# Board migration Ugh, getting my Teensy off of the perfboard was a mess. I didn't have any headers on hand so I had simply soldered the microcontroller board directly to the perfboard. I tried snipping all of the pins near the perfboard but I obviously...
At this point, it seemed to me that the entire project hinged on the viability of slotting in a new keyboard. If I couldn't get better input on this thing, there was no sense putting any more time and money into it.Now I've previously said that the PreComputer...
Here is the rough idea of what I'm hoping to get out of this project. I have a small CNC router that I built in a previous project. Along with a shop vac, that is used to collect dust from the router. I would like to build a rolling cart to...
So I got the ladder mounted up on the roof. It seems to be up there well and it was not that bad trying to lift it up there by myself. I can lift one end up and put it in the hanger, then climb a step ladder to hang the other end. No...
So I have this full sized pillar drill press that I got from my Grandpa. It takes up quite a lot of (vertical) room in the shop, but I really don't want to get rid of it for sentimental reasons, even though I'm unlikely to ever drill something...
So here is my initial plan for the various carts I hope to build. The workbench would be 32" deep and 64" wide and I would build two 32"x32" cabinets under the table. Each of the other cabinets would only be 26" deep to account for the bulge...
Here is another new idea. By rearranging things a bit I can manage to grow the size of my support tables, at the expense of the work table size. My current CNC is 24"x24" but I have parts to resize the CNC up to roughly 32"x32"...
I was up half the night trying to think of where to go next with this project. Were getting to the point where big decisions need to be made and real money spent. So I thought I would get my ideas down on paper before they all fell out of...
So I'm still slowly chipping away at this project. I have been forcing myself to go through my remaining boxes of junk to sort it out. So far I have about a box worth of stuff to get rid of and about 1/3 of the total pile sorted by type. The...
The handles came and I'm finally done! For now it is just resting on the baes of the drill, I will probably attach it more permanently just to make things more safe, but otherwise I have nothing left to do. Someone suggested removing all but...
Thursday, 16:41, 15/12/202220/12/2022Sorry for the delay, for some reason my brain refused to work these last 5 days, so I didn't work that much on this project log as I wished to. 23/12/2022 For some reason, it seems like this Project log is so...
I intentionally make my robots minimal in terms of additional aesthetics, to make them easier to make and customize for others. But sometimes you just want to have some fun, so when I saw this bunny-shaped ipods case, I knew what I need to do:It's just...
Project update:What a RIDE this week has been! Every once and a while you put a thing down into the EDA, shoot it off to production buy all the parts everything comes and the thing comes out working, EXACTLY like you thought it would! I...
I finally got a set of test key switches to check which are compatible with my PolyKeyboard. What's needed? Actually only a LED slit that is 8.5mm wide. This is usually not mentioned in any datasheet, so I decided it's best to try out! The result table:...
These are my soldering tools and consumables. I haven't actually had need to use (1), (2), (6) or (9) but it's nice to have them on hand. 1. Antistatic wrist strap - protect your ICs / sensor modules. 2. Solder Flux 3. Damp Sponge for wetting/wiping...
