I have no idea what makes it so heavy, but my hopes are high :) Might start a discord live stream thingy for testing at some point, so don't be alarmed, the real thing will be announced properly.
Also welcome to the third (at least) Holger and all the other new patrons, I appreciate your support and company :)

Because a raspberry pi is already struggling with 2D visualization. So the whole topic is not exhausted yet, but I'll delay further investigation for a little while ... the vacuum robot is needed :)

The lidar scanner is interesting enough for another video I think

Well that was surprisingly quick ... And now I have to do 4k everything?
I've actually been uploading 4k 60fps for a while now, but that was just upscaled 1080p source footage. YouTube turns it into higher quality videos that way.
To really work with 4k material is a bit slow on my old machine, I'll need a few weeks to get better hardware. Probably the worst time to buy a GPU in the history of GPUs tho :)
Either way thank you so much, patrons! How about an exclusive collaborative d...

I just had to buy this 50kg UK-made calibrator for EUR 33,83 :-|

Is that screwdriver video going to be too silly if I include both the comeback of the BBB and this contraption?
This upgraded screwdriver has higher speed and 2 ball bearings on the output shaft in addition to all the existing similarities to cordless drills. Couldn't resist trying to drill with it :\

Gotta look into lightning protection and then the LoRa story can go on ...

Next iteration is done, with almost 100% more brutality and an ergonomic handle.

Not gonna lie, I thought I'd just get that camera out of my 'free-products-to-include-in-some-video-shelf' by making a quick one, but I ended up enjoying this video very much, especially the second half. I hope you do too :)

that 3D printing time lapse :-\
I have made this neat raspi camera thingy and I want to keep it portable for other special filming opportunities. So I want to get something like the Z-axis synchronization without interfacing with the printer electrically.
There is a wonderful OpenCV approach here: http://lvelho.impa.br/ip15/demos/daniel-moura/hyperlapse.html
But experimenting...

... didn't work all that well!
Why am I still botching things together after pursuing the perfect PCB prototyping method for years?
Maybe it just needs a bigger mosfet

I thought it was a case of the pre-christmas-madness the first time and I told them about it. But it seems like they are really sure about that parts identity 🤣

Hey guys, happy new year!
I've made a lot of wildly ambitious plans and even if I only manage to fulfill half of 'em, it will be a very happy one indeed.
Thanks to your support in particular I can invest more time in these projects and I am delighted to do so :)
BUT there are a few more Chinese products on the way too ... interesting ones!
Here are a few things to come in no particular order:
Better version without blurring

Does anyone have an EleksMaker laser, but no 3D printer? Tell me your address and I'll send you the printed parts for the upgrade (6 x belt holder + adjustable X-axis).

Unless I get one of those used fiber coupled high power semiconductor lasers from eBay, this is my last laser video for now. Because it's more than good enough for PCBs now.
