<hr />
<div>A living hinge is a way to make rigid materials like plywood and acrylic sheets flexible by making cuts in the material. The Living Hinge Inkscape extension is a project by Mark Endicott to automate the process of drawing the cut lines needed to form a living hinge. It is an extension to the popular SVG graphics program Inkscape.<br />
<br />
== Living Hinge Examples ==<br />
[[File:Living hinge.jpg|800px]]<br />
<br />
[[File:Living_hinge_(wood).jpg|800px]]<br />
<br />
The pattern of cuts in these hinges are typical of those used to make a living hinge. <br />
<br />
== Installing the Extension ==<br />
To install the extension in Inkscape two files are needed:<br />
<br />
living_hinge.inx<br />
<br />
living_hinge.py<br />
<br />
Both are available from GitHub[https://github.com/drphonon/Inkscape_LivingHinge] in a zip file[https://github.com/drphonon/Inkscape_LivingHinge/archive/master.zip]. <br />
<br />
Both files need to be put in the Inkscape extensions directory. On Linux it is located somewhere like /usr/share/inkscape/extensions. On Windows you will find an inkscape/extensions directory in the program files directory. On Mac you're on your own.<br />
<br />
== Using the Extension ==<br />
You select one or more rectangles in the SVG document. Each rectangle will be filled with cut lines for a living hinge. Each set of cut lines for a hinge are created as a single path. The rectangles must be selected before accessing the extension. It is accessed by the menu Extensions->Render->Living Hinge<br />
<br />
[[File:hinge_menu.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
The extension dialog has a few parameters to set.<br />
<br />
[[File:hinge_dialog.png|400px]]<br />
<br />
cut length (y): This is the length of each cut in the hinge. The cuts run in the y-direction.<br />
<br />
gap length (y): This is the distance in the y-direction between adjacent cuts.<br />
<br />
separation distance (x): This is the separation in the x-direction between successive lines of cuts.<br />
<br />
The cut length will be adjusted so that an integral number of cuts is made inside the rectangle in the y-direction. The separation distance will be adjusted so that an integer number of cuts is made inside the rectangle in the x-direction.<br />
<br />
Here is the result.<br />

<div><nowiki>*** THE LASER PRINTER IS CURRENTLY ACTING UP ***</nowiki><br />
<br />
- THE "PRINT HEAD" DRIVE IS NOT MOVING SMOOTHLY<br />
<br />
- DURING A PRINT THE IMAGE WAS SHIFTED TO THE LEFT 2"<br />
<br />
THE LAST PROBLEM MIGHT BE THE COMPUTER<br />
<br />
NOTICED BY TYLER AT 2:30 AM ON 8/6/2011<br />
<br />
More info---- I just tried the lassor again (1 pm 8/6/11) and it worked - kinda. It cut in the intended location, but the horizontal lines (X) had some small bumps in them. I saw that on my last cut on Thursday, but everyone seemed to think that I was cutting too slow and too hot. I don't have time right now to dig in, but has anyone tried lube on the drive? If no one works on it this weekend, I will have some time on Monday. timjusttim.<br />
<br />
8/7/11 <br />
I tried engraving with the laser and had the same problem. The x-axis belt on the laser seemed to jump. Per the manual I loosened the belt and now it seems to work. Tried engraving at different starting locations and vector cutting. Back in working order.<br />

