<br />
=== Strategy Workshop Results ===<br />
* POC: Charlie OBO<br />
* Full results of [[Strategy_Session_20140810 | 8/10 Strategy Workshops]] are on the wiki<br />
* Here are the topics and the action plans:<br />
<br />
==== Stalled Projects ====<br />
*Develop a project information template Ted H 19 Aug 2014<br />
*Review and get buy-in on the form from membership Ted H 20 Aug 2014<br />
<br />
====Clutter and Messes ====<br />
*Investigate and create a proposal to bring before the Board for cleaning services Terry W Sept Board mtg<br />
<br />
====Certification and Training ====<br />
*Email Zone Wardens with recommendations Konrad B 30 Sept 2014<br />
*Organize ZW training at least once a year or when new wardens are appointed Terry W, Greg S, Matt A<br />
* Look into options for tool enabling system. Konrad B 31 Oct 2014<br />
* Email ZWs about “Where does this go?” box training for members and wardens.Terry W (After first Warden mtg.)<br />
<br />
==== Member Involvement ====<br />
* Ping zone wardens before each meeting, asking for updates Nate B 19 Aug 2014<br />
* Add “Meet a Zone Warden” to the new-member process, talk about what their week is like and how members, including this one, can get involved. Talk to Max and Jon, update the forms, and talk about further ways to bring new members into greater involvement in the zone(s) they care most about.Nate B 26 Aug 2014<br />
*Secretary talk to membership coordinators about how to quantify member involvement.Jamie 19 Aug 2014<br />
* Ongoing consideration as the new keypad system is written.<br />
<br />
==== Gage Parking ====<br />
* Went to Gage and talked to their Controller Fred Lenz. There has been some problems with business hour parking in the Gage lot, so new signs went up and security policing.<br />
* I3 can park in Gage street lot (other than Handicap) from 5PM-6AM M-F, all Weekends, IF we police the area for no non-Gage parking during business hours. If you see someone there who is i3, tell them they have to move. If you see BNektar parkers there, go tell BNektar. I have talked to Rob Zograph at BNektar, and they require their employees NOT to park in Gage lot before 5PM. If you see a BNektar car there, let BNektar know and they will get it moved.<br />
* Gage is happy to let i3 park there at night, unless the daytime parking problems don't go away. If the problems persist, we will lose the evening parking.<br />
<br />
==== Deadbolt Added to Adjoining Door to B Nektar ====<br />
* Point of contact: [[User:kmbrown314|Konrad B]]<br />
* What to do with keys?<br />
<br />
==Zone updates==<br />
===Bike Zone===<br />
<br />
===CNC Zone===<br />
*Open CNC night this Thursday<br />
<br />
===Compute Zone===<br />
<br />
===Craft Room===<br />
* No flood damage. (And the floor's clean for once!)<br />
* Casting zone: Open with a few basics. Will be augmenting in coming months. Feedback is vital.<br />
<br />
===E Lab===<br />
* HIGHLIGHTS:<br />
* We made it through the flood unscathed (phew!), thanks everyone who moved things off the floor just in case!<br />
* Lots of new components, all known requests have been answered<br />
* LOWLIGHTS:<br />
* Test leads are constantly scrambled, which makes it hard to find them while working, and makes it difficult to tell when they've gone missing. I'd like to make a "this is an alligator, this is a banana" poster.<br />
* REQUEST FOR INVOLVEMENT:<br />
* Would any newbies like to help make that poster? I'll help as much as needed, but I'll feel better about that labor if someone else is learning directly from it.<br />
* Also the new oscilloscope still needs a wiki page. Another opportunity for someone to learn both wiki markup and a bit about test equipment! See Nate B after the meeting?<br />
* Also there's a bit of e-lab-related stuff on the potlock todo list, but that's for another topic on the agenda!<br />
<br />
===Fab Lab===<br />
*Hilights:<br />
**Survived flood with no damage apparent whatsoever.<br />
*Lowlights:<br />
**Major incident with Rostock MAX<br />
***Thermal runaway caused by thermocouple falling out of hotend<br />
***Melted PEEK barrel<br />

***Machine is now training-required for both operation and for maintenance<br />
***Largest concern is that no notice to the warden was received until much later by a third party<br />
**Food containers and trash not ending up in trash can<br />
**Random sticky crap on counter<br />
*Request for involvement:<br />
**Please try to wipe down counter with cleaner if you spill something<br />
**Please use (and empty!) trash can<br />
**Please '''report''' any equipment incidents<br />
**Oven needs a wiki page<br />
**New QR code tags for all machines with new pretty links<br />
***Printed and laminated at least<br />
***Laser-engraved with black paint like the current one on the laser would be nice<br />
<br />
===Kiln Zone===<br />
*Status:<br />
**Glass Kiln and Ceramic Kiln 100% UP in July Porcelain Kiln down in July.<br />
**VacuuForm now an official tool of the Kiln Zone. Materials have been bought for VF, available in KZ. $2/sq ft.<br />

