Now that winter is slowly and cruelly creeping upon us, my lackadaisical project efforts have started to give way to a bit of focus. Over the next few weeks, there should hopefully be some big progress (and write-ups) on my projects, that include: * RC Platform (aka UAV/Rover) * RC Hovercraft...
The mission; to develop an Arduino based PWM mixer that can control dual-motor powered vehicles. Having bought two RC vehicles that rely upon dual-motor control, in the process of stripping out their original low-spec electronics, I was in desperate need for a mixer to take the steering and throttle channel...
Having a 4-day weekend is a definite recipe for hobby productivity... Over the Jubilee weekend/week I managed to push forward a number of projects, including; the OO scale card modelling, the RC dual-motor controller and a couple of new projects. One of the new projects is Arduino based and...
Well then, after a complete strip-down and check over of the new vacuum former, I clamped down, heated up, vacuumed and released. Rather than waste a tonne of new sheet, I reused the first sheet - trying to figure out the heat settings, the timings and the vacuum capacity. I...
Well, if I've got to grow older, then I deserve cool stuff to make up for it. So, roll on my newly acquired C R Clarke 1210 vacuum former [http://www.crclarke.co.uk/Products/VF/1210.html]. Photos to follow, but for the uninitiated, it's a plastic former that...
Having been swamped with things over the past few months, I've neglected my blogs and any form of self-promotion (work purposes, I'm not an attention starved sociopath - yet). So, spending a couple of hours this afternoon, I've updated both blogs (I'm afraid this counts as updating this blog), and...
