i finished the full scale v1 prototype(left is full size ear, right is the ear used on the previous prototype

so i made v3.5, there’s some rope tension issues, but I think i can move on to make a full scale prototype

I did a bunch of printing today, the v3 servo assembly is done, I still need to remake the v3.5 base because of tolerances

gng, how long does it usually take for the people at hackclub hq to review a design, i really want to ship something during stardance(btw, my slack isnt working, thats why im posting here)(the image is of the final version of the pcb)

so i ran a test, results… not good

alr gng, i finished the firmware! yeppi yay :3

i set up the github page and made the BOM and CPL file because i am not going to hand solder those tiny smd componets

i got done with the cad

the final design has 5 cherry mx switched, 1 rotary encoder, and 1 led
now i just have to make the firmware
i redid the traces again because one of my friends called it “horrible” and they said it was so bad that they would “do it for me”

im having so much fun bro

im gonna abandon all my other projects for like a week so i can actually ship something during stardance, im almost done with cad(pcb design is so fun) i also redid all the traces because it looked like spagetti. I’m DREADING the firmware though
ps: rn i have no motivation for my other projects, im still riding the high from starting a new project

i finished the case & the pcb
i have 6 switches and 3 leds
i feel so much more motivation for this project tbh

I just redid the entire thing
alr gng so i just redid the entire project, honestly it was pretty easy, still no website tho, sorry about that. I also got multitreading to work also yeah idk what to put oh yeah it also prints equations for the circles now

here’s the v3 prototype design, i’ve printed a few test prints but i still need to figure out how to hold the bowden tubes

i finished the v3 design, i still need to buy the ptfe tubes for the bowden mechanisms. V3 is much more compact than v2 and this time the servo is actually secured to the servo mount (turns out you needs to click “force send heartbeat” to update your time for the onshape wakatime addon)

I made my first prototype, I’ll make the v3 design next with a bowden cable, the AMA with jared issacman was very fun.(if the video doesnt work for you, there’s a image on the second slide) ps: do you guys think 2 cables in a single ptfe tube will work and not get tangled. Oh yeah, and should i harvest this thing for parts

I accidentally posted this already in my other project, i already deleted that devlog. This is the v2 design for the prototype, v1 was kinda unpractical, this version only uses 1 servo. I’ll start printing it tomorrow

ps: how do you export lookout timelapses

So the code for the visuals only works for 2 circles, however, the math part actually works

this thing does not work
like it kinda works sometimes
I’ll probably just work on my other project
it is a lot easier to get motivated to work on this one thought

devlog #2: I continued designing the prototype, here’s a picture :3 (how do i upload lookout time lapses)

I started on the prototype design, still need to work on it more. I also need to learn how the heck a microcontroller works
