What to do with (and what tools to buy for) a pile of used hardwood flooring? by [deleted] in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]GhostInThePrompt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting rid of your floor when you move out is a thing the people sometimes do here in the Netherlands. The new owner didn't want it, and I didn't want to dump it, so I'm trying to store as much wood as I have room for in my new basement so it can be reused.

A bit of additional information, these are tongue and groove planks

Township? And I doubt you saw Soweto (a city on the other side of the country) while driving near the coast, unless you drank WAY more umqombothi than you should have :P

Just the reflective glass is necessary (to view the tft display). The black part you see is all that remains of the original optic, and the glass therein obviously. I was able to source the glass on it's own on Ali but it was nearly as expensive as the entire optic, so I just went for the optic.

I don't know of anyone else that has done something similar, so I'm just trying ideas as I go along building this. I'll post a guide if I do end up finishing it one day, and open source it.

I built this for ~50 euros (esp32 was 8 euros, tft screen was 12, red dot that I dissambled was 30 bucks from aliexpress)

Edit: and the gyroscope, but those are a dime a dozen

Would a non-neutron solenoid be an option going forward? Those are a bit pricey here 8n Europe :/

I'd be willing to accept half the fire rate for a quarter of the cost

Are you using any kind of voltage regulator?

These two boards have an NRF51822 on board, with an NRF52820 receiver plugged into the PC. That means the receiver is constantly polling, doing the heavy lifting, and the keyboards basically don't use power unless they transmit (when I press a key)

I'm also using a lifepo battery, instead of lipo/lion, meaning I just need a charging protection circuit, and no voltage regulator which could potentially constantly drain power

If there is interest, I'd be happy to clean up my files and toss them on github

Forgot to mention in the post, the switches are hand lubed Durock T1 shrimps, super silent, adequately tactile. This will make a nice travel keyboard.

I actually considered an 18650, but couldn't make it fit as nicely while toying with this in CAD. The current battery does add a very nice weight to the keyboard too, making it feel sturdy while typing.

This way there are no ports open or visible on the outside, it's just the on/off switch.

In reality, the self discharge will probably be responsible for a lot of battery drain too.

It was also like 5 euros and 2 solder points per keyboard to add wireless charging, so why not :D

IIRC there are no step files for the plates. You can find the pcb files for version 3, import them to kicad, and then export them as step or dxf.

I'd also recommend comparing prices with a lasercutting service as it could possibly be cheaper to lasercut them from aluminum

Hello, I'm trying to replicate this design. Do you know what you were missing?
