I have now launched a <a href="http://kck.st/oAGeza">Kickstarter project</a> to gather backing to launch this product.<br />
<br />
This shield allows you to connect a HP C6602 inkjet cartridge to your Arduino turning it into a 96dpi print platform. It only uses 5 pins which can be jumper selected to avoid other shields. It is designed with a Arduino Mega footprint but fully supports both the Arduino and the Arduino Mega. It is designed with all through-hole components to make assembly easy even for beginners.<br />

I met a lot of people and explained about RepRap and about my InkShield until my throat was sore. It was a very warm day and staying fully hydrated was hard. There was a nice write-up on <a href="http://www.geekwire.com/2011/electric-fan-bikes-hovercrafts-wacky-inventions-seattle-geek-fest">GeekWire</a>, with my picture at the top.

<br />
Last Friday, June 3rd, I took the last test for my Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering. It went well and I then went to a wedding on Saturday followed by a week of just work. I am used to a week off between quarters but this time it was different. This time it was not just a week off, it was the first week of the rest of my life after my college degree. It has been strange... <br />
<br />
I can think of some other words to describe it (although none quite fit):<br />
<ul><li>Surreal</li>
<li>Happy</li>
<li>Sad</li>
<li>Freedom</li>
<li>Clarity</li>
<li>Confusion</li>
<li>Relief</li>
<li>Pressure</li>
<li>and many more...</li>
</ul>It has clearly been an emotional week with many contradictions. But that all led to two amazing <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicholasclewis/sets/72157626940484400/">graduation ceremonies</a>. The first was the huge ceremony at Husky stadium and the second was a much smaller Mechanical Engineering department ceremony. Both were unique and I am glad to have participated in them. I then had a party at my house with family.<br />
<br />
Now as I settle in to this coming week I am starting to ask myself "now what?" I have been doing this for a long time. I have many things that were put on my "after I graduate" list and know generally what I am doing now but it is still very strange...<br />
<br />
I will leave you with the list of things I am doing in the next few weeks and we will take it from there:<br />
<ul><li>I plan to clean up my house and reclaim my yard (it is looking like a jungle out there.)</li>
<li>June 19th I am teaching an OpenSCAD workshop at Metrix Create: Space (they are having a 3D printing makeshop after) <a href="http://metrixcreatespace.com/calendar" target="_blank">http://metrixcreatespace.com/<wbr></wbr>calendar</a></li>
<li>July 6th I am talking at Dorkbot about the <a href="http://youtu.be/fYeYeTGkvJM">DIY inkjet printer</a>. <a href="http://dorkbotsea.org/" target="_blank">http://dorkbotsea.org/</a></li>

It was a fun experience, however it would have been better if more people I knew had been there. I raised $80 and walked 60 laps (15 miles). I did not end up staying through the entire event because I wore myself out walking so much. I was there from 2pm-midnight.<br />

