Stove: Makerfaire update -Aug 7th

It's time again for FIGMENT! Dates are June 6-7, location on Governor's Island. I've requested the same area we had last year, Nolan Park.

Project description: Participants will step into a booth and be greeted by a screen with a fortune teller's face. They'll activate the teller with a crystal ball and a fortune will be generated for them
based on aspects of the photo.

Implementation details (ongoing):
We'll reuse the booth from last year's FACETRON. The face will be displayed on an Adafruit 32x32 RGB LED matrix, and the brains of the system will be run on a Pi. The fortunes are generated by a Markov generator, read to the participant over headphones via text-to-speech, then printed out on our Brother label printer.

Volunteer list:
* Justin (Sat + Sun, all day)
* Dave (Sat all day)
* John (Sat all day)

= Details =

= Things to Do for Makerfaire (2015-09-05) =
== Software ==
Program face to animate when text to speech plays
-This can be done with separate Pi's, so that the animation playing on the face is not interrupted.

=== Label Printer ====
Currently, there is no ARM driver for the label printer, which means the Raspi cannot print to it. Strangely enough, there *IS* an Android app for it...Somehow, we would like to be able to print without having to go through a PC.

== Hardware ==
Wire components to run from one outlet. At present mutliple USB adapters are required- one for face-pi, one for text-to-speech and fortunte generator pi, and one for Arduino/Teensy. Plus two plugs for laptop and printer, to print the fortunes. Two more plugs power the LEDs and the LED matrix which is the face.

=== Crystal Ball ===
There is a glass globe which we had been using as a crystal ball. It was supposed to be filled with RGB LEDs which flash at random, and indicate that FortunateTron is "thinking" (generating a fortune). The LEDs are outside, and it needs a new microcontroller and additional 5V power source.
A Microchip MGC3130 was planned to be used with this setup, to

== Other ==
Make skeleton look like an actually fortune teller- currently needs lower forearms attached, possibly hands re-worked, and could use some clothing, maybe a paint job.

== Fortune generator ==

It is a second order Markov generator trained on a collection of 1,324 fortunes. Unfortunately that's not a lot, so there will be a lot of fortunes that are fully determined. In a collection of 100,000 generated fortunes, there are only 34,032 unique ones.

Sample:

* You will be selected for a day. Be patient.
* You are the master of every situation.
* Poverty is no disgrace.
* Well-arranged time is in store for you. They will be blinded by passion.
* The love of your destiny until you quit trying.
* Laugh in the world.
* Before the beginning of great brilliance, there must be chaos.
* Your emotional currents are flowing powerfully now.
* Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday
* Determination is the politeness of kings and the lamp post.

Python Text To Speech:

* sudo apt-get install espeak
* sudo raspi-config (set audio to 3.5mm audio jack)
* Use the following code for whatever script
<nowiki>
import os

def say(something):
os.system('espeak -ven+f2 "{0}"'.format(something))

</nowiki>

= FIGMENT 2015 HM Logistics =

== Bootup Sequence ==
username: pi
password: 5am5ung

startx (opening consoles)
cd rpi-rgb-XXXXXX/
sudo python face.py
cd ../FORTUNETRON7000
sudo python fortunetron2.py

every time a visitor presses enter, it should display the quote on the hdmi out and audibly play the fortune text. The quote on the display should close after 5 seconds and return to the console, awaiting the next user.

== Known Issues ==

We were not able to have the face graphics display on the rgb matrix without slowing down fortune rendered down significantly.

If the fortune contains non ASCII characters like quotes or dashes, espeak will crash. To fix, close the rendered fortune and rerun the fortunetron2.py code

== FIGMENT Event Info==

In 2015, FIGMENT will be open to the public on Saturday and Sunday 6/7 June 2015 from 10 AM to 6PM each day.

Favorite moment was when a little girl and parents came up to the crystal ball and asked how it worked. Told her to put her hand over the crystal ball and press enter. Her response "Daddy, go first"

== Load In List ==

= Consensus Agenda =

== Procedure for readmission after termination due to resignation or nonpayment of dues ==

At the last meeting we changed the bylaws to allow us to adopt abbreviated procedures when a member who resigned or whose membership was terminated for nonpayment of dues wishes to become a member again. Under the procedures we adopt, such members would not have to make the 3 visits again.

