..soaking some beans soon yes hopefully!!! I guesse this has dragged on a bit esp with adding the robot and pan /tilt etc. the timelapse itself is happening OK a good few weeks ago. then again as I been out of the country a fair bit in the last weeks, I would not have started it up then anyway. Need...
lol. its true I have some pretty strange things lying around, from years of tinkering. I think the FET debuggers I used to learn something of the MSP430's a while back when I wanted to convert my rc heli to a brushless motor tail instead of the brushed one. and I had one of the much bigger msp430's ...
got few more things done on the timelapse robot. been sorting out the camera's pan/tilt system recently. I've got a couple of servos to use and tried to drive them off the arduino but was a bit unhappy with the resolution and jitter from the arduino. it can do 8 bit pwm, so 256 steps in the servo ra...
sorry folks been real busy last week or two, hardly been around to do much :( Have got a few things moving though in the last couple days, now I have the basis of the robot platform for the main cam. this tank-bot is set up to nudge itself backwards by small amounts, so over the grow it will basical...
Looking very nice teetee! With the base have you supported it underneath at all? wonder if you could wedge a wooden block under there to carry the weight to the floor. dunno if there is room to get your jack under it and take the weight to slide the block under there or something similar.... plank o...
Yes dwcrigger, quite likely, why i say to jam it on then try power up and see what happens, might get lucky. Otherwise it would need something bit more complicated to replicate the button being pressed a few seconds after power up, can be rigged also but bit more effort, prbly 555 timer circuit will...
yo teetee, sorry, while before I caught up with this. Looked over the pcb, looks like the connection you identified is the right one to hardwire the switch to ON. Not sure if the thing will operate like you want with that button jammed ON though, sometimes these things are programmed to see pulses e...
