@kevinphy you going to makerfaire???

Hi! This is Mario from the FOSSASIA/OpnTec community. I had the chance to meet many g0v contributors at events during the last few days and it is always inspiring! I am staying a few days longer in Taiwan to showcase our Open Hardware Pocket Science Lab (PSLab) at the Makerfaire this weekend. We have a few free tickets for the event and we are also looking for volunteers interested to help at the booth. All the info about Makerfaire is here <https://taipei.makerfaire.com> Details about PSLab are at <https://pslab.io>. Anyone interested to join?

@kevinphy heyo! You up to anything tonight?
kevinphy 16:09:42
I’ll give a talk in 三創 tonight
cool! is it a private thing? mind if i ask the topic?
About the robotic lamp for documentation! Hmmm sort of private. But I think you can come to 11F around 21:30 to 22:00.

I have a chance to promote my open source project and am going to push forward the development with this upcoming interested community.
ok, i'd love to stop in if i can make it in time 🙂
also, congrats! (on the booking)

<!here> @agoeng.bhimasta just DM'd me. We're bring convo here
patcon 17:05:51
@agoeng.bhimasta graciously agreed to let me post the message, for context:

> hi @patcon
> I am Bimo, a student in National Tsing-Hua University.
> I am also plan to build the rhythm badge and see your progress on making it for your project.
> I tried to order from PBBWay with your Shared Project (https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Rhythm_Badge.html), and I am quite confused with several things, especially in the Assembly Pricing.
> So, I tried to order 10 of them and I get $166 for assembly and $348 for the component.
> In your hackmd notes, it appeared that yo got $88 for assembly 5 pieces and $106 for 20 pieces, which for my case, I doesn’t make sense for me to get $166 for 10 pieces.
> Do you think something wrongs here? E.g: the way I order?
> Thank you very much
patcon 17:06:56
ok, so as for the shared project, it's definitely not ready for prime-time, just a demo to test out the formatting of the website. I'm really sorry if you spent too much time trying to figure it out 😞
patcon 17:07:10
I should definitely add a note to warn future folks who fine it
patcon 17:11:12
as for assembly costs, it may be the case that the quote process is very inconsistent. fwiw, i started submitting for 20, and then knocked it down to 10, through the chat feature, and they revised the quote
patcon 17:11:37
i think it's just a messy process, but you could try mentioning the price i got?
They said that you might apply for special price.

And they now offer me for 88$ instead of 166$ after mentioning your price.
haha yeah, i used some words to try to sound like I was ramping up for something bigger, so they probably just auto-applied it
glad you got it
patcon 17:14:04
also, pls do try to use the files in the repo itself for now. the ones on the project page _should_ be good, but i've done a lot of messing around with formats, trying to get things on the website to "render" correctly. it's possible that my fork differs. pls just doublecheck that your files are the same as the ones in the main repo for the BOM and schematics (unlikely to differ, but i'd hate to be responsible for a misplaced order!)
I just compared with the BOM you attached on the PCBWay and from the original Repo. There are little differences

It seems that you have only BAT4 whereas the original repo have BAT1, BAT2, BAT3, BAT4. I’m also pretty sure that we only need 1 instead of 4. @patcon what do you think about it?
I'm seeing both mine and oren's having just one BAT4:
https://github.com/HumanDynamics/openbadge/blob/master/eagle/nRF_badge/Badge_03_v6/export_20180201/badge_03v6_bom.csv
https://github.com/patcon/openbadge/blob/master/eagle/nRF_badge/Badge_03_v6/export_20180201/badge_03v6_bom.tsv

but i know that exporting directly from eagle gives a few BATs, though not sure why that discrepency. Prob worth asking in an issue, as I was wondering the same

patcon 17:15:32
semi-related, but i'm totally curious:
1. can you share anything about the project that working on?
2. what's your area of study? your research topic?
3. what made you interested in the rhythm badge project?
Bimo 17:18:56
No worries, your note ia big help for me, as I don’t have any knowledge in making such things. 😁
Bimo 17:19:18
I didn’t try it yet, but I will try to mentioned the price you get, and see their response
Bimo 17:46:43
- I’m not yet starting any project related to this rhythm badge, I am totally new in this, but very curious.

- My area of study is service science, basically we try to improve or create new service through science. One of the area i start to learn are social interaction and the social network analysis, that bring me to the sociometric badge. I think the badge is intereseting in a way that we can expand our creativity in do researches and provide different insights that we might cannot get from using survey or observations.

- I personally want to test the Sociometric badge by humanyze, but it’s very expensive (500$ each) and not include the software. So, I try to find out wether any other similiar products, and one of them is the Rhythm badge. I thought since it’s a open badge, and they said it’s easily replicate, but I think the facts it’s not XD (maybe for people like me who don’t really know about electronic components)

- Our institute, did a lot design thinking workshop, we started to think to bring this badge to measure interactions during the workshop. We will have a design thinking workshop in Indonesia next January and plan to test the badge there. (I am an Indonesian btw). This is the first steps. In the same time, I also want to introduce this kind of badge to other researchers, such how we can use this badge to improve service such as in marketing.

- My rough plan for the next 3 years (subject to change 😁)
1. Do some testing on rhythm badge for design thinking workshop, and other different setting to get strength and limitation of the badge. As for now, we feel that having the badge first will become a huge leap for us. Other idea is test it on speed dating event.
2. Improve the badge (add more sensors), create some different badge design for different situations (for cost effectivity).
3. Do collaborations with other fields (e.g: marketing) with the badge.
4. Promote the use of the badge on research (We thinking of conducting series of design thinking in different asia countries)
5. Make it more accessible to public to access the badge.

