Hello, once again I am here to talk about wheels, don't worry, next time will be something different, but for now, it is wheels. First the video, because hell why not:The wheels that I have settled on are made with a DLP driven, resin curing 3D printer....
I've built many contraptions over my forty-some years. And I'm a bit surprised that, to date, none of them have really involved pumps. Okay, there was that one "hey, we have some high power sump pumps from the flood, and a kids' pool, and some steel...
"Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong" - Murphy's lawSomehow my water outlet managed to get himself unstuck during the day and decided to go haywire. Leaving everything in a nice watery pool. On top of that, when I came home and found the whole...
I made the design to be laser cut and after finally getting the chance to use the laser cutter at my university it came out perfect! A big thank you to the staff member that let me make use of it.As you can see there are a lot of parts. The parts did...
After building the horse from all of the parts, I ran into the following issues, and determined fixes for the next time:Rockers are too short! My daughter promptly flipped off the back on her first ride, and has subsequently gone over the front a few...
I'm writing this after wrestling with json to save config settings to the esp file system and get them back out again, so I may be a little biased and reserve the right to remove this post!I had initially chosen to use json as there is the ArduinoJSON...
Still muttering, he hefted himself over the lip of the dish and slid down it's interior slope, ducking quickly into the relative shelter of the antenna array. A quick dig through the tangled wires revealed the home-built resonant injector spliced into...
Lee had considered several possibilities about how the company would react once they discovered what he'd done. None of them bore any resemblance to reality - the geosync platform wasn't at all what he remembered. When the science teams had arrived there...
So, the first thing to do was to get the Teensy 3.1 on the protoboard and make sure it works. I'd already soldered one up in my Megsy project, breaking out all of the extra pads on the bottom for easy access.It had never been tested, but no time like...
A post today on the Hackaday blog linked to a previous blog post on my project, so I took a look at that page for the first time in over a month. Bunch of comments about random technical issues, but one in particular struck me. The author said that my...
Ok so we're done doing the physical assembly...had a few issues along the way.The battery box clearance (rear-mounted) might be problem for speed bumps. Current clearance is only about 2 inches. Hard to find an aluminum (for heat sink) case big enough...
We wanted to build our own transmitter receiver. Lots of options here. Right now we're playing with Arduino/ATTNIY85 communicating over Serial RF using 2 HC-12s. Need to make sure we get a consistent signal, can transmit data fast enough...figure 20...
Work in progress. After 6 months a few hundred miles...ready to put all our improvement ideas to the test on our next board. It will be great having 2 boards and be able to ride together with the boys.Here is what we're doing differently:Trucks/Mount:...
So this was only the second time I've used the Atmel SAM devices and I have to say they are starting to grown on me. I have to say the ASF is a pain in the ass, its hard as hell to find the details of the modules for the version of the ASF your using...
After setting everything up and getting the tags on the cats I periodically went and found them to make sure the system was working. By watching them move around on the screen I found out some interesting new places they like to hang out. For example...
