New knob for the Organelle

The knob we were able to find commercially was just too small and plain, so we designed and 3D-printed a much bolder knob.

The knob design is published on Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1160160

Obviously we need to redesign and reprint the panel markings to accommodate this much larger knob.

The knob was designed using OnShape.com, a new (still in beta) parametric 3D CAD system that's free to use with almost no restrictions. Worth checking out.

Software published

We've caught up on publishing the Organ Donor software to our GitHub project. Not only have we updated the Organelle software to the latest version as of our most recent deployment at the San Diego Maker Faire, but we've also released the Arduino console software for both versions of the Opus 1 console, capturing all the deployed versions back to the beginning.
