So, today I’m gonna show you how I use my CNC for more then making it. First we need a motif. I searched the internets for a picture of something pretty or cool, then I stumbled upon this image of Scarlett Johansson. Then you need to pre-process it a bit, I removed all the things [...]
Of course I needed a little program to send gcodes to my arduino that controles the engines. That was pretty simple since I already had serial connection code up and running. this is how it looks: the -X and X moves 1cm to the left and right. the small x’s move a mm. The y’s [...]
I know these post are getting norm here, especialy the tecnology part of it. Soon though I’ll post a video of the CNC making something. But this post is about the arduino code I modified to controll the motors. I was going to try more then the reprap old old old gcode interpreter, but I [...]
I made a CNC machine, a mill, CNC stands for Computed Numerically Controlled, so it’s a mill I can control with my computer. You already knew this of course. So why would someone of my rockstar status and charisma take on such a nerdish task? Well when I first really saw one was a water-jet [...]
So I went to that the Norbergfestival again, with Linus, Petter and Sållet. I had fun, Hecate was entertaining, as was Dj Gay’s Anatomy. Zabutom makes much better gig’s when he’s not drunk on alcohol I tricked him into drinking. Teenage Engineering was supposed to let us feel the OP-1, but they where to busy [...]
Ok, so I went to bed at about 12, but my wife has to get up at five in the morning didn’t want me to read in bed. So I went downstairs to read for a while. I thought the dog was to loud when she was drinking water out of the bowl until I [...]
a selfmade circuit a boss rc-2 and a korg monotron was seriously harmed today when I decided to make this little tune: P.S. more information about the mystery circuit later
In the wait for my CNC-parts to show up, I tried my make a lot of holes approach to make a screen-print stencil. First of a picture of the paper that I printed the motif on and later used as a guide for the drilling of the holes in a plastic oh paper. This is [...]
Me and Petter have been preparing for a gig at Norbergfestival’s openstage, we have this sofar: A few small additions to the live-rig, say like a circuit-bent delay pedal behind the drums and we’re golden!
yeah, I’ve been reading up on CNC-machines. Obsessed even. The way you can be before a big build. So what are my findings? There are a few (what it appears) good looking small mills, if you want to CNC PBS’s and the such. They are not big enough for what I want though. what it [...]
