Also are you new to VHS and wondering what the heck the VHS Minute requirement is for all members?
Give one minute for VHS. When people are at the Space in addition to cleaning up after themselves they are expected to do a minimum of one minute for VHS on things that help us run. Examples include sweeping, taking out garbage, or anything else that helps the Space operate.
I managed to repair the old VGA microscope camera. I fabricobbled a new input jack and found a power supply to use with it (the old one was toast)…
I added a new power input jack but had to tape it to the outside of the case. I also added a diode inline to drop the power supply a but as the one I found was a bit over 5V.
Full disclosure I did have a proper lens to test with (and don’t wanna take apart the new HDMI setup) so I can only assume the image is in focus…
Not sure the best place to keep it (handy as a spare ??) so left it on the bed of the new microscope…
OK… This minute was a bit more self serving… I have always admired various “artish” projects people leave at the space. I made this little pixel based matrix sign using @Jarrett’s WS2811 pixel boards ( YAP - VHS Beacon (Blame @Janet)) and figured it should stay in the space.
emptied some trash, put random towels into the orange bucket, took out the pop recycling, generally just cleaned up random things that people should have been putting in the garbage.
I cleaned up a bunch of old account settings in our wordpress implementation (runs vanhack.ca - but not the forums). If you are a member and would like an account to add to our blog or website please pm me. Thanks!
There are two banks of lights on independent switches just in case you don’t want to wear sunglasses while painting.
Also put in an on/off switch for the fan.
Next projects are going to be putting in a suspended-spray grid, building a ventilated drying cabinet, painting the walls bright white, putting a make-up air filter and window into the door, building shelving along the east wall, and putting in a nice big sink. If you’re interested in helping out, jump on over to the paintandmessroom channel on slack.
