine the belts while moving the machine along its full range of movement.
# Secure the work piece (right-side up and in the desired orientation) to the work surface using a technique appropriate to the material (see Workholding). If operating the machine as a 3D printer ensure that the print bed is level, clean and clear of any debris, foreign objects, or previous prints.
# Mount an appropriate spindle and ensure that it is vertical and square to the machine and well-secured.
# Examine the End mill to ensure that it is sharp and in good condition and not chipped (this is best done with a loupe or magnifying glass), install it per the spindle manufacturer's directions, check to make certain that the collet is tight and will not work loose during operation (it needs to be more than hand-tight --- the machine will take no notice or care if it works loose). If making a 3D print ensure filament is loaded and that the spool feeds freely and there is adequate tension to not be overwhelmed by retraction.
# Ensure the work area is clear and all cables and wires run without interference. Especially check that there is nothing beneath the rails which might interfere with the wheels.
# If necessary, home the tool to the proper place in relation to the work piece. (In the absence of limit switches, machine origin will be the location when Grbl powers up.)
# (optional) Traverse the working boundary of the job as a final check.
# Browse for the NC file which you have already simulated and send it to the machine.
# Monitor the machine while it operates, ensuring there is no build-up of dust, debris or fumes, and that nothing works loose, keeping clear of the work area. Once the job is complete, turn off the spindle, return the gantry to the home position, or a known offset from home (one may want to wait to turn off the spindle until it's been homed) and ensure the end mill has stopped spinning before removing the finished piece and any waste. Store end mills carefully when not in use so as to protect the edges. Collets and accessories should be cleaned between uses --- wiped off with a suitable solvent such as isopropyl alcohol.

=== Shapeoko Clean-up Checklist ===
Before you leave the lab:
# Remove all materials from the milling bed and clean off all cutting residue.
# Ensure that the Shapeoko is powered off.

== Training ==
Individuals who use this equipment are required to attend a Shapeoko Training session, where they will be trained to understand the safe operating requirements and intrinsic hazards of the Shapeoko.

Contact [mailto:makerspace@physics.wm.edu makerspace@physics.wm.edu] to set up a training session for the use of the Shapeoko.

== Emergency Response ==
If something goes wrong with the machine, turn off the Shapeoko and notify the persons responsible for the system as listed above. Do not try to fix it yourself.

In the event of a fire or any other emergency, evacuate and notify the fire department by dialing 911.

Shapeoko2 Standard Operating Procedures

2015-09-04T00:11:42Z

Wdeconinck: Created page with "== Purpose == This document provides safety guidance and operating instructions for operators of the Shapeoko 2. == Background == The Shapeoko 2 is a CNC router which can be..."

== Purpose ==
This document provides safety guidance and operating instructions for operators of the Shapeoko 2.

== Background ==
The Shapeoko 2 is a CNC router which can be used to cut materials into very precise shapes. It is controlled via computer; instructions are uploaded from CAD software and then executed by the router.

== Authority and Responsibility ==
Wouter Deconinck (757-221-3539) is responsible for the operation of the Shapeoko in conformance with this Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). In his absence, Joshua Erlich (757-221-3763) shall assume these responsibilities.

Anyone who wishes to use the Shapeoko must go through a safety training process first. See the section below for information on training.

== Hazard Analysis ==
=== Hazard Identification ===
# Eye Hazard from flying splinters
# Skin Hazard from flying splinters
# Bodily damage hazard from spinning blade

=== Hazard Mitigation ===
# Mitigation of Eye Hazard:
#* If you are nearby the Shapeoko and it is in use, always wear protective eyegear.
# Mitigation of Skin Hazard:
#* Be aware that the Shapeoko may spray splinters in a close proximity to itself.
#* Do not get too close to the material being cut when it is in use.
# Mitigation of Bodily Damage from spinning blade.
#* Do not touch the spinning blade when it is in use. It is spinning at upwards of 1500 rpm, and can do a lot of damage to the body.
# Failure to follow hazard mitigation rules by laser operators or spectators could result in temporary or permanent suspension of laser cutter privileges.

=== Waste Disposal ===
All scraps from cuts and all cutting residue must be cleaned from the Shapeoko and thrown into the trash after every use.

== Procedures ==
All operating personnel must have read and understood this standard operating procedure (SOP) and all applicable references stated in this SOP. Signatures of all authorized operators are required at the end of this SOP.