Proposal: A statement from the new member is circulated to the members list. If there are no objections within N days, that member is readmitted, and otherwise the matter is referred to the next business meeting.

Should the member seeking readmission fulfill other requirements? For example, receive the briefing if he or she never received it in the first place? Pay back dues? Or should things like this be on a case by case basis? Should the board be able to attach conditions for readmission?

=== Proposal for new rule ===

Rule 8 is replaced with:

A former member whose membership was terminated by resignation or because of failure to pay dues may be readmitted by the board if the request is circulated to the members and no objection is received for 5 days, under such conditions as are specified in the request or by the board.

== Confidential membership matter ==

Non-members may be excluded from the discussion of this item.

== Purchasing a new 3D Printer ==

Several of us have found the working 3D printers at the space inadequate; what we have is generally not open to upgrading or materials other than PLA, and the demand for using the printers often exceeds the supply of printers. The simplest solution is just to buy another printer, and we've looked around and selected a $500 mainstream Makerbot-clone type printer that is maintainable and upgradable with widely available parts, and can reasonably be expected to work well from the get-go. This should lighten our load. James Carpino will recommend the specific printer, and I propose we split the cost partly between specific members and HM funds. The breakdown proposed is, $200 total from several HM members, $100 from HM general funds, and $200 from the 3d printing filament fund (which is reported to have enough to support this allocation and still buy plenty of filament).

'''Notice for potential donors''': The funds would be donated to HM (and can be deducted, of course). You won't be "bought out" when you leave HM. It's not impossible to do that a construction like that, but it's a hassle and risky, and I wouldn't consider it for such a small amount. --[[User:Guan|Guan]] ([[User talk:Guan|talk]]) 14:15, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

For each prospective member, please confirm no later than Thursday before the meeting:

Meeting 2015-06-30

2015-06-30T19:05:38Z

Stove: -

= Consensus Agenda =

'''Members meeting''': There is a proposal afoot to make this meeting an official meeting of members within the meaning of section 603 of the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law, to consider changes to the Bylaws. The changes proposed for the [[Meeting 2015-11-24|November annual meeting]] have been moved here, with slight adjustments to fit the circumstances.

== Change in Bylaws: termination for failure to pay dues ==

The third paragraph of Article 2, Section 7, is amended to
<blockquote>Termination of membership due to failure to pay dues, fees or assessments is self-executing and automatically effective
(i) 60 days after the period for which dues have been paid has lapsed, for failure to pay dues or
(ii) 30 days after fees or assessments are due, for failure to pay fees or assessments,
or when otherwise effected by the board or a decision of the members.
A former member must make immediate arrangements to resolve the practical implications of termination, according to procedures adopted by the members or the board. No act, omission or failure by the corporation may prejudice the requirement of former members to fulfill their obligations under the corporation's Bylaws or rules.</blockquote>

This paragraph is added to Article 2, Section 7, of the Bylaws:

<blockquote>The members may adopt abbreviated procedures for the admission of former members whose membership was terminated by resignation or for failure to pay dues, fees or assessments.</blockquote>

The first paragraph of Article 2, Section 7, is amended by appending "or the members" after each occurrence of "the board". The fourth paragraph is amended in the same way.

== Lower quorum requirements ==

Article 3, Section 6, is amended by replacing the first two paragraphs with the following:

<blockquote>A quorum for regularly scheduled monthly members meetings is zero members.A quorum for meetings of members as provided in Article 6 of the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law, including annual meetings, is the lesser of one hundred members or one-tenth of the members entitled to vote at the beginning of the meeting.
Members represented by a proxy continue to count as present for the purpose of determining whether a meeting is quorate.</blockquote>

(The original version proposed lowering the quorum requirement to zero. That is illegal for "real" member meetings.)

