Everyone,
We may need to figure out an alternate power routing arrangement for
the Fab Lab. (Isn't it FABULOUS?)
I got up to the hive tonight and one of the breakers was blown. It
looks like there is an extension cord running a few computers, an Xbee
thingy, a fan and the AC unit plugged into one 4-outlet unit. I don't
know enough about what matters in this room to do something more
permanent and useful so I unplugged the power strip that's running
across the room for the time being. I'm assuming the Xbee thingy
isn't blowing breakers.
It went out again?? I was in the lounge on friday and the breaker tripped randomly in the middle of a movie! I think there a few things that can be unplugged that may be sucking up power and aren’t necessary. If it happens again just an fyi I think the breaker is #19 in the panel.
Just a note: When you unplugged that power cord I believe you unplugged the server rack and as such there is no internet at the hive currently, haha. Not a big deal, but someone may get frustrated if they don’t know and can’t connect.
I’m at the hive currently and I have internet just fine as you can see. I don’t think I unplugged the server rack - the cord I unplugged went over towards the makerbot along that wall.

I moved power cords around and am running the fans on a different outlet. The computer and AC unit are both running now and no breakers have blown.
