3d Printer Part 3

-
I was able to make the motor move by sweeping the wire across 4 leads manually. I wired up a decade counter to do it automatically and added a 16 output multiplexor to change the two binary outputs to four lines going to two NTE1825 motor drivers(these are meant to be used as H-bridges so don't tell anyone of my perverted use for them)

Stupid me- I forgot the 74ls154 outputs an inverted value so I have to invert every output which I did tying the 2 inputs of NAND gates(I have a buttload of these 74ls00 chips) together to make an inverter.


Sadly my multiplexor is not working right so I need to make a multiplexor from NAND gates. Here's what that would look like:


Yeah, I'm not doing that. From my swiggles one can see I will need 12 gates to get it done. That's 3 chips all wired up for a proof of concept experiment that is unneeded because I've already proven I can move the motor using the sequence I did. Bah, be gone with it!

Click Bait Using Logan Paul's Name and Face

-

It's not really clickbait since I am commenting on him. I want you to look long and hard into his face and think about what you see. Before the trending tile on my tablet directed the browser to his apology video, I had never read or heard his name. I watched a few seconds of it and didn't see anything of value to me. As in, I was bored. My first impression told me he had a weird looking long face and his hair was stupid.  I know that is shallow and of no consequence so I gave it not another thought.  Over the next few weeks, more an more things about him touched my consciousness and I watched a video made by a former friend of his. Later, I was shocked to learn he earned a million dollars a month making outrageous videos popular with preteens. I didn't watch any of his videos and still haven't. This is my opinion- he's nothing; empty. He gettin pizzaid to be nothing.

Fate of the Furious Ending Scene

I was watching the ending scene where everyone is hanging out of the rooftop. As the camera pulled away from the actors I noticed something strange. The focal length of the camera was changed as the camera pulled away.  I decided to figure out where that was. I knew it was in New York City somewhere because of the establishing shots. After watching the sweeping shots in and out of the picnic scene and looking for visual clues, I found it: 767 10th Ave, New York, NY 10019  It's the building wherein resides Sonny's Groceries.   I wish I would have captured some images from the DVD but the library wanted it back. Before that, however, I matched up my view from Google Earth to fit the frame as best matches it in the movie.  You will have to watch it yourself to see how well I did. The whole city is a CG model and that rooftop is a fiction. Also, the tall building behind the one in the scene was made much shorter or removed altogether so the twin Clinto

3d Printer Part 14

Tonite, I modified a few reset buttons(dpst) from old computers from normally open to normally closed. Those switches work nicely because they come with the Dupont plugs that fit my RAMPS shield. They are going to be used as end stops(currently I'm just using jumpers) The end stops are needed to establish an origin in the Cartesian geometry the printer uses to to determine where to put plastic. It won't be to long before I can start calibrating and then I can run the slicer program. Before I do that, I'm going to move the gantry back a couple inches because in my lack of planning(true intp), the build bed doesn't get enough travel under where the j head is going to traverse. I get the slicer dealie running, that'll be a cool video! Imma have to find some nice funky music for it. I know I didn't mention I was going to do this but hopefully I can put together the protection circuit for my sound-card oscilloscope this weekend. I've wanted an o
