Stuff Michael Meeks is doing
|
|
This is my (in)activity log. You might like to visit my employer
Novell which is an amazing company, and also
Dell who in days of yore provided me with a
free laptop for Gnome development / conferences.
Also if you have the time to read this sort of stuff you could enlighten
yourself by going to Unraveling Wittgenstein's net or if
you are feeling objectionable perhaps here.

Unpacked new laptop; just arrived - oddly a 16x9
screen - will that equate to more side-by-side emacs buffer
goodness ?
-
Plodded away at the RepRap electronics - made new
connections for the step/direction pins; eventually gave up
and hacked up some new ultra simple firmware for the extruder
controller - just exercising the stepper.
-
Played with M. in the road, trying to get her internal
steering feedback loop tuned. Chatted to Russel a bit.
-
Babes watched Shrek, tried to explain the relevance of
Taylor Mali's speak with
conviction poem.
-
Packed them into the bath, then bed.
Ran my stepper test program only to discover that the TechZone
electronics are essentially not working and apparently un-tested.
Soldered an LED up, but iron too big. Popped down to Chris Brighty's
to have several other pins on the A3949 DC motor drivers soldered:
the moral ? don't put vias through solder pads. Now drives it the
extruder stepper motor.
In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my
own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Novell, The
Lithuanian Gov't or Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's also important to
realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy.
Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences,
bio.
or fun.