Bimo 17:50:09
Did you order some the badge through PCBWay now?
oops. forgot to answer. not yet. was hoping to get done today, but looking less likely (but NEED to soon or i won't be able to have them in time for a demo next month :)
patcon 18:12:24
cool! that sounds exciting for you!
patcon 18:12:33
re: working with the badges.
I'd like to caution that the badges are only half the challenge -- using the hub and analyzing the data are very technical tasks as well. Are you comfortable managing and troubleshooting software build environments, or do you have someone who could support you on that?

These badges are definitely not turn-key like humanyze's 🙂
Haha, yes I know very well aware about that part. I have background in software engineering, so I feel I might able to handle it. In addition, I can also have some professor to help me on it. We also try to form a team for this.
patcon 18:13:15
re: experimental design and service science
though you can't see my face, I just wanted to say that the following comments are spoken with sincerity and kindness ❤️

i'll be candid, my interest is very much on the participatory side. I am actually pretty cautious of the ethics of using badges like this in a way that doesn't strive to share the insights to _all_ participants involved (ie. those being studied). This data can be used to rob people of autonomy is a way that I can imagine might become pretty dystopian...!

there's a lot of talk of technological ethics lately, and I take that conversation very seriously

I am always prone to be cautious with information that can create power asymmetries, and I have too much respect for this data to not speak up for that perspective 🙂

but i know that this is an ongoing conversation, and I'm excited to learn more from one another!
tl;dr - It's in my nature to be collaborative and helpful, but I am unclear how to feel about indirectly contributing to marketing-related research...! but then again, working together on things is the only way we learn about one another's perspectives 🙂
Yeah, can’t agree more with you with ethics part!
We might also want to discuss this tackle, we also serious about the ethics part. This is one of my professor work related to ethics:
https://uwaterloo.ca/statistics-and-actuarial-science/sites/ca.statistics-and-actuarial-science/files/uploads/files/galit.pdf
Marketing research is probably one of research areas that still not being touch. Recently, I just found one researcher that use Humanyze badge in service marketing (http://db.koreascholar.com/article?code=351338)
yeah! if you're down to meet people from the #vtaiwan group, who work adjacent to what@kevinphy and I are trying to do, there's an open meeting tonight: https://vtaiwan.kktix.cc/events/d33cfed2
i'll be a little late, but omw soon
I really want to join, but sorry, I’m might not able to catch the bus on time to Taipei.

I will love to join the next meeting 😀
patcon 19:01:41
@agoeng.bhimasta you should consider opening an issue in HumanDynamics/openbadge issue queu, and share what you're working on. It might be a good place to ask them questions in public going forward -- I know that Oren is trying to keep things out of private emails lately.
Bimo 19:03:04
Yeah, absolutely will do that in the near future 😄 - I have contacted Oren last time and that’s how I ended up with joining this group today.

@kevinphy helping me place an order for parts
hey @kevinphy would you be able to help me place the order this week?

I used this BOM tool to find stock:
https://octopart.com/bom-tool/umnIrb6i

Then created a quick spreadsheet for 1ClickBOM, so it can auto-fill a shopping cart:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-5LKHB8ZZsGpXDV7_uw9EgDSq2FiReUh5wpzuG6iewk/edit#gid=1016563347

And so if you copy-paste that into the 1clickbom.com browser extension, there'll be a button to add everything to a cart. (One part isn't available thru digikey, and that's can be skipped)
It comes to just under NT$1000, and I'm happy to meet you somewhere to do it, or pay you later! Sorry to be reliant on you. If you're busy, no pressure 🙂
could ship to hackerspace if you think that's a good idea. or even my hostel, or the startup hub where vtaiwan meets
ugh. USD$10 for $0.77 in parts. ~I'll try to find another on that, but it might be the cost.~ Prob worth ordering a bunch, maybe 500, since it's the limiting part.
1ClickBOM is damn awesome
I have requested permission to access the google docs

@kevinphy heard back from digikey, and they confirmed that you were not a scammer and the stuff is on its waaaaay! Confirmed that should be here from Michigan in a few days. They couldn't say what the import fees would be though

Omg I hope these trade war tariffs don't apply to taiwan :/
Michigan LOL

Anyway.. Awesome!
I cannot find the confirmed information on Digikey (under your account)
Weird. Well, they said on the phone that it was in its way. And a real non-robot woman told me that, so it must be true
Haha
Could be fake phone?!
My card is still not issued.

@patcon, did PBCA sent you couple of email during the assembly process, whether they did it correctly?
patcon 19:44:35
We just ordered parts and boards, not assembly, and we're still waiting for them being shipping after some identity are later confusion (using my name/email and @kevinphy's credit card seems to have been a mistake)

Still waiting for Hong Kong to ship, I think :)
Oh, I thought that beside building yourself, you also build a few from them
They regularly send me an email asking whether did the solder correctly, and also the cathode is going the right direction
the arrow point of cathode
asking if this one is soldered correctly
What if we start a github issue explaining the situation, and see if Oren and team can post some high-dif photos for situations like that? I feel like send them a high-defintion photo of an assembled one will eliminate the back-and-forth
The bottom note about "tombstoning" might be helpful for you: https://github.com/HumanDynamics/openbadge/issues/108#issuecomment-429346597
I think, Oren and teams should updated their the assembled one with the newest version, so we can easily validate the badge we working on with his final badge
I just create new issue on github about it
I don’t think this is a tombstoning issues, it’s more about it’s the direction of the components are corrects
like for the switch, we can also solder it reverse position
hey @agoeng.bhimasta, were the above photos correct?
patcon 19:44:39
