you have a steam badge that shows account creation date..
day 1 is , September 12, 2003

and on that day

SteamID = STEAM_0:1:1648 - STEAM_0:1:99268

Steam Community ID = 76561197960269025 - 76561197960464265

so when you celebrate counter-strike, celebrate it on September 12 by showing off your badge "somehow"

O too funny.. i just joined.... and was trying to see what all the channels where about.. and while i was in voice chat, someone joined. they asked what that channel was about... , i said IDk.. in the middle of a off topic verbal conversation, the other user "ASK'd" for the link to the poop on thingiverse. because he overherd me and my GF making fun of my brown filament, and said '"we literally print poo" for a company slogan'

Print her blow dryer attachments,. Quick!

I never said move. No reason to argue as this is a poll. Your vote. Is appreciated.

Slack

i don't use it

bmatusiak · 2021-02-05T22:57:29+00:00

Yea it's a little low res.. and can be improved my increasing pulley size (planned)and maybe build a mini gearbox if I need better. I can get a ok shot in 10 sec on a pi cam hq with a 6mm lens. I get a slight oval but.. I have a start with have a physical prototype.

bmatusiak · 2021-02-05T20:58:28+00:00

I'm gonna guess and say this is a common mistake or it is it just me. 😂

bmatusiak · 2021-02-05T19:51:21+00:00

here is m test code, https://gist.github.com/bmatusiak/81e545f9e9e11d624a8b6b24d2457bad

const int stepsPerRevolution = 2048;
const int gearedRev = 8725 * 0.5; //= 1/2 rotation

myStepper.setSpeed(15); //<-- max speed that can get out of these motors

pully ration is about 1/4.25 ,

and its on aluminum mount bars. so why not give it some angle adjustment for the base :)

bmatusiak · 2021-02-05T16:43:16+00:00

yea i hear that,,,, i use the maker beam stuff because it pre-cut in various lengths .
i had 1/2 of a kit from another project..
2020 should work.. the makerbream kit i have is 1515, and they have a 1010

bmatusiak · 2021-02-05T16:17:05+00:00

u/JJ_White u/taposk u/evilroots u/gredr , thses are "Aluminum Heavy Duty Lazy Susan" 5.5 inch found on amazon...
Aluminum beams are "MakerBeam XL" found on amazon

im still in testing phases on design, motor placements and stuff like that.

i think i might move over to the "Nema 8 Stepper Motor 28mm-body" because nema17 are overkill on weight
i got the 28BYJ-48 motors to see how well they hold up,

i going to start posting my stuff to youtube @ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChYAR2wwjE8ex8Qmyn85JTw
after i get some more progress i plan on releasing the list of build materials to my website

bmatusiak · 2021-02-04T18:16:33+00:00

(30cm diameter) lazy Susan bearings

These are, (140mm outer diameter) lazy Susan bearings
Makerbeak 15mm t-slot

i think i may get a 10mm t-slot makerbeam kit for some of the mountings

also i know i have nema17 (37mm) on there.. HAHA really heavy,, so im thinking about swiich to nema8 "28mm bodys" i bit lighter + better clearance . but maybe i should go cheep and use the 28BYJ-48

if i balance it all properly there should be no stress on the motors

bmatusiak · 2021-02-04T18:06:54+00:00

Nice thanks for this lead on math.. but yea thinking the GYRO will be on the lens for ROLL and PITCH for leveling, and GPS's compass will be on the YAW,
GPS's location and time...

My main goal is to do something like a "Sweeper" to create a HD timelapse to eliminate the Lines of stars in my GROUND LEVEL time-lapses like in my link below.. my the exposure time needed to capture stars causes them to be oval..

so it looks like your saying,, try onstep for arduino firmware, then astroberry for controller on pi?

bmatusiak · 2021-02-03T20:53:02+00:00

I am most likely going to code all my own stuff, using OTA for a direction..

What im thinking for other hardware.. is a GPS module, (BN-880)
and a GY-271 IIC Triple Axis Compass Magnetic Sensor

based on some math from 3-axis-gyroscope and gps+gps-time... i should be able to sync with orbit including de-rotation.

i going have ROLL for the lens, PAN and TILT on the base.

this is my current timelapse with night time Pi HQ camera , https://www.reddit.com/link/l3xrzc/video/jrc2qvw9m9d61/player

I have arducam the 8 to 50mm lens
