Electronic Tools
Hardware Tools
Voodoo Chicken Machine
Specs & Documentation
- Model: Automata Eva
- Documentation: Eva Docs
- Gripping Tool: Schunk EGP 50-N-N-B
Usage
Connectivity
The WebUI is accessible either through
- its own Access Point, SSID "Eva-Playful Lima Dancer"
or
- statically assigned IP on its Ethernet interface
Caveats
- collision detection can fire due to vibrations when Eva isn't properly attached to the ground
- make sure to configure the size of the attached tool in Choreograph to prevent collisions
- ensure the READY LED on the Schunk gripper is solid green, otherwise reboot Eva
2D Printers
HP LaserJet
- Location MechArtLab window sill
- Model HP LaserJet 3015P
- Purpose Printing two-dimensional objects in black & white
- URL ipp://npi0e1641.local/ (IPP) or socket://npi0e1641.local:9100 (JetDirect)
- Toner HP 55A (CE255A)
Stikka Printa
- Location Table near DigiGes entrance
- Model Brother QL550, Raspberry Pi 3B
- Purpose Printing sticky labels in black & white
- Features Label & sticker printing, generating QR code labels etc. Full feature set: README
- Options Transparent or non-transparent [white | pink] sticker rolls of 62mm width
- URL http://raspi-stikka.init5.ch:8980/ * accessible within "Bitwäscherei-Bau" network
Caveats
- The paper labels don't come off easily. After peeling off parts of it, you might have to use a solvent or duct tape to completely remove the remains.
Changing supplies
- Open the cover
- Pull orange lever up
- Remove previous roll
- Insert new roll
- Feed new roll through front feeder
- Push orange lever back down
- Close cover
Debugging
- The software sometimes chokes on large, high-frequency print jobs, and no more stikkas are coming through. In that case, the easiest is to briefly power-cycle the Raspberry controlling Stikka Printa.
- If Stikka Printa isn't accessible on the known URL, the Raspberry controlling it might not be turned on, could have gotten a new IP from DHCP, or init5.ch DNS could be broken. Start by ensuring both the Raspberry and Brother QL550 are turned on, and scanning the BW network range for port 8980 using something like: nmap -sS -p 8980 --open -oG - 10.168.0.0/24. Once recovered, please print a new QR label in case the URL has changed, and update the link in this Wiki 🙏
Software
- If you'd like to add or improving a feature, the Stikka Printa source code can be found on GitHub
- To access Stikka Printa via SSH, use l: dusjagr p: clubmate42
3D Printers Tools and Instructions

Other resources
Currently a MicroDelta printer is installed, use the page linked to get started.
Design: Download Sketchup from http://www.sketchup.com/ => Design => Export .STL
Slice: Download Cura from http://software.ultimaker.com/ => Load .STL => Prepare => Write .GCODE to SD card
Print: Insert SD card into Ultimaker => Push, Scroll to Card => Select .GCODE => Push
Share: Upload model and .STL (but not .GCODE) to http://thingiverse.com/
First time? Ask @tamberg.
ORTUR Laser Master 2
The attached computer has already LightBurn installed, it's the best software to use many different laser machines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLhbvwq_EDc
You find drivers and firmware updates here: https://ortur.tech/olm2/
Hackaday wrote a few articles on mods and improvements, aswell as a nice discussion on open source hardware around the ORTUR company: https://hackaday.com/tag/ortur/

PCB Etching
Instructions on how to use the PCB etching facility can be found under PCB Etching.
Instructions for Mask design and print for custom PCBs.
Oven for Reflow and PDMS
There is a temperature sensor in the oven connected to an arduino that can be read through serial terminal. At the moment the sensor is mounted at the wrong position and shows around 40° less than the real temperature in the moddle of the oven. more about the code and connection of the temperature sensor is documented.
