_F7_haha, cool10:00
_F7_What to expect?10:00
_F7_I think the FBIs interest in diybio is interesting10:01
_F7_they've paid to cart a lot of my friends around10:01
_F7_Also there's an offer to send me to SF from june 12-1610:03

kanzure_F7_: i've met with the fbi often re: diybio, so if you need some pointers let me know10:31
kanzure_F7_: but yes, we're inviting everyone out to the diybio/fbi event this year10:31
_F7_What's their interest.10:31
kanzurewe're also getting cathal10:31
kanzureso we'll finally meet that guy10:31
kanzurealso, joseph jackson/biocurious is doing a hackathon the day after the event10:32
_F7_I mean they're spending money so I doubt they just want to play patty-cake with me10:32
kanzureusually they want to just connect and talk about what's going on10:32
_F7_okay10:32
kanzurealso, there might be some recent thing in the news that they want to see if you know about10:32
kanzurehint: look up your agent's name in the recent news10:33
kanzure"Houston FBI Special Agent Jack Jupin remembers his former partner during a memorial service for FBI Special"10:33

juulhi kanzure11:23
juullooks like i'm doing some AFP in human cells11:23
juulthanks for the suggestion11:23
kanzureAFP?11:24
juultrying to find a system for upregulating expression when the temperature drops.11:24
juulanti-freeze protein11:24
juuli'm not sure we'll have time to do both the sensor and the AFP expression11:25
juulbut the idea is to see if we can put an "emergency anti-freeze" system into hela cells11:25
kanzurejuul: you going to the diybio/fbi thing?11:28
kanzurethey were going to fly in some people from biologigaragen but didn't seem to have your name listed11:28
juulyeah. the fbi seems to be ignoring me11:29
kanzureinteresante11:29
kanzureyou should email me & joseph.jackson@gmail.com and say you're from biologigaragen, in the bay area11:29
kanzurejoseph has been helping the fbi out with arranging travel details for everyone11:29
kanzurea lot of international folks are being flown in11:30
juulyeah, not that they don't reply to my emails (i haven't sent any) but i put my name on a list to receive info about this, both this year and last, and did not receive emails. could just be a glitch11:30
juulyeah, i probably should RSVP11:31
_F7_oh, juul11:31
_F7_at what temperature threshold?11:32
_F7_juul: RNA thermometers11:33
juulit's just a proof of concept, but it'd be preferable to begin producing AFP as soon as the temperature drops say a couple of degrees, such that the cells are still functioning efficiently enough to produce a lot of AFPs11:33
juul_F7_, thanks!11:33
kanzurejuul: i'd make sure to clarify in the email that you are in the bay area, but "from the copenhagen group"11:34
kanzure*you are already in the bay area11:34
juulyeah, don't need a ticket11:34
kanzurewhich means their costs are basically $0 zilcho11:34
juulok confirmed, I'll be at the workshop11:57
juulkanzure, will you be there?11:57
kanzureyes11:57
juulgreat :)11:58

fennkanzure: implicitcad works as intended, but it needs a lot of work to be usable. the constant size sampling grid for example makes things slow at larger absolute dimensions12:04
fennrendering time scales ~ as the cube of the dimension12:04
kanzure"size sampling grid" what?12:05
fenna simple script to watch the source file for changes and re-render it at increasing resolution would be nice12:05
-!- SDr [SDr@unaffiliated/sdr] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]12:05
kanzuredoes implicitcad force you to use its own rendering thing12:05
fennit just makes stl files12:06
kanzureis there any actual cad output12:06
fennor svg files, if it's 2d12:06
kanzuresvg is way better than stl :/12:06
fennanyway it needs a lot of work12:06
kanzureis this just csg or can you address the patchwork of surfaces12:07
fennit's csg12:08
fennthere's no patchwork12:08
kanzureok. so if you want to draw on a surface created by your cube, nope?12:08
fennum. i'm not sure if that's possible or not12:09
fennbut currently i don't think the program is able to do that12:09
kanzureraw csg is nice but you can do that with anything, even blender12:09
fennit would be easy enough to intersect a plane with a solid to make an outline12:09
fennright, it's really slow for just csg, you might as well use opencsg for that12:10
fennbut implicit geometry allows for a lot more than primitives like cubes, spheres, etc12:10
fennfor example you can easily make shells12:11
fennor arbitrary functions12:11
fennjust need to wrap your head around it http://christopherolah.wordpress.com/2011/11/06/manipulation-of-implicit-functions-with-an-eye-on-cad/12:12
fennreally i think what a cad system needs is lots of special purpose macros, like washer(ID=2, OD=4, T=1)12:13
fennor thread('M6', 10)12:14
fenni think some of this is implemented in openscad modules but i personally dont know how to use it12:14
kanzurewhile you're here.. please look at openscad, cadmium, pyopenscad, openscad.py, openjscad, csg.js, and shapesmith's erlang stuff12:16
fennhere's the openscad macro library https://github.com/elmom/MCAD12:17
fenni need to figure out the stupid opengl 2.0 problem with openscad12:18
fennotherwise it takes for fucking ever to render12:18
kanzureyeah i wonder why elmom doesn't hang out with us in here anymore :(12:18
-!- aristarchus [~aristarch@unaffiliated/aristarchus] has quit [Quit: Leaving]12:20
fennnot really sure what the problem is with openscad in the first place, as opencsg seems to work fine: http://fennetic.net/irc/opencsgexample.png12:24
fennlike, why does it need opengl 2.0?12:24

