Step One: Make magnetically coupled component for a gravity-driven deviceFirst of all, put two motors in the chassis motor seats separately, fix them with 502 glue, and then solder the motor wires. Squeeze glass adhesive on the printed BB-8 hubs to make...
Before starting BigFDM is a big machine, and therefore requires a large space were you can comfortably build it. This especially when you need to move around it, or to install big parts. Furthermore the build requires the use of common tools, including...
We have prepared a code for you so that you can move the spider robot without any problems at first. A few commands are ready in the code, but you can revise it yourself ;#include // include IR Remote library #include // include servo library //=====...
Well in this step I will focus on the code and getting it to work with Facebook and Flickr ....---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#!/usr/bin/env python# this file is run using this...
From the last step you should have seen how to and where every thing is going. So lets get started with the power... I used a PC power supply I had. ( 500 Watt ) I cut out the + 12 v and rigged the power supply to come on when power is applied. ...
In order to add wireless access point capability to your media server, you need to install hostapd (hostapd_8192cu from AUR if your wifi dongle is based on a rtl8192cu chipset) and dhcp. If you have installed yaourt as stated in an upper Build Instruction,...
Winding the inductors is easier than you might think! I used about 4 feet of 18GA Magnet wire to wind the inductors for this particular power supply. Each inductor has ~30 turns on it for an inductance of about 90uH. If you don't have...
Assembling the tube1And now for assembling the laser tube itself. Things needed for this will be a bit of JB weld, a long thin dowl that fits inside your mirror mounts. This will help align them, much better than eyeing it. You will also need some 3/8th...
Jacket Wiring, LED Setup, and Light Pipe Assembly.I never took pictures of this process with the first prototype so I need to complete the second prototype and take pictures to use as visual aides along the way, I should have them up in another week...
Prepare the adapters and connect them to the terminal stripsThis part is important and tricky, and it took me three attempts to get this right. Here's the rules: Any high-current line must be a twin line that starts as a twin at the power supply's PCB...
Plan out construction site. It helps to have snow on the ground, but is not mandatory. I used a 9.5 foot rope staked to the center of a circle to trace out the extents of my hemispherical dome. Note that my build was not on level ground, so I had to...
Let's get cracking, get the Carambola up and running. I like to connect to the serial terminal, the development board features a usb ftdi chip allowing me to use a terminal program like PuTTy to connect.Connecting to serial terminalFirst step: see that...
Interface Circuitry:[*Schematic]We'll need a small circuit to interface the IR camera to the arduino. I got all my information from other sources. Here is an exhaustive list:This fellow (kako) seems to be the first. Here are his pages translated. (Please...
This last step is going to get REALLY tedious because the Address Bus has so many lines. But this is the last step and you should be done, so keep it up just a little longer. A0: 6502 Pin 9 to FLiP pin 13 A1: 6502 Pin 10 to FLiP pin 14 A2: 6502...
