| === New firmware for the doorlock ===
| | * [[Archive:Newsletter/2016|2016]] |
| Our doorlock was suffering from some issues when entering the PIN. We put a firmware fix in; please let us know whether it works better now (or not at all).
| |
|
| |
|
| === Door sensor for the Nebenraum ===
| | Please contribute to the newsletter, by posting to #newsletter in our [https://slack.munichmakerlab.de/ Slack], or by adding content directly, as described in our [[Archive:Newsletter/HowTo|HowTo]]. |
| There had been some discussions about how to make sure the door to the Nebenraum doesn't stay unlocked. Heiko and Severin went ahead putting a first approach into place: A sensor on the door, which is connected to our MQTT bus, and a light next to the door in the main space to show whether the Nebenraum is locked properly or not. What do you think?

| == CW 40 ==
| |
| === Cleanup session ===
| |
| We cleaned the space Sundays and changed the way how and where the laser material is stored. Most of the "member-owned" material moved downstairs, the rest is on the left side of the cutter. The "Free to use" materials are right beside the box storage shelfs.
