[20 June: 01:00] So I stopped daydreaming about the T9 Plus mini PC inside #Leti and went onto Digikey to confirm prices of components. Unexpectedly, prices have changed. The TLE5501 was over £3 last time I checked, and the AAT101 was...
[18:30, 6 Sep 2023] As you may have noticed from the renders, there hasn't been a screen like there should be. This is mainly because I was going to model the basic idea and then see where a screen could be. Due to the loss of the 580KV BLDC motor, a...
A couple of weeks ago, I received a nice comment from one of the community judges for the Hackaday contests and was amazed when I also noticed that he added TrillSat to his How to Enter a Project into a Hackaday Contest page as an example of what to...
I am building EtherCAT adapter for open motor controllers like ODrive, STMBL, or your next thing. Why that matters We got a known problem in state of art open source robotics. On one side for years we got things like LinuxCNC: multiple axis, builtin...
[22:50] Ok. I've spent the past 2 days drawing up this schematic. The license is going to be under some permissive option but I've just been reading datasheets and connecting the dots so...It's a good thing that I haven't just press "Buy Now" on...
I think 2 or 3 days ago, I was voting for the 2022 3D Printing Industry Awards and this came up: I think the last option was "Other". Now, obviously, I'm voting VLM, but I also wanted to see all the other technologies that were good enough to make...
The next Tetrinsic concept was going to be "Tetrinsic Concept4", but partially because this project needed a hero and partially because I was thinking about the intro music from the 33 second mark of the Fantastic Four: Worlds Greatest Heroes as...
The following image shows an overview of the components used in v0.7: A: RS486 differential transceiverB: I2C connector connected to the EEPROMC: micro-USB port for flashingD: reset buttonE: 5V DC-DC converterF: Maxon position encoder micro-match connectorG:...
The drivetrain (at least, by my definition) includes the mechanical components which move the skateboard forwards. This is the most important part of the build, and will drive the requirements for the electronics. The drivetrain consists of the following:...
03/02/2024, 15:55, Saturday. So, remember when I said "You can't run from the laws of Physics"? Good, because I should listen to myself more. Basically, the human body doesn't use 300 watts, it uses the same amount of energy as any other equipment. If...
Thursday, 06/07/2023, 12:40.(I wrote this project log before copy-pasting it here) Anyway, back to DIY electric motors: I can't simply use two 10:1 reduction ratios (which would give 100:1 in total) simply because if I want to reach 30 rpm with...
21/01/2024, 08:22, Sunday. I'm quite stoopid, I already said I gave up on the project, but I can't, for the life of me, just give up. And besides, like I said on previous logs: looking for artificial muscles/soft actuators is my hobby now....
Sophi Kravitz @Piotr Esden-Tempski welcome! Piotr Esden-Tempski I asked Felix Ruess (the Paparazzi project maintainer) to join us but unfortunately he is not available this week. Same thing with Gareth McMullin from Blackshpere Technologies aka...
