DanielUhl:

I am an open source enthusiast with a long standing interest in Electronics, Microcontrollers and Programming. I had the oppurtunity to visit a great High School with a technical focus, where we would learn Machining, Electrical Installation and Electronics one day per week, in addition to theory classes on Electronics and Computer Science. I love sharing knowledge and I'm always bummered if there are arbitrary barriers to acquiring or distributing knowledge.

'''Welcome to ''Open Source Ecology''!'''
We hope you will contribute much and well.
You will probably want to read the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Contents help pages].
Again, welcome and have fun! [[User:Marcin|Marcin]] ([[User talk:Marcin|talk]]) 08:45, 20 October 2017 (CEST)

Eric, I've been following your wiki contributions, really interesting stuff, thank you for contributing.

Just a few minor suggestions, I noticed you don't use the wiki markup very much, particularly two features:

# numbered lists
# signature tag when doing discussions

For numbered lists put a hash mark in front of items, instead of manually numbering things (edit this talk page to see how I did the list above).

For tagging your comments in talk pages there is a button above the textarea (second from the end) with help text reading: "Your signature with timestamp". If you click that it will automatically insert some characters that get replaced with your name, date, etc upon saving the changes.

Definitely take some time to read the markup help pages, there is a lot of cool stuff you can do with wiki markup: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting

Thanks and have fun! --[[User:Lex Berezhny|Lex Berezhny]] ([[User talk:Lex Berezhny|talk]]) 23:44, 15 November 2017 (CET)

Lex, Thank You!

I am definitely still a novice in this whole text/webpage/wikipage formatting thing so your help is greatly appreciated!

== wiki work ==

great work on the wiki Eric. if you are looking for a little project you could go through and make sure that each of these genealogy pages are listed in order of newest to oldest [[Genealogy_Directory]] Also might try to make them all styled with bullets or whatever the same way. Also, feel free to try out OpenSCAD if you want to jump in on the circular knitting machine code :D I can help with tips and tricks.

Thanks! I can definetly do the organizational stuff. For now I am trying to make "Construction Sets" for just about everything we have made or will make. I am also doing some stuff like making sure all information pages go into a page similar to constructions ses but for knowledge. Organizing the geneologies fits nicely into this so I will definetly do that.

I am a student so my work is kind of sporadic. Once I am done with all the stuff listed in the above bit I will probably do a smaller design or to of mine on this page as a sort of learning exercise. I think I will do this [[Open Source Vacuum Cleaner]] project, or maybe design a dremel tool holder to make a basic [[D3D 3 Axis CNC Mill]].

Then once I am done with the above things I will probably join the official dev team and do stuff with that.

Anyhow how does OpenSCAD work? From what I gathered (and may be completely wrong in thinking) it is a CAD software where you directly interface with the code, instead of a program like FreeCAD where you use the interface of the software (unless you get all fancy in FreeCAD at least).

I don't think I will be of much help on that front (YET at least). Although, It seems like you are doing a fine job on it without me getting in there so I guess I will leave it at that. Sorry if I ranted a bit there, and keep up the great work!

Hi Eric, thanks for offering to help get materials together for expo events. I would most appreciate help getting together a few signs/displays and information sheets, mainly I need the graphics/documents. I would like to get an Open Source Ecology sign and a display of the 50 machines of GVCS, with a high quality graphic I can get these printed. A hand out for at least the D3D would also be good for tabling. I added some sections https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/OSE_Participation_in_Makerfaires#Tabling_supplies
and if you can collect good graphics that would be super helpful.

Have a long weekend at last, so I'm diving into these posters. With the 50 Machines, some of them are very outdated looking (ie the 3D Printer looks like the original reprap, not the D3D). Should I correct this? Everything else is going nicely.

I ordered a poster already, so that is set. It is just a sign so people have an organization name, I used this image http://www.sharingame.org/media/Global_Village_Construction_Set-1024x712.jpg . I am trying to get together a few explanation graphics to lead people through the concepts required to understanding how a 3D printer works.
https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/D3D_Enterprise_Training_Program#Curriculum_for_education

So a figure showing how xyz coordinates are used in making 3D models and generating gcode is my next deliverable

lol yeah! re: the arduino shields, it is very silly and expensive use of materials, but its working for now, woot. i'll upload a picture later for the lulz

Just got back from a talk at UNF with my school's "Great Decisions" club. The guest speakers were James Fallowss and Deborah Fallows. They spoke about their book "Our Towns". This book explores troubled cities in the USA, but also how those same cities came back. There are a lot of similarities in philosophy, as well as some potentially useful ideas/methods in it. All in all it was a great speach, and I will now try to get some of it's bullet points down, and possibly find a reccording of it (They have broadcasts, but I don't know if it is private etc).

Just got settled in for my first semester (summer B) of University at the University of North Florida (or UNF). Tommorow my classes start, but I will try to send an inquiry about using the schools fab-lab for OSE work (I toured it a few years back; pretty extensive, although I will probably stick to the welder, hand torch, and their 3D Printer, as their industral Multi Axis CNC is way too expensive and important for my needs as of now. I will try to keep everyone updated about all this excitment! (PS I also got a laptop with some REAL processing power for University + Immediately Afterwards, Huge improvement in render times, which is refreshing, I may also try a dual boot Windows+OSE Linux later)

Just got signed up for the Personal Protective Equipment mini-course/quiz needed to gain acess to UNF's Machine Shop Part of their Fab-Lab! I'll finish that after homework today or tomorrow, so I should be able to use it quite soon. Their FDM + Vaccuum Former Section did get moved, as I suspected, so that requires a different inquiry... Learning how to torch, turn, and weld components should keep me busy until then!

