28 January 2015, 11:10 UTColder robot
Recently I started up an older Robot:
- CLOOS Romat 76 (DC motors, 6 joints industrial robot)
- CLOOS Rotrol 16 (16 bit control unit, currently 7 joints - the 7th axis is simulated/got lost somewhere)
- CLOOS GLC 403 PA-TS (welding equipment)
The robot system was built in 25.01.1989 (makes it 26 years by the time I write this post), but it has less than 1400 working hours, and still works great as you can see in the next video:

A looong time ago I got interested in trying EMC (the Enhanced Machine Controller, later to be rewritten as emc2, and even later rebranded as LinuxCNC) on Windows..

17 October 2013, 20:12 UTCbbb_parport
As PC printer ports are getting harder and harder to find, an alternative for cheapish CNC control needs to be found in order for linuxcnc to keep working, and growing.
One of the most promising platforms lately is the Beaglebone Black, and still missing was a convenient parallel port replacement for it...
13 September 2011, 8:38 UTCbig IGBT
I had to check an IGBT which was blown up, and for the first time I found one which can be taken apart. I found the inside worth sharing ;)
27 February 2011, 10:46 UTCStabilizer
Since getting the 60D, I started reading/watching/getting more into shooting video.
Besides various tips & tricks, I especially appreciate helping tools to make shooting more easy/interesting/artistic/professional. One of the more important directions is stabilization of the camera during movement, and there are a lot of designs that try to accomplish that.
The design I'm trying to work with is found on a couple of devices (for example the Tiffen Merlin), and has been replicated before very nicely (DIY Steadicam Merlin).
I'm attempting something similar, but building plans for it in the process (both 2D and 3D)...