# Check the machine (all bolts and set screws tight, belts tight and in good shape, wiring in good condition with continuity and securely fastened, and nothing frayed or broken, everything clear and safe). The bolted down, inverted belts which result when using the belt anchor clips make this somewhat difficult --- use a mirror to examine the belts while moving the machine along its full range of movement.
# Secure the work piece (right-side up and in the desired orientation) to the work surface using a technique appropriate to the material (see Workholding). If operating the machine as a 3D printer ensure that the print bed is level, clean and clear of any debris, foreign objects, or previous prints.
# Mount an appropriate spindle and ensure that it is vertical and square to the machine and well-secured.
# Examine the End mill to ensure that it is sharp and in good condition and not chipped (this is best done with a loupe or magnifying glass), install it per the spindle manufacturer's directions, check to make certain that the collet is tight and will not work loose during operation (it needs to be more than hand-tight --- the machine will take no notice or care if it works loose). If making a 3D print ensure filament is loaded and that the spool feeds freely and there is adequate tension to not be overwhelmed by retraction.
# Ensure the work area is clear and all cables and wires run without interference. Especially check that there is nothing beneath the rails which might interfere with the wheels.
# If necessary, home the tool to the proper place in relation to the work piece. (In the absence of limit switches, machine origin will be the location when Grbl powers up.)
(optional) Traverse the working boundary of the job as a final check.
# Browse for the NC file which you have already simulated and send it to the machine.
# Monitor the machine while it operates, ensuring there is no build-up of dust, debris or fumes, and that nothing works loose, keeping clear of the work area. Once the job is complete, turn off the spindle, return the gantry to the home position, or a known offset from home (one may want to wait to turn off the spindle until it's been homed) and ensure the end mill has stopped spinning before removing the finished piece and any waste. Store end mills carefully when not in use so as to protect the edges. Collets and accessories should be cleaned between uses --- wiped off with a suitable solvent such as isopropyl alcohol.

=== Shapeoko Clean-up Checklist ===
Before you leave the lab:
# Remove all materials from the milling bed and clean off all cutting residue.
# Ensure that the Shapeoko is powered off.

== Training ==
Individuals who use this equipment are required to attend a Shapeoko Training session, where they will be trained to understand the safe operating requirements and intrinsic hazards of the Shapeoko.

Contact [mailto:makerspace@physics.wm.edu|makerspace@physics.wm.edu] to set up a training session for the use of the Shapeoko.

== Emergency Response ==
If something goes wrong with the machine, turn off the Shapeoko and notify the persons responsible for the system as listed above. Do not try to fix it yourself.

In the event of a fire or any other emergency, evacuate and notify the fire department by dialing 911.

Ultimaker Standard Operating Procedures

2015-09-04T00:04:53Z

Wdeconinck: Created page with "== Purpose == This document will explain how to operate the Ultimaker 2 3D printer. == Prerequisites == Before you use to Ultimaker: # Completely read through the Ultimaker ..."

== Purpose ==

This document will explain how to operate the Ultimaker 2 3D printer.

== Prerequisites ==
Before you use to Ultimaker:
# Completely read through the Ultimaker 2 User Manual (spiral bound in one of the 3D printer drawers or at http://wm.edu/as/physics/makerspace/tools/ultimaker2)
# Download, install and familiarize yourself with the Cura software used to generate gcode files for printing from the STL file, and save them to an SD card.
# Gain permission and training to use the Ultimaker.

== Authorization and Training ==
To use the Ultimaker 2, you must receive training on how to operate it. Contact any of the people listed in the authorized trainers table at the end of this document to set up a training session. If you wish to become an authorized trainer, contact either Valerie Gray vmgray@email.wm.edu or Wouter Deconinck wdeconinck@wm.edu
Safety
Do not touch the print head, as it can get to upwards of 260 degrees. (Celsius? Farenheit?)
Procedure
This is meant as a refresher for those who have already been trained; do not try to print something without getting authorized from a trainer first.
Align the build plate
For the initial leveling use the piece of calibration cardboard in the drawer. For the fine tuning, use the piece of calibration paper in the drawer. You should be able to pull the paper without effort, but it should bunch up when you try to push it.

Clean the build plate
Use nail polish remover or acetone (wear nitrile gloves). Check that no residue is left. If you cannot clean the build plate or it is really gross, contact an expert for a more thorough cleaning.

Prepare the build plate
Before every print, apply two coats of AquaNet hairspray. Apply first thin coat evenly (spray for about half a second). Allow the hairspray to dry for several minutes until it feels tacky in the corner (don’t touch the middle), then apply the second coat.

