  I switched back to 8G of ram from 16G and wow my system is totally fast again. WTF!

• Post #4455279

  Fail, I CANNOT get myself on track with a robot today, I only have today and tomorrow to finish (well, and start) the weekly robot.

• Post #4434487

  well printables.com seems to have just decided to block my browser, so I guess I'm not posting there anymore....

  I might try a voltage doubler and linear regulator on the servo controller to clean the power.

• Post #4368205

  ok, motors mounted and linkages attached. now I just need to fix the power issue on my servo controller!

• Post #4368189

  The drive linkages for the servos will be made of straightened out Apple reset/eject tools.

• Post #4368179

  ok, time to glue in the servos, I changed my mind on the mounting style. The idea is that all the precision stuff is 3d printed and the rest can be cardboard, so this is a frame that hold the servo.

• Post #4364668

  Here are my new parts for mounting the servo motors, I do hope this works out.

• Post #4364579

  I put a hex on the cams so I could re-position them, but this isn't the best neutral position I could have eneded up with and the hex is a bit too crude to allow me a better position. oh well, I'll use a 12 point next time.

• Post #4364477

  ok, the extra holes are made and its glued to the 3d printed bearings.

• Post #4363066

  @mike@mikecoats.social @seeedstudio@seeedstudio.social erm, want something you configure with a set of segment distances and it calculates the servo angle for you given a specified endpoint distance?

• Post #4361804

  @mike@mikecoats.social @seeedstudio@seeedstudio.social ah yes, but how can you control the servo movements? is the idea to program the movements on the esp32, or do you have a servo control webpage on there, or is there external software(s)? all of the above?

  This works good for patterning. spray the back of a paper pattern (from a 1:1 cad program even) and it becomes a temporary sticker to put on what your cutting out. stick on, cut part, remove. Also good for locating holes to be drilled. (print X on locations and hit with punch)

• Post #4360777

  ok, base plate is painted, hopefully that dies quickly.

• Post #4360736

  ok, I have to get last weeks robot together. The cams I printed last night are ok, thats a good start.

• Post #4347852

  Ideally, the new controller lets me operate 6 servo channels, this is due to the lack of adc channels on the ch32, otherwise I would do 8 channels. It needs a LOT more capacitors!

• Post #4347197

  I didn't even get all the parts for this weeks robot designed/printed. This is a set of cams to replace the gears I used on this leg last week. about to start the print...

• Post #4344935

  ok, I'm kinda failing on this weeks robot, as I have the controller , but have not technically built the robot yet. the ch32v003 is MUCH more sensitive to power noise than an AVR.

• Post #4338605

  why is my computer faster with 8G of ram than it is with 16G? its not even using the other memory yet. The timings are the same...

• Post #4336155

  potatoes!!! This is from 2 (of a lot) of the planters I did this year.

• Post #4336127

  I need 5 of me - 1 tending garden - 1 tending yard - 1 building robots - 1 developing tech - 1 equipment maintenance.

  Trust the internet kids, nothing could possibly go wrong.

• Post #4262540

  GARDEN TATOES! :]

• Post #4262470

  today I also made some progress getting the replacement frame brace for my truck out of the parts truck.

• Post #4262449

  For the motor controller I'm building for the weekly robot, I got this decided. For the connection from the hand controller to the servo breakout box (serial) I'm going to use an RJ45 with an ethernet pinout. the - side of the signal pair will be ground.

  yesterday I got some more barrels ready to store the potato soil in. this keeps weeds out of them for the winter.

• Post #4262338

  I fell behind in my posts... yesterday I painted some engine parts...

• Post #4180450

  And what I didn't make I have in storage, somewhere. I found a good case, I think I know how I want my multi-channel servo controller to work! Hardware gathered, need to work on software.

• Post #4180406

  Consider, if you will, a maker not bound by time. A being who has been making so long that creation has blurred into everyday existence. Imagine that this traveler—you—have already forged every object needed for any project now before you. Not recently, not yesterday, but somewhere in the vast, unmarked expanse of the forever you have existed. And now, all that remains is the search: not for something new, but for something forgotten. A relic of your own infinite past, waiting patiently to be...

  FLOPPY CABLES! OOOOOOooooooooooooooo... @gloriouscow@oldbytes.space
