  • My Space is Too Big

  • The PCBs arrived today! They look great:So of course I had to try and insert all the switches and keycaps to see how they fit. The fit is (intentionally) tight, as I made them a bit denser than on a normal keyboard, but they seem to all fit properly:With...
  • HP28S Battery Door Prosthetic

  • Shown below is a view of the back side of the calculator and the inside of the tray and the hook and loop fastening tape on both. The extra bit of tape up in the upper left corner of the tray serves as a spacer to support the battery door without any...
  • Structure Assembly

  • For the actual gimbal structure, I used Actobotics aluminum plating and pattern adapters from Servo City. The entire Actobotics line uses 6/32 threads for everything that is threaded (except the weird stuff). For fasteners, I used the new 6/32 stainless...
  • The Actual Parts

  • CADed parts are an ideal representation of the design you have in your head. CAD sets the bar. You just have to reach it. 3D printed parts usually come out a bit off and require a some modification if you are not generous with your design tolerances. How...
  • The ANSISO keyboard

  • Starting from scratch means to solve the very basic problems first. For me it was the keyboard layout and the spacing of switches. As I planned to craft the keyboard by hand and without any tools like cnc, laser cutter or 3D printers I had to find a...
  • Physical Build details

  • I am going to break up the project into three parts.  Physical build, Arduino work bench sensors, and lastly integration of all the systems.  For the Physical build I first needed to find a toilet to work with.  I went to eBay, I found...
  • The Earth - A Travel Logger

  • First step: Buy a globe and cut in in half using (for example) the beloved Dremel. Sorry for the product placement, but I guess whenever it's deserved it all right... The equator serves as a great cutting line :) There is some nasty smoke coming from...
  • Manufacturing the Legs + Chassis

  • We spent most of the weekend manufacturing the femur part of the legs + the new chassis, along with the coxa joints (where the legs meet the chassis).  This post includes documentation on how this was done.  (I apologize about the quality of...

  • Two steps forward, one step burnt.

  • Today was all focused on testing out the braking effects of a pulsed rectified sine wave on a motor. But to do such a test, we needed a circuit which would be able to switch fully rectified mains at a frequency several times higher than 60Hz. Our first...
  • Mechanical Keyboard or Bust

  • At this point, it seemed to me that the entire project hinged on the viability of slotting in a new keyboard. If I couldn't get better input on this thing, there was no sense putting any more time and money into it.Now I've previously said that the PreComputer...
  • ST3Mbot

  • STEM Sussex Big Bang Fair requires loud, bright attractions to engage with the visiting students. ST3Mbot meets those needs. He started life as an old flip top bin, that had a nice Chrome lid (or head). I chopped the bin in half with a dremel, and welded...
  • DIY Oil Filter Cutter

  • I used 1/4" thick bar stock as the base of the cutter. I laid out the initial design using a black sharpie and once I was happy with the design, I used copper sharpie to trace over the cut lines so that I could easily see and determine which lines were...
