Workshop

The Multitouch Workshop page was moved here.

Our group has an electronics and mechanics workshop. It is currently being set up with four work benches for soldering, Dremel work, drilling, sawing, and PCB production.

The workshop already contains a milling machine for creating PCBs, cutting and engraving acrylic and similar tasks. Detailed information can be found on the milling page.

• Location: Room 2014, ground floor, main building, computer science center, Ahornstr. 55
• Access: Talk to your advising PhD student. We have some machines in this workshop that can be dangerous to people as unfamiliar with the physical world as the average computer scientist. (Hint: the saw does not have an Undo button when you cut off your finger.) We also have strict rules about keeping this place in good shape. That's why using the workshop requires a personal briefing before access.
• Keys: After your briefing, you can get keys from any PhD student (assistant) at the Media Computing Group. Return the key when you're done with your work and cleanup for the day.

The Rules

• The workshop is for electronic and mechanical hardware work. Clean any desk you used before you leave for the day, so the next person can enjoy a clean workspace when they come in.
• It's not ok to leave any empty packaging, component material leftovers, pizza boxes, dead pets or any other trash lying around. We want this space to be a pleasant environment to work in for everybody.
• Return all tools to their correct place immediately after you are done with them. Clean them if necessary. Every tool has its place in this workshop; put it there and nowhere else.
• Spend 5 minutes at the end of the day to clean up some aspect of the room that looks like it could use it - not your own mess, you should have done that before. Be creative. Clean out a shelf, wipe off a surface, sort some resistors, throw out some trash.
