Production Meeting Notes

7 Oct 2013

Agenda: 1) Backhoe Status, 2) Ironworker Status, 3) Microhouse Status, 4) Documentation

Backhoe

• Goal: Decide design vector for pivot by COB today via Tech Tree of Choices; begin 3D modeling of Design in Sketchup
• Backhoe Pivot:
  • Using Laser cutter pieces to build a small scale pivot (blog input & newsletter topic)
  • Dan & Cody created a viable option that will give us 160 degrees of motion (goal is 180 degress -- 90 degrees on each side)
  • Industry standard includes additional control mechanisms on the side of the pivot to allow for additional ROM
  • Need to complete a Tech Tree of Choices to determine path forward
  • Need to use LibreCAD to do a quick 2D analysis of ROM
  • Does 180 degree ROM apply to industry standard Backhoes that do not use a gearbox? What ROM do they get?
  • Discussion on custom work: may integrate minor custom work into design to allow for greater ROM; need to include these as options for analysis of complexity
• We have 8" and 10" cylinders; but they may not have the correct diameter cylinders; may need between 8-12" -- let's order what we need today

• Backhoe Bucket:
  • Need to determine proper pin mounting

Ironworkwer

• Will table Ironworker discussion with Marcin and roll into schedule

Microhouse

• Microhouse: Need to finish roof...work this into Ironworker / Backhoe schedule; get additional manpower to assist with this from temp agency

Documentation

• Trovebox - DPVs will need to use Rob's login to upload from smartphones; Account: opensourceecology.trovebox.com; Username: Rob@opensourceecology.org; PW: verdel1
  • Need to create a DPV General User account so staff accounts are not compromised
  • Need to provide feedback to Trovebox for improvement; we are part of a beta-test...need to include youtube, vimeo, Dozuki access, LibreCAD for simple 2D design -- need instructionals
• New documentation method -- 1) Explode the diagram; 2) Play it in reverse to create a dis-assembly to assembly using animation (i.e. the Phoenix Method w/ animation). Issue: capturing the animation on screen; need to work this out (Rob will work this and get back to us). If it works, they will try the cab.

Other

• Emmett is likely leaving Saturday or Sunday
• Time off
• Workshop cleanup
• Media focus this week: Rapid prototyping capability using laser cut pieces

Actions:

1. Work on animation and sequencing for documentation purposes and work out our methodology -- Rob & Emmett
2. Tech tree of choices for pivot -- Cody
3. Build pivot in LibreCAD for 2D ROM analysis -- Dan
4. Cylinders: Marcin will order if needed
5. Shop cleanup -- ALL prior to workshop work today