<br />
===Vinyl Zone===<br />
<br />
===Welding Zone===<br />
;The good:<br />
:The board approved a sizeable chunk of change for a new MIG welder and a new manual plasma torch. We're in final research stage, and should have the new machines ordered/purchased in the next couple days.<br />
<br />
;The bad: <br />
:There have been several instances of people not cleaning up after themselves. This includes not sweeping up dust, not cleaning spatter off the table, and not putting scrap where it belongs (good usable in bins under table, unusable in scrap bin in metal shop). Please remember to allot cleanup time in your schedule.<br />
<br />
;The ugly:<br />
:Organization is still lacking. Do we have anybody with an anal retentive streak and some availability who'd like to try and help us whip this zone into shape?<br />
<br />
===Wood Shop===<br />
* Greg New tool help moving<br />
* Greg - Revisions to training procedure, Need trainers<br />

------- Work in Procress -------<br />
<br />
==FAQ==<br />
===What types of files does the CNC support?===<br />
The CNC itself only takes G-Code from a generic text file. These need to be transferred to the machine via a serial link.<br />
<br />
===What are the Pallet Changer locations?===<br />
#The following locations line up the HAAS table with the pallet changer. Since the pallet changer can hold two pallets there are two possible positions.<br />
#*The West location (closest to the operator) is at X-40.00 Y-0.11 using absolute machine coordinates.<br />
#*The East location (closest to the back wall) is at X-40.00 Y-19.88 using absolute machine coordinates.<br />

===What is the procedure to exchange pallets on the HAAS?===<br />
#WARNING #1: If, at any time, the pallet changer is NOT doing what you want, quickly push the ESTOP on the pallet changer. The ESTOP will VERY QUICKLY dump the pneumatic air pressure to deactivate the pallet changer. There are two ESTOP buttons on the pallet changer - make sure you know where they are before operating the pallet changer!<br />
#WARNING #2: Make absolutely sure you know which load / unload location the HAAS is aligned with. As an example, it is VERY EASY to have the HAAS aligned with location #2 and push a pallet off location #1. The pallet will fall inside the machine and is VERY DIFFICULT to lift back into place. You HAVE BEEN WARNED.<br />
#NOTE, inside the HAAS, the pallet rests on a part called a ''receiver''. The receiver locates and locks the pallet into position on the HAAS bed. The receiver operates using pneumatic air pressure which is supplied from the pallet changer.<br />
#*Aligned the HAAS table with the pallet changer where the pallet is to be stored. The HAAS machine coordinates are listed in the FAQ above.<br />
#*Plug the 110Vac electrical cord from the pallet changer into an open outlet.<br />
#*Using the pallet changer's control panel, set the "DOOR OPEN" to "ON" to open the sliding window / door.<br />
#*Next, set "UNCLAMP" to "ON" to use pneumatic air pressure to unlock and raise the pallet in the HAAS.<br />
#**If the pallet does nice raise evenly, use the 4x4 stick to ''nudge'' the pallet to raise.<br />
#*Extend the rails from the pallet changer by setting either "EXT #1" or "EXT #2" to "ON" depending on which location the HAAS is aligned with.<br />
#**Make sure you use the correct "Ext #x" here! This is where it's easy to dump a pallet inside the HAAS by accident!<br />
#*With the rails extended and the pallet raised, push the pallet off the HAAS and onto the pallet changer.<br />
#*Set "EXT #x" to "OFF" (note, nothing will happen yet). Now, set "HOME #x" to "ON" to have the rails retract. While the rails are retracting keep the pallet centered on the rails.<br />
#*Once the rails are retracted, set "HOME #x" to "OFF".<br />
#*Move the HAAS table so it now aligns with the pallet you wish to load. The HAAS machine coordinates are listed in the FAQ above.<br />
#*Set "EXT #x" to "ON" depending on which location the HAAS is aligned with. Again, be very careful which "EXT #x" you select!<br />
#*Slowly push the new pallet onto the receiver inside the HAAS.<br />
#*Once the pallet has been pushed past the end of the pallet changer's extended rails, set "EXT #x" to "OFF" and "HOME #x" to "ON".<br />
#*With the rails retracted, set "HOME #x" to "OFF".<br />
#*Now, inspect the pallet on the receiver inside the HAAS.<br />
#**Using a flashlight, check that the pallet is slid correctly so that the locater pins on the receiver will engage the locater holes in the bottom of the pallet.<br />
#*With the pallet ready to drop onto the receiver locater pins, set "UNCLAMP" to "OFF" and "CLAMP" to "ON".<br />
#**Verify the pallet drops and locks onto the receiver evenly.<br />
#*Set "CLAMP" to "OFF". Also set "DOOR OPEN" to "OFF" and "DOOR CLOSE" to "ON". With the door closed, set "DOOR CLOSE" to "OFF".<br />
#*Finally, scroll through all the menu options and make sure they are set to "OFF".<br />
#*Unplug the electrical cord from the pallet changer.<br />
#*Done<br />
<br />
===How can I transfer my G-Code file to the HAAS?===<br />
#Use TeraTerm (a free open-source serial program) to send / receive your G-Code text file(s).<br />
#*Find the USB-to-Serial converter hanging inside the HAAS rolling tool cabinet.<br />
#*Plug the USB-to-Serial converter onto the end of the grey DB-9 cable.<br />
#**Verify the other end of the cable is plugged into the back of the HAAS on Comm-1. <br />
#*Set TeraTerm to 38,400 baud, 8 bits, no parity. This is the max speed the HAAS can handle.<br />
#*Use TeraTerm's ability to handle XMODEM to either send or receive text files to your computer.<br />
#**Note, the XMODEM protocol will ensure the transfer is error free.<br />
#Setup your G-Code text file.<br />
#*On the HAAS, press "List Prog" to bring up a listing of all programs. Make sure your "O1234" program is not listed on the HAAS or you will overwrite someone's existing program.<br />
#*The G-Code text file's first and last line must be a single '%' character. This is just a requirement of the Fanuc G-Code dialect the HAAS (and most CNC machines) use.<br />
#*The second line of your text file must be in the form of "O1234 (Some Comment)" where "O" in "O1234" is the capital letter 'O' (Not a Zero) followed by a four digit number.<br />
#*The comment, which is the text inside the parenthesis, will appear next to your "O1234" program on the HAAS so pick something informative. <br />
#Transfer the File<br />
#*Using TeraTerm, select the menu option "File > Transfer > XMODEM > Send". Use the TeraTerm pop-up dialog box to select your text file on your PC.<br />
#**TeraTerm will open the file and then, using the XMODEM protocol, wait for the HAAS to respond. <br />
#*On the HAAS, after pressing "List Prog", scroll/page-down to the bottom and get the cursor highlighting the word "All". <br />
#*Press the HAAS button "RS-232 Recv.". The bottom of the HAAS display will show messages indicating percent complete as the transfer takes place.<br />
#**The HAAS message might just be a flash if the program is short. <br />
#Verify the transfer.<br />
#*After the transfer is complete the HAAS places an "*" in front of the new "O1234" program name indicating it is the selected active program. <br />
#*Press "Edit" to open the file on the HAAS for inspection. <br />
<br />
A couple of notes, TeraTerm is already loaded on the [[Design Workstation]] near the HAAS. Using a thumb drive, you can use copy your G-Code file to the [[Design Workstation]] for xfer to the HAAS. The [[Design Workstation]] is also connected to the internet so you can use some internet cloud storage (think Dropbox) instead of a thumb drive.<br />

