Thought I’d throw up a thread for people to post up photos of things
they’ve made or are making recently, as I want to put up a monthly blog
post about what’s been happening in the space. The idea is you post up
things here as you make them so people can see the awesome stuff you’re
working on
I’ll start:
[image: Inline images 1]
*Sous Vide Machine - *to make delicious science food! Basically a deep
fryer with the controller ripped out and replaced with an ebay PID unit,
full of water. Set it to 55 degrees, put in a steak in a ziplock bag, end
up with DELICIOUS steak -

Joule Thief (flat battery torch) - Alex and I ran a workshop this weekend
at Castlefield gallery building Flat Battery torches. While not
fantastically well attended, everyone left with a working torch, the only
ones that didn’t work first time were mine and Alex’s!
[image: Inline images 1]
*A shelf in the workshop - *I was a bit fed up with the big pile of
assorted tools under the second workbench - this isnt a massively strong
shelf, but it’ll do for the light tools for now
I don’t know if it’s worth mentioning because it’s still a work in progress
but I’ve been working on my SID (Commodore 64 sound chip) synth. All the
documentation etc are in the two github repos SID control library and PCBhttps://github.com/CharlotteGore/MOS6581
and SID Synth control surface https://github.com/CharlotteGore/SIDI
I want to make the control surface an I2C peripheral so that the synth core
can take control data from just about anything - a theramin, analog pots, a
sequencer, digital cleverness etc. So, this weekend I hacked together an
experiment:
The Arduino on the left is the I2C Master. The Arduino on the right is the
I2C Slave. Using the buttons and the rotary encoder, you can set the value
of 127 virtual controls, and the I2C master is able to get these new values
as updates which it shunts along the UART to the computer.
That’s it for me!On Monday, 1 July 2013 20:27:12 UTC+1, parag0n wrote:

It would be nice to be able to get the schematics as PDF so then I could
scale them to fit my monitor nicely.On 2 July 2013 09:02, Charlotte Gore conspiracygore@gmail.com wrote:

Yep, and it isn’t difficult to do with recent versions of eagle having a
print-to-pdf option.On 2 July 2013 12:31, Charlotte Gore conspiracygore@gmail.com wrote:

At the space I’ve been slowly working on my coffee grinder:
[image: Inline images 2]
I received a manual burr grinder as a gift a while ago, but it takes 20
minutes to grind enough coffee by hand to brew up a cafetiere. HacMan had a
cordless drill with a dead battery and no charger so I stripped it down and
coupled it onto the coffee grinder’s shaft. The bit on top which holds the
motor is a utensil holder from Wilkinson’s, which was surprisingly hard to
machine. Next steps are to join the utensil holder onto the coffee
grinder’s top and find or make a speed control for the motor.

The other thing I’m doing for MMMF is this machine which executes a
Turing-complete cellular automaton called rule 110. I’ve done other more
complicated mechanical computers before but they’ve never worked very
reliably, so this is my attempt to simplify, I think it’s down to 8 moving
parts now. Now that Bob’s shown me how to use the laser cutter I can start
work on this again!On 1 July 2013 20:27, Bob Clough parag0n@ivixor.net wrote:
