== Voluntary Discipline Agreement ==

This is a DRAFT of a voluntary, mutually-enforced, non-hierarchical, perpetually evolving discipline agreement. In other words, signators of this agreement are not doing so under coercion or requirement by Pumpingstation:One; signers agree to rights and responsibilities that is up to them to enforce and carry out; there is no hierarchical structure created or allowed within the signators of the agreement; and the Discipline is a generalized set of ideals and algorithms, with much room for interpretation, that will be continually improved by the signators.

=== Terminology ===

=== Principles of Design ===

=== Principles of Rights ===
All members should adhere to the principles prescribed within these 3 guidelines:
::0. PS:One should function as described in the Bylaws.
::1. Everyone has the right to personal autonomy, unless this interferes with #0.
::2. Everyone is free to do as they please, unless this interferes with #0 or #1.
Members that find dispute with another member's interpretation of these guidelines may invoke a conflict resolution process described below.

=== Conflict Resolution Procedure ===
When interpersonal or inter-group conflicts arise that cannot be resolved by the conflicting parties themselves through civil discussion, the following steps should be taken:
==== Dialog ====
===== Summary =====
The best way to enter dialog is to start with assertive declarations of intent, without assuming that you or the other party is any more "right." Through dialog, you should explore the reasons for each of your viewpoints, while avoiding [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_fallacy logical fallacies]. Pointing out the logical fallacy in the other's argument is perfectly reasonable discourse. Having the logical fallacies in your own argument pointed out should not be treated as a personal attack and if the argument holds, you should accept this, and move on to the next points or set of arguments.

The key of successful dialog is to listen and consider other viewpoints with as much attention as you would have the other pay attention to your viewpoint. Resolving dialogs is often a matter of parties identifying an underlying conflict not rooted in personal motives, and coming up with a mutually satisfactory solution. When there is no clear underlying problem, it may be neceessary to compromise.
===== Procedure =====
:: The parties in conflict discuss the issue in a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialog dialog].
:::IF parties do not reach a mutual conclusion (i.e. to "agree to disagree" or other such termination of the conflict) within a reasonable amount of time, to the satisfaction of both parties
::::THEN they should seek out the counsel of another person, and enter [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediation mediation].
::::ELSEthe dispute shall be considered resolved, concluded, tabled, or otherwise terminated.

==== Mediation ====
===== Summary =====
===== Procedure =====
::IF the conditions of the settlement are not reached
:::THEN IF two of the three parties involved want to escalate the matter
::::THEN the matter is taken into the arbitration process.
::::ELSE another mediator may be asked to substitute or assist the original mediator.
:::ELSE the matter is considered closed and the mediator should see to it that the terms of the settlement are observed.

==== Arbitration ====
==== Forum ====

Theremin

2009-12-15T06:57:45Z

Psone-webmaster: 10 revisions

[[Category:Member Projects]]
== Concept ==
A theremin is an electronic instrument, first invented by Lev Termen in the early 1900s. It is a musical instrument that you don't touch while playing it. The typical theremin is played by waving the hands in the fields of two antennas: one that controls pitch, and one that controls volume. However, there are some theremins that have volume knobs or no volume control whatsoever, and only a pitch antenna.

There are some performers who play theremin in bands and concerts, although they're even more popular among electronics hobbyists. There are two routes one can take in building a theremin: purchasing a kit from a manufacturer and putting it together, or buying all of the parts at an electronics store, etching your own circuit boards, and making it yourself.

For more information on theremins, there is a lot of interesting reading on [http://www.thereminworld.com theremin world] and [http://www.thereminvox.com theremin vox].

== Directions and Plans ==

====Theremax Kit====

i ended up ordering a [http://paia.com/theremax.asp paia theremax kit], and it's in the mail. i don't have to etch my own circuit board or design my own circuits, which is good for a relative electronics newbie like me. the advantage to this kit is that i do have to solder the entire thing together, and consider what, if any, modifications i want to make to it. i ordered the package containing [http://paia.com/proddetail.asp?prod=9505KFPA the electronics, the antennas, and the front panel], and intend to build my own case for it.

my theremin parts have arrived, and i am in the process of building it! hopefully i will be finished in time to bring the completed Theremin to the PS:One meeting on March 24, 2009.

