The design models have been 3D printed and assembled. We made two devices, only the outer casings are different in the two models. One is printed on a SLS 3d printer (Nylon PA-12) and another one with an FDM 3D printer (PLA Black).Both the models are...
I've added a whole bunch of new functionality into the CPU core:All branch instructions. I had just JMP in the past, now I have:JLTJLEJEQ (tested)JHEJGTJNE (tested)JNC (tested - need rechecking)JOC (tested - need rechecking)JNOJLJHJOPNow the ALU supports...
There is no such thing as a DWIM.DWIM = Do What I MeanIt's the classic "joke instruction" which illustrates why computers are so "unnatural" to mere humans : they can't do telepathy and they require clear, unambiguous and effective code sequences, using...
Lee allowed a small smile to creep onto his face after that joke. He was going to need more than a broken nose for the corporation to clear the expensive shuttle extraction. Kenta stood with her hands tightly clasped together, biting her lower lip below...
Ending up with a working device seems unnatural... I might need to fix it until it's broken...!So, future enhancements:I could reduce the size of the side GUI buttons a bit and then increase the width of the frame. The GUI layouts are defined in xml...
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...
This last weekend was productive and the major portions of the frame are now complete. After attaching the engine mounting plate to the frame, the next step was assembling the lower frame. The lower frame is similar to the lower ring of the upper frame,...
How did I come up with the idea to do a kinetic sculpture?I went to LVL1 last night to finish documenting Alien Operation. I can't be there for long without getting interested in the projects other people are working on. Joseph Clagg was talking to Jose...
I should spend a bit of words explaining what's inside a stepper to understand how they can be made to move. As a generalization, a stepper has a magnet on a shaft and 4 coils in a "plus" pattern around the perimeter. When a coil is energized as an electromagnet,...
As I reported last time, with no load, the pilot light stays on at about half brightness because of leakage from the triac. I was able to measure something like 60 volts with no load. Well, the way to fix that is to add a parallel load to lower the voltage....
PreparationsIt's good to know what you want to achieve! Here's a few things to keep in mind:get your product as clean as possible. Pics will show every spec of dust...have your angle in mind. You want your pics show all the important details!do you want...
For unnecessary aesthetic reasons, I want the frame to be flush with the wall; I think it looks neater. This introduces the problem of letting the sound out. The Fire has two speakers which, once in the frame, are facing down. With the box...
I have been documenting the progress since the start of the project by posting updates as stories on my Instagram. You can find the story highlights here Since the teacher caught me due to the unnatural regularity and neatness of a machine written text,...
In previous update I said, that if fast charging of field is impossible for now, I gonna try to find a way how to slow down discharge rate. I found one, so here it is. Interaction between a coil and a capacitor is kinda interesting one: coil itself tries...
There are many concerns regarding what materials we choose to use for the clams. We have to assume that they will be lost and that animals will try to eat them. Additionally, an eventual goal is to develop clams that are benthic and can perform long-term...
