Fortunately the dynamics of the table are not too complicated. Let the state, x, of the table include 2 variables, position and velocity, x and v. Given the relationship dx/dt = v, the state matrix equation is: The only way to control the position...
Get Some "Blueprints"Find some schematics for your favorite fictional starship or whatever. I used this drawing of the RSI Aurora from Star Citizen. For something more from the appropriate era, you might go for the Nautilus. You could also obviously...
I used some stencils printed on A4 paper to copy the letters and the flags to painter's tape. Then I took the painter's tape and attached it to the plane like in the picture below to create a mask for the paint. I then spray painted on top of it using...
Now we've got the brawn dealt with, let's get the brains sorted out. The brains in this instance reside on the ESP8266 chip on the Adafruit Feather Huzzah board: You can See The ESP8266 that sits on its own circuit board proud of the main PCB Its a micro-controller...
First, let's assemble the extruder, so we can just drop it onto the printer later! There are two sets of spacers, labeled B1-B7 for the Bottom assembly, and T1-T2 for the top assembly. There is also an extruder motor shaft coupler spacer, labeled...
This project would not be anywhere near as complete without some awesome online resources and some awesome people. I would like to thank the devs at Adafruit for making some incredibly useful resources. I referred to the Metro Mini and VL53L0X product...
First check the you have necessary materials to make the project. You need some 3D printed parts, so a printer is necessary or at least the posibility of print. We print with protopasta carbon fiber filament but you can print in PLA, thats if you want...
I went for 2x3U. I screwed a piece of roofing battens into the case and the bottom rail directly onto them. The middle rails are just screwed together and are laid onto some standoff I laser cutted out of some scrap wood. The top rail...
We had to do lots of experimenting with different types of glow powders and different types of lighting.LightsFor the best "pop" highlighting the fine details of your leaves, you want a really low wavelength (below 400nm, like 390nm). This reduces the...
I attached a 2 axis gyroscope and 3 axis accelerometer onto this project so that I could add some interesting control to the device. The 5 degrees of freedom board from Sparkfun outputs data from its gyroscope and accelerometer as analog voltages. I...
First prepare all the parts for final assembly. Solder the pins to the Nano board if needed then install the Nano board to the I/O expansion board. Then, attach or solder the jumper wires to the button switch and the buzzer. I used some leftover servo...
For this step you will need: Acrylic sheetsSawPencil I am using some 3mm thick opal acrylic to diffuse the light for this project. I purchased some A4 sheets which we can cut three panels worth of acrylic diffusers from. My fourteen triangles therefore...