====Other Links====
* there is [http://www.oldtemecula.com/theremin/rs-illusion/index.htm a set of plans] for making a theremin from scratch. it uses a pitch antenna, and an optical volume control (as opposed to a traditional antenna-based volume control).
* [http://thereminworld.com/schematics.asp theremin world] also has a schematics page.

A group for building an arcade machine to run [http://www.stepmania.com/ StepMania] (an open source ''Dance Dance Revolution'' clone).

== Project Notes ==

This sounds like a project we should start when we have a space, so we have a place to put it. I suggest making or ordering metal dance pads and not using the soft ones. I have a soft pad for Pump It Up at home, and it sucks. It's hard to tell where the squares are, whereas on a metal dance pad your foot can feel whether it's on the sensor zone or not.

There is information about making dance pads, and lots of links for how to make them, [http://www.stepmania.com/wiki/Build_your_own_dance_pads here].

I (Tom) actually own a metal Cobalt Flux pad that I haven't really used since moving to Chicagoland (since we're on the second floor, and don't want to drive the neighbors mad).

Software Defined Radio

2009-12-15T06:57:42Z

Psone-webmaster: 2 revisions

[[Category:Member Projects]]
A project to explore the creation of and applications for Software Defined Radios, which allow you to receive any radio frequency and interpret the data using software -- basically a universal radio device

==Introduction==
Most Radio Frequency (RF) devices utilize specialized hardware circuits (RF frontends) to filter out unwanted frequencies & noise, and to decode & interpret the signal. Different frequencies (e.g 915MHz, 2.4GHz) require different types of antennas and circuits for optimal efficiency. Different modulation techniques (e.g. AM, FM, CDMA) require different algorithms (implemented in hardware or software) to decode. 

A Software Defined Radio (SDR) is an RF device that can be programmed to receive any frequency within a large range. This is usually accomplished by using multiple antennas connected to multiple RF frontends, connected to a very sensitive digital capture device that is controlled by a computer or FPGA. Software on the computer can demodulate the signal and follow the Media Access Control (MAC) protocol (if any) using programmed algorithms.

==Implementation & Scratchpad==
This section lists work-in-progress notes regarding implementation of SDRs 
'''RF Frontend Options'''
* A cable modem tuner module can capture 6.5MHz (IF bandwidth; limited by internal SAW filter?) centered at any frequency in the range 50MHz-890MHz (RF bandwidth)
* AC97 soundcard codec + narrow band downconverter

==Part Research==
No research done yet, just collected some mentioned hardware from some links as an example 
'''Tuners'''
WiNRADIO WR-G526e (20-3000Mhz) tuner/down-converter; $6000 used somewhere
Sharp BS2S7HZ1204 (950 to 2150MHz, 10 to 30MHz IF bandwidth (I/Q))
Sharp BS2S7VZ1302 (950 to 2150MHz, 10 to 30MHz IF bandwidth)
Sharp VA1S1ED5056 (143 to 862MHz, 7 or 8 MHz IF bandwidth)
'''Sample Devices (ADCs)'''
Analog Devices AD6645: 80Msps at 14 bits, and is capable of bandpass (aka direct IF) sampling
Measurement Computing ADC card (20Msps): $1300
'''Radio Scanners'''
Yaesu VR-5000 (+- 100kHz IF bandwidth): ~ 500-600 EUR
AOR AR3000A (IF bandwith unknown): 780 EUR
AOR AR8600MK2 (IF bandwith +- 2 MHz): 710 EUR
AOR AR5000A (IF bandwith +- 5MHz): 1600EUR

Screen Printing Workshop first test

2009-12-15T06:57:30Z

Psone-webmaster: 5 revisions

[[Category:Member Projects]]
== Intro ==

On February 18, 2009 I made my first attempt at creating a screen using Diazo photo emulsion from Speedball. Details to follow. --[[User:Nathaner|Nathan]]

== Preparation ==

=== Materials: ===
* Lightbox (with 6 20 watt daylight fluorescent bulbs, distance from screen: ~7"
* 12"x10" Dick Blick screen #94708 (upc:651032 947087)
* Speedball Diazo photo emulsion kit
* Speedball 10" squeegee
* NOTE: It would have been good to invest in a scoop coater as well
* Flat, heavy materials. I went with ''Flash MX Bible'', ''Visual Basic 6 Black Book'', ''SAMS Visual C++ 6'', ''SAMS Teach Yourself LAMP'' & ''Basic Electronics'' text book.
* Clothes you're not worried about ruining
* Patience

