Much has been happening on the 3D printing front. A few delays in sourcing parts (as will be explained), but otherwise things are going smoothly. After some research and help from the donor of the seed parts, I chose the Ecksbot [http://blog.eckertech.com/] as the basis for my...
As a redux of a plan I had in May, I'm now back on track with building a 3D printer. Spurred on by the release of MakerBot's awesome Replicator 2 [http://store.makerbot.com/replicator2.html], it was either saving up and waiting until later next...
In the absence of a worthwhile post, I thought it best to do some hero worship and shortlist a handful of photographers who's works I adore. In no particular order: * Steve Prue [http://www.teamrockstarimages.com/] (aka TeamRockstar... Tumblr [http://tmronin.tumblr.com/] *) * Corwin Prescott [http://corwinprescott.com/...
My day-to-day work tends to get split three ways between information science, information technology and control technology. But the one underlying thing that's common to all and massively neglected across all, is good User Experience or "UX" design. Too often developers excuse horrific processes and user...
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...