== How to use the freakin' laser ==<br />
<br />
1. Turn the power strip under the table. This powers the laser, water pump and air pump.<br />
<br />
2. Make sure the water pump is on. (You can feel the 5 gal. bucket vibrate)<br />
<br />
3. Verify the water pump is on. The laser tube will crack in 30 seconds if the water pump is not on.<br />
<br />
4. If the water pump is off GO BACK TO STEP 2.<br />
<br />
5. Make sure the air compressor is on.<br />
<br />
6. Reset the emergency stop button.<br />
<br />
7. Turn the key to the on position.<br />
<br />
8. Rejoice in the light (the florescent light should be on)<br />
<br />
9. Read this --> [[File:Laser Presentation.pdf]] (some items don't apply this was written by another hackerspace)<br />
<br />
Do<br />
1. Check for water flow on startup<br />
2. Make sure exhaust fan is running<br />
3. Check for fires and put them out ;) <br />
<br />
Don't<br />
<br />
1. Ever leave the laser unattended (see fires above)<br />
2. Turn off the “Air” button. That needs to be on to protect the lens<br />
3. Laser on Vinyl, PVC, Sintra (will produce corrosive and toxic gases)<br />
4. Cut metals (it won't work)<br />
5. Bump or touch the mirrors or lenses (will put the machine out of alignment or damage optics)<br />
<br />