Changing the Filament coil (skip this step if the filament you want is already installed in the Ultimaker. Also, more detailed instructions can be found in the Ultimaker manual sections F3 and D3)
Go to the [MATERIAL] tab on the main menu of the display and then [CHANGE.] Wait until the feeder turns and retracts the filament. Remove the filament.
Make sure you have the filament guided along the filament guide, spooling in the counter clockwise direction. Wait for the print head to heat up. Insert the end of the filament into the feeder, but WAIT to hit continue until it has reached the first tube clip. Follow the rest of the on-screen prompts.
Flush out the old filament by printing the Ultimaker2 robot that comes with Cura (UltimakerRobot_support.stl)

Print
Insert the SD card into the SD card slot. Select [PRINT] and then select the file you wish to print. Select the proper settings for the Ultimaker based on the table below. Wait for the print to completely cool before removing it from the build plate.

General Standard Operating Procedures

2015-09-03T23:43:31Z

Wdeconinck: /* Signatures */

== Purpose ==
The purpose of the Small Hall Makerspace is to allow students to design, build, and test small electronic circuits; experiment with rapid prototyping technologies. This document aims to ensure that all activities are conducted safely.

== Background ==
A makerspace is a location where people with common interests can meet, socialize and/or collaborate. Makerspaces can be viewed as open community labs incorporating elements of machine shops, workshops and/or studios where makers can come together to share resources and knowledge to build and make things. The makerspace provides the tools, the makers bring their creativity.

== Authority and Responsibility ==
Wouter Deconinck (757-221-3539) and Joshua Erlich (757-221-3763) are jointly responsible for the operation of Small Hall Makerspace equipment in conformance with these procedures.

== Hazard Analysis ==

=== Hazard Identification ===
# Skin Hazard from heating elements
# Bodily Damage Hazard from high speed rotary tools
# Eye Hazard from shavings launched from high speed rotary tools
# Ear Hazard from prolonged exposure to noise of high speed rotary tools
# Fire Hazard from friction caused by high speed rotary tools
# Bodily Damage Hazard from sharp hand and power tools
# Skin Hazard from dust
# Lung Hazard from dust
# Fire Hazard from flammable objects
# Skin Hazard from chemicals
# Electrical Hazard from power outlets and cables

=== Hazard Mitigation ===
# Mitigation of Skin Hazard from heating elements
#* There are heating elements in the nozzle of the 3D printer, the nozzle of the filament extruders, as well as in the tips of the soldering irons.
#* Do not touch any of the heating elements while they are activated.
#* Always place heated soldering irons in their holders.
#* Never rest heated soldering irons on a working surface.

# Mitigation of Bodily Damage Hazard from high speed rotary tools
#* Do not touch the high speed rotors while they are spinning

# Mitigation of Eye hazard from shavings launched from high speed rotary tools
#* The generic tool operates at speeds up to 30,000 rpm with a power of 120 W, while the DeWalt tool operates at speeds up to 30,000 rpm with a power of 600 W. At these speeds there is potential for shavings to be projected towards the operator and nearby users.
#* While operating CNC routers the operator and users within a 3 meter radius are required to wear eye protection (safety glasses)
#* Be aware of the danger of flying shavings, and try to stay away from the tool in use as much as possible.

# Mitigation of Ear Hazard from prolonged exposure to noise of high speed rotary tools
#* If CNC routers are use for longer than 2 minutes, all users in the makerspace are required to wear hearing protection (foam ear plugs.)

# Mitigation of Fire Hazard from friction caused by high speed rotary tools
#* A CO2 fire extinguisher must be present when CNC routers are being operated
#* When increasing the rotary velocity on a new material (including the first turn-on) the temperature of the spindle must be checked with a thermometer after approximately 30 seconds of operation.

# Mitigation of Bodily Damage Hazard from sharp hand and power tools
#* Before any hand or power tool is operated, the users must familiarize themselves with the proper operating procedures as outlined in the owner’s manual.
#* There must be at least two people in the makerspace whenever power tools are in use.

# Mitigation of Skin Hazard from dust
#* Dust created by the operation of various grinding and milling tools (including CNC routers and drills) is potentially hazardous, depending on the material being used. For example, walnut wood sawdust is an irritant to the skin and the airways.

# Mitigation of Lung Hazard from dust
#* If CNC routers are used to cut materials that cause visible airborne dust build-up, a dust collection system must be used (shop vac with dedicated collection sleeve) and all users in the makerspace must wear dust masks.
#* When uncontained visible airborne dust build-up occurs when operating power tools or CNC routers, all work must cease to prevent false fire alarms.
#* When any skin or airways irritation is noticed, all work must cease.

