Kim Mo My project site is (partially) up and running

Hi, I managed to upload a lot of files including a low resolution video to the server this morning. The high resolution video is only half loaded. Here is the URL to my site. Enjoy. http://void.arch.usyd.edu.au/~andrew/infodevice/students/Cyclone/Home.html Cheers, Kim Continue

Dan Bourke temporary file storage

Hi, guys. If you want, since Andrew's space is full, you can host big files on my website for the time being - user is infodevice, password is devinfo, address is ftp.selfasbody.com - put files inside the info.selfasbody.com (feel free to make a directory for yourself) they will be available online at http://info.selfasbody.com (note that only one user at a time will be able to log in, so if you can't log in, someone else is probably uploading stuff) Continue

Kim Mo Problem uploading files to Andrew's site

Hi, I think Dan is right. Andrew's site seems to have reached it quota as I have been unable to upload my files in the last hour - I was able to do it yesterday and as recent as this morning. Has everyone uploaded their sites? Unless Andrew gets an increase in disk quota soon, I won't be able to put my files to the site. Does anyone have any suggestions? Cheers, Kim Continue

Dan Bourke damn!

My servo motor just exploded, a little. That's inconvenient! Fortunately, everything else is going pretty well, so I should have plenty of time to go and get a replacement in the morning. Still, this is not my favourite thing to have happened at midnight, ever. Continue

Michael Sarroff The Psycho Curtain Project Phase 4

Well there is nothing like finally getting the project nearly completed and discovering that the concept may not function how it was intended.This is the reality of theory v's practice. I'm not sure if my faulty engineering has an easy solution but will bring it in on wed to get some advice. If I don't shake the curtain enough, the retraction mechanism will work in the allotted time.However if i get the curtain to shake more the retraction mechanism releases prematurely.One of the problems is t… Continue

David Bartolo Block diagram and some construction detail

Here is a block diagram of the rubbish monitor. At this stage I am working from the inside out...

Squirter will spurt salty water at bin lid, when water evaporates, a trace of salt remains:

Dan Bourke grr, argh (brains?)

So, last week saw my original visualisation fail to work, meaning I need to start over again: It also saw my sensor fail to work... meaning I need to start over again! I thought I'd posted that video last week, but obviously I didn't. Anyway! New visualisation is going to be much simpler. Small levers! I can work with that. Building a smoke detector from the ground up is interesting, but I think I can do it. I've got the theory down, anyway... practicalities are, as alway… Continue

David Bartolo Frustration, Anxiety, trying to fit it all in

Came close to leaving the course last night. Trying to fit in work, family, study sometimes gets too much. But talking to friends helps, and I am now paring down my ideas and working from most to least essential. A) Most essential Most essential for me is an inside bin display that leaves a trackable pattern on the bin lid based upon daily data, and allows 2 weeks to be compared. This will be acheived with a rotating turntable with salt water solution, valve solenoid and eyedropper bott… Continue

Stephie Flex (bend) sensors revisited

During last wks tutorial workshop Justin helped me to setup a small circuit with my bend sensors and get Arduino to read the values. I looked up the documentation for the sensors and apparently the best ones to use for the 3" version (which I've got) are 10K Ohm resistors. So I got a bunch of them from Jaycar and setup a circuit, this time with all three of my sensors. It took a bit of fiddling round, but eventually I got it...now I can play with real data from the 3 flex sensors for my game int… Continue

David Bartolo Rubbish progress

Sorry I couldn't make it last night - I would have liked to get some stepper driving tips, but my son was ill. Nevertheless, I can post my latest thoughts on the internal bin. the image below shows the individual components. I plan to use gravity-fed liquid through two valve solenoids. This will either dispense coloured liquid onto canvas on top of the bin, or maybe onto the bin lid itself. The colours will represent alternative weeks of rubbish. Liquid will be directed via a movable nozzle to… Continue

Michael Sarroff The Psycho Shower Curtain - Stage 3

At this stage thanks to Justin's help in programming the arduino as a 'state machine', I can now focus on completing the actual shower curtain mechanism. Last night I found a shower in the building in the wood working lab and after measuring the width of the curtain, I will now need to cut down the protoype to fit.This is always an issue when not thinking about the target location. I hoped that the measurement of 900mm would be safe when the plans were originally were drawn up.After more resear… Continue