* [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/files/FSL_40w_Hobby_Laser_Manual.pdf Manual] <br />
* Drivers are on the cutter machine. We will figure out another way to get the drivers out to members.<br />
<br />
== Safety information and training ==<br />
We should have a bunch of helpful information here on safe operation of the device and who to go to to be trained on its use here.<br />
<br />
* Please speak to one of the people who is experienced with this laser cutter before using it so we can show you where everything is, how to setup the software, how to use it without breaking it, basic safety tips, etc.<br />
<br />
* Read the instructions first. [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/files/FSL_40w_Hobby_Laser_Manual.pdf Manual] <br />
<br />
* Never turn the current up above 15 milliamps, that will fry the laser tube quickly. Usually just a few milliamps is more than enough power to do what you want. Using too much power on wood or paper will start a fire. Instead of turning up the power, turn down the speed and/or use multiple passes. Always use the minimum power you can do to the job to prevent unsightly burn marks and extend the life of the laser tube.<br />
<br />
* Never operate the laser cutter unattended because sometimes things catch fire. A squirt bottle with water is kept next to the laser to put out small fires. A fire extinguisher is in the corner of the room for larger issues.<br />
<br />
* If little flames shoot up off of your material, turn down the power. Little flames can start fires and will fog up the lens, which is difficult to clean.<br />
<br />
* It is easy to make the laser head bang against the side or top of the unit. This causes an awful noise and must be very bad for the gears. If the laser cutter makes a banging noise, stop it immediately and reposition the laser head before the next cut, or resize the artwork.<br />
<br />
* Do not cut plastics which create hazardous fumes when burned. Acrylic is ok. PVC and vinyl releases the very toxic gas phosgene when heated. As a general rule, chemical resistant plastics should not be put in the laser cutter.<br />
<br />
* Be very careful with the silver honeycomb, especially when removing it from the machine to clean little bits of debris off of it. It bends very easily and once bent can not be straightened out completely. It is mostly a cosmetic issue, but pressing your thumb in the wrong place will cause permanent marks.<br />
<br />
* Do not laser materials that make an excessive amount of smoke. A little smoke is ok, but a large amount can fog up the lens. If it is making a lot of smoke, use more passes at a lower power.<br />
<br />
* When cutting paper, turn down the power to a couple milliamps, or it will catch fire.<br />
<br />
* Make sure the water pump and air assist are running!<br />
<br />
== Software ==<br />
<br />
Any program can print to the laser cutter, I had success using Inkscape and Gimp. Gimp is not very good for doing vector cuts, a major limitation. Inkscape is not the easiest software to learn but it is not difficult either. <br />
<br />
=== RetinaEngrave (Windows) ===<br />
==== Requirements ====<br />
<br />
Windows XP or Windows 7<br />
<br />
==== Supported formats/modes ====<br />
==== How to install ====<br />
<br />
* Download and install USB drivers<br />
* Download and install RetinaEngrave<br />
* Download and install Direct Print drivers<br />
<br />
==== How to use ====<br />
<br />
== Rastor ==<br />
<br />
* Get an image, any format<br />
* Load the image into The Gimp and make any necessary changes<br />
* Start RetinaEngrave<br />
* Print the image to the Full Spectrum Engineering Driver<br />
* Switch to RetinaEngrave. Set the speed to 75% or less. Press Go.<br />
<br />
== Vector ==<br />
<br />
* Get an image, any format<br />
* Load the image into The Gimp and make any necessary changes<br />
* Copy the image to the clipboard<br />
* Start Inkscape and create a new A4 Landscape document<br />
* Paste the image into the new document<br />
* Select all. Go to the Path menu and select Trace Bitmap<br />
* Print the image to the Full Spectrum Engineering Driver<br />
* Switch to RetinaEngrave. Select the Vector tab.<br />
* Set the speed on the right hand side. Press Go.<br />
<br />
=== Inkscape Notes ===<br />
* You can import a bitmap and trace it (Path->Trace Bitmap)<br />
* Hit F2 to Edit Path by Nodes. Spend some time getting used to using this feature and all the nuances of node editing such as adding and subtracting nodes.<br />
* Use Path -> Break apart to be able to select and remove double lines<br />
* VERY IMPORTANT!!! If you add text to vector cut, be sure to Path->Object to Path on the text or the vector side of Retina Engrave will hang!<br />
* Save often. Inkscape crashes occasionally!<br />
* Use the Bezier Curves and Straight Lines (Pen tool) to draw vectors easily.<br />
* Take advantage of grids and snap<br />
* If you have something that you may want to cut again, you can use Retina Engrave to save your job. It works well and then you do not have to reopen Inkscape.<br />
<br />
=== [https://github.com/Metalab/ctrl-cut ctrl-cut] ===<br />
Amir Hassan and Marius Kintel are working on open source laser cutter drivers through the CUPS interface. Primarily they're working on getting it operational with an Epilog cutter, but would like to expand past that soon.<br />
<br />
== Quirks ==<br />
<br />
* If your PC is connected to the laser cutter with the usb cable, and you have the RetinaEngrave software and drivers installed, and you still can't get the machine to acknowledge you (e.g. you try to press the "jog" buttons and the laser head doesn't move) try these things:<br />
** There is a button between the "jog right" and "jog left" button. It shifts between UNLOCK and LOCK. Toggel it and try again!<br />
** There is a big red emergency stop button on top of the laser cutter. It might be pressed down, which means the machine won't work. Press it again.<br />
<br />
* It is easy to make the laser head bang against the side or top of the unit. Don't let it do that.<br />
<br />
* If you are doing a raster engrave, you can not set the speed too high. Here is some artwork on paper, raster engrave, 250 dpi 85% speed: [http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t265/alanrockefeller/IMG_0190.jpg]. Here is the same image at 71% speed: [http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t265/alanrockefeller/IMG_0192.jpg]<br />
At 500 dpi, 75% speed was too much. 72% was also too fast. <br />
I also saw the problem at 250 dpi 71% and 1000 dpi 65%. Full spectrum engineering said on Feb 25 that this problem is caused by the belt being too tight. [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=310]<br />
<br />
*You don't need to watch the laser every single second, but you should at least stay in the little room while it's on and keep a general eye on it. Why? Because if you're using something burnable, there's a chance it can catch fire. Which is bad.<br />
<br />
* Turn off the machine when not in use. The air pump gets hot if left on for long periods. It is not quite hot enough to cause a problem, but it will last longer if it is not always on, and turning it off will keep dust from accumulating inside the laser unnecessarily.<br />
<br />
== Things you can put in the laser cutter ==<br />
<br />
* Paper (cardstock could have additives that should not go in the cutter, test a sample)<br />
* Acrylic and several other plastics<br />
* Wood (careful of fire, treated wood could have additives)<br />
* Cotton<br />
* Many other fabrics (moleskin books can have high chlorine content)<br />
* Cell phones (check for chlorine in the plastic)<br />
* Laptops (check for chlorine in the plastic)<br />
* Leather<br />
* Glass<br />
* Anodized/coated metal<br />
* Chocolate<br />
<br />
== Things you should not put in the laser cutter ==<br />
<br />
* Anything containing chlorine <br />
* PVC (this includes Moleskine notebooks)<br />
* Lexan<br />
* Vinyl<br />
* Bare metal<br />
* Animals<br />
* People<br />
* Butane lighters<br />
* Gasoline or other liquids<br />
* Any powder (the compressed air will blow it away)<br />
<br />
== Tips ==<br />
<br />
* Before putting your material into the laser cutter, test your image on paper. If you don't test on paper first you will ruin a lot of the material you are cutting. Once it looks good on paper you can place your material on the paper so you know it is positioned properly, and refocus if the material is thick.<br />
<br />
* When engraving raster images, they go much faster if you use a lower DPI. The lowest setting is 250 DPI and that is enough for most things. Use higher DPI only with high resolution images and with materials that show the difference.<br />
<br />
== Cutting power / speeds ==<br />
<br />
<nowiki>** There is a list floating around laser cutter with setting that have been tested **</nowiki><br />
<br />
The best way to use the laser is with a vector image.<br />
You will have more control over power and speed.<br />
<br />
''[http://wiki.nycresistor.com/wiki/Laser_Power NYCR's Laser Power table]''<br />
<br />
* Typing paper - 100% speed, 3 milliamps<br />
* 2mm acrylic - 25% speed, 8 milliamps<br />
* 5/8ths inch acrylic - 1% speed, 12 milliamps, 2 passes<br />
* Plastic with metalic coating - 5 - 7 milliamps rastor, 3 ma vector<br />
* Linen - 70% speed, 4 milliamps, 1 pass<br />
<br />
== Specifications ==<br />
<br />
* Maximum material size: 13" x 16"<br />
* Maximum engravable area: 9.5" x 14.5"<br />
* Maximum material thickness: 2.75"<br />
* CO2 Laser Wavelength: 10.6um<br />
* Maximum Laser Power: 40W<br />

