Re: Cleaning gear motors

Cool, looks like a good future investment. I can unscrew the gear box and dunk them in. Would it remove trapped hair as well?

Cleaning gear motors

Hello,

Anyone got any helpful tips on removing hair and gunk from the gears on the N20 motors.

Iniantly I thought fire but didn’t want to damage any thing. So I took it apart and used a small screw driver to pick out the gunk. It just took ages...

Cheers
Paul

Re: "Flip-it” new build/project

Ah ok, I just presumed the Nrf24l01 was the same as an RC protocol just didn’t link to any of the well known brands. The Radiohead library works on quiet a few modules. I just chose the NRF24l01 as you could get one with a amplifier and one that was small enough to fit in an Antweight. Plus there ar...

Re: "Flip-it” new build/project

Cool, how've you done that? I see some kind of Arduino-type board, what protocol does the radio run on? Does it use a RC protocol? Or bluetooth? Wifi? Something else? Mark It uses RC protocol, you have to set the frequency up to match the modules. Here is a guide on how to use the modules. I just a...

Re: "Flip-it” new build/project

Made myself a Transmitter. Printing lid and adding in a switch still need to be done. I am powering it using a 1s lipo (18650 rescued from a broken laptop) and boosting it up to 5v. I have now built all the components for a DIY robot. When I get some spare time around Christmas I am going to write a...

Re: 3D printer supplies

I went to the TCT exhibition at the NEC yesterday and saw this auto tool changing on a 3D printer being demonstrated. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn4gWYOzHxQ Wow so clever. I bet a little expensive. I’m looking forward to when they combine 3D scanners with a 3D printer. Scan your item and have it print...
