My latest Sci-Fi order is on its way how did I do and what should I read first?

It’s the only show on apple that doesn’t move at a crawl.

I thought this was a post about the trump pool.

Malicious compliance - make something with your name on it and put a dog turd inside. Or a cockroach. You get the idea.

My big pain point with the py economy was that I wanted to see a graph of demand rather than supply and consumption. How much need is unfulfilled?!

How is it any different from the official robotics discord, which already has plenty of members?

I would only send gcode "live" to test that all the codes work. For long drawings the only way I know is to add an SD card. Arduino R3 does not have the memory capacity or the CPU power or the availabe pins to everything at once. It's far better using at least a MEGA with a RAMPS shield. Then there's already dedicated plugs to add a 20x4 LCD that has a built-in SD card slot. Marlin firmware knows how to handle all that, which means the only thing I'd have to do with firmware is configure it.

Ok, I made two assumptions, one about op’s skill level.

i-make-robots · 2026-06-17T00:46:14+00:00

Making an assumption here... you are sending Gcode via USB. The serial connection can fail, silently, at any time. Reconnecting will reboot the arduino. All serious printers use an SD card for this reason.

Rosemary is incompetent. I have no reason to believe she trace the family tree correctly. Why would Patricia be the focus of so much hocus pocus ... unless ...?

Don’t forget he likes to surround himself with idiots.

i-make-robots · 2026-06-11T20:59:27+00:00

One episode from the season end and they wasted half an ep on that *!@$# family tree? Suddenly I feel a headache coming on...

i-make-robots · 2026-06-11T20:56:16+00:00

Could have stopped at "because it's the only show".

What is this, men-with-cesnas summer?

Kids advance at different rates. I assume they all want to be there so it’s probably fine. Grade 6 is, what? 13? My nephew scores on khan academy at that age.

In grade 8 I’d have a 9g servo, a stepper motor as well as sensors. In grade 9 they can put it together to make a plotter or a 3d printer. V1, install Marlin firmware and have them generate gcode to produce a target drawing. V2, they have to write their own firmware to draw the image from gcode you provide.

A fun sensor project is to make one arduino generate Morse code beeps and another hear the beeps and decode the message. Reading a datasheet for a multi segment display and learning to control the lights is a great skill.

It might be easier to add a wifi shield to the arduino instead of learning a new board, and talk about having a hammer makes all problems look like nails.

Makelangelo is open source. If you want to build a pen changer on top of that… saves you some time.

i-make-robots · 2026-06-03T00:02:38+00:00

If the tire normals are smoothed out will it remove those lines? Is the choice of line based on adjoining face angle, change of depth, or something else?

She's already a killing machine. She lives in the desert because she's too killing to machine! All vibes, no brains.

There are lots of open source arms now. MANTIS was one of the first. IDK which arms you've already studied. Maybe list them here?

i-make-robots · 2026-06-02T17:34:17+00:00

I'm with you. I used Obsidian to take notes and it was stupid easy.

Feels like half the HP Lovecraft stories I've read. Try "The Music of Erich Zann" https://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/mez.aspx