<div>==Introduction==<br />
'''LCD display''' <br />
<br />
<br />
==Components Needed==<br />
*Freeduino or Arduino or clone<br />
*USB cable for Freeduino<br />
*Freeduino development software - [http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software download here!]<br />
*Solderless Breadboard<br />
*Hookup wire 22gauge solid<br />
*LCD display<br />
*Potentiometer<br />
<br />
==How to==<br />
<br />
There are 16 pins on the LCD numbered 1 to 16 going left to right in the breadboard picture shown below. The 5V pin on the arduino supplies the power for the backlight and the logic of the LCD display. In the breadboard picture all the wires that carry 5V are red and all the wires connected to ground are black.<br />
<br />
===Step 1=== <br />
Connect 5V and ground from the adruino to the power bus on the breadboard. <br />
<br />
The upper two rows in the breadboard form the power bus. All the holes on the first row are connected together under the board. Likewise, all the holes on the second row are connected together under the board. Connect the +5V pin of the arduino to the upper row and the ground pin of the arduino to the second row.<br />
<br />
===Step 2===<br />
Supply power to the LCD's backlight.<br />
<br />
The backlight gets power on pins 15 and 16 of the LCD. Pin 15 goes to 5V and pin 16 goes to ground.<br />
<br />
===Step 3=== <br />
Connect the contrast circuit.<br />
<br />
The contrast of the LCD can be adjusted by varying the voltage on pin 3. We'll use a potentiometer to provide the voltage. The left and right pins of the potentiometer go to 5V and ground respectively. The middle pin of the potentiometer is connected to pin 3 of the LCD. When the knob of the potentiometer is moved the voltage on the middle pin, and this pin 3 of the LCD, varies between 0V and 5V.<br />
<br />
===Step 4===<br />
Provide power to the LCD's logic circuit.<br />
<br />
The logic circuits of the LCD get their own power connections on pins 1 and 2. Pin 1 gets connected to ground and pin 2 gets connected to 5V.<br />
<br />
===Step 5===<br />
Test.<br />
<br />
Plug the arduino into the USB and you should see the backlight on the LCD come on. Turn the potentiometer to left and right and verify that the contrast changes. If it doesn't work check your wiring. Make sure the everything is connected to the correct pins.<br />
<br />
===Step 6===<br />
Make the data connections.<br />
<br />
There are 3 control pins on the LCD: RS, EN, RW and 4 data pins: D4, D5, D6, D7. <br />
Commands and characters are written to the LCD via the data pins. RS tell the LCD whether the data being sent is a character or a control command. EN tells the LCD that data is ready for reading. RW tells the LCD whether we want to write data to it or read data from it. Since we will always be writing data we don't have to hook the RW pin to the arduino. We simply hook it to ground.<br />
<br />
Here are the pins and their functions:<br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="3"<br />