===How do I set the offset for my tool lengths?===<br />
#Decide on a tool number. The quickest and easiest way is to find an open slot in the tool changer.<br />
#Press the "MDI" button. With '''NO''' tool loaded in the spindle, enter "T5" (assuming your using tool #5).<br />
#*With "T5" entered on the bottom of the MDI screen, press the button "ATC FWD".<br />
#**The HAAS will perform a tool change to tool #5.<br />
#**Note, if the HAAS was just powered up it will first home the tool changer to T1. Just enter "T5"/"ATC FWD" again and the HAAS will tool change to #5.<br />
#Enter the following couple of line in the MDI window.<br />
#*"G43 H05 (Use tool offsets / Select Tool #5);"<br />
#*"M00 (Stop / Pause);"<br />
#Press the "Home" key to jump the cursor to the top right corner on the MDI screen.<br />
#Press the large green "Cycle Start" button.<br />
#*There might be a slight delay as the coolant nozzle moves to the correct position.<br />
#*After the two line program stops, press the "POSIT" button. Look in the upper right corner for G54 locations.<br />
#Press the "Handle Jog" button to start jogging the machine.<br />
#Load your tool #5 in the spindle at this point.<br />
#Press one of the axis buttons to select jogging on that axis.<br />
#*Press the ".01" button for medium jogging speed.<br />
#Jog your tool so that it is just touching the top of the work surface.<br />
#*Note, there is a piece of brass shim stock that can be inserted between the tool tip and the work surface.<br />
#*The brass shim stock is machined to be 0.0015" thick.<br />
#*As the tool is lowered, wiggle the shim until the tool just sticks and stop the shim from wiggling.<br />
#Press the "Offset" button and move the cursor to tool #5's row.<br />
#*Might have to use a combo of page up/down and cursor keys to get to the right screen and row.<br />
#With the cursor on row #5 and the field under the "Geometry" column highlighted, press the "Tool Ofset Mesur" button.<br />
#*Pressing this button will overwrite the current setting with the current Z axis value.<br />
#Adjust for the 0.0015 shim by typing "-0.0015" and then pressing the "Write" button.<br />
#*The value in the "Geometry" field will adjust down by 0.0015 inches.<br />
#The tool length for #5 is now set.<br />
#*Press the "MDI" button again and then press "Home" and "Cycle Start" again.<br />
#**This set get the machine to reset to the new G54 coordinate values.<br />
#*Press the "POSIT" button and notice the G54 locations are now set to your tool.<br />
#Done.<br />
<br />
===How do I generate G-Code for the CNC?===<br />
There are a couple of different ways.<br />
#Create a text file with the appropriate G & M Codes. <br />
#*There is a program reference guide on the shelves back by the machine.<br />
#Use a wizard to create the g-code for you.<br />
#*There are a couple of g-code generators listed in the useful links on the main page for the [[CNC Shop]].<br />
#Use CAM software to create g-code from a 3D model. <br />
#*MasterCAM is available on the [[Design Workstation]] in the CNC area.<br />
<br />
===What tips would you give in designing a part?===<br />
Design your part with the knowledge that you will need to hold in some fashion while it is being cut. Without proper hold downs it will be very hard to cut you part accurately.</div>BrianWhttps://www.i3detroit.org/wi/index.php?title=Minutes:Meeting_Minutes_20140715&diff=7571Minutes:Meeting Minutes 201407152014-07-15T23:14:57Z<p>BrianW: /* CNC Zone */</p>