== Application ==

* Diazo photo emulsion kit requires mixing sensitizer (Black) into the base emulsion (Blue) to activate. Do so and mix vigorously (Resulting mixture turns green.)
** Directions state emulsion can last for up to 4 months when stored in refrigerator.
* Carefully applied emulsion to both sides of screen with Speedball squeegee. This is where I could have made less mess with a scoop coater.
* After checking that both sides were coated as evenly as possible I '''IMMEDIATELY''' took the screen to dry in a dark arrid place. In my case I used my oven (no heat necessary). According to instructions, dry the screen with the flat side down, but elevated.
** screen appeared to be perfectly dry in 1 hour, could have gone with 45 minutes probably.
* Do not expose screen to light until you are ready for printing. This is why I need to build a drying box.

== Exposure ==

* I burned the screen for 15 minutes, checked it, uneducated guess is that it needs more time to expose. Check again in 15 more minutes. (10:34 PM)
** Now is a good time to note that I should have attached my positive to the screen so when I checked it the alignment wouldn't get messed up.
* I decided to let it stay for another 30 that way if it overexposed I would have a high point of reference. From what little experience I have it doesn't seem to have changed much. The emulsion basically just gets ''slightly'' more transparent.
* After 45 minutes I pulled the screen off the light and washed out the print areas with my high pressure spray nozzle. It takes a minute or two for the areas to start clearing out (I was worried) but then slowly they will empty out.
* Letting screen dry completely will I prepare my kitchen table for test prints.

== Result ==

[http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3503/3292457236_d59f36e353.jpg?v=0 My first custom shirt] 
[http://flickr.com/photos/nathaner/tags/screenprintingtest/ Full set on Flickr]

Came out way better than I could have imagined. Only a few things to note: 
* The color blends into shirt fabric too much. This isn't so bad on light colored shirts, but on dark/black it's nearly impossible to see. I'll have to research further on types of ink to use (went with water solvable for this attempt) and step up to multi-color prints at some point.
* A finer screen mesh, which could be a little more expensive, would yield better results on firmer surfaces like paper.
* DEFINITELY need to learn how to stretch my own screens for saving cost.
* For future screen burns, I'm thinking of incorporating some kind of test pattern in the corner or my screens that I will mask off at printing time. This will make it easier to check the progress of exposure without compromising the artwork.

'''AKA: Danger Committee / Men Without Hats'''

== Project Goals ==
The goal of this project is to create a NonCommercial, Share Alike, Attribution Creative Commons-Licensed safety training program for Pumping Station: One.

The goal for the training program is to create a safety program that:
# is easy to implement, with as little paperwork as possible
# meets or exceeds government standards for occupational health

== Project Outline ==

Training will consist of:
* General Training: Required for all members before entering the space. Consists of an hour of class, with testing.
* Tool- or area- specific training: Required to gain access to specific areas or equipment in PS1. Consists of training, (optional/variable, depending on the tool) several hours of practice under supervision of an experienced operator, and testing.

Paperwork will consists of:
Signed liability release forms for all members.
Qualification records for general and specific training.
MSDS records for all chemicals in PS1.

== General Training Outline ==

* Pressurized cylinders
* Laser Safety
* Hearing
* Vision
* Feet/legs
* Hands
* Chemical Spill Procedures
* General Chemical Safety (MSDS, protective gear, etc)
* Fire

== Specific Training Areas ==

* Electronics Lab (covers basic electrical safety, how to use O-scope, solder, use a multimeter, etc)
* Machine Shop (covers basic hand and power tools, drill press, grinder, sanders, safety)
* Welding
* Lasers
* Lathe
*

[[Category:Interest Groups]]
Reverse Engineering (RE, RevEng) is the process of discovering the technological principles of a system through analysis of its structure and function [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_engineering]. 

If you enjoy taking things apart and discovering how they work, this group is for you!
__TOC__
==Introduction & Focus==
This is an interest group dedicated to the reverse engineering of any designed/engineered system, such as:
* electronics hardware
* embedded firmware
* computer software
* protocols
* file formats
* mechanical systems
* etc...

This interest will be supported through projects, as well as the study & documentation of reverse engineering methodology, the creation of R.E. tools, etc. Involvement may include exploratory projects, which are solely done for practicing reverse engineering, as well as assisting in other projects where reverse engineering is used.

If you have a project that involves reverse engineering, we're probably interested in helping out!
