Recently, I wrote about building a small CNC machine. I started to modify pcb2gcode, so that it is usable with Marlin/grbl type of CNC controllers (which, admittedly, support only a basic subset of proper G-code commands).
Mainly, my issues were:
During the last few months I have slowly been building a desktop CNC router. It is loosely based on Pleasant Mill by Zaggo, which in turn is loosely based on famous Mantis mill.
I changed some parts of Zaggo's design to my liking:
This is the second part of building a RaspberryPi powered CarPC. I ended previous entry with seemingly nice photos of home etched PCB of hardware revision 1. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned, and I had to derail this project a bit.
After careful inspection of rev 1 PCB …
In the meantime while I gather enough courage/dedication to finish the projects I have started (e.g. master's degree, carpc build), I wanted to share what else I have been working on.
It all started with an idea about SLS 3d printer, using light-curing resin and …
So, half a year has passed by since I received Stellaris Launchpad kits from Texas Instruments. I just could not resist the temptation to get two of them for $5 each and I might just have found an application for them. Okay, let's write some code.
Wait, I have no …
This is a post which briefly describes why I have moved on from Drupal to managing my static file with the help of pelican.
This is the first part of building a RaspberryPi powered carpc.
Over a course of few months (been busy with, eh, life) I've designed the first iteration of custom Atmega-based circuit which lets me interface with car's electronics.
The main part of schematics (pdf)

Some time ago, I got myself a Raspberry Pi. Initially it was supposed to replace my home-theater PC but I found it's too slow. So, I had a problem- what to do with such a nitty device of Pi.
This was not the only problem I had- my old …