fenn`LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 ./openscad` at least renders the part quickly, unfortunately it's then bog-slow to move it around12:39
ENKI-][clearly we need a LIBGL_ALWAYS_WETWARE flag12:40
ENKI-][it will make use of the placebo effect12:40
fennsure, just run NOP until the computer finishes12:41
ENKI-][it will be even faster than hardware rendering!12:41
kanzurefenn: it uses opencsg to do the actual csg12:42
ENKI-][though i figure if we can take advantage of the stuff used for image processing directly without actually using the eye we probably wouldn't have to spend nearly so much time dealing with triangles.12:42
ENKI-][wireframe mode would involve ingesting mescaline12:43
fenni think it's calculating the csg surface every time the view updates (whenever you move anything, open menus, etc)12:43
fennwhen using CGAL it doesn't do that, perhaps a simple patch is in order12:43
kanzurefenn: a few of the openscad coders sit in #reprap12:44

fennwhat's the point i ask, what's the point14:11
kanzure"Image-based CSG rendering (also z-buffer CSG rendering) is a term that denotes algorithms for rendering CSG shapes without an explicit calculation of the geometric boundary of a CSG shape. "14:11
kanzureit's just for rendering on a display14:11

fennwe can already render triangles pretty quickly14:12
kanzureyou're free to delete most of the content on that page, but we should be writing these things down14:12

superkuhSo, do the videos on this page about a cnc kit load for anyone else? I saw the link here yesterday but the youtube stuff is "Private". http://micro.lumenlab.com/micro15:43
fennthe video is "private" for me too. also the cnc is not a very good design15:45
kanzurefenn: elaborate on why it's bad15:46
fennthe dangly loose support rods15:47
fennsomething like this is much stiffer http://joescnc.com/themachines-06.php15:47
fennsee how the bed directly supports the rods15:47
kanzurefenn: on a related note, do you have some favorite cnc routers for full sheets of plywood15:48
kanzuremom thinks it's a >$50k project but i think a fold-up bed probably exists somewhere15:48
fennwhatever les was working from, i forget the name15:49
fennthe thing that became shopbot15:49

juulkanzure, there is an in-progress build at Metrix Create:Space in Seattle. I don't remember which design they are using.15:50
fenni've never seen any fold-up cnc routers15:50
fennit makes sense to me to put it on a wall15:51
kanzurecut from the wall? or store it on the wall15:51
_F7_There's a hacked-together CNC that would've been able to take a full sheet if the scrapyard gods had been nicer15:51
_F7_at TX/RX15:51
kanzuremy mom's shop space is really constrained at the momet15:52
kanzure*moment15:52
kanzureso a full bed is impractical (although i don't know how they cut full sheets at the moment anyway)15:52
fenna full sheet is overkill anyway15:52
_F7_It's got a clever design using sealed worm drives strung together with belts for a Z-axis, and a pretty standard ball screw setup for the x-y15:53
fennfirst you have to have infrastructure to handle full sheets, that means a forklift and a sheet rack15:53
kanzurefenn: nope.. she says full sheets15:53
kanzureyeah she doesn't have a forklift15:53
_F7_It only does 3'x6' because we're derps15:53
fenn2'x4' is good for most things i can see doing15:53
_F7_I have a double digit weight and I can still manipulate a full sheet of plywood.15:54
_F7_don't need a forklift for that15:54
juulif you have a forklift already you already have three-axis control, all you need is a G-code to forklift-controls converter :P15:55
juul(ok that would probably make for the least accurate cnc ever)15:56
_F7_If you're going at it that way then you might as well say that a hexapod with a router head would make a great five axis for any material size15:57
kanzureso sometimes there are 54in cabinets15:57
kanzureor 8 feet cabinets15:58
kanzureso she says the bed has to support that15:58

_F7_I'm just not sure if it's worthwhile to integrate them into a delta bot16:15
fennstewart platforms are very sensitive to backlash16:15
