making some spinny things

@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

@Jordan_Cormack Thats a very interesting approach to move the sensor in 2D to cover a larger range. Seems to provide a really good resolution as well from simple sensors. I assume the lens quality itself and shallow angles at the edges might be challenging for normal sensors.

I developed a portable linear scanning medium format camera capable of taking 16b 80000x40000 (3200MP) images. Project video finally published: youtu.be/KSvjJGbFCws Using a reverse engineered line ccd and raspi5+piolib #raspberrypi #diy #photography #Camera

@TLAlexander What work is left to do?

Curious: I find myself with no time to complete my RP2350 integrated motor controller. I have a kicad project started. Would anyone be interested in paid open source work to help me complete it?

@colerise I'd love the Polaroid!

Original Polaroid OneStep, which inspired the very first Instagram icon when it was in Beta. Bought this in 2010 when we killed it with a new, more original icon.

cleaning out the camera workshop! posting free stuff below - claim it if you want it 🧵:

@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 @ncmreynolds Looks really awesome, what are those four corner pieces? are they off-the-shelf or 3D printed? I like your organization of the tools as well!! Mine is much more adhock and always looking for some ideas to organize so thanks for sharing the pictures.

What could possibly go wrong.

@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!

@ncmreynolds I remember now, saw it in this video of mining robot - youtube.com/watch?v=PvkYFZ… around 1:11 min mark.

@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 Ta. And is there a Cunning Plan for the thing ?

that might need fixing

@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.

@Jordan_Cormack It was looking good up till the end, though. What are you using for controllers ?

Exploring the @BristolRobotLab today with the @UnitreeRobotics A1.

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

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

@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!

Mechanical engineering question. I'm thinking about making a pickup/dump truck style robot with a payload capacity of about 25kg. Would Makerbeam XL be strong enough to make the chassis frame from, or should I use something else?

@_dominiclewis @RussianMemesLtd It's true