==Introductions==<br />
<br />
==Action Item Review==<br />
==== Kitchen Door at Maker Faire ====<br />
* Andrew M. - Register kitchen door iris with Maker Faire<br />
* Done<br />
<br />
==== Painting the Roses Red ====<br />
* Max - paint the switches bright so people can see them for shutdown<br />
* In progress<br />
<br />
==== New Sign ====<br />
* Greg S. - Start sign committee, check back in July (info this mtg)<br />
* Looks like we are in the 25 Square feet arena,<br />
* That is about right, i am thinking mounting it over the overhead door, biggest problem is maintaining it if out has lighting<br />
* Some thoughts:<br />
** We have a logo, and that is our Identity, if we change it much on our sign do we change it on all things ???<br />
** The sign itself can be creative, but remember it has to be maintained.<br />
<br />
==Show and Tell==<br />
<br />
==New Business==<br />
=== Replacement Secretary ===<br />
* Konrad is now president, still doing secretary but would like someone else to take it.<br />
<br />
=== Ed Resigns from Board ===<br />
* Appoint a new board member to maintain ranks, or just wait until the next election?<br />
<br />
=== Pot Lock Planning===<br />
(Nate B)<br />
* Pot lock is coming up on Saturday June 21st<br />
* List of tasks is on [[ToDo]], something for every skill level.<br />
* Could use your help encouraging newbie members to come<br />
<br />
=== July 1st Member Meeting ===<br />
* Point of Contact: [[User:kmbrown314|Konrad B]]<br />
* Will enough people be there because the 4th of July is coming up? <br />

* Konrad will be out of town.<br />
<br />
=== July 8th Board Meeting ===<br />
* Point of Contact: [[User:kmbrown314|Konrad B]]<br />
* This meeting will coincide with the launch of Red Bull Creation. <br />
* We plan to have a "ground control" crew to aid our Red Bull team with ideation.<br />
* The commons area is likely to be the best location for this and it would conflict with a Board meeting.<br />
* The board meeting should be moved to a different date or canceled.<br />
<br />
=== Integrated Space Plan ===<br />
(Nate B)<br />
* It's a cool poster we printed<br />
* They're making a new one, and a few members would like to chip in and get i3's logo put on it<br />
* No use of group funds, just asking for a thumbs-up that this would be an appropriate use of the name and logo<br />

[http://www.inkscape.org Inkscape] (with [http://www.cnc-club.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=35 Gcodetools] extension version 0.17 installed) is the primary software tool suggested to convert artwork into G-Codes. The G-Codes (a simple text file) is then loaded into LinuxCNC which controls the machine.<br />

| FAQs =<br />
<br />
A list of commonly asked questions<br />
<br />
* What are the Consumables for the machine?<br />
** Torch Tips. To-Do: Need ordering and pricing info.<br />
** Steel Support Mesh. Over time the steel support mesh gets consumed as the torch makes cuts. A new set of support steel can be fabricated on the Plasma Cutter - which is just cool.<br />
* Can the Plasma Cutter be used as a pen plotter?<br />
** Yes, there is an attachment that allows for a spring mounted marker to be used.<br />
[[File:PGear.JPG|400px|Pen Plotting Option]]<br />
* Is it hard to convert the machine over to using the pen plotter option?<br />
** No, two hex-head screws clamp the pen attachment onto the torch head. Simply turn off the power switch on the plasma control panel and your good to go. Oh, and don't forget to set the pen height using "touch off" inside LinuxCNC. Typically, the pen height, when the pen is down, is set to zero. Then, a positive 1" height is set as the "safe height".<br />
* How can I compensate for the torch kerf?<br />
** First, given a path in Inkscape that you wish to offset, make a copy using control-c / control-v. To help track the copy, change the color of the copy to red by pressing shift and click on the red color patch along the bottom of the screen. Next, align the copy exactly on top of the original. Now, with the copy selected, press control-j to turn on "Dynamic-Offset". The command is also under the "Path" menu option. Lastly, with the copy still selected, press shift-control-x to bring up the XML editor. Look for and click on "inkscape:radius" attribute. Change the value to offset * 90. As an example, a 0.125" offset would be set as (0.125 * 90), or 11.25. Note, Inkscape uses 90dpi for internal units. The copied path should now be exactly 1/8" offset from the original. The offset can also be a negative value to have the new path inset. Once the offset is set correctly, convert the "Dynamic Offset" back to a standard path by pressing shift-control-c (or menu option Path / Object-to-Path).<br />

