Meeting Minutes - Card Stuff

• Got materials for the new ID cards
  • Materials to make two total cards (one learning card, one 'actual' card)
    • 2 Labels per card
    • one white NFC card
    • lamination sheet
• Making each ID
  • Cut out fronts and backs, each person gets a pair
  • Apply labels to front/back of card
  • Cut any overhanging label material
    • Otherwise it creates bubbles when laminating
  • Laminate the labelled card
  • Leave the laminated card underneath an upside-down laptop while it cools down
    • The lamination machine heats up the card so much it starts to curl
    • We just need a 'press' to hold it flat while it cools down
  • Finally, Cut off excess lamination
• Allen showed us the method of cutting cards - Have scissors congruent to the edges of the card
• Cards can be read and written to by an android app (MIFARE Classic Tool)
• Be careful with the air bubbles while laminating
• Next week's talk on programming the cards

Note from 2025-02-14:

The meeting minutes for the following meeting (Minutes 2025-02-13) has some pictures of the process, since some members weren't able to make their ID cards this meeting and did it then.
