Show ideas

Former Member

Heya y'all,

 

Just a few ideas for TBHS that I need to release the kraken on:

- LCD panel salvage - panel is good, maybe it can be used for something else?

- Arduino device addressing - having multiple sensors that are addressed through arduino so they can be identified and sensor details shown.

 

That's al I have.

 

LOve the show, wish it was longer.

    I think it would be easier to build from scratch than take apart a laser printer just to get 2 axis positioning control. 

     

    Also as stencils are usually made out of thin metal, I'm not sure what type of wavelength and power you need to cut metal, it would probably be better to just route the holes using a cheap dremel.  You can get ultra cheap ones 20-30 which is cheaper than those laser diodes and definitely cheaper than laser diodes + power supply needed + heatsinking needed. 

     

    Lastly, lasers = dangerous, especially non visible light ones which I believe these are getting into the infrared range.  You'd have to completely enclose the whole thing and wear special goggles while building it it to hopefully save your eyes.