==FAQ==<br />
===What types of files does the CNC support?===<br />
The CNC itself only takes G-Code from a generic text file. These need to be transferred to the machine via a serial link.<br />
<br />
===What are the Pallet Changer locations?===<br />
#The following locations line up the HAAS table with the pallet changer. Since the pallet changer can hold two pallets there are two possible positions.<br />
#*The West location (closest to the operator) is at X-40.00 Y-0.11 using absolute machine coordinates.<br />
#*The East location (closest to the back wall) is at X-40.00 Y-19.88 using absolute machine coordinates.<br />
<br />
===What is the procedure to exchange pallets on the HAAS?===<br />
#WARNING #1: If, at any time, the pallet changer is NOT doing what you want, quickly push the ESTOP on the pallet changer. The ESTOP will VERY QUICKLY dump the pneumatic air pressure to deactivate the pallet changer. There are two ESTOP buttons on the pallet changer - make sure you know where they are before operating the pallet changer!<br />
#WARNING #2: Make absolutely sure you know which load / unload location the HAAS is aligned with. As an example, it is VERY EASY to have the HAAS aligned with location #2 and push a pallet off location #1. The pallet will fall inside the machine and is VERY DIFFICULT to lift back into place. You HAVE BEEN WARNED.<br />
#NOTE, inside the HAAS, the pallet rests on a part called a ''receiver''. The receiver locates and locks the pallet into position on the HAAS bed. The receiver operates using pneumatic air pressure which is supplied from the pallet changer.<br />
#*Aligned the HAAS table with the pallet changer where the pallet is to be stored. The HAAS machine coordinates are listed in the FAQ above.<br />
#*Plug the 110Vac electrical cord from the pallet changer into an open outlet.<br />
#*Using the pallet changer's control panel, set the "DOOR OPEN" to "ON" to open the sliding window / door.<br />
#*Next, set "UNCLAMP" to "ON" to use pneumatic air pressure to unlock and raise the pallet in the HAAS.<br />
#**If the pallet does nice raise evenly, use the 4x4 stick to ''nudge'' the pallet to raise.<br />
#*Extend the rails from the pallet changer by setting either "EXT #1" or "EXT #2" to "ON" depending on which location the HAAS is aligned with.<br />
#**Make sure you use the correct "Ext #x" here! This is where it's easy to dump a pallet inside the HAAS by accident!<br />
#*With the rails extended and the pallet raised, push the pallet off the HAAS and onto the pallet changer.<br />
#*Set "EXT #x" to "OFF" (note, nothing will happen yet). Now, set "HOME #x" to "ON" to have the rails retract. While the rails are retracting keep the pallet centered on the rails.<br />
#*Once the rails are retracted, set "HOME #x" to "OFF".<br />
#*Move the HAAS table so it now aligns with the pallet you wish to load. The HAAS machine coordinates are listed in the FAQ above.<br />
#*Set "EXT #x" to "ON" depending on which location the HAAS is aligned with. Again, be very careful which "EXT #x" you select!<br />
#*Slowly push the new pallet onto the receiver inside the HAAS.<br />
#*Once the pallet has been pushed past the end of the pallet changer's extended rails, set "EXT #x" to "OFF" and "HOME #x" to "ON".<br />
#*With the rails retracted, set "HOME #x" to "OFF".<br />
#*Now, inspect the pallet on the receiver inside the HAAS.<br />
#**Using a flashlight, check that the pallet is slid correctly so that the locater pins on the receiver will engage the locater holes in the bottom of the pallet.<br />
#*With the pallet ready to drop onto the receiver locater pins, set "UNCLAMP" to "OFF" and "CLAMP" to "ON".<br />
#**Verify the pallet drops and locks onto the receiver evenly.<br />
#*Set "CLAMP" to "OFF". Also set "DOOR OPEN" to "OFF" and "DOOR CLOSE" to "ON". With the door closed, set "DOOR CLOSE" to "OFF".<br />
#*Finally, scroll through all the menu options and make sure they are set to "OFF".<br />
#*Unplug the electrical cord from the pallet changer.<br />
#*Done<br />
<br />
===How can I transfer my G-Code file to the HAAS?===<br />
#Use TeraTerm (a free open-source serial program) to send / receive your G-Code text file(s).<br />
#*Find the USB-to-Serial converter hanging inside the HAAS rolling tool cabinet.<br />
#*Plug the USB-to-Serial converter onto the end of the grey DB-9 cable.<br />
#**Verify the other end of the cable is plugged into the back of the HAAS on Comm-1. <br />
#*Set TeraTerm to 38,400 baud, 8 bits, no parity. This is the max speed the HAAS can handle.<br />
#*Use TeraTerm's ability to handle XMODEM to either send or receive text files to your computer.<br />
#**Note, the XMODEM protocol will ensure the transfer is error free.<br />
#Setup your G-Code text file.<br />
#*On the HAAS, press "List Prog" to bring up a listing of all programs. Make sure your "O1234" program is not listed on the HAAS or you will overwrite someone's existing program.<br />
