The Gloink rolls! All will be Gloink!

Custom battery pack for the Gloink, and make-do wiring, to do some testing and initial measurements.

The mess before the PCB gets spun is always the worst.

We made the mock UI for configuring Dynamic RC!

It shows how you map buttons to channels, this one is using our method to make spreadsheet-style formulas that run on-device.

Any ideas for other ways to map buttons to servos, motors, relays we could try out?

Mechanical design in-progress for Dynamic RC. 10 channels, two inputs, and programmable button mappings for your Bluetooth gamepad.

Our goal is to make including servos, relays and lights, SUPER easy. We built tools that make it quick and easy to configure, with lots of flexibility.

Testing the CNC controls for the first time. Starting with the pulse generator, axis selection and homing.

Each button press or dial change sends Gcode to the CNC controller.

I love the control panel I made for my DIY CNC. Each cherry MX switch sends the Gcode directly into the CNC controller, and shows status and toggles.

It was really fun to design and build this configurable panel setup, based around Eurorack rails.

The Gloink build progresses! I have some testing and experiments to run on controlling the reaction wheel. This is a quick testbed for that!

Soon, all will be Gloink!

Today's project is a prototype reaction wheel for our "Gloink" build. We'll make the real one w/ metal in the future. The holes are for M5 bolts to vary the mass.

Using a BLDC motor, with this print, to figure out the control formulas. Then to figure out motion and steering.