|-<br />
! Function<br />
| RS || RW || EN || D4 || D5 || D6 || D7<br />
|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
RW is hooked to the ground. Each of the other 6 LCD pins get connected to a digital pin on the arduino according to this table<br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="3"<br />

<br />

<br />
// initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins<br />
LiquidCrystal lcd(7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12);<br />
<br />
void setup() {<br />
// set up the LCD's number of rows and columns: <br />
lcd.begin(16, 2);<br />
// Print a message to the LCD.<br />
lcd.print("hello, world!");<br />
}<br />
<br />
void loop() {<br />
// set the cursor to column 0, line 1<br />
// (note: line 1 is the second row, since counting begins with 0):<br />
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);<br />
// print the number of seconds since reset:<br />
lcd.print(millis()/1000);<br />
}<br />

'''LCD display''' <br />
<br />
<br />
==Components Needed==<br />
*Freeduino or Arduino or clone<br />
*USB cable for Freeduino<br />
*Freeduino development software - [http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software download here!]<br />
*Solderless Breadboard<br />
*Hookup wire 22gauge solid<br />
*LCD display<br />
*Potentiometer<br />
<br />
==How to==<br />
<br />
There are 16 pins on the LCD numbered 1 to 16 going left to right in the breadboard picture shown below. The 5V pin on the arduino supplies the power for the backlight and the logic of the LCD display. In the breadboard picture all the wires that carry 5V are red and all the wires connected to ground are black.<br />
<br />
===Step 1=== <br />
Connect 5V and ground from the adruino to the power bus on the breadboard. <br />
<br />
The upper two rows in the breadboard form the power bus. All the holes on the first row are connected together under the board. Likewise, all the holes on the second row are connected together under the board. Connect the +5V pin of the arduino to the upper row and the ground pin of the arduino to the second row.<br />
<br />
===Step 2===<br />
Supply power to the LCD's backlight.<br />
<br />
The backlight gets power on pins 15 and 16 of the LCD. Pin 15 goes to 5V and pin 16 goes to ground.<br />
<br />
===Step 3=== <br />
Connect the contrast circuit.<br />
<br />
The contrast of the LCD can be adjusted by varying the voltage on pin 3. We'll use a potentiometer to provide the voltage. The left and right pins of the potentiometer go to 5V and ground respectively. The middle pin of the potentiometer is connected to pin 3 of the LCD. When the knob of the potentiometer is moved the voltage on the middle pin, and this pin 3 of the LCD, varies between 0V and 5V.<br />
<br />
===Step 4===<br />
Provide power to the LCD's logic circuit.<br />
<br />
The logic circuits of the LCD get their own power connections on pins 1 and 2. Pin 1 gets connected to ground and pin 2 gets connected to 5V.<br />
<br />
===Step 5===<br />
Test.<br />
<br />
Plug the arduino into the USB and you should see the backlight on the LCD come on. Turn the potentiometer to left and right and verify that the contrast changes. If it doesn't work check your wiring. Make sure the everything is connected to the correct pins.<br />
<br />
===Step 6===<br />
Make the data connections.<br />
<br />
There are 3 control pins on the LCD: RS, EN, RW and 4 data pins: D4, D5, D6, D7. <br />
Commands and characters are written to the LCD via the data pins. RS tell the LCD whether the data being sent is a character or a control command. EN tells the LCD that data is ready for reading. RW tells the LCD whether we want to write data to it or read data from it. Since we will always be writing data we don't have to hook the RW pin to the arduino. We simply hook it to ground.<br />
<br />

