Before starting the project I did some research and found many great instructions so I'll not go into detail about the topic but rather share some pictures and comments.---------- more ----------After using an Arduino or even a programmer to power my...
What is it?The PiRyte Mini ATX PSU allows you to power your Raspberry Pi and project boards using an inexpensive desktop power supply. Additionally, it enforces a controlled shutdown so that the Pi's operating system can properly close down without corrupting...
I intend to create a wiring diagram later in the project so that I can refine and finalise the electronics before I post to help avoid confusion. I have got a working set of electronics to run all 3 axis. This includes a relay to turn the main spindle...
Here's a summary of my power supply problems:With only 1 or 2 drives, I powered the thing off USB. No problems.When more drives and percussion came in, USB no longer gave enough power. I tried to use an external power supply, and this helped, but not...
The plan is to design and build a digital bench power supply. As the starting point we have the following:a project metallic enclosure from an old ATX supplya microcontroller, the choice is Atmega8 (or for extended functionality, such as Bluetooth/HC-05,...
[update 1/15/2016] Periodically, I notice in my email that someone has "liked" or "skulled" this project. Awesome, but... sadly, as mentioned in the last log update (more than half a year old, as of this intro), I pretty thoroughly killed this power...
I knew I wanted to build a Cyberdeck and saw another one using an old portable CRT TV. So I started searching E-Bay looking for a TV to use. One of the first TV's I saw was this 1980 Hitachi K-1100 5" B&W portable TV. To me it just screams...

Fred the Ripper Fred the Ripper (FtR) is a CD-ripping (or recording if you want) robot based largely on the acrylic "kickstarter" version of the UFactory's Uarm 4-axis desktop robot. I added a few parts and other tricks to make a robot that can pretty...
