A short video about what's currently going on, and what is likely to happen soon. (And a short rant about what you get when order the same thing over and over again on eBay) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7r3G4FWnD0
I bought the cheapest 80W laser on eBay. Let's see how this Adventure turns out.
I will try to document every day (with an update) of my quest to put the cheapest 80W laser on eBay to work. I'll report on the pros and cons and on any additional purchases required.
Day 1: Today I made the purchase

AR.Drone2.0 Autonomous GPS navigtion
I've added an Arduino development board and a GPS
receiver to the Drone. The Arduino reads the GPS data
and holds the Navigation waypoint information.
It communicates with the drone over the serial interface,
telling it to go: forward, left, right ... and so on ...
A tool on the drone acts as a standalone controller.
The software is alpha:
There is no altitude control yet.
There are no settings whatsoever.

I will try to document every day (with an update) of my quest to put the cheapest 80W laser on eBay to work. I'll report on the pros and cons and on any additional purchases required.
1st additional purchase: I also bought the cheapest CW-5000 on eBay
Day 1: Today I made the purchase
Day 2: I got shipping confirmation (that was fast!)
Day 3: Got the call: delivery tomorrow !!
Day 4: It's been delivered. It's unpacked and it all there !!!!
Day 5: Bodybuilding, a backache, tight corners and a cut !!
Day 6: Cleaning, painting, fine tuning
--- on day 7 Dirks wife told him to clean the mess up that was the lasers trail to the workshop, or all hell would break loose. So he did. ---
Day 8: Let's make something !
Day 9: The water cooler has arrived

Part one of my 'Altair Again' project. The kit parts are somewhat sorted and a physical prototype is done.
The goal of this project is to build a simple kit for reproducing the looks and function of this amazing machine four decades after its end.
In the spirit of the original kit all parts should be simple and easy to make, and the documentation and code should be available as an open source project to everybody.

3 Jahre hat es gedauert um endlich die Einspritzdüsen an meinem Ford zu tauschen.
Vorher wurde vom Software-Update bis zum Handauflegen alles gemacht um der Dieselbeimischung im Motoröl beizukommen. Am Ende war Tempo 90 das Beste was auf der Autobahn noch zu erreichen war.
Jetzt: Eine Spur der Verwüstung bis ins Herz des Pick-Ups, Zerbrochene Clips und Halterung, zerstört auf dem Weg zu den Düsen, auf dem Weg raus: Nichts wieder eingehakt, keine Clips erneuert - alles Wackelt - Selbst der Deckel auf dem Motor lag nur lose drauf.
Das Öl vom Ölwechsel, den ich selber zahlen musste, so verkleckert, daß es sogar einen Fleck auf der Dämmung unter der Motorhaube gibt. Alles stinkt !
Und das Problem ist hausgemacht: Händler bekommen für Garantieleistungen ausser den Ersatzteilen die defekt sind nichts.
Und manche geben das genau so an den Kunden weiter. Auf dem Weg rein wie ein Berserker, raus wie ein Spion.

New technology is great !
But what does it feel like to park the car and only use a Mini Segway for the daily trip to work, shopping and all that ?
The truth is: It feels great ! But I had luck too. The weather was perfect for almost the entire month, I did not need haul anything large, and nothing out of the ordinary happened.

This is a calibration plot with the v3 plotter.
This is a test with different settings for the gear slack
elimination. The optimal setting will produce a set of lines
with same spacing on all sides.
The arduino firmware, as well as the 3D printer files
used for this are available for download via github.

A short intro to a way of making cool looking analog dial displays using cheap Stepper Motors and 3D printed parts.
By using a notch & index method to limit the travel of an indicator dial you can build a very simple display that can reset itself by moving into a hard stop limit and stalling the driving stepper.
This makes for a very versatile display with almost no extra mechanics required.

A few shots of the drone hovering.
The fast segments are at 400fps, the slow ones at 1200fps.
Recorded with a Nikon 1 V1.