# Mitigation of Fire Hazard from flammable objects
#* Any type of open flame is not allowed in the makerspace
#* Keep all objects at least 18” from the ceiling
#* Do not block power outlets with with anything
#* Keep an 18” clearance around all fire alarms

# Mitigation of Skin Hazard from Chemicals
#* Follow all safe handling procedures for each chemical in use.
#* Keep an 18” clearance to the left and the right of the chemical cabinet
#* Do not put anything on top of the chemical cabinet
#* The inventory of the Chemical Cabinet should correspond to the list on the makerspace website. All new chemicals should be reported to Sandra Prior for approval and listing.

# Mitigation of Electrical Hazard from outlets and cables
#* Do not bring any food into the makerspace, all drinks must be in closed containers.

=== Waste Disposal ===
Any garbage created should be immediately disposed of in the proper waste bins. Some materials must be disposed of carefully, so make sure to familiarize yourself with the SOP of anything you use that produces hazardous waste.
=== Hazardous Materials ===
No radioactive or hazardous materials are allowed in the Small Hall Makerspace.

Hazardous materials are understood to be chemicals that are carcinogens, toxic or highly toxic agents, reproductive toxins, irritants, corrosives, hepatotoxins, nephrotoxins, neurotoxins, agents that act on the hematopoietic system, and agents that damage the lungs, skin, eyes, or mucous membranes; chemicals that are combustible liquids, compressed gases, explosives, flammable liquids, flammable solids, organic peroxides, oxidizers, pyrophorics, unstable (reactive) or water-reactive; and chemicals that, in the course of normal handling, use or storage, may produce or release dusts, gases, fumes, vapors, mists or smoke having any of the above characteristics. (Hazardous Materials Management, US General Services Administration, http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/101201, retrieved September 2014).

== Procedures ==
All tools have a standard operating procedure. Make sure to familiarize yourself with each one before using the tool in question.

=== Makerspace Clean-up Checklist ===
Before you leave the makerspace:
* clean up all detritus left over from projects
* Ensure that all tools are put away in their proper places.
* Turn off the light switches.

=== Waste Disposal ===
Any garbage created should be immediately disposed of in the proper waste bins. Some materials must be disposed of carefully, so make sure to familiarize yourself with the SOP of anything you use that produces hazardous waste.
=== Hazardous Materials ===
No radioactive or hazardous materials are allowed in the Small Hall Makerspace.

Hazardous materials are understood to be chemicals that are carcinogens, toxic or highly toxic agents, reproductive toxins, irritants, corrosives, hepatotoxins, nephrotoxins, neurotoxins, agents that act on the hematopoietic system, and agents that damage the lungs, skin, eyes, or mucous membranes; chemicals that are combustible liquids, compressed gases, explosives, flammable liquids, flammable solids, organic peroxides, oxidizers, pyrophorics, unstable (reactive) or water-reactive; and chemicals that, in the course of normal handling, use or storage, may produce or release dusts, gases, fumes, vapors, mists or smoke having any of the above characteristics. (Hazardous Materials Management, US General Services Administration, http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/101201, retrieved September 2014).

== Procedures ==
All tools have a standard operating procedure. Make sure to familiarize yourself with each one before using the tool in question.

=== Makerspace Clean-up Checklist ===
Before you leave the makerspace:
* clean up all detritus left over from projects
* Ensure that all tools are put away in their proper places.
* Turn off the light switches.

== Training ==
There is no inherent training required for the use of the makerspace, besides the reading and signing of this SOP. There is training, however, that is required for the use of the 3D printer and router. Refer to their SOP to find out how to schedule a training session.

== Purpose ==
The purpose of the Small Hall Makerspace is to allow students to design, build, and test small electronic circuits; experiment with rapid prototyping technologies. This document aims to ensure that all activities are conducted safely.

== Background ==
A makerspace is a location where people with common interests can meet, socialize and/or collaborate. Makerspaces can be viewed as open community labs incorporating elements of machine shops, workshops and/or studios where makers can come together to share resources and knowledge to build and make things. The makerspace provides the tools, the makers bring their creativity.

== Authority and Responsibility ==
Wouter Deconinck (757-221-3539) and Joshua Erlich (757-221-3763) are jointly responsible for the operation of Small Hall Makerspace equipment in conformance with these procedures.

Wdeconinck: /* Safety Documentation */

The Small Hall Makerspace is a location where people with common interests can meet, socialize and/or collaborate. Makerspaces can be viewed as open community labs incorporating elements of machine shops, workshops and/or studios where makers can come together to share resources and knowledge to build and make things. The makerspace provides the tools, the makers bring their creativity.