== Relax proxy limits ==

Article 3, Section 4, is amended by replacing the last paragraph with the following:

<blockquote>Except for elections, a member may vote on behalf of at most two other members, or one-tenth of the members entitled to vote at the meeting, whichever is higher. A proxy is valid only for a specific meeting or meetings designated in the proxy.</blockquote>

== Clarification of obligation to pay dues ==

The last paragraph of Article 2, Section 7, of the Bylaws is amended by replacing the two instances of “or omission” with a comma and “omission or failure”.

== Confirming power of members to make rules for the space ==

Article 2, Section 5, is amended by adding:

<blockquote>The members may continue to make rules for limiting the access of individual members to use the corporation's facilities and equipment under urgent or extraordinary circumstances, pending a decision on termination of membership.</blockquote>

== Board term does not end if no election was held due to lack of a quorum ==

Article 4, Section 3, is amended by replacing "at the following annual meeting" in the first sentence of the last paragraph with "upon the next election for that office or directorship at a meeting of members", and by adding at the end of the last paragraph: "If an election at a meeting of members is not held due to the lack of a quorum, the board must call a new meeting as soon as practical."

== Other technical corrections to clarify our compliance with the law ==

Article 3, Section 6, is amended by adding:

<blockquote>The procedure for online votes continues to apply only to matters which are not required to be decided by a vote at a meeting of members by the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law.</blockquote>

== Formerly in Consensus Agenda ==

=== Network ===
Please see [[Information Technology]]. While this doesn't necessarily fit here since no vote is technically required, I'd rather see if there are any immediate concerns. That being said, I'll be doing this under the pretenses of "Want to see something happen? Just do it!" We'll see how this goes for 1 month, and if its definitely evident we'll need better hardware, I'll bring it up at the next meeting.

==== Public Service Announcement: We Are Apparently Environmentalists ====
Or at least, in Matt's perfect vision. However, the following statements are reasonable not only in the interest of saving the environment but saving money as well. Please don't keep the AC (now ACs?) running overnight. The AC on the EE side has a timer on it as a makeshift "remote control". It's a feature. Not a bug. (The following statement does bug me personally because I think we should have ice all the time, but I'm hot.) The ice maker is now on a timer as well. These timers are apparently "simple" to use.
:You are not as hot as you think. --[[User:Guan|Guan]] ([[User talk:Guan|talk]]) 13:59, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
::Guan, you know I'm hot, there's no denying it. <tt>:^)</tt> [[User:Leee|Leee]] ([[User talk:Leee|talk]]) 16:58, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

==== You All Are Disgusting Slobs (with no sense of organization) ====
Just because we're a hackerspace doesn't mean we can't have nice things. This includes a clean space. Matt, Rob, and Eugene cleaned 3/5th of the Laptop Island/Laptopia yesterday - this involved wet-wiping down the tables, "commercial citrus degreasers" that evidently don't work, mopping the floor underneath them, and moving the disgusting dirty mess of storage to the project space area. Eugene started organizing "cubicleish area" in preparation for the cleaning of the rats nest. We intend (and hope others will pitch in) to clean the last two parts nearest to the windows that compose Laptop Island/Laptopia. In addition, if you are well versed with industrial cleaners, your help would be much appreciated in degreasing parts of the tables.

==== Because Why Not? ====
Following this intense ride of passion for making the space better, we also went ahead and installed the air conditioner that used to just be my foot rest into the unused air conditioner area. Matt did one hell of a job with insulation. Kudos to him.

==== WE WANT YOU! ====
To better the space. See something? Don't say something, just do it. (ugh too many tropes I'll show myself out.)

==== Antenna Install ====
[[File:Roof-dipole-overlay.png|thumb|right|upright=0.50]]
A (gently used - read: never used while deployed in an attic) dipole antenna (Alpha Delta DX-CC) will be installed over the course of the next few weeks, pending building approval.

