So, this is our Solidoodle, trying to print layer upon layer of nothing. That is not a good thing.



I shut it down soon after this.

Will likely show up on Saturday afternoon to iterate on the Bluetooth earpiece, and maybe try to make my Arduino and Raspberry Pi talk to each other via MQTT.



Will be at GLOSSY in Sunday 2-4 at Star City, and if y'all wanna show up, that's be cool of you. If after, you want to follow me to GLC for some Open Hack, even better.



Might show up early on Monday. Might not. Remains to be seen.

Stopped by to start up another pass on Kerry's Bluetooth thing, and found an octopus head being printed. Sean was mesmerized.



Interested in an Open Hack on Saturday? Early Hack on Monday? Pre-meeting Memorial Day cookout?

I'd like it if the curves were a bit more curved, but I'm liking this so far. I'll print, test, then maybe print again in another color, then put on Thingiverse.

I saw this and thought of +Chuck Schwarz . Heating the bed is always a concern, and if the power came elsewhere but the control went through the Solidoodle, I could see things heating up better.



I'm sure we could dig up a laptop power supply for this. Thoughts?

For my boys' high school, "computer education" was Photoshop and PowerPoint, and I was offended. I'm glad to see some real computing get into the core.

I have it! I know what will I need to bend my LCD to! Add a LoDo and some magnets and make a name tag! Top line says my name, second line switches between a few possibilities, like twitter handle and such.



I have a plan, and now need a LoDo and FTDI.

Arduino: The Hard Way.



A blog documenting my educational quest for programming Arduino, using C, under Linux, without a GUI...



Should be a VERY nice "For Dummies" for any Geek starting from NOTHING but basic Linux command-line knowledge and basically knowing how to get to the "hello-world" point on an "Intro to Arduino" book.
