Thursday, 08:31, 24/08/2023 Well, morning. By the time that I actually start making the exo/endo-skeleton, it will be buried under 3983932382 project logs. ... But I think this is relevant, because I need to talk about Dielectric Elastomers...
Basically, is a rectangular plane base with a CNC mechanism on it (ball-screw, two guides, cart and four linear bearings); the CNC simple mechanism is, actually, replacing an expensive actuator; on sides there are two triangular rods...
Today, the NeuroBytes project takes its first baby step into the 21st century.Okay, ignore the extremely sketchy construction techniques. It's an STM32F0 Discovery board, chosen due to its extremely low cost (under $10) and built-in ST-LINK programmer....
An Integer Version of the DemodulatorAs the code will be ported to a lowly Arduino using C code, I first looked at if I could use 16 bit signed integers. The answer is strictly yes. Strictly in that the 32 bit result of a 16 bit multiplication is not...
The Binary Encoder The first Working Digital Computer module described in the book was the Binary Encoder. Here's what it looked like: It's job was to accept decimal input from the operator and convert it into binary codes the computer could use. ...
Hello every, welcome to Hack Chat! Today we've got not one but four hosts - CuriousMarc, Ken Shirriff, Mike Stewart, and Carl Claunch. They've done a lot of cool retro hacks, chief among them getting a real Apollo Guidance Computer working again for...
Turing Machines 101 The Turing machine was invented in 1936 by Alan Turing. By providing a mathematical description of a very simple device capable of arbitrary computations, he was able to prove the properties of computation in general. A...
Top 3 struggles I have with robots and how this project solved them. 1) Cost too much. Mostly because of expensive servos and high end processors. - Designed a cheap driver/sensor board to read the absolute angle of the motor joint and run the...
So I've recently got a fully electrically and mechanically complete CAD model of Tetrinsic and was, once again, doing some research for Tetent, mainly because I don't like how this featureless flat face looks: It turns out that the eteeController...
Story When people think about asset trackers, typically they think about tracking things that should move: planes, trains, and automobiles. What we don't think about as frequently is keeping track of things that shouldn't move: statues,...
(this project log is looking like a schizophrenic conversation with myself, bruh) Project Log 52: 3D modelling Attempt 7. (I'm previously writting this on a notepad because I'm testing if not creating a project log helps my anxiety. It is ironic...
THE DAY AFTER......As we walk casually to the workshop, and discuss the various quad copter projects, and my old Traxxas RC truck which I have up the bench to repair it's glow engine and trying to find other radioactive sources to test geiger counters...
15/10/2023, 09:49, Sunday. Well, good morning. I was planning on making this project log on 26 of november, which would be the 1 year anniversary of this waste of time of a project. But I will make this now because I need to take this...