FINALLY finished all of that Fab Lab Saftey Stuff, it was kind of on the back burner for a while. Projects need to get cleared and have some level of legitimacy/relivance to them in order to use the space (which is all okay, I was planning on only using machines stuff when they were not currently being used for full on engineering projects)

I may try and found an OSE club at UNF then. It would probably fallshort of being a full on OSE campus, but I can see some possible ways it could go:

*Open Source Golfcarts for Maitenence Staff Etc
*Open Source Power Tools for Maitenence Staff Etc
*Open Source Construction Vehicles for Construction and for Maitenence Staff Etc
*Open Source Bikes/Velomobiles for sale/rent
*UNF (3D) Print Service (As we already have UNF Printing for paper goods)
*We have an onsite garden that supplies the cafeteria today I will see if they would be intrested in anything, such as a micro trac, a greenhouse and/or aquaponics system, and maybe a D3D Farmbot
*Collaboration with local affordable housing groups like habitat for humanity with a CEB press and/or Open Source Power Tools, and/or Open Source Construction Vehicles
*Host a Makerfaire

So this past thursday, I was at a completgely different counterprotest against the schools soapbox preacher guy, and I met a computer science major. We struck up conversation, and I brought up OSE. They seemed intrested, and may join soon. They probaably have class today, I only have class monday through thursday. I will try to contact them later today or tomorrow to see if they are sttill intrested, and help them set up an account etc.

Hi Eric,

As requested by Marcin, I consolidated the notes on marketing on various places, see my [[Pieter log#Notes on Marketing|notes on marketing]]. Looking forward to learn about your ideas.

Hey Eric! Thank you for the links on my talk page! Very useful indeed, a great help to get started! I am delighted to hear that there is a Discord Channel. Unfortunately the Invite link did expire already. Can you generate a new link? Thank you! Looking forward to working with you all :-).

'''Welcome to ''Open Source Ecology''!'''

Thank you for registering on the Open Source Ecology wiki.

*We suggest that you review our [[Crash Course]] for an overview of our work. Our current goal is finishing the [[Global Village Construction Set]] by 2028, at which point we begin focus on human development - of [[Integrated Humans]].
*To join our dedicated development team, see [[OSE Developers]]
*To join OSE full time - we are offering our first ever [[Immersion Program]] in 2008. [[User:Marcin|Marcin]] ([[User talk:Marcin|talk]]) 02:31, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello! I'm just typing all this to throw out some stuff i found useful when i was starting out:

* [[Wiki Cheatsheet]] - you seem to have WAY more coding and whatnot experience, but this is useful for the wiki formatting and whatnot
*The search engine on the wiki is b a d. So it may not even recognize plurals, so some searches may need like 3 variations to "get it" (i am trying to make redirects for all those whenever i encounter them)
*Also i made this sort of "table of contents" (a pile of it is essentially placeholder ideas of mine): [[Construction Sets]]
*Not the most active but there are some "sub groups"
** [[OCI]] (Their main Website is [http://opencircuitinstitute.org/ Here] )
** [[OBI]]
*Finally feel free to join the slack and/or discord channels for OSE (Links may be dead, i can grab a new one if need be):
* [[OSE Discord]]
* [[OSE Slack Channel]]
*I guess that's about it and it's late where i am, so i am logging off for the day. Should be back on in 6-12hrs or so feel free to ping me and whatnot if you need help with something!

Work log of [[User:DanielUhl]]

{{Status|Creating Work Log|FreeCAD 101, Finding a development task to work on, maybe replication of D§D Pro?|Lack of overview.}}

= Tue Jul 21, 2020 =
Created this page [[DanielUhl Log]].
First contact, Mailing info@ose,

I am a bit overwhelmed by the info on the wiki, hard to see clear path, maybe "Beginner Bugs" like in Open Source Software projects?
Sounds a bit weird but maybe an "Organigram" as an overview on who is working on what would be nice. Can't find log for D3D Project.

FreeCAD Assembly Workbench

2020-07-21T10:32:03Z

DanielUhl: Added paragraph about new versions

The one to use is Asseembly2 workbench:

https://github.com/hamish2014/FreeCAD_assembly2

= Versions =
Three maintained versions of the Assembly Workbench exist: A2plus, Assembly3 and Assembly4. Which one is used by OSE? Which one should be used?

A2plus [https://github.com/kbwbe/A2plus/releases] Last release 26 Apr 2020
Assembly3 [https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD_assembly3] Last release Apr 24 2020
Assembly4 [https://github.com/Zolko-123/FreeCAD_Assembly4] Last release Apr 17 2020

Probable USPs: Solution to topological naming problem. User base, Developer base.

Additional Info from the FreeCAD forum:
[https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=34583]
[https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=27278]

=Installing (Old) =

Clone the Assembly 2 github repo directly into your '.FreeCAD/Mod/' directory (which also allows easy updates with `git pull` in the future) as follows:

<pre>
mkdir $HOME/.FreeCAD/Mod
cd $HOME/.FreeCAD/Mod
git clone https://github.com/hamish2014/FreeCAD_assembly2.git
</pre>

You will now have access to the 'Assembly 2' workbench the next time you close & restart FreeCAD.