#*The G-Code text file's first and last line must be a single '%' character. This is just a requirement of the Fanuc G-Code dialect the HAAS (and most CNC machines) use.<br />
#*The second line of your text file must be in the form of "O1234 (Some Comment)" where "O" in "O1234" is the capital letter 'O' (Not a Zero) followed by a four digit number.<br />
#*The comment, which is the text inside the parenthesis, will appear next to your "O1234" program on the HAAS so pick something informative. <br />
#Transfer the File<br />
#*Using TeraTerm, select the menu option "File > Transfer > XMODEM > Send". Use the TeraTerm pop-up dialog box to select your text file on your PC.<br />
#**TeraTerm will open the file and then, using the XMODEM protocol, wait for the HAAS to respond. <br />
#*On the HAAS, after pressing "List Prog", scroll/page-down to the bottom and get the cursor highlighting the word "All". <br />
#*Press the HAAS button "RS-232 Recv.". The bottom of the HAAS display will show messages indicating percent complete as the transfer takes place.<br />
#**The HAAS message might just be a flash if the program is short. <br />
#Verify the transfer.<br />
#*After the transfer is complete the HAAS places an "*" in front of the new "O1234" program name indicating it is the selected active program. <br />
#*Press "Edit" to open the file on the HAAS for inspection. <br />
<br />
A couple of notes, TeraTerm is already loaded on the [[Design Workstation]] near the HAAS. Using a thumb drive, you can use copy your G-Code file to the [[Design Workstation]] for xfer to the HAAS. The [[Design Workstation]] is also connected to the internet so you can use some internet cloud storage (think Dropbox) instead of a thumb drive.<br />
<br />
===How do I set the offset for my tool lengths?===<br />
#Decide on a tool number. The quickest and easiest way is to find an open slot in the tool changer.<br />
#Press the "MDI" button. With '''NO''' tool loaded in the spindle, enter "T5" (assuming your using tool #5).<br />
#*With "T5" entered on the bottom of the MDI screen, press the button "ATC FWD".<br />
#**The HAAS will perform a tool change to tool #5.<br />
#**Note, if the HAAS was just powered up it will first home the tool changer to T1. Just enter "T5"/"ATC FWD" again and the HAAS will tool change to #5.<br />
#Enter the following couple of line in the MDI window.<br />
#*"G43 H05 (Use tool offsets / Select Tool #5);"<br />
#*"M00 (Stop / Pause);"<br />
#Press the "Home" key to jump the cursor to the top right corner on the MDI screen.<br />
#Press the large green "Cycle Start" button.<br />
#*There might be a slight delay as the coolant nozzle moves to the correct position.<br />
#*After the two line program stops, press the "POSIT" button. Look in the upper right corner for G54 locations.<br />
#Press the "Handle Jog" button to start jogging the machine.<br />
#Load your tool #5 in the spindle at this point.<br />
#Press one of the axis buttons to select jogging on that axis.<br />
#*Press the ".01" button for medium jogging speed.<br />
#Jog your tool so that it is just touching the top of the work surface.<br />
#*Note, there is a piece of brass shim stock that can be inserted between the tool tip and the work surface.<br />
#*The brass shim stock is machined to be 0.0015" thick.<br />
#*As the tool is lowered, wiggle the shim until the tool just sticks and stop the shim from wiggling.<br />
#Press the "Offset" button and move the cursor to tool #5's row.<br />
#*Might have to use a combo of page up/down and cursor keys to get to the right screen and row.<br />
#With the cursor on row #5 and the field under the "Geometry" column highlighted, press the "Tool Ofset Mesur" button.<br />
#*Pressing this button will overwrite the current setting with the current Z axis value.<br />
#Adjust for the 0.0015 shim by typing "-0.0015" and then pressing the "Write" button.<br />
#*The value in the "Geometry" field will adjust down by 0.0015 inches.<br />
#The tool length for #5 is now set.<br />
#*Press the "MDI" button again and then press "Home" and "Cycle Start" again.<br />
#**This set get the machine to reset to the new G54 coordinate values.<br />
#*Press the "POSIT" button and notice the G54 locations are now set to your tool.<br />
#Done.<br />
<br />
===How do I generate G-Code for the CNC?===<br />
There are a couple of different ways.<br />
#Create a text file with the appropriate G & M Codes. <br />
#*There is a program reference guide on the shelves back by the machine.<br />
#Use a wizard to create the g-code for you.<br />
#*There are a couple of g-code generators listed in the useful links on the main page for the [[CNC Shop]].<br />
#Use CAM software to create g-code from a 3D model. <br />
#*MasterCAM is available on the [[Design Workstation]] in the CNC area.<br />

