erebuslabs commented 9 years ago

Hello Guys!

First off thanks for the report and a superb job all around! Enjoy some much deserved time off and feel free to reach out if/when you would like to help out with Blocks of Code! Is there any chance you guys could package up the set ship it out (like I said earlier - we can rotate who has it when). I'd like to get some alpha testing in over the summer so I can get some enclosure prototyping in as well.

Take care, Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks for a cool project proposal for us to sign up for!

I tried to stop by the lab space a couple nights ago and my keycard no longer works. It looks like the blocks are still safe in the locker. Assuming everyone's cards have lost access after the end of the term, it's going to take someone to go there during business hours and (re)request access. I know @dfrister said he's working on campus this summer and mentioned he's available to ship them.

dfrister commented 9 years ago

I will check in with the lab managers in the EPL when I am on campus next, and update then regarding getting access if I can't get in already.

Debrant commented 9 years ago

Hello all,

I hope everyone is enjoying the summer. I can come to campus and let Dan in on the weekend, or move the box somewhere more accessible if you can't get in before Saturday afternoon. Does Jacob need the lock placed somewhere? Let me know.

Regards, Nathan

until the locker is all the way clean It doesn't really make sense to remove the lock, and I'm not too interested in recovering it anyway. If anyone wants it; keep it. Or else give it to the epl maybe. If it's hard to give away I'll come and get it from wherever.

dfrister commented 9 years ago

Just arrived, card is also not working with that door. I will check as the day goes by to see if any managers open the EPL for access.

dfrister commented 9 years ago

Spoke with Nathan in the EPL, and while I will not be getting badge access to the LID again he will be available to let me in during his working hours throughout the week. There is a UPS mailing center a couple blocks up that I can check in as I leave work tonight and what I can devise for shipment.

erebuslabs commented 9 years ago

Hi Daniel, I'll reimburse you for the fastest method of shipping possible! We have teachers here next Monday - it would be awesome to get some feedback!

Also - guys feel free to connect with either/both of us on LinkedIn and if you ever need/or want recommendations just give us a heads!

The store had everything needed I think to get the job done, and I should be able to put it in their hands by the end of the day tomorrow. I think the only detail I am missing now is the preferred destination address. I think we have yet to put anything like an address here on the repo, so an email may be best.

erebuslabs commented 9 years ago

Hi Daniel,

Any chance you have a non-pdx email / or does the pdx email still work?

Take care, Mike

gstro commented 9 years ago

Hey Dan, if possible, can you pull out a block for me before you send it? Thanks.

dfrister commented 9 years ago

I was planning on leaving 6 blocks in the locker as per #106 . I guess the only question remaining is what other parts are going into the box. The programming headers,displays, and beaglebones of course. But the issues with the capes were unresolved as far as I know.

erebuslabs commented 9 years ago

The plan (leaving 6 in the locker per #106 sounds good, as well as headers/displays/BBBs). Basically whatever was used in the live demos. I thought you substituted the output cape with a BBB - right?

dfrister commented 9 years ago

There was a breadboard that has the connections that the cape would have provided. Currently I have everything that was in the box we used to transport materials upstairs (which I believe is all the demo material), plus the programming headers, minus 6 blocks and the prototypes.

When I picked up the packing material the office gave me a very rough estimate (I didn't have package weight) of $200 for Wednesday, $110 for Thursday, and $70 for Friday. With that in mind are you still fine for fastest shipping?

erebuslabs commented 9 years ago

Let's do Friday since we don't need it until Monday :) On Jun 23, 2015 3:38 PM, "Daniel Frister" notifications@github.com wrote:

dfrister commented 9 years ago

Counting things over there were 47 blocks in the locker. That should mean everyone but me has grabbed one already, and I am packing the remaining 46 into the box.

ghost commented 9 years ago

@erebuslabs the orchestrate.py script on the master branch is currently broken. It was just due to some buffering on the pipeline that python enforces, so we whipped up a one-liner bash script to accomplish the same thing. That script (the one we presented with) is sitting on @gstro 's bbb.

@dfrister I grabbed 2. But if that means that anyone else hasn't gotten a change to grab one yet, I can get them my extra one.

dfrister commented 9 years ago

Box is out the door and tracking number has been emailed to Mike.

Thanks Daniel - Ill mark it as closed!
