What did you build today (Pictures) ?

[alexsh1]

@dbemowsk It is a good printer I suppose. I only used PLA and just did not spent too much time trying to find the right settings. Given that a few prints I ordered were also warped at the first run, I concluded that this is still at the DIY stage.
I'll probably get a printer when technology is going to be more advanced.

[dbemowsk]

@alexsh1 NO problem. I realize they are not for everyone.

Finally, I can join this discussion!
Today I drew a scheme of my first device! This is a system to protect against water leakage. I also posted it in the "hardware" section. Link.

A temp-node on 2xAA. Also a sneak-peak on EasyPCB rev 10...

@sundberg84 Which microscope are you using, looking 8:07 into your video?

[sundberg84]

@bjacobse it's the cheapest one on eBay with the software cheese on Linux. I think it's a replica on Andostar x500 so search Usb microscope Andostar and you will find.

@sundberg84 very professional video with multiple camera angles. Great work!

I've been busy this week building my first native android app in (nativescript-vue). It will control my new car charging station (HALO Wallbox). The charging port will automatically turn on when I'm closing in to our house and turn off off when leaving the area.

[NeverDie]

@hek Is that to prevent others from using it?

[hek]

@NeverDie, yes, and to have a small project to learn app development.

[GertSanders]

One of three ongoing projects:

lasercut box
atmega1284p based
DS3231 rtc (very accurate and 2 alarms!)
LDR
20 by 4 LCD, two sizes of numbers, menu driven setup
buzzer
leds for moodlighting
doppler for proximity detection
encoder for scrolling through values (for setting time)
buttons with LED feedback for interactivity
mp3 player
most interface objects MySensorised :-)

This entry is to boost my energy, because we are still a long way from home (pcb is still not made, focus is now on prototype and software).

[NeverDie]

I love the design of the air vent on the righthand side of your laesrcut box. Does that pattern have a name?

[GertSanders]

@neverdie nope, but it is inspired by oriental frames, I just made that based on what I saw on one of my cabinets (which I bought while living in Singapore).

[GertSanders]

@neverdie I will publish the project once it has advanced a bit more (still need to design the PCB for this box).

[mickecarlsson]

@sundberg84 how is the rev10 progress going? I am about to order a batch of EasyPCB but want the new bells and whistles :-)

[NeverDie]

@gertsanders Cool. You might like this pattern also then:

[dbemowsk]

@neverdie That's cool. Kind of like an overlapping honeycomb design.

[sundberg84]

@mickecarlsson except I have not yet tested the new things on the back (signing and extra flash) the boards are working. I will try to test the last things before May is over and the publish.

If you want to order I can offcourse email you the Gerber's but on your own risk.

My first experience with the board is that it's performing better than Rev 9 with the new position if the hardware. Also the ground plane helps.

[GertSanders]

@neverdie that is a nice pattern. I found that these things need time to draw. If anyone has a DXF file, I would love to try it.

[mickecarlsson]

@sundberg84 thanks for the offer, I can wait for the final, no worries. Do you have a list of the new components added on the back?
