The Abbenay hacklab [1] opened early this month in Stockholm [2], where a housing crisis is at full blow. We are set up in a place that was squatted downtown by Kommando Carl Bildt since late August, called AK4. The house was empty since June, and there was no plans to use it until one year and a half. Unfortunately, squats are very unusual in Sweden, and the discussions with

Sanobot data for the first half of September
The CSV data from Sanobot for the first half of September is now available here: sanobot_half_sept.csv. Sanobot is the toxic gas sensor and Twitter bot of /tmp/lab. The first column of the CSV gives the Unix time at which the measurement was taken. The other two columns are the ADC output for respectively the TGS2602 and the TGS2600. For information about how to interpret the data, see here: http://lekernel.net/blog/?p=509 and

Pollution sensors experiments
We have started experimenting with the air pollution sensors. First setup: The Figaro gas sensors mounted on a piece of Veroboard: View of the big scary Arduino used to plot the first graphs. 1min/div. Looks like it’s working as both smell (from the chemical factory) and measured voltage go up during the third minute: More to come soon!

Toxic Gas Sensors
Those of you who have been to the /tmp/lab may have experienced the delicate smells of the nearby chemical factory. We want to learn more about this pollution, so we will implement an automated measurement system. To monitor the air concentration of pollutants, we use cheap sensors made by a company called Figaro. The models used are TGS2600 and TGS2602; the same are used by the FridaV project. The TGS2600

FPGA Workshop #3: Computer Architecture, August 29th
Computer architecture is the science and art of selecting and interconnecting hardware components to create computers that meet functional, performance and cost goals (Wikipedia). With the invasion of digital devices during the last decade (cellphones, wireless routers, digital TV…), it has become more than ever ubiquitous. However, it is still a poorly known subject for most people. Even among the self-proclaimed hardware hacking community, most fanatics of the Arduino development

Distributed Crypto SAT Solving workshop, Sept 10th
In this workshop led by Mate Soos (PhD in INRIA Rhone-Alpes) we will take a distributed SAT solver design that works similar to SETI@Home and hack it until it works faster, gives better results. The results will be public and the solver downloadable, along with the server to enable anyone to crack much-hyped but useless crypto-systems using collaborative effort. SAT solvers are mathematical tools that solve problems given in the
