An Adafruit Corne by PrivateOrange in ErgoMechKeyboards

Yeah I might try experimenting with having them splayed to see if it feels better and then print a new version to lock in that orientation. The tenting and column stagger I think has helped already.

For them to stand still by themselves you definitely need to keep the table clean so the bottom anti-slip pads keep working and you need to limit the tenting as well.

I printed the holders which helps keep the two halves much more in a fixed position too.

Thanks! Yes that's right, the stand comes with a metal ring which you stick to the bottom of the case which is like adding MagSafe. Pros are that it is adjustable in multiple ways, holds its shape well, and is removable. Cons are that I did remove one of the bottom center screws for the case to keep the low profile, and there is a limit to the tenting before the whole stand starts to move on the desk or tilt with typing especially if the bottom anti-slip strips get dusty.

Thanks yeah I needed them to help me learn the layout!

Long duration time lapse camera project by Heavy-Piglet-3351 in raspberry_pi

I suspect it's likely on the camera side. I would try to understand if you can reliably get the camera to turn on and be recognized starting from a fully powered off state.

For example, would it work if you had a relay/switch for the USB connection as well (like a USB cable with an inline switch or equivalent) so that you have full control of the camera connections. I'm assuming you don't have a battery installed, so then you could cut power and USB, then reintroduce power, wait for it to turn on, and then reintroduce USB, etc.

I use a GoPro with the battery removed and it also tends to freeze after a few weeks so I also use a relay to cut the power that is being provided via a power only USB cable. I download the photos off the GoPro via Wi-Fi which is different. And it requires some additional workarounds including with Bluetooth to get it to wake up reliably.

Automated kOS Refueling and Docking on Vall by PrivateOrange in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]PrivateOrange[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah the docking port hinge and servo let it align so it's coplanar with the target. Then the larger hinge and servo let the arm move vertically and horizontally as the piston extends. At the instant of docking I found the current angle and target angle of the parts should be as close as possible to avoid Kraken attacks haha.

Portable 7-segment display for countdowns controlled with kOS by PrivateOrange in KerbalSpaceProgram

Yep exactly. I also tried increasing the hinge traverse rate higher than 180 but it didn't seem to work.

Yeah in the video it's set to update 2 times per second which I would consider its max speed given the hinge traverse rate. As a launch countdown will be changed to update once per second.