===What tips would you give in designing a part?===<br />
Design your part with the knowledge that you will need to hold in some fashion while it is being cut. Without proper hold downs it will be very hard to cut you part accurately.</div>BrianWhttps://www.i3detroit.org/wi/index.php?title=Minutes:Board_Meeting_Minutes_20140408&diff=7058Minutes:Board Meeting Minutes 201404082014-04-08T22:31:18Z<p>BrianW: /* Budget Amendment */</p>

<br />
==Action Item Review==<br />
* Justin T. - Make a financial and a membership report on 3rd Tuesday Meeting<br />
* Terry W, Jody R. - Kiln and Welding Zone Wardens figure out feasibility of large project area<br />
- Proposal for Large Project Area. Terry W<br />
<br />
Talked to all Wardens along East Wall and John Sugg (Vaccuuform) by email.<br />
Proposal is for Large Project Area to be an area from the West edge of the Welding, Plasma, Kiln, Forklift, and Injection zones to a line either 16', 17' or 18' from the East Wall. We have marked the 18' line for inspection at the meeting and decision (between 16',17', or 18')<br />
<br />
The effected wardens would require only Projects be in that area (not furniture or other Group materiel), and Projects be able to be moved (either by having wheels or being on a pallet) so that zone access is not permanently blocked.<br />
<br />
In addition, the East Wall Wardens will be making a proposal to the Board separately to shuffle the plasma cutter into the CNC Zone and slide all zones down. I also will be giving the board a proposal for expanding the width of the Kiln Zone from 5' to 8' to accommodate Ceramics use, which would be part of, or after, the shuffle.<br />

==Introductions==<br />

<br />
==New Business==<br />
<br />
*Pot Lock - Marie and Nate B - March 15<br />
<br />
* The great CRM update - Marie and Nate B<br />
<br />
* i3 Data Vault - Terry W. BTSync is new private storage for i3documents to be accessable to the members, but not to the general publid. In the ADMIN folder I have put folders for budget matters and records. In addition there is a folder for the Lease(s) and the Insurance Policy(s) for archival storage and reading. Our current insurance policy is in the i3DataVault. Our current Lease, and any utilities agreements with BNektar are not yet in the i3 DataVault. As we proceed other documents, like our Tax, State, and 501c3 filings should be in the i3DataVault.<br />
<br />
<br />
* Dues - Terry W. As my RL time is now starting to free up, Evan has tasked me with Dues and Deposits. In the very near future I will be talking/emailing people who I have questions about dues, so that I can straighten out the books and the CRM. This will probably take 45 days to get it completely scrubbed. If you are going on a long vacation and need to change a month's status to LEAVE, please contact me by email at the budget@i3detroit.com email in the month prior to going on LEAVE.<br />
As a rough estimate of our active members, we had 119 people pay dues in the period from Jan 1 - Jan 31. Some of that may be early Feb payment or late Dec payment, so that isn't exactly how many people are active members, but it is close. By April we should have an exact report of active members.<br />
<br />
<br />
* Aug 31, 2013 – Jan 31, 2014 Budget Report Summary - Terry W – Budget Drone<br />
<br />
Jan.31.2014 Report Spreadsheet (pdf) and a copy of this summary are in i3 Data Vault, Admin/Budget folder.<br />
<br />
As of Jan 31, we are running -$1,610. i.e. we have spent $1610 more than we took in during the period. That is not great, but acceptable.<br />
<br />
Per our budget, we should be -$9,609 at that point in time. The spending tightening measures are still working.<br />
<br />
In the January and February reports, there are some artifacts caused by the transition in the office of Treasurer. There are expenses that should be transacted in Jan and Feb that won't hit the books until later. There are incomes that should be transacted in Jan and Feb that won't hit the books until later. By March 31 those transitional artifacts should all be accounted for. So view the Jan and Feb totals as somewhat skew from our real progress.<br />
<br />
Our 2014-2015 Budget Process will begin May1. Instructions will be sent out at that time. 2014-2015 Budget year will remain Aug 1 – July 31 for ease of continuity of Treasurer/Drone. If we extend the 2014-2015 budget to Dec 31, 2015, then whoever is elected Treasurer/Drone in Sept 2015 will have to start the new budget process immediately upon assuming office on top of all transitional efforts as it will take about 90 days to create an approved new budget. Doing it with brand new officers/directors seems onerous and prone to error. If the Board wishes to overrule my decision for 2014-2015, please do so before April 20, 2014.<br />
<br />
Reimbursements will take about 3 calendar weeks after clean submittal by Warden/Member. If that time frame is not workable for a purchase, pre-purchase requests can be made. Forms are in the Budget Instructions Rev 1.2 package.<br />
<br />
Budget Reports and all archived budget-related material are in i3 Data Vault, Admin/Budget folder.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Summary from Report<br />
<br />
- Acceptable balance spending vs revenue actual.<br />
- We should continue tightening through March 31, at least.<br />
- Expenses didn't shrink against budget, all tightening/savings came from Equipment Purchases.<br />
- Wardens planned well.<br />
- General and Special Events went significantly over budget. Need to correct in next year's budget.<br />
- Income was abnormally low due to lack of Amazon Deposit in Jan.<br />
- Rent was not paid in Jan.<br />
- Utilities sharing not reflected in Jan transactions.<br />
- Reimbursements accumulated in Jan and Feb from multiple prior months.<br />
<br />
END OF BUDGET REPORT<br />

* D'lectricity Project - Terry W. Several members of i3, headed by Matt O. are considering a giant tentacle robot project for submission to D'Lectricity in their entry process. They will be awarding $3500 for 25 projects for the September, 2104 event. A meeting for interested parties will be held on Thursday, Mar 6 at 8:00 PM. The team especially needs an artist for illustrations in the application submission, due by March 31.<br />

