Makers! It's time to share... what have you been hacking on or making?

Reply to this email with a brief run-down of whatever projects have been
keeping you busy, either at the space or elsewhere. Include a photo or
link if you can!

Some custom Arduino based (SMD) boards.. with Audio playback/microSD card socket:  Both boards are more or less the same, but one is to be used for a specific Star Wars prop (DC-17m prop).. (so some of the already broken out pins, have just been grouped together for easier connection)

 

 

 

A new PCB/motherboard for my Barbot project (trimming down the prototyping/spaghetti wire mess to a solid PCB now with screw terminals..etc

I've been working on some large 7 segment displays consisting of laser
cut parts, 3D printed parts, and NeoPixel sticks.

It's not quite done yet (I've been way too busy doing paying work) but
I'll get back to it eventually.

I rewired Arrakis and mounted the electronics on a hinged panel that can fold up under the table when I'm not doing maintenance on it. It went from 3 power supplies and 2 buck converters to 1 power supply, one buck converter, two protection circuits, and an RGB LED controller. It doesn't sound like it, but it's much simpler now.

There's a blog post on the new stuff here.

Nice!

 

 

I finally ordered/used a similar power supply unit for my project (which was new to me)   Had both 12 v and 5v sources to use.

 

Also used the same snap/terminals!  J

First test run of the combat robot, just a drive and spin test.  This is a 220 lb machine running about 1/3 top speed.

Centrifugal force bent the motor and wheel bearing plates, so its getting stripped to add some reinforcement.

That could cause some serious damage... where're all the saw blades & pointy things going to go?