== Innovation and Education ==

Rather than merely learning to reproduce, we are hoping to foster an environment that encourages creation, and to develop a mindset that encourages us to believe that we can learn to do anything.

== Our Mission ==

At the Small Hall Makerspace we innovate, learn and build at the intersection of art, technology, science and culture.

== Safety Documentation ==

Any user of the Small Hall Makerspace must sign the general SOP below.

* [[General Standard Operating Procedures]]

Wdeconinck: /* Our Mission */

The Small Hall Makerspace is a location where people with common interests can meet, socialize and/or collaborate. Makerspaces can be viewed as open community labs incorporating elements of machine shops, workshops and/or studios where makers can come together to share resources and knowledge to build and make things. The makerspace provides the tools, the makers bring their creativity.

== Innovation and Education ==

Rather than merely learning to reproduce, we are hoping to foster an environment that encourages creation, and to develop a mindset that encourages us to believe that we can learn to do anything.

== Our Mission ==

At the Small Hall Makerspace we innovate, learn and build at the intersection of art, technology, science and culture.

== Safety Documentation ==

Particle Core wifi-controlled Arduino boards

2015-05-22T14:35:39Z

Wdeconinck:

We currently have two [http://particle.io Particle Core] boards. The Particle Core boards were known as Spark Core boards before their rebranding in May 2015. Much of the documentation online still refers to Spark, as do some of the tools.

These are the MAC addresses, device IDs, IP addresses, and assigned hostnames:
* 08:00:28:58:b0:1b, 53ff6c066667574817492567, 10.160.137.14, sparky1.physics.wm.edu
* 08:00:28:58:44:a4, 53ff6c066667574823450967, 10.160.137.15, sparky2.physics.wm.edu

Since the Particle Core boards are secured to prevent authorized access, transferring the board to a new use requires releasing the device. In the shared environment of the makerspace this means that '''only the shared account makerspace@physics.wm.edu may claim the devices'''!

== Installation ==

Normally the Particle smart phone app will use bluetooth (?) using the CC3000 TI smart config interface to connect the Particle Core to the wifi network. This is not possible at W&M since all devices have to be authenticated using MAC address and since widgets get added to a different wifi network than smart phones. The devices above have been added manually to the 10.160.137.0/24 widget network. This means that they can only connect to wifi from inside Small Hall, and they can only be contacted from inside Small Hall.

In order to connect over serial to the boards, you will need to install Node.js 10.37 (version matters!). For Ubuntu 14.04 this is done with
sudo apt-get remove node
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install node
sudo npm install -g particle-cli

To install the full toolchain (for example to reflash the Particle board through USB, see the [https://community.particle.io/t/how-to-install-the-spark-toolchain-in-ubuntu-14-04/4139 instructions on how to install the toolchain in Ubuntu 14.04] and make sure to replace spark by particle and adapt for your current version of Ubuntu or other operating system.

== Setup the boards ==

Login in your Particle account (which you should have setup first using the smart phone app or on the [http://particle.io Particle website]):
$ particle cloud login
? Please enter your email address: makerspace@physics.wm.edu
? Please enter your password: ********
> Successfully completed login!

Make sure the Particle Core is in listening mode (blue LED flashing on and off). If it is not in this mode, press the mode button for 3 seconds.

Identify the device ID of the Particle Core:
$ particle serial identify
Your device id is 53ff6c066667574823450967

Setup the wifi connection:
$ particle serial wifi
? Should I scan for nearby Wi-Fi networks? Yes
? SSID: W-M_Wireless
? Security Type: Unsecured
Attempting to configure Wi-Fi on /dev/ttyACM0
If the connection is successful, the LED will pulse magenta.

We have two Intel Edison boards, with campus wifi IP addresses 10.160.137.11 (edison1.physics.wm.edu) and 10.160.137.12 (edison2.physics.wm.edu).

== Connectivity ==

The Intel Edison devices run linux (yocto, ubilinux). You can connect to them over ssh after they connect to wifi. They also present a serial port over USB which can be accessed using minicom (device ttyUSB0 or similar) or screen.

== edison1 ==

Currently mounted on Sparkfun boards (little red boards). Yocto installed.

== edison2 ==

Currently mounted on Intel Edison Developer board (big blue board). Ubilinux (debian wheezy) installed. Everyone can login and authenticate with their campus password (when connected to wifi). Sudo access has to be requested from someone with sudo access.