The antenna is a dipole, composed of two "legs" and a center. The center will be hoisted with a flagpole style setup. Three eyeloops will be installed walldog style into the chimney stack, one at the top, two at the bottom. A pair of a top and bottom eyeloop will be used to loop thin rope, with the third eyeloop at the bottom used to lock the position of the rope when the antenna is deployed - this way one can perform maintenance by lowering the antenna whenever necessary. <strike>The legs will be guyed - the end closer to the front will be tied to a clamp on the I beam, and the other end will be guyed to a clamp on the ledge. Please see the photo to the right for a diagram for placement.</strike> '''Please ask [[User:Leee]] for updated details on how the legs will be set up.''' The antenna won't be hooked up to coax yet but the intention is to run coax down through some piping and inside into the building, very much unlike the current sad vertical (???) that's out there.

For the radio nerds out there, this will give us a decent throw into Europe and that general vicinity, as well as the continental US. This will vastly improve our ability to work digital, as well as give us a chance to break through the noise for SSB during contests and the like.

The antenna (Alpha Delta DX-CC) is a multi-band center fed dipole and can cover 10-20-40 meters. It can do okayish sometimes on WARC bands but you'll need a pretty damn good tuner and low expectations.

==== Amateur Radio Hardware ====
In the same vein, an Icom IC-7100 transceiver, MFJ (short for Mighty Fine Junk) 100W tuner, and a 32A power supply (probably switching) will be placed on loan to the space since their current owner spends more time at work and HM than at home. The reasoning for "loaning" instead of donating is because one should take responsibility for the hardware and maintenance should the need arise. The hardware would take place of what's currently on the desk. Since the transceiver was designed as a mobile with a remote head unit, the transceiver, tuner, and power supply can be in one place (floor?) while the remote control head can stay on the table. The current (Kenwood transceiver? Sad power supply? Manual LC tuner?) hardware definitely should be kept somewhere as backup, not to mention just in case enough Hack Manhattan members/operators decides to run M/2 (multiple transmitters, 2 operators) or even perhaps multi-multi (multiple transmitters, multiple operators). What a dream!

The event was fun, and it was a nice opportunity to interact with the community and raise a bit of awareness. We, as a community, should consider being more present at some of these community events to promote making in general, as well as specifically Hack Manhattan.

Meeting 2015-06-30

2015-06-26T18:58:26Z

Stove: /* Member Reports */ CoderDojo update.

= Consensus Agenda =

'''Members meeting''': There is a proposal afoot to make this meeting an official meeting of members within the meaning of section 603 of the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law, to consider changes to the Bylaws. The changes proposed for the [[Meeting 2015-11-24|November annual meeting]] have been moved here, with slight adjustments to fit the circumstances.

== Change in Bylaws: termination for failure to pay dues ==

The third paragraph of Article 2, Section 7, is amended to
<blockquote>Termination of membership due to failure to pay dues, fees or assessments is self-executing and automatically effective
(i) 60 days after the period for which dues have been paid has lapsed, for failure to pay dues or
(ii) 30 days after fees or assessments are due, for failure to pay fees or assessments,
or when otherwise effected by the board or a decision of the members.
A former member must make immediate arrangements to resolve the practical implications of termination, according to procedures adopted by the members or the board. No act, omission or failure by the corporation may prejudice the requirement of former members to fulfill their obligations under the corporation's Bylaws or rules.</blockquote>

This paragraph is added to Article 2, Section 7, of the Bylaws:

<blockquote>The members may adopt abbreviated procedures for the admission of former members whose membership was terminated by resignation or for failure to pay dues, fees or assessments.</blockquote>

The first paragraph of Article 2, Section 7, is amended by appending "or the members" after each occurrence of "the board". The fourth paragraph is amended by amended in the same way.

== Lower quorum requirements ==

Article 3, Section 6, is amended by replacing the first two paragraphs with the following:

<blockquote>A quorum for regularly scheduled monthly members meetings is zero members.A quorum for meetings of members as provided in Article 6 of the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law, including annual meetings, is the lesser of one hundred members or one-tenth of the members entitled to vote at the beginning of the meeting.
Members represented by a proxy continue to count as present for the purpose of determining whether a meeting is quorate.</blockquote>

(The original version proposed lowering the quorum requirement to zero. That is illegal for "real" member meetings.)

