So, in case you are bored and want to do something different in the weekend, this is the exact step by step to help you burn 20 hours.1. Buy a perfectly good 1:16 or bigger RC tank from RC store or Amazon for 99 bucks, mine is a Tiger 1 tank.2....
Here are some demonstrations that we've been working on. Using the motor in these different applications has helped us evaluate our own design and make improvements where necessary:Closed Loop 3D Printer:Demonstration of a rep rap Prusa with closed loop...
Now, I show you how to use the CAPSENSE technology to unsolder components, and again using the PSoC 62S2 WiFi BT Pioneer Kit board. Below I show you the schematic diagram. Schematic Diagram Schematic diagram How does it work? Here I will use the device...
The history of E.R.N.I.E, from left to right: The first version that was produced for the headstart event, The fully reusable version of ERNIE that is available on github, The future improved ERNIE that features a caster for the rear wheel as well a...
In true maker space spirit, we hacked the beat detector and IR blaster prototypes together over a couple of evenings. For the prototype, we used DF Robot's breakout board for the MSGEQ7 graphic equalizer chip. This chip is pretty cool... it...
The driving gear for a massage of fingers was constructed and tested. We choose 5-bar linkage with 2 servos. Here is the assembled construction and components. The lever arms and bases are made from FR4 Blank Clad Circuit Board using micromiller,...
More of a blog entry than a project one.Sort of a milestone this weekend, we actually spent time making parts for a robot we're trying to get ready before the end of the month. For a short while it was even like a normal CNC shop where we are popping...
Besides the 7 LEDs arranged in a dice pattern, I have added another 8 LEDs arranged in a line:The LED bar is good for teaching port programming, bit manipulation or the binary number system. The LEDs in dice pattern on the other hand are good for teaching...
Published: 14:53, Tues 24th May A few logs ago, I said I was going to watch a Spider V1.1 listing to wait until it got taken down or I could deduce it was legit, and the former happened as expected. There was even a Spider V2.2 for the same...
Initial Work: Log update: 01/05/2019 As a first step I built a Port-Hamiltonian simulation framework in MATLAB, in order to teach myself the low-level math/physics. It turned out to be extremely slow, and so I could only use it for 2D sims. Here is my...
So this is a neat way to use BowlerStudio. One of my biggest frustrations with downloading a laser cut design is having a different thickness material then they used, a different servo, different bolt and so on. I started with slide bars to control those...
My Sony Mars Bar has arrived, so before I start chronicling my attempts to modernise it, I just thought I'd warble on about the phone's history a bit. 1992 was probably the year when mobile phones first came within the reach of the ordinary UK consumer...
In this section I will show you how to use the CAPSENSE technology to solder components, and using the PSoC 62S2 WiFi BT Pioneer Kit board. Below I show you the schematic diagram. Schematic Diagram Schematic diagram How does it work? Every time I need...
Friday, 16:41, 30/12/2022 Tuesday, 18:01, 10/02/2023 Look, my apologies, but I didn't do anything. I just feel like this project log has become just a lump of frustration and uselessness. It is just... I keep looking at the fricking wall...
I have been beavering away at the munching engine since my last update.I have worked up the concept of using pinch belts mentioned previously and prototyped it with some success.Explanation of the concept:The idea is pretty simple. Two grippy silicone...
