**Polish BOM
 
=July 26, 2018=
 
*trying to swap out hydraulic motor in microtrac freecad file.
**i was able to import the file and haphazardly move it to the general area where it belongs.
**in sketchup i would typically draw some guidelines to find the center of the cricle, then snap the center of the motor to the guide lines in the Z, then the Y. Then grab the face of the motor and snap it to the face of the mount.
*need to learn how to move objects efficiently in freecad
**is there a way to place the face of one object against the face of another?
**is there a way to align the centers of two parts' shapes?
*going to do a test cube [[Developer Test]]
*can you teach an old dog new tricks?
 
=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.

*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]].