===Kiln Zone===<br />
Terry W - Both Kilns had 100% UP time in Feb. We are in the middle of cleaning/reorganizing the area to accomodate better sheet glass handling. I have built a shelf for sheetglass. Although the shelf is wood based, it sets on two steel fencing rails that run from side to side and are permanently connected to the fence top rails on each side. There are plans to upgrade this shelf in the future. On the shelf, we have added a vertical glass storage system, for much safer handling/browsing of sheet glass.<br />
<br />
Future plans (pending board submission and approval) are for an expansion of the Kiln Zone from 5' wide to 8' to accomodate more storage for cermaics materials and more floor space in general. Also it would provide a permanent storage location for the Vacuuform.<br />

Please put your money for candy in the candy machine, not the pop cup, if possible. It messes up my inventory control a bit. We have full inventories on all products. All requests have been fulfilled. Please add new requests via post-it or email.<br />

** [[User:starxplor|Scott Elliott]] is running a group buy, which needs to be placed by the end of February.<br />
** 40% discount on the order which is already significantly cheaper than local prices.<br />
** If you do not want a full case of product, split cases are available if others also want to split--there are already some splits available<br />
** Shipping costs typically $10/case, split across the order based on individual totals<br />
** Delivery in mid-June.<br />
** Order will likely be on a pallet or two, Scott would like to request i3's assistance (or, rather, i3's loading dock) for delivery<br />
** Pallet(s) would be around for a few days to a week as the orders are split up.<br />
** Scott will be unable to join as a member before the order.<br />

'''Chair Justin Triplett'''<br />
<br />
==Action Item Review==<br />
* Justin Triplett - Make a financial and a membership report by the 3rd Tue meeting<br />
* Scott Richardson - Call up MI state to check that i3 is registered as a charitable organization, and if not, get i3 registered<br />
* Scott Richardson - Clarify whether we would be auditable if there were any official Stratocube affiliation<br />
* Nate Bezanson - Do something with the Home Depot Account<br />
* Konrad Brown - Send reminders about action items<br />
* Greg Smith - Proposal for costs of foyer floor plan improvements<br />
* Dave Scholl - Come up with a proposal for how donations in zone boxes are reflected in the budget<br />
* Terry Wynn - Become the budget champion/drone! Talk with the treasurer and Dave Scholl about zone money boxes<br />
* Justin Triplett - Organize the communication between Terry, Dave, Evan about budgeting<br />
* Marie-Therese Enga - Start a discussion on changing the language of the [[Standing_rules#Floor_Plan.2C_Wardens.2C_and_Zones|standing rules in the warden]].<br />
* Brian Wennberg - Write up a proposal for purchase of pallet racks, meet with effected zone wardens<br />
** After talking this over with the effected wardens it doesn't seem to be a good solution at this time. Bringing in pallet racks would actually make things worse not better.<br />

== Major Equipment with Required Training ==<br />
Here is a list of the major equipment, compiled from the individual zone wiki pages and arranged alphabetically, with zone, ownership, instructors and access. <br />
The instructors listed are those that have volunteered to train others and have been approved to do so by the zone warden.<br />
Access is either OPEN (you decide whether you can handle the machine, or need some training);i3 TRAINING REQ'D (you have to be trained by an approved i3 trainer or get Warden approval of prior experience with that type of equipment), or PRIVATE (you must contact owner for permission to use [rare]). <br />

<br />
Q. What types of files does the CNC support?<br />
A. The CNC itself only takes G-Code from a generic text file. These need to be transferred to the machine via a serial link.<br />
<br />
<br />
Q. How do I generate g-code for the CNC?<br />
A. There are a couple of different ways.<br />
1. Create a text file with the appropriate G & M Codes. <br />
There is a program reference guide on the shelves back by the machine.<br />
2. Use a wizard to create the g-code for you.<br />
There are a couple of g-code generators listed in the useful links on the main page for the [[CNC Shop]].<br />
3. Use CAM software to create g-code from a 3D model. <br />
MasterCAM is available on the [[Design Workstation]] in the CNC area.<br />
<br />
Q. What tips would you give in designing a part?<br />
A. Design your part with the knowledge that you will need to hold in some fashion while it is being cut. Without proper hold downs it will be very hard to cut you part accurately.<br />

<br />
Q. What types of files does the CNC support?<br />
A. The CNC itself only takes G-Code in a generic text file with an extension of ".txt".<br />
<br />
<br />
Q. How do I generate g-code for the CNC?<br />
A. There are a couple of different ways.<br />
1. Create a text file with the appropriate G & M Codes. <br />
There is a program reference guide on the shelves back by the machine.<br />
2. Use a wizard to create the g-code for you.<br />
There are a couple of g-code generators listed in the useful links on the main page for the [[CNC Shop]].<br />
3. Use CAM software to create g-code from a 3D model. <br />
MasterCAM is available on the [[Design Workstation]] in the CNC area.<br />
<br />
Q. What tips would you give in designing a part?<br />
A. Design your part with the knowledge that you will need to hold in some fashion while it is being cut. Without proper hold downs it will be very hard to cut you part accurately.<br />