== Relax proxy limits ==

Article 3, Section 4, is amended by replacing the last paragraph with the following:

<blockquote>Except for elections, a member may vote on behalf of at most two other members, or one-tenth of the members entitled to vote at the meeting, whichever is higher. A proxy is valid only for a specific meeting or meetings designated in the proxy.</blockquote>

== Clarification of obligation to pay dues ==

The last paragraph of Article 2, Section 7, of the Bylaws is amended by replacing the two instances of “or omission” with a comma and “omission or failure”.

== Confirming power of members to make rules for the space ==

Article 2, Section 5, is amended by adding:

<blockquote>The members may continue to make rules for limiting the access of individual members to use the corporation's facilities and equipment under urgent or extraordinary circumstances, pending a decision on termination of membership.</blockquote>

== Board term does not end if no election was held due to lack of a quorum ==

Article 4, Section 3, is amended by replacing "at the following annual meeting" in the first sentence of the last paragraph with "upon the next election for that office or directorship at a meeting of members", and by adding at the end of the last paragraph: "If an election at a meeting of members is not held due to the lack of a quorum, the board must call a new meeting as soon as practical."

== Other technical corrections to clarify our compliance with the law ==

Article 3, Section 6, is amended by adding:

<blockquote>The procedure for online votes continues to apply only to matters which are not required to be decided by a vote at a meeting of members by the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law.</blockquote>

== Network ==

==== Antenna Install ====
[[File:Roof-dipole-overlay.png|thumb|right|upright=0.50]]
A (gently used - read: never used while deployed in an attic) dipole antenna (Alpha Delta DX-CC) will be installed over the course of the next few weeks, pending building approval.

The antenna is a dipole, composed of two "legs" and a center. The center will be hoisted with a flagpole style setup. Three eyeloops will be installed walldog style into the chimney stack, one at the top, two at the bottom. A pair of a top and bottom eyeloop will be used to loop thin rope, with the third eyeloop at the bottom used to lock the position of the rope when the antenna is deployed - this way one can perform maintenance by lowering the antenna whenever necessary. The legs will be guyed - the end closer to the front will be tied to a clamp on the I beam, and the other end will be guyed to a clamp on the ledge. Please see the photo to the right for a diagram for placement. The antenna won't be hooked up to coax yet but the intention is to run coax down through some piping and inside into the building, very much unlike the current sad vertical (???) that's out there.

For the radio nerds out there, this will give us a decent throw into Europe and that general vicinity, as well as the continental US. This will vastly improve our ability to work digital, as well as give us a chance to break through the noise for SSB during contests and the like.

The antenna (Alpha Delta DX-CC) is a multi-band center fed dipole and can cover 10-20-40 meters. It can do okayish sometimes on WARC bands but you'll need a pretty damn good tuner and low expectations.

==== Amateur Radio Hardware ====
In the same vein, an Icom IC-7100 transceiver, MFJ (short for Mighty Fine Junk) 100W tuner, and a 32A power supply (probably switching) will be placed on loan to the space since their current owner spends more time at work and HM than at home. The reasoning for "loaning" instead of donating is because one should take responsibility for the hardware and maintenance should the need arise. The hardware would take place of what's currently on the desk. Since the transceiver was designed as a mobile with a remote head unit, the transceiver, tuner, and power supply can be in one place (floor?) while the remote control head can stay on the table. The current (Kenwood transceiver? Sad power supply? Manual LC tuner?) hardware definitely should be kept somewhere as backup, not to mention just in case enough Hack Manhattan members/operators decides to run M/2 (multiple transmitters, 2 operators) or even perhaps multi-multi (multiple transmitters, multiple operators). What a dream!

==== CoderDojo Maker event ====

Matt managed to wrangle Johnny into spending Saturday entertaining some kids at CoderDojo and promoting the space. While Matt did what he does best, making a huge mess and teaching kids to ignore their parents, Johnny wowed kids and parents alike with the power of the Pi! The event was fun, and it was a nice opportunity to interact with the community and raise a bit of awareness. We, as a community, should consider being more present at some of these community events to promote making in general, as well as specifically HackManhattan.

