*[https://github.com/dorkmo/OSE-TorchTable-dorkmo-201808 dorkmo torch table github]
*Mar from CircularKnitic suggested using solenoid to operate the needle movement
*priced out a few pieces on 3Dhubs.com just to ballpark cost
**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

*looking at options for high torque steppers
*perhaps could define p4clear possibly as low as 1/2 of -p4rampH? maybe -1/3*p4rampH ?
**found this one [https://catalog.orientalmotor.com/item/2-phase-bipolar-stepper-motors/42mm-pkp-series-2-phase-bipolar-stepper-motors/pkp246d15a2 oriental motor]
**this would reduce needle travel and shrink mountain
**needs 24V 1.5A
*Applied to show CircularKnitic at MakerFaireTulsa https://tulsa.makerfaire.com/
**I dont think polulu outputs enough to run two steppers on the same driver for the same axis like prusa
**AutoDriver says can handle 3A but not sure how to integrate with arduino control etc

*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

*trying to swap out hydraulic motor in microtrac freecad file. [[File:430260W3131AAAAA.FCStd]]
*proposed new design [[RotoKnitic v19.01]]
**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?

*Got OSE Linux to boot up on my laptop
*cleaning up circular knitic design
**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.

*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

*Attempted to put [[OSE Linux]] on a usb stick.

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?
 
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.
 
=Mar 24, 2018=
 
Added wiring harness for fridge conversion. Tweaked BOM.