'''LCD display''' <br />
<br />
<br />
==Components Needed==<br />
*Freeduino or Arduino or clone<br />
*USB cable for Freeduino<br />
*Freeduino development software - [http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software download here!]<br />
*Solderless Breadboard<br />
*Hookup wire 22gauge solid<br />
*LCD display<br />
*Potentiometer<br />
<br />
==How to==<br />
<br />
There are 16 pins on the LCD numbered 1 to 16 going left to right in the breadboard picture shown below. The 5V pin on the arduino supplies the power for the backlight and the logic of the LCD display. In the breadboard picture all the wires that carry 5V are red and all the wires connected to ground are black.<br />
<br />
===Step 1=== <br />
Connect 5V and ground from the adruino to the power bus on the breadboard. <br />
<br />
The upper two rows in the breadboard form the power bus. All the holes on the first row are connected together under the board. Likewise, all the holes on the second row are connected together under the board. Connect the +5V pin of the arduino to the upper row and the ground pin of the arduino to the second row.<br />
<br />
===Step 2===<br />
Supply power to the LCD's backlight.<br />
<br />
The backlight gets power on pins 15 and 16 of the LCD. Pin 15 goes to 5V and pin 16 goes to ground.<br />
<br />
===Step 3=== <br />
Connect the contrast circuit.<br />
<br />
The contrast of the LCD can be adjusted by varying the voltage on pin 3. We'll use a potentiometer to provide the voltage. The left and right pins of the potentiometer go to 5V and ground respectively. The middle pin of the potentiometer is connected to pin 3 of the LCD. When the knob of the potentiometer is moved the voltage on the middle pin, and this pin 3 of the LCD, varies between 0V and 5V.<br />
<br />
===Step 4===<br />
Provide power to the LCD's logic circuit.<br />
<br />
The logic circuits of the LCD get their own power connections on pins 1 and 2. Pin 1 gets connected to ground and pin 2 gets connected to 5V.<br />
<br />
===Step 5===<br />
Test.<br />
<br />
Plug the arduino into the USB and you should see the backlight on the LCD come on. Turn the potentiometer to left and right and verify that the contrast changes. If it doesn't work check your wiring. Make sure the everything is connected to the correct pins.<br />
<br />
===Step 6===<br />
Make the data connections.<br />
<br />
There are 3 control pins on the LCD: RS, EN, RW and 4 data pins: D4, D5, D6, D7. <br />
Commands and characters are written to the LCD via the data pins. RS tell the LCD whether the data being sent is a character or a control command. EN tells the LCD that data is ready for reading. RW tells the LCD whether we want to write data to it or read data from it. Since we will always be writing data we don't have to hook the RW pin to the arduino. We simply hook it to ground.<br />
<br />

<br />
RW is hooked to the ground. Each of the other 6 LCD pins get connected to a digital pin on the arduino according to this table<br />

This wiki is for organizing our dream of creating a HackerSpace (Makerspace) in Louisville, Kentucky. If you do not know, a HackerSpace is a place where like-minded people can work on cool projects. It is community where you can learn to solder, work on some programming, build with wood or metal and collaborate with other engineers, artists, geeks and propeller-heads. We want this to be a fun place, but we also want it to be a place to work and learn.<br />
<br />
The idea for this comes from the many HackerSpaces in Germany, Austria, New York, San Fransisco and others. It also was inspired by our trip last year to MakerFaire in San Mateo, California.<br />
<br />
If this sounds like something you might like to be part of, please read up on this wiki (especially our [[Vision]] section) and join in the discussion.<br />
