This log includes major upgrades included in the current system.Till now we had been using an older OS incompatible with RPi 3 since the display could have only worked with that image. Additionally it caused the trouble where the onboard or external...
7/29/2013: As I stated; been working on the cabinet for the Mirror universe project. I bought a couple of "project" Bally Star Treks from a fellow pinball collector out of Shertz a few years ago. These have been setting in storage for a while... and...
The last log has shown the results of the latest development work, which ensures that input data are correctly pre-sorted into ascending runs as they arrive, at the cost of more than doubling the working area (which is not surprising for a merge sort)....
I bought beautiful staff - punched tape reader (Left) and writer (Right)They uses standard 25mm tape. Writed has 8-bit mechanism. Reader can eat 8, 7 and 5 bit tapes with two different sizes.Waiting holidays to tear down and repair. They should...
So I managed to get a residency at the Supplyframe Design Lab in Pasadena, and hurriedly got to work on a prototype on day one!(Note that I am writing this up a week after starting and I am completely exhausted, so mostly pictures.)First up, 3d print...
Right now the prototype suffers from two distinct problems. One is that there's some crosstalk of the LED rastering on the audio. That I believe I can solve by simply routing the audio line so that it doesn't cross under any of the raster lines. The...
Backstory It's August 2022 near London... The sun beats down on your face, whilst you painstakingly push a 3.7kg slab of wood up 45m of elevation, with only 3m of downhill, over 4.8km. The gradient varies by 0-3% throughout the journey. Although...
While Lattice Diamond Programmer or DIPSY SPI Tool can be used on PC to write spi flash, Hackaday project #SPI Flasher May also offer direct SPI flash writing from Rasperri PiThanks Yann!
The Z axis deviated from using the motors used on the X and Y axis. Instead a motor that was pulled from some random copy machine was used. The linear guides are some that were bought off of ebay coming from China. Not sure if I will go this route for...
The UPS-18650-NS is installed and working on my seismometer (I think.) The Raspberry Pi version that services the seismometer is a B+. The only way to know if it is working for sure is to disconnect power and wait 4-5 hours. Here's a photo of the installation:I...
I bought the Psion and a number of blank 32K DataPaks. I have no Comms Link so no means to get any data onto the Psion (other than typing it in). So, the first task was to build a DataPak reader/writer. Jaap's excellent website https://www.jaapsch.net/psion/...
Here's a super hacky wire/conductive pad version of Sotto:Each finger pad is soft and not too noticeable, and also highly reliable and subtle. Plus, it's cheap and easy to make! Super excited to design a good enclosure here that is going to make it easy...
All this is being done for a set piece for a local Atlanta Dance Company called Lucky Penny. It sounded like an amazing project and I was hooked from the beginning. Too bad I didn't find out about it sooner as we had about 2.5 months before...
After much trial and tribulation, I finally having a working Bearing Gear that doesn't fall part in my hand. It's still not as strong as ABS, but it's getting closer. I would have posted this yesterday (Friday) but I was exhausted. On Thursday I was...
TL;DR: participated in hackathon, worked on Joe-mon, didn't expect to win, won '1517 Grant Prize'. https://www.facebook.com/hackillinois/posts/1360661100660096:0https://devpost.com/software/joe-monWell, this is old news considering HackIllinois was back...
