This entry is about a small stepper robot arm I made a while ago. In this post, I will first talk a bit about how I built it and what my thoughts were while doing so. After that, I will show some moving footage of what the thing is able to do. Continue reading Small Stepper Robot Arm

Setting up Raspberry Pi WiFi with Static IP on Raspbian Stretch Lite
So here we are. Ready to setup the WiFi and static IP settings on the Raspberry Pi running Raspbian Stretch Lite. And because it’s Lite, all we can use is the command line. But what do we exactly do to get the job done? Here are some steps you might want to consider when wrapping your head around the WiFi and static IP setup process:

Adding Computer Vision to the Arduino Delta Robot
In the previous post, I wrote about how I decided to build an Arduino Delta Robot. In this post, I will show you how I added some simple Computer Vision to the project.

Arduino Delta Robot
This is a post about an old project I finished years ago. Maybe something good will come from looking back on what kind of decisions I made while working this monstrosity of an Arduino Delta Robot.
Raspberry Pi Robot Arm with simple Computer Vision
This entry is about a small Raspberry Pi robot arm I made more then a year ago. I used Dynamixel AX-12A servos. They are quite expensive. But the rule “I payed more so it ought to be better” applies; What you get are very easily configurable strong smart servos. The “smart” just meaning that you can control them via serial bus.

The Quest To Get A Machine To Juggle
This entry is about the quest to get a machine to juggle a ping pong ball.
I started thinking about a ping pong ball juggler 2 years ago. And it was around that time that I built the first one of them. it uses LED – Photo transistor pairs to “see” when and approximately where the ball comes down. I used 4 micro servos to move a wooden plate. It’s the machine in the first YouTube video.
