Automated agar plate scanner * 15
    #29680034 -



I have an unmanageable number of plates, and it's been putting me off of doing the breeding projects I'm most excited about, because I know that managing the plates is such a PITA and I do such a bad job of it.

My dream system is basically just a self-checkout machine / barcode inventory for plate management. Everything gets a sticker that tells me what the transfer was taken from, what's going on with it, whether I care about it, etc.

Finally I have built the hardware to support such a thing.



This is a Phomemo M120 label maker, which can thermal print 10x20mm labels.



I vibed up a lil web app that makes labels with a QR code and whatever text I want, and then sends it to the printer. They get stuck onto the bottom center of a plate.


Then I hacked up this combination of a $10 webcam and the lens from an 80s super8 camcorder which turns out to be the perfect size to read the text clearly from just a few mm away.


It has a lil' stand with markings for 60mm and 90mm plates that puts the sticker at exactly the right distance.


The quality is decent!


Now I can make easy labels


And automatically scan them when they get placed on the tray.

The software for actually keeping track of all this shit is going to be the bigger hurdle, but this is working great so far and I'm super stoked. And it's all in open formats that a robot can drive, which is the real dream. I'm not actually tryna type these labels manually.

Bit of both, but I didn't read or write a single line of this code, the bots are good enough now that it doesn't make sense for anything that doesn't have real consequences. The barriers have never been lower.

This is so true, and honestly this tek might be the most revolutionary tech in at-home cult that I wouldn't be surprised that this practice spreads like wildfire, especially for the cultivators who have endless cultures like verum subsequentis

That verum thread is the kind of process I built this for (I'm doing serial dilution for monos, I'll make a thread eventually when it picks back up), and I think it could catch on among people who are doing big plate hunts like that, but generally will remain super niche. Even with the coding barriers removed, it's a chore and a project all its own.

But those plate photos are the kind of thing I want. Just a library of all my shit. I like records but it's gotta be easy or I won't do it. So many plates where I'm like wait, what did this look like last week? Which of the 5000 plate photos is it, everything in my phone looks the same. This one seems like it's fast, or doing better, but is it really?

And I want to be able to throw more stuff away. Right now I feel like I have to hang on to everything because IDK what's redundant etc. A list that shows me I have 7 old plates of some wack shit would be nice.

Verum's a madman for that one. So much organization and high quality recordkeeping.

edit:
Oh shit if the plate stand was a pane of glass instead of the current rack, it could be bottom lit, and then the sticker would be better lit and it could take photos like his from the top automatically.

:mindblown:
we're fuckin doin that.

dude, I love the bottom lit idea

you could even install a gopro/fixed camera (from above looking down) to record plates in real time with time stamps

Yeah, honestly I gotta figure out condensation better. It's less of a problem when I'm not fridging things and have the lab temps dialed. But going from 35 to 75 and back more than once, a lot of my plates are basically unviewable with the lid on. Faht's gellan gum thread is lookin real tempting rn. I don't think I can handle that much churn in my process at the moment, but shit it'd be lovely if all my plates were that crystal clear.

My dear Rasmodius, that is the best bit of tinkering Iโ€™ve seen in a long time. Awesome idea, awesome execution. It almost makes me sorry that I only own 40 Petri dishes.

Do you have a git for this I could pull it from?!I have been thinking about this idea for a while and have plenty of tokens for all of the big consumer models aswell as a fairly robust sovereign harness for local models I would love to use to contribute to this project!

It's local rn but I'll at least zip it up for you tonight. I haven't decided how do to git as rasmodius yet. GH is a microsoft product, and thus effectly a US government entity, so there are some opsec implications. I'm by no means perfect in that regard, and choose to soften my opsec because I find showing up for forum stuff to be rewarding enough for the risk. So I'm open to suggestions. Same with YT. I'd like to make videos (and I made a couple that I've sent to some people on here to preview), but those services are so hostile to both mushcult content and VPN traffic that I'm hesitant to invest in something that's just gonna get banhammered later.

Open to thoughts.

Anyway TLDR I'll get you the code one way or another.

Oh yea, sorry I am using "git" generically as any sort of SVN.

For privacy and anonymity purposes we could use radicle? I use it all of the time, but would run new keys for this.

If you're feeling extra paranoid we could discuss self hosted options over Tor?

Let me know how I can help!
