As with all great projects, this one starts with an unboxing. Not half bad - all the parts are there, but of course no instructions. Not to worry, they're available in PDF form from HobbyKing's site. I didn't follow the directions to the letter...
I rushed into this project a bit too quickly and didnt spend enough time working out the kinks with the h-bot style gantry. for that style of gantry to work well i really needed to better match the linear bearings... by about halfway thru i realized...
Today's update is one of those "it's really coming together" type updates. Since you're reading text and you'll probably scroll down anyway, let me blow the surprise: it's VGA and NTSC test patterns. On a 64 macrocell CPLD. From a single,...
Here's a few quick facts about the TJ Gen1 Prototype: Communicates through the headphones jack using a custom modulation scheme that I've developed (5 Symbol, double polarity, Pulse Amplitude Modulation); It allows an effective bandwidth of 13714...
I was not sure I could make it work before the next vote, but finally it is there and I could show it.This prototype shares the first prototype's display and enclosure, it is so nice to make experiments without breaking anything... Software is cross...
While helping family level a pergola I watched as decided to shoo away a wasp/fly/mosquito/horse fly/ with no luck for at least 20 minutes. Another hour and a few beers had passed when it was decided we needed an electric swatters to rid...
Today I was able to finish the top electrode wiring. Ended up just swirling it on which worked great until the end when the front part of the hat had extra base electrode showing. A few inches of wire bent and soldered in place resolved...
TI (Texas Instruments) SensorTag (http://www.ti.com/tool/cc2541dk-sensor) is a nice dev board that suits well to prototype this project.SensorTag is packed with a lot of MEMS sensors, including a Kionix KXTJ9 Tri-Axis, User Selectable ± 2g, 4g,...
Thanks mostly to Frank B, we now have direct S/PDIF output from the Teensy Audio Library!Here's a detailed blog article.You can get optical TOSLINK digital audio with a $1 connector (Digikey 1080-1434-ND) or just a red LED shining into the optical cable.In...
Really hard to find any documentation on the video console.So far this has been my best resource: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Video+ConsoleAt this point I am completely rebuilding the software from the ground up on asterisk 11.Asterisk...
Note from Zach: I wrote this about 7 months ago. Still catching up on background documentation, so I've pasted the post as-is. A bit wordy, I'm afraid... read on if you're bored.I've been meaning to write this article for some time to document a few...

I've also pulled the guts out of this over-engineered beast this evening. Once test fitting is done (see the other log from today) I'll be installing and wiring this thing. First stop: motion control.
The tangled web woven by Week 22 of the Caption CERN Contest has come to a close. It's been another bumper week with 112 comments. Thank you to everyone who submitted a caption! We realize it may have been hard for some of the network engineers out there...
Uploaded a few pics for Mike but the garbage eating beast is still in hiding. Just think of a crab w/o legs and other features, that is my proto bot. Images shows easy identification of objects of non-earth tones with area as the number presented for...
