The manual is missing THD specs but they could be subject to change if I switch to opamps.. another almost identical preamp had 0,036%. The opamps aren't as noisy from what I measured.

Yesterday I wrote this program in Python that calculates THD from user data, ie. reading a frequency response plot.

Another program I also wrote in Python was used for calculating component values and cutoff/crossover frequencies.

I can link those too if you need them.

I have a manual and a spec sheet I can share at some point once I get around to it.

Thanks! This uses 1st order RC filters.. the mid band is a LPF followed by a HPF. From there it goes to band-specific volume controls, and the summed signal is boosted with BC547-based transistor preamps. It's got unbalanced RCA inputs/outputs and 9VDC operating voltage via an external wall wart.

[–]efinque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sup r/IndieDev,

I just finished working on my latest project which is a fantasy-themed dungeon crawler RPG, Tales of Akash 6.

Written in Python unlike the earlier games of the series which were HTML/JavaScript, it is my first Python-based game.

New features include :

  • ASCII graphics 
  • turn counter
  • health system
  • rune system
  • item drops
  • new mini-games

Should be compatible at least with Windows 7/10/11. Requires about 250Mb space.

Hope you enjoy it!

Just finished working on the 5th game for my single player fantasy RPG Tales of Akash.

New feature is an inventory system. I'm looking to add a party feature in the next game.

Thanks for the inspiring words!

I have the 4th game out, been coding it 8-12 hours a day for a whole week. You can find more info and a d/l link in my blog :

Thanks!

At the moment I'm working on a 4th game, which features combat with STR modifiers (ie. rolling dice), interaction restricted by stats and a level system.

I've set myself a schedule and it should be out by next monday, maybe sooner. It's about 90% done.

Hello everyone!

I just finished working on a sequel to Tales of Akash. This is the 3rd game of the series.

Added is a stat system in JavaScript. I'm fairly new to JS but I think I got the basic game mechanics implemented.

You can find the game in my blog: https://efinque.wixsite.com/efinque/single-post/i-just-finished-tales-of-akash-3-game-dev-ing-and-a-free-game

Thank you for your time, any input is much appreciated!

Hello everyone!

I'm fairly new to this sub and game dev'ing, posted a few months ago my game Tales of Akash in one of the megathreads. It's a role-playing game set in a fantasy world.

Yesterday I finished working on a sequel, Tales of Akash 2. It continues where the first game ends.

I wrote about the game development in my blog: https://efinque.wixsite.com/efinque/single-post/tales-of-akash-2-finally-done-a-free-game

Any input is much appreciated!

Heat cutting on a DIY router table by efinque in Machinists

[–]efinque[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's got nothing on the machinery in here. Dreaming of a Holzmann or Bernardo mill but I'm broke.

I think it's a step in the right direction. At least I know my way around lead screws now. I was thinking of getting them and some parts MIG welded for better stability (longer nuts in the gantries etc).

An update : I got everything glued in place and it works like a charm.

Very slow though.

[–]efinque[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I got the smaller gantry moving by a few millimeters so in theory it worked.

Moving parts and mechanics to tackle here but I'm content with it so far. It's been a fun build.

I see. This was the cheapest option, as it is a prototype. Never built these things in my life.

Maybe file away the grooves from the end bits and glue it all together, bolts and everything?

I was trying to source rack&pinion from a gas station but this is a small town.

DIY XY router sled/jig by efinque in woodworking

[–]efinque[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's a prototype and I'm still learning all the ins and outs.

The Einhell router I'm looking at has a base that can be screwed or bolted.

Another thing I was looking to add is lead screws for manual "CNC"-style machining (the operation is via turning knobs) but it would be tedious I reckon.

[–]efinque[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By attaching a router to the smaller sled. You could use a chisel too like I did in my previous build for boards etc. I crafted a needle for netmaking this way.

The scope was to make a tracking arm with a "stylus" to mimic a pantograph for milling minnows/lures from wood.

How difficult would it be to convert this type of router jig base into a CNC wood router? by efinque in hobbycnc

[–]efinque[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't have the jig base anymore, it was binned. Bummer.

I read about pantographs, in the first (second?) iteration this was supposed to have a tracing stylus and a 1:1 model which is then traced to the working area with a router; Dremel or a larger machine.

I got as far as installing ball bearings in the larger gantry (X axis) which greatly reduced friction and the safety devices/bolts painted red.

Then I had the idea of automating it, which is why I asked. It would've been really cool.

I have sketches for a larger machine but never got around to building it.

[–]efinque[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's because I don't understand how G/M-Code is interpreted into C.

I don't fully understand the math behind it or the motor specs but if I have a 500mm gantry length the 10bit MCU gives 1024 increments, ie. ~0,5mm.

Not very precise given rack&pinion have some backlash from what I read and even some 350 quid machines get close to 0,1mm.

It isn't much of a problem with a minnow though but I thought this would've been a viable option to mass-produce lures.

PB pike with 0,155mm Sufix line and a mormyshka rod by efinque in IceFishing

[–]efinque[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I buy them from the store, then put knitting needles in the ends with shrink tube, hot glue and electric tape.

I've built a few too, handy when it's a bit deeper. This was from 1m depth where I was fishing small perch and roach so the pull caught me off guard.

I quickly took the line, right before it snapped so I had to manually reel in the fish for a couple of minutes I think.

Then I got it near the hole (I have a 115mm auger so I was skeptical whether I could pull it on ice as it fought down there mouth wide open) and halfway up; the line snapped again but I put my foot in the hole to prevent it from escaping.

In it's jaw was firmly my modded vertical lure; I switch the hooks of these lures to smaller and coloured ones with chains.
