🎢 Wow, the geeks have done it again! They've built a *digital playground* so you can tinker with a double pendulum—because who doesn't want to spend their precious time watching virtual pendulums swing? 🤹‍♂️ Just remember: when you finally understand it, you'll be one step closer to achieving absolutely nothing! 🏆

Okay, I’ve decided to not use these.

Part of my plan was to also build a stand for it, but I was hesitant because I don’t really have the space to store it when not in use.

So I had a rejig of one of my workstations and bolted it to that instead.

Then I knocked up a *really* rough splash plate out of OSB to catch any detritus.

I’m pleased with the original guards I made and the work I put into them, I just changed direction!

Interestingly, this works, but will drain the battery within an hour...

Also, the converter is only converting down, so no 15V or 20V output when the input is 12V.

Oh, and 140W by port is obviously nonsense...

Back at it again… I’ll probably need to abandon this configuration and start over from scratch if I can’t unravel what I did to break it this time… #NixOS #tinkering #breakandfix

Any ideas on how to give my BT Nugget have of a retro-pc feel?

(Gray buttons are on their way!)

Krabička plná radosti 😊
Ještě mi chybí jeden tištěný spoj...

Vnitřek kartonové krabice naplněný růžovými zip pytlíky a jedním stříbrným pytlíkem se součástkami na elektroniku.

Randomly bought a wood and brass compass on eBay - I just liked the look of it!

Started cleaning it up today!

Second built. Both sprayed black.

Being forced to take annual leave 😡.

Building a shroud for my polisher. At the moment it spits any excess out the back and cakes everything.

I started out making a cardboard template for it as it involves curves and angles!

Then I started bending the metal for it. I’m using 0.5mm steel, which are actually kick plates for doors. For the side bends, I scored the outside of the bends and then used a steel angle to bend it round.

Tin snips made easy work of cutting through the side bends to allow an overlap for the main folds, which I then pop-riveted into place. I deviated from the template here and angled the ends rather than keeping them square.

The mounting bracket was fiddly and I first mounted it in the wrong place, so I have some “spare” holes in it!

I intend spraying it and I’ve got some edge trim to go round it.

I’m pleased with how it came out. Hopefully it’ll do what I want it to!

Další tištěný spoj na cestě. Součástky jakbysmet.
Většinu kódu jsem napsal, aniž bych měl možnost ho otestovat. Za dva týdny snad budu mít k dispozici prototyp 😊

Snímek 3D modelu. Barevná krabička s tištěným spojem uprostřed. Z krabičky vystupují 3 LED diody a 2 černé konektory. Na vrchu krabičky je umístěno tlačítko, spodní část krabičky je holá.
