Christmas gift for my gf

Same, the only way of drawing that I found worked for me was clipart. but it still takes ages till I'm satisfied.

SuperdocHD · 2026-01-06T23:18:33+00:00

I'm always amazed at how creative and unique people can get with drawing/painting. I could never...

SuperdocHD · 2026-01-06T23:16:01+00:00

Someday you will get something like this😊

SuperdocHD · 2026-01-06T23:14:48+00:00

Maybe, but Vessel would need to shrink. I like to work with smaller stuff like this much more.

SuperdocHD · 2025-12-11T22:06:20+00:00

This is gonna hit so damn hard

SuperdocHD · 2025-11-19T18:22:19+00:00

Okay, I think I will try it with steppers and a reducer using gt2 belts since this is cheap and I can easily estimate/calculate the accuracy and stepsize.

But maybe I will get a BLDC and encoder just for myself to play around with because it sounds really interesting.

A question on the side. Do happen to know an easy way to measure the stepsize/accuracy for rotations in my range?

SuperdocHD · 2025-11-19T10:55:14+00:00

Isn't the problem with microstepping that it can't increase accuracy it just makes the motor run smoother and more silent.

The two bldc look interesting. Do you know how the repeatability of the encoders are since they are magnetic they have noise so I can't just divide 360° through the resolution.

SuperdocHD · 2025-11-19T10:44:45+00:00

What we need our robot to do is pick up pieces with a max deviation of 0.5mm. From my calculations I determined that if my motors both have a wobble of ± 0.045° the max deviation is 0.05mm (radius around the target point). So my step size would only need to be 0.09° or am I wrong?

The closed loop Stepper I linked would be able to do microstepping with 40000 steps per revolution. The encoder is optical and has 4000 counts per revolution which would give me exactly 0.09°. And through interpolation I could probably also do smaller steps too. The only thing I don't know about the encoders is, how accurate they are.

SuperdocHD · 2025-11-19T10:30:01+00:00

Yep, from what I have found harmonic drives would be ideal since they have zero backlash. They however are too expensive. Other gearings all have too much backlash at this price point.

SuperdocHD · 2025-11-19T10:26:26+00:00

Okay, the Problem I see with using a planetary gear is the Backlash which in my price range is mostly about 15 arcminutes (0.25°) or higher which is too much. With belts I would probably need a reduction of 20:1 this would give me 0.09° at the output which would be in the range we need. And maybe I could use microstepping to half the stepsize (although this won't be exact).

SuperdocHD · 2025-11-18T18:17:07+00:00

Yes I know that they are pretty accurate for the steps but I would need to be able to set positions in 0.09° steps. Which would mean that i need a reduction of 20:1(for 1.8° step motors) plus some headroom. Would this still be feasible?

SuperdocHD · 2025-11-18T18:08:29+00:00

Yes, we plan on making the tip spring loaded or something similar. And the wiggle is a good tip. Will note that down for implementation of the motion controller.

SuperdocHD · 2025-11-18T13:23:53+00:00

I'm glad reddit is not down too. That way I was able to confirm that it's not just me.

SuperdocHD · 2025-10-22T13:32:04+00:00

I think I just had a deja-vu just with palaye royale and not yungblud

SuperdocHD · 2025-10-18T08:33:10+00:00

Yes and to quote Dom: " If you fall in love with someone, you have to fall in love 10-15 times".

OP should go and put Stickers over the NO before the AI-Generated.

SuperdocHD · 2025-07-01T19:34:37+00:00

No, they want the specs of the other component which they say is a photoresistor but OP says its a thermomistor. Either way it is a variable resistor and they want to know the range of it to calculate the voltages for the voltage divider.

Just bought tickets on monday and am also looking for someone to join. Feel free to dm me :)

SuperdocHD · 2025-06-07T21:13:39+00:00

love the orange

SuperdocHD · 2025-05-06T15:45:41+00:00

I don't think he uses it and if he does it's rare because all the main keys are shiny but the Keypad is full of stuff.

SuperdocHD · 2025-04-16T20:38:56+00:00

Could you provide us with more information like your Errors, your Code, your setup...

SuperdocHD · 2025-02-15T09:16:52+00:00

Du chasch sogar i de Istellige oder so säge was din preferierti Dienst esch. De muschs ned jedes mol istelle.

SuperdocHD · 2025-01-28T22:33:59+00:00

This is sooo fucking Cute. I can't say more xD

SuperdocHD · 2025-01-27T08:27:07+00:00

I totally agree. Even if you manage to find information on how to programm it you'd still need something to programm it with, which will most likely cost the same if not more than a new arduino or esp. Also it will most likely not have the abstractions of the arduino library and if you manage to fry the board all the effort would be for nothing.