This quarter at the UW we produced some documentation on the development of a DIY inkjet printer. This was partly in response to the fact that there are no DIY inkjet kits available. There was a <a href="http://www.parallax.com/dl/docs/prod/robo/InkjetKitDocs-v1.0.pdf%20">kit available</a> from Parallax however it is no longer made and the main <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Inkjet-Applications-Matt-Gilliland/dp/0972015930">book</a> that was written to go with it is now out of print.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>The goal of this project was to develop a low cost, open source inkjet printer utilizing standard inkjet technology, for personal use. This project was partly in response to the fact that there are no DIY inkjet kits available. There was a kit available from Parallax <a href="http://www.parallax.com/dl/docs/prod/robo/InkjetKitDocs-v1.0.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">parallax.com/dl/docs/prod/robo/InkjetKitDocs-v1.0.pdf</a>. This kit is no longer made and the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Inkjet-Applications-Matt-Gilliland/dp/0972015930" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">amazon.com/Inkjet-Applications-Matt-Gilliland/dp/0972015930</a> that was written to use that kit is now out of print.<br />
The prototype design used a carriage assembly constructed from steel rods that were assembled using connectors that can be printed on an FDM machine. The entire carriage system is driven along the x-axis by a belt attached to a stepper motor. The print cartridge, taken from an HP point of sale printer, is driven along the y-axis by another stepper motor belt drive. The electronic controls use an Arduino Mega to run all of the printing systems.<br />
The design resulted in a working prototype that fulfills all of the design constraints. The rod frame carriage design is lightweight, easy to assemble and easy to integrate with the other systems. The Arduino used in the electronics has a large library of resources available to perform things like LCD, SD card, and stepper control.<br />
Areas where future work should be focused include making molds and casting printable parts to bring down the overall cost, developing host side software, and optimizing the speed. </blockquote><br />
The documentation is being released as a <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8542">thing </a>on Thingiverse, a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicholasclewis/sets/72157626730985822/">photo album</a> and a <a href="http://youtu.be/fYeYeTGkvJM">video</a>.<br />

I first read about this on <a href="http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-04-fbi-code.html">PhysOrg</a> and then read the FBI's <a href="http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011/march/cryptanalysis_032911/cryptanalysis_032911">original write-up</a>. I felt that maybe I could crack the code but that the chances would be much better if a very large group of people worked together to solve it. Therefore I chose to start a wiki as a tool for collaborative work by anyone and everyone. It is my hope that this will allow us to help the FBI solve this decade old mystery.<br />

<br />
This <a href="http://mccormick-code.wikidot.com/">wiki site</a> was started to have a central location to discuss and work on decoding the McCormick Code. I have setup a <a href="http://mccormick-code.wikidot.com/forum:start">Forum</a> and a <a href="http://mccormick-code.wikidot.com/theories">Theories</a> page to start. I would like to see a page setup for any theory that is come up with. From there it will evolve and grow.<br />
<br />
If you think you can help or are just curious please <a href="http://mccormick-code.wikidot.com/">visit</a>, sign up, and help crack the code.

I have also been playing around with a number of electronics things. I bought an <a href="http://gadgetforge.gadgetfactory.net/gf/project/butterflylogic/">Open Bench Logic Sniffer</a> which is very cool but comes without a case. I found a <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5970">design </a>for one on Thingiverse but wanted to have cutouts for the optional headers so I modified it (<a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6351">here</a>).<br />

At a minimum I was able to salvage the following (there is more I may be able to de-solder):<br />
2 - 12v steppers with gears, belts, etc...<br />
3 - smooth guide rods (with bushings)<br />
1 - 12v, 1.5A wall adapter<br />
1 - 26v, 5v, +12v, -12v supply (I don't know the amps...)<br />
1 - White cold cathode tube with control board<br />
1 - RGB cold cathode tube set with control board<br />
2 - FFC with connectors (will have to de-solder the connectors)<br />
2 pieces of glass<br />

After my brothers wedding I took some time to get caught up on things. I did not come here and post about them, so here is what the rest of my summer brought.<br />
<br />
<ul><li>I started printing Mendel parts again and now have a full set on <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150502159269&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT">eBay.</a></li>
<li>I opened an <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/NicholasCLewis">etsy shop</a> and have things ranging from wood-burned Celtic knots to 3D printed Moai and hand painted Bullroarers.</li>
<li>I started websites for myself (<a href="http://nicholasclewis.com/">NicholasCLewis.com</a> & <a href="http://reprapbreeding.com/">RepRapBreeding.com</a>) and my wife (<a href="http://sunnysidecakes.com/">SunnysideCakes.com</a> & <a href="http://goatvillepygmies.com/">GoatvillePygmies.com</a>).</li>
<li>I setup a demo with a local distributor of a <a href="http://www.dimensionprinting.com/3d-printers/3d-printing-uprint.aspx">uPrint </a>at work. I think we may buy one for prototyping, tooling, and mock-ups.</li>
<li>School started and it is a little lighter quarter than I have been having. (I also turned in my paperwork for my math minor).</li>
</ul>I think that is about it for now. I will try not to wait so long before posting again. :-)Nicholas C.

