Made some minor changes and printed the parts for the button prototype.The sensor bit is some aluminum foil spray glued to the TPU pad.The Bad:The light pipe is terrible. Nice bright spot and very little actual light piping. I think I need more thickness...
Good news for EMDrive V3: Tests confirm directional force :)I got the thermal issue under control and was able to reproduce several tests in both directions of the cavity with corresponding results.It´s still not a definite proof - but reproducible...
I was thinking that's a pretty big bit of AL foil there, I wonder what it's capacitance would be (relatively speaking).I still have no idea as my meter sucks, but I was able to measure it changing with the Teensy.Code:void setup() { Serial.begin (115200);...
Now for some objective measurements of the OHMni-Stick's sensitivity, specifically the force and displacement requirements. To accurately assess its performance, I conducted some initial tests using an IMADA DPS-11 digital force gauge in combination...
We bought a 2,000 lb load cell to start testing the clamping pressure of our vise collection. And, to compare those vises with The Maker Vise prototypes 1 & 2.[ Full Results Here ]First off.. we tested the clamping pressure of a popular hobby vise brand:...
Remember how after we had scrapped the PS2 joystick, we had narrowed our joystick options down to two? Well, we’ve chosen the one to move forward with.Above: A picture of the joystick module with the mouthpiece attached.Below: The bottom half of the...
Sometimes problems seem to swirl like a hurricane, ideas seem to build up a pressure in my head and then something happens, a singular problem can bring everything into focus and then everything seems to collapse down into a single clear solution.And...
Well Today I planned to make some videos of testing one of the newest units.. After flying some RC planes in the field to warm up, all of the planes are 3d printed (https://www.eclipson-airplanes.com/airplanes)It started to rain, in fact my maiden...
NOTE: This is actually wrong! and I explain why in my next log.Explanation: Going along with my hanging spring analogy from last time, I can see that the net force between the inductor, and gravity would equal 0. That means that the magnetic force...
The hardware for measuring the touch sensor and for communicating with the computer and the stimulation interface of the TouchYou needed to meet some requirements, for example being portable and having wireless communication. For reading the touch sensor,...
Now I've added an LED to the breadboard, connected to digital pin 13 on the Arduino. This LED is controlled by the FSR measurement. If the reading exceeds 400, the LED will come on, below 400 and it will be off. This is the earliest example of...
I started to look more closely at the centripetal force equation, since I've been wary of raising the Gyrofan speed higher with its full mass, as I didn't know exactly how much force was being generated. I'd like to ramp the thing up to get appreciable...
Hello everyone! This update has been long overdue, but with the premiere of my new video on Prototype 4, I thought it would be the perfect time to update you all on the addition of FORCE FEEDBACK to my VR Haptic Gloves!!!These gloves now allow you...
