[[Dorkmo To Do List]]


*Finish battery charger for a wireless controller box [[LiPo_Charger_USB_v18.02]]
=Feb 3, 2020=
*Reduce Latency with XBee radios
*Attempt to make wireless remote control box compatible with both CEB Press and MicroTrac
**[[MicroTrac Controller v17.10]] [[CEB_Press_Controller_v17.08]]
*[[CEB_Press_v17.08/SCAD_Files/#To_Do]]
*[[OSE_CircularKnitic_v18.03#To_Do]]
*[[Freezer to Refrigerator Conversion]]
**Finish Step by Step
**Polish BOM
 
=July 22, 2018=
 
*Got OSE Linux to boot up on my laptop
**The laptop i have has an intel integrated graphics chip and also an nvidia chip
**In the bios i had to select "disable" for the option "3D Graphic Acceleration"
**I'm not sure if thats related to the intel or nvidia.
 
[[Image:KIMG0168 1.JPG|400px]]
 
=July 21, 2018=
 
*tweaked the BOM for [[MicroTrac Controller v18.02]]
**Think im going to abandon the Lithium battery option for the remote control
***Too expensive, extra work, and only ground shipping.
**Just going to use a 6 cell AA holder with a panel mount plug for swapping
***could use 2 panel mounts wired in parallel and it'd be hot swappable
 
=July 10, 2018=
 
*Attempted to put [[OSE Linux]] on a usb stick.
**Used Rufus on Windows 10
**When after selecting to boot from USB i get the Ubuntu logo
**After a few seconds the loading dots freeze and nothing happens
**Will try booting from a different computer soon.
 
=June 19, 2018=
 
*formatting kit page for the freezer [[Kits_-_Superfridge_Conversion]]
 
=June 9 ,2018=
 
*Started measuring parts for LiPo charger case [[LiPo_Charger_USB_v18.02#Case]]
*Need to solder up and check to see if it'll work
**might use ethernet wire for the USB digital signal wires because of tiny holes on PCB
*Made contact with someone who was working on their own fork of the Circle Knitic
 
=June 3, 2018=
 
*Learning how to use GitHub a little better.
**Downloaded the desktop software.
***Cloned to desktop. Opened File Folder. Opened File, made changes. Then sent changes back to cloud.
 
 
=May 27, 2018=
 
*Updated the Kit.com inventory for the [[Freezer to Refrigerator Conversion]] shopping list.
 
=May 24, 2018=
 
Hello to the new wiki!
 
=May 20, 2018=
 
*went through measurements in [[CircularKnitic_Parametric]] to create diagram of needle location in relation to key parts of structure
*going to use diagram to distill new variables of relationships between needle and strcuture. then use for parametric needle variables in [[OSE_CircularKnitic_v18.03]]

*just found OpenScad's MCAD, http://reprap.org/wiki/MCAD
*ordered heat sinks and fans for circularknitic power electronics
**looks like you can make gears quick and easy? need to test it out.

*could be handy for circularknitic

*mostly finished with the [[OSE CircularKnitic v18.03#CKpM.scad "mountain"]]
**probably some bugs that need tweaking, ill let them suprise me later
*going to slowly build a circularknitic. started a build log [[User:Dorkmo/Builds/CircularKnitic]]
**ordered some needles
**need to measure their dimensions before rendering parts that need to be 3dprinted.
*added a few details to the [[Freezer_to_Refrigerator_Conversion/Manufacturing_Instructions]]
**plan on doing a fresh build and take pictures each step

wired up a test box. having trouble triggering relay. probably not enough signal voltage from microcontroller. need to test output from arduino MKR1000 further. I think i might need a diode with the resistor?
*Mar from CircularKnitic suggested using solenoid to operate the needle movement
**due to the limited travel distance, i think some sort of lever with a bearing will be needed
**will need to transfer the lever's circular motion into linear
**https://www.digikey.com/products/en/motors-solenoids-driver-boards-modules/solenoids-actuators/180?v=527


got everything to fit inside a 4x4x2 conduit box. used stepped drill bit to cut holes. then tied knot in wire to keep it from pulling out.

*perhaps could define p4clear possibly as low as 1/2 of -p4rampH? maybe -1/3*p4rampH ?
**this would reduce needle travel and shrink mountain
*Applied to show CircularKnitic at MakerFaireTulsa https://tulsa.makerfaire.com/


Added wiring harness for fridge conversion. Tweaked BOM.

*worked on knitic
**changed to a printed drive gear
***avoiding a $6 single source part
**added holes for stepper motor
***could use regular DC, but in the future might use steps to customize mountain use
**changed table top to octogon, added holes for mounting legs
***calculating tabletop OD using stepper motor width and gear sizes
**added some needles to the full assembly model to check placement
**need to add bolts to smallbearingholder to make sure the nut/head dont hit anything


Signed up for Kit.com. Prepping new amazon.com based BOM for [[Freezer to Refrigerator Conversion]].
