Good news, everyone! Documentation has taken a back seat to getting things done, I hope understandably so. So I’m going to stick to a briefer play-by-play for now. Though things are coming together: Was rather stuck on how to motorize the magazine, dreading...
I've decided to take stakes a little higher and prepared bigger version of previous prototype. New one used Texas Instruments TAS5805M DAC, which is a big upgrade actually - It have high power stage, producing up to 23W per each of 2 channels (yeah!)...
I have had this vortex86 sitting around for over a year now, It was given to me by my work after it had been removed from a XY glue machine due to it being flaky. Its still flaky and will produce a goblin fart error now and then, but for the most...
Yeah, so... We're still still working through the prints (see pic below)...Aluminium extrusions cut to length...Most of the first round of orders from AliExpress have arrived...Ordered a bunch more things related to powering the beast...At some stage,...
2020-12-12 Bought this from the Pi Shop in town, for £25. This might be useful for remotely monitoring events, either in real time.It is rated 1080 lines at 30 fps, and 720 at 60 fps, which should be plenty. The PiCamera box has a link to https://www.okdo.com/gettingstarted/,...
This project consists of two microcontrollers working together, an ESP8222 (lock) and an Attiny45 (key). The general idea is that the Key contains a secrete code that must be communicated with the lock in order for the lock to perform an action. This...
I've got a small pile of LM386 amplifiers that will never see the light of day. Way back when, I loved building little amps for things and somehow got it in to my skull that I should have stock of these sitting around. Along with some LM741 op-amps....
This beast is going to draw "a lot of power" and turning it on might create some significant inrush current... I should automate the startup sequence : turn the power on for each section, one by one, then toggle all the CCPBRL control signals to set...
This looks overly complicated, and it is. Mostly because I need to learn the maths involved with flexible architecture, but also because its the only way I can skin this beast without using proprietary software.The skin geometry is only the beginning.In...