And they had beer...afterwards, of course.

Keyless Entry

2015-05-28T14:30:48Z

Stove: /* Lock box */

= Threat model: 5–5–5 =

Our system should be secure against a talented hacker who is willing to spend:

* 5 minutes
* $5 (excluding any items that can be found in the space)
* 5 google searches

= Access tokens =

== iButton ==

[http://www.maximintegrated.com/en/products/ibutton/ibuttons/index.cfm iButtons] are small 1-wire devices that have a unique 7-byte serial number and often also an EEPROM. The iButton component of our system will use [http://www.maximintegrated.com/en/products/digital/memory-products/DS1961S.html DS1961S] iButtons that have a SHA-1 engine. An 8-byte secret is stored in the button's EEPROM on setup. We can then issue 3-byte challenges, and the button will respond with a SHA-1 hash of the challenge, its serial number, and other data. This is more secure than anything else affordable that we have considered.

Every button will have a unique 8-byte secret. These secrets are stored on a server. The server issues challenges and verifies hashes. We need connectivity to the server to verify hashes.

As a backup, we could have a list of serial numbers of buttons that have access. When there is no connection to the server, we can fall back to verifying serial numbers only. This is vulnerable to an attacker who purposefully disrupts the connection to the server.

== iButton via BodyCom ==
[http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/AppNotes/01391A.pdf BodyCom] is a method of sending data through a capacitive coupled connection to the human body.

I intend to make a system consisting of 2- LR44's, a vibration motor, a uC, the MCP2035 front-end, and an iButton socket as to use the same credentials of the iButton but in a more user-friendly manner. By keeping the system on yourself, it should be possible to unlock the door by touching any part of your body to the reader. For improved coupling it will be recommended to keep the system inside your underwear. The vibration motor will be used to notify the user that the iButton is being accessed. This should alert the user that someone is trying to take their credentials if they are not touching the reader.

== MIFARE Classic 1K RFID ==

MIFARE Classic 1K are cheap and easy to obtain. Unfortunately they are not compatible with common NYC area RFID tokens such as NYU student IDs and Citi Bike keys. Charlie Cards from Boston do use MIFARE Classic, but few members commute in from Boston.

The crypto for MIFARE Classic is thoroughly broken. The cards are also easily cloned. The security amounts to being able to write data to the card, and reading it again, without any guarantees of uniqueness or secrecy.

We can mitigate this by writing a new 48-byte authenticator token every time a card is used, and require a card with the new authenticator for the next access attempt. This way a card can be cloned, but only one of the clones is useful in the future. We can also write a public key signature issued by the server, so cards can be verified by an offline device even when that card has never been seen before.

== Out of band ==

It will also be possible to log on to a website and order unlocks remotely.

= Mechanical =

== Electric strike ==

This is less mechanically secure, but much easier to deal with and to troubleshoot if something goes wrong.

== Gears ==

Nickolai will be taking the lead on the mechanical portion, please send any and all comments, concerns, feedback to him.

Options:

1) Scrap existing lock and buy an electronic lock designed for keyless entry (kinda boring, we are a hackerspace after all)

2) Fit a part of the existing lock, and connect it to a servo, which would of course be connected to an arduino-like device which is itself connected to an RFID reader that scans member's keyless entry cards. See photos below

My only concern with #2 is that the best way to attached the gear to the current lock, in my view, is epoxy. If the gear wears out sufficiently it may be difficult, although certainly not impossible, to replace.

rmd: This one should be able to turn even a fairly tough deadbolt: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11881
I wouldn't use epoxy to connect it, I'd lathe something out of aluminum to fit the deadbolt knob, and bolt the servo frame securely to the inside of the door.

Nickolai: I ordered this one: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9347, if it's not strong enough I'll order that one, thanks for the link.

