@geerlingguy @intlinux an open-ended riser PCB might help to give some space for a heatsink or additional airflow

making some spinny things

[Jordan Cormack @Jordan_Cormack]

@Gigawipf Yeah that's basically what I ran into. I did think of also tilting the sensor towards the lens to avoid the shallow angles at the edges, but never tried it

@TLAlexander What work is left to do?

Something keeps setting off motion alerts on one of my security cameras...

@colerise I'd love the Polaroid!

@RoboFoundry @ncmreynolds Motor mounts and stand corners are both 3D printed (neither design quite good enough to share yet!). The stand is 4x 300mm and 100mm 2020 extrusion with standard 90° connectors.

Organisation is a constant evolving battle!

[Jordan Cormack @Jordan_Cormack]

@RoboFoundry @ncmreynolds I made a stand from some spare 2020 extrusion and some 3D printed corners that cradle my motor mounts.

It seems to do a pretty good job at holding it securely when bench testing!

[Jordan Cormack @Jordan_Cormack]

@jarkman not really! it's got a massive payload, so it could be used for a bunch of stuff. Although I do like the idea of using it as a mobile drone take-off and landing platform

[Jordan Cormack @Jordan_Cormack]

that might need fixing

[Jordan Cormack @Jordan_Cormack]

@jarkman This was using the original electronics that came with the 'hoverboards', but flashed with different firmware. Then there's a teensy to send motor commands to both driver boards over serial, with some ESPs for remote control.

Exploring the @BristolRobotLab today with the @UnitreeRobotics A1.

[HEARTSbrl @HEARTSbrl]

This is the map we made today of the BRL, we were interested to see the accumulated error and misalignments. Had a few slips on a slippery part of the floor which did not add too much more error.

A 3D printer 3D printing its own little 3D printed feet

[Jordan Cormack @Jordan_Cormack]

I have almost finished building my homemade 3D printer...who want's to sort out this wiring for me?

[Jordan Cormack @Jordan_Cormack]

when you realise you are almost 3 years into a PhD and need to have a thesis finished soon

[Jordan Cormack @Jordan_Cormack]

@weasdown Is makerbeam XL 15x15mm? I'm using 20x20 extrusion for a little rover which can support my body weight, so I imagine 15x15 extrusion would be fine for 25kg. I'm also using the same motor drivers you mentioned in your other tweet, which work well!

@_dominiclewis @RussianMemesLtd It's true
