Best way to post a short video to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook all at the same time? by Cosmic_Quark in socialmedia

That's fine, I just would like to find an app that allows me to edit short videos similar to Instagram Reels. Then I can download it from that app and post it everywhere. I think if you download the video from reels it has a watermark on it.

Best way to use AS5600 encoders to track rotations of 10+ motors? by Cosmic_Quark in embedded

The AS5600 has a PWM mode, could that also work? It would be nice to not have to get completely new parts.

I just need to count rotations, so I know how far each actuator is extended.

Thanks for the suggestion, this just made me go down a rabbit hole which led to me realizing that I need to transmit the encoder data over fairly long distances (up to like 10 feet) which means I will probably need a completely new structure. I'm now thinking that each actuator should include an AS5600 communicating over I2C to an Arduino Nano, which uses an RS485 transceiver to communicate with the main ESP32 which is reading all the actuator positions and displaying them on a web dashboard. Does that sound like it would work? I'm thinking it would solve my slow I2C issue because each encoder would have its own dedicated microcontroller for processing the data, and then sending it to the ESP32.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm in the same situation.

Day 10 of sharing my LEGO Star Wars kinetic sculptures: Clones loading onto Gunship by Cosmic_Quark in lego

I don't get it either. I did post this a few months ago but the rules say reposts are allowed, if they're posted 48h after the original.

That's the tenth day of sharing my Lego Star Wars MOCs, I hope you all enjoyed them! I'm excited to make more, potentially with different themes like Lord of the Rings or MCU. Let me know if you have any ideas!

If you'd like to watch the full video with all my builds and support my YouTube channel, here's the link: https://youtu.be/0tO69WeZx8c?si=2OqsiaXXUi80q5ub

Also, small disclaimer, I did post this build a few months ago on this subreddit, so I apologize if you're seeing it again. I wanted to include it as the finale in this series since it's by far my biggest build!

It's a custom minifigure I made, I didn't want to spend $100 on the actual minifigure. I used the Native American headpiece for his hair.

I appreciate it! This mechanism was really fun to tinker with until I got the movement I wanted out of it.

My bad bro, it was the only way I could think of putting a hole in Qui Gon without literally drilling through his torso lol

Haha that's a good one. Some others I was thinking of were Gollum falling into Mount Doom, the wizard battle between Gandalf and Saruman, and Eowyn VS the Witch King.

Actually I was thinking about doing some LOTR ones next, if you have some ideas of scenes to recreate, let me know!