Here's a CAD image of what I think the system design will look like:

[[File:Lock gear design v2.png|500px]]

It simply fits over the existing lock and is held in place by set screws. Dave and I (Nickolai) printed out a test piece and found that it works best with the two set screws on top and bottom (along the major axis of the ellipse), otherwise the screws tend to impinge upon the knob and force the assembly to bite into the lock, significantly increasing the torque required to move it.

The few holes on the smaller gear are how it mounts to the servo. The gears were designed using a gear design toolbox in Autodesk Inventor, so they shouldn't have any problems meshing. Just need to print and put in place.

= Electrical =

== Front door ==

We are using an AQV252G solid state relay to short the two wires in the intercom that need to be shorted to operate the buzzer.

The line to the solid state relay is connected to pin 14 on the WRTnode, which can be configured as GPIO 37. We suspect that it is currently still operational as the SPI slave select pin, which is idle high. We can operate the buzzer by cycling pin mode between output and input.

(Note: It should be moved to GPIO 0, but this requires the ladder.)

== Space door ==

There is now a beautiful electric strike installed by [[User:Stove]]. It is connected to another AQV252G solid state relay connected to a WRTnode, on GPIO 0.

Here is the wiring:

[[File:Space-door-relay.jpg|300px]]

== Interface ==

Both front door and space door strikeplates are controlled by WRTnodes. They will mainly be managed by separate server software, which will SSH into the WRTnodes to control them.

= Transition =

Goals for the transition:

* Both old and new systems work for a period of time
* Minimize disruption to members who do not show up very often

== Current space door lock ==

Once we transition to the electric strike, the top deadbolt lock will not be used a lot and needs to be effectively disabled. It would still be useful to have it around as a backup. One solution could be to remove the pin that currently locks it in place, and put it back if we ever need a backup. We could also rekey the lock.

== Mail tokens ==

Members who come in regularly can mail can obtain a token easily. Members who are not around so often could be mailed a new RFID or iButton.

== Web based email authenticated system ==

We have the email addresses of all the members, but not necessarily an account with username/password anywhere.

For members who do not come in frequently, we could ask them to use a smartphone or similar to enter their email into a box. The system would then email them a special link, which will open the door for the next 15 minutes.

== Lock box ==

We could get a new cylinder keyed to the same key as the current top space door lock. This cylinder would not be attached to an actual lock, but would be mounted in a box with a switch inside. Members could then insert their key and rotate the cylinder, to prove that they are authorized. That would send an electronic signal to actuate the electric strikeplate.

* One possibility would be to remove the mating plate for the deadbolt, and install a simple limit switch/other sensor where the bolt passes. When someone needs to open the door using the key, if they successfully turn the lock, the strike plate gets triggered for a moment. It would work for UNLOCKING, but since locking is automatic via the strike plate, it wouldn't matter. It's a kluge, but it would work (I think!) -Matt

= Database =

The backend will handle authenticating incoming RFID requests, as well as database administration.

= Frontends =
Frontends may be accessible over the Internet, but should be restricted to https only connections. It may also be worthwhile to limit administrative commands over the Internet to minimize hacking risk.

== Web Frontend ==

== Mobile Frontend ==

= Photos =

[[File:Lock-1.jpg|400px]]

[[File:Lock-2.jpg|400px]]

Prototype for a keyless entry system that would fit over the existing lock.

[[File:keyless entry mech proto2.jpg|400px]]

Left: SD card placeholder, for size comparison. Right, a prototype of a part of a system that would fit over the existing lock. The part would be geared in the final version.

The part would fit over the lock like this:

[[File:Keyless entry mechanical proto.jpg|400px]]

Then a servo could be attached to the door to the left of the lock.

= Protocol specifications =

== iButton ==

Communication is over a serial port. We use NMEA style framing, where all messages start with $, and end in an asterisk, a two-nibble (1 byte) zero padded upper case hex representing the XOR of all the bytes between $ and *, and CRLF. Unlike NMEA, the maximum line length is not 82 characters. Instead, it is defined by the longest message in use, and currently 135 characters. Most long byte sequences, such as ID numbers and hashes, are sent least significant or lowest memory address first. See special scheme for SHA-1 hashes.

