Metal shop permissions not working?

Hi @metaltechs, had an issue with tagging into the general TC in the metal shop yesterday. Someone was tagged into the top left fob, I scanned mine to tag them out and got permission denied (with my name flashing up). I have my basic lathe induction, I think this means I should have basic permissions? My fob worked as usual on other TC nodes.

(Sorry if I’ve missed a recent change!)

Basic metalshop has been added as an induction recently. If the metaltechs have seen you practicing the key skills in the past you should be good to be marked as allowed without an induction. That’s up to the grown ups through

Yep, so as @Destom said you need to have the general metal workshop access to operate it, but also theres a bug which means even if you do, you can’t log out someone else at the moment.

Your current permissions:

Cheers both, I’ll leave it to the grown ups and take whatever inductions they suggest :+1:

Out of interest, is there a workaround for the issue if someone has left it tagged in and gone home for the day?

Yes, if no one is using the workshop you can safely turn off power with the big switch to the left of tool control and it’ll restart the node logged out.

@mia and I merged a fix for this https://github.com/southlondonmakerspace/esp-idf_TC_MK7/pull/7/changes

If the node is reflashed, it should be fixed

Unless you want me to do it over VPN remotely, I’d suggest we do it tomorrow?

Nah, lets do it tomorrow. I try to do those in person to test.

Unfortunately I forgot amongst all the other things. I will be in on Friday to take a look.

I was going to do it, but @mia said the code change wasn’t going to fix the issue, so I didn’t - I’m a little confused and don’t have time to check it now.