Ivan (my brother) was trying to make his own kilt but became overwellmed with other things, so starting on Wednesday at 9pm my sister Joiwyn started working on it. She worked almost constantly until 8am Saturday morning (the wedding day). My kilt and Curtis' kilt were also completed Saturday morning... we cut some things close. I finished making belt buckles at around 11am and the kilts were still having the temporary basting removed at around 3:45 (the ceremony started at 4) :-). Even with all that the wedding went very well here are some pictures (and more <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicholasclewis/sets/72157624837449154/">here</a>.)<br />

All said and done the damage (counting window cost, a new radio, and a iPod charger) came to about $350... Why do people do things like this? They got less than $20 worth of value and caused me all that trouble...<br />
<br />
Here was my fix for the window...<br />

While walking to my bus stop I saw a traffic jam at the main campus entrance. As I approached I discovered a over-sized load truck with a crane on it. As I got closer I saw it had run into a sign turning into campus and they had a reciprocating saw and were cutting down the sign. <br />
<br />
I then managed to get to my bus stop and the truck managed to get free and moving.<br />

It preceded onto campus after much effort from both Seattle PD and Campus police to get the lead car past the congestion and then my bus arrived. We rode most of the way around campus with out incident until we reached the tight turn at the top of the hill by Meany Hall. The truck was stuck again.<br />

They were turning cars around. And even turned a bus around by backing it on to a side street. At this point I decided to leave the bus and walk toward the freeway to catch a different bus.<br />

I then walked toward the freeway planning to catch a 511 from the freeway stop, but at 45th and Brooklyn the 855 caught up with me so I just got back on that bus. In total it took almost 2.5 hours to get home....<br />

We also have received the tartan so kilts will soon be in work...<br />
<br />
With the changes to the Community Transit schedules and my schedule for summer classes I am walking over 1 mile a day. It is nice to have a little extra motivation to walk (since I have to) but this week has been very hot and I can't wear shorts to work. I may have to start changing before I go to school and after I get back to work. Tomorrow I think I may try my zip-off pants.<br />
<br />
Everyone be sure to drink lots of water on these hot summer days.<br />
<br />
Watch for more pictures of the dress and kilts in the next few weeks...Nicholas C.

I chose to take classes over the summer so that next year will not be so heavy (only 362 more days to graduation!). I am taking two classes "Intro to Mechanical Design" and "Finite Element Analysis." I hope they do not consume too much of my time as I am still working and I am helping my brother get ready for his wedding. I am making the wedding dress and helping make kilts. Yes, I said kilts... I will be wearing one in the ceremony. And my wife is making the cake. Maybe I will post pictures of all the wedding stuff when it is done.<br />

I have been making many posts over on my <a href="http://reprapbreeding.blogspot.com/">RepRap blog</a>, but none here. I have been spending most of my "spare" time, when not working or at school, either working on my Mendel or working on a film for the UW Hall Health. It has been a very bust quarter. I have started looking forward over the next year to determine what classes I need to take each quarter to graduate next spring. I am also planning the things I need to do to support my brother's wedding in August.<br />
<br />
This next year will still require a tight schedule but will go by before I know it. I will try to post a little more regularly here, but also be sure to follow the progress of <a href="http://reprapbreeding.blogspot.com/">my Mendel</a> and the ongoing exploration of its capabilities.Nicholas C.

We got it working after several problems with our electronics and a lot of help from the people over at <a href="http://metrixcreatespace.com/">Metrix Create: Space</a>. Be sure to check out the pictures (<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/metrixcreate/4529760517/">here</a>) of us working on it down there.<br />
<br />