=== Peripheral to host ===

==== PBUTN ====

Used to indicate that a new button has been detected. One argument, the address of the button detected.

$PBUTN,33E9FC6E01000045*7B

==== PSTAT ====

Used to indicate the result of the previous operation. Arguments are ID, operation type and status code (0 for success).

$PSTAT,33E9FC6E01000045,WRITESECRET,0*1F

==== PPAGE ====

Result of an authenticated page read. Arguments are ID, page address (2-byte 0-padded hex), and page contents.

$PPAGE,33E9FC6E0100004,0000,0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000,02E0F65CBC7277C358352C19B1138CE95DBF185D*70

=== Host to peripheral ===

==== HWRSC ====

Store a secret. Arguments are ID and secret (8 bytes). On the peripheral, this combines write scratchpad and load first secret operations.

$HWRSC,33E9FC6E01000045,0000000000000000*57

==== HVRFY ====

Issue 3-byte challenge (write to scratchpad 5th, 6th and 7th byte) and read authenticated page. Arguments are ID, challenge (3 bytes).

$HVRFY,33E9FC6E01000045,000000*59

This is a convenience method to carry out common verify operations. It is left to the controller which page to read on and what else to write to the scratchpad.

=== SHA-1 sequence ===

The output state of the SHA-1 algorithm is communicated using the scheme described in Table 2 of the DS1961S datasheet. The words are sent in the order E, D, C, B, A. Within each word, bytes are sent least significant byte first.

Have you met Konstantin the 2nd yet? ;)

Hey HM, my name is Konstantin Leonenko. I'm a maker/designer from Ukraine/Netherlands with education in electromechanics and sound synthesis and experience in implementing wild artistic ideas into real-world things on tight budgets. You can see some of my work at [http://www.behance.net/leonenko behance]. I've been hanging around at HM for the last month, intensely exploiting the Ultimaker. I love the vibe here and find the crowd extremely knowledgeable and inspiring. Would be very happy to interact with and contribute to this community.

Johnny

Hello, my name is Johnny and I'm a local Android/iOS developer. I've visited HM the last few weeks to work on prototyping a automated cigarette dispenser project. My interest span through almost any consumer technology I can get my hands on, more times from too-good-to-be-true kick starters. Lately, healthcare and big data visualizations have my primary focus. Every visit to HM has been educational and I've made significant progress on my projects. I'd like to continue to work with the people here as an official member.

This rebuild/refit will allow for larger projects, and quicker access to newly organized tools. We are hoping that this can serve as a model for other areas of the space to be refit in the future (looking at YOU, electronics area) promoting more participation in the organization and customization of HM. The total for the project was $300, so we are requesting $100 in additional funds for reimbursement.

I'm a maker/designer from Ukraine/Netherlands with education in electromechanics and sound synthesis and experience in implementing wild artistic ideas into real-world things on tight budgets. You can see some of my work at [http://www.behance.net/leonenko behance]. I've been hanging around at HM for the last month, intensely exploiting the Ultimaker. I love the vibe here and find the crowd extremely knowledgeable and inspiring. Would be very happy to interact with and contribute to this community.

Hello, my name is Johnny and I'm a local Android/iOS developer. I've visited HM the last few weeks to work on prototyping a automated cigarette dispenser project. My interest span through almost any consumer technology I can get my hands on, more times from too-good-to-be-true kick starters. Lately, healthcare and big data visualizations have my primary focus. Every visit to HM has been educational and I've made significant progress on my projects. I'd like to continue to work with the people here as an official member.

====Machine Shop Rebuild====
Hopefully you all have ahd the opportunity to wander in to the machining area, newly organized and assembled by a group of volunteers two weekends ago. We came, we debated, we built. This rebuild/refit will allow for larger projects, and quicker access to newly organized tools. We are hoping that this can serve as a model for other areas of the space to be refit in the future (looking at YOU, electronics area) promoting more participation in the organization and customization of HM. The total for the project was $300, so we are requesting $100 in additional funds for reimbursement.
