Thank you Mr Redux

Maybe try a bit of Lithium grease? The white stuff they use on ball bearings on the bike. Tell Me did you use ABS? Will said in his video that abs was tougher but a bit more grippy IIRC. Maybe just use a drill bit and hand turn it inside some of the hole to give a bit less tolerance You might break the parts trying to get them apart so maybe do some test prints and see if youcan improve the movement of the joints by gently reaming out the inside of the holes with the correct size drill?

Will added the gerber file (for the board) as well as a bill of materials in his download pack. Also have a look at my video about ordering the parts and the board - It might help if youve never done it before. My videos at: ruclips.net/video/NRquXVQcvig/видео.htmlsi=1e5mjCNcpS-bz4Ju

I think there is a provision for sd card in the repo but that is more so you can have a persistent file system if I understood correctly. I've order a couple.of sd boards to try that side maybe after I do my pcb video, just waiting for the pcbs to arrive and test them. If you've developed some emulation already you can understand this better than me but being able to swap out the discs would be great.

@@spidermaf I've not examined the code fully but it should not be too much coding to have a bootable sd-card with a virtual file system or bootable disk images. I'm busy on other projects at the moment but I'm keen on working on this more.

@@spidermaf 👍

Ooh. That would be sweet. Not sure of the rp2040 capabilities compared to an ST but I bet someone will do it

@@spidermaf I put Mac roms into an ST TOS sockets and it works.😘 So reversing this, could work ....... ?

Would love an ST on a pico. Unfortunately don’t think enough ram on an RP2040 for a 512k ST, not even enough for the very early 256k models. The new RP2350 has double the ram but still wouldn’t be enough for the full 512k. The RP2350b though can have psram chip to expand ram. The Pimoroni pico2 plus uses it with 4mb of psram so hopefully someone will be able to develop it using one.

@alexcranmer8317 this is an amusing conversation as I was always an amiga lad and the great ST verses Amiga still burns strong probably.. but thinking about the chips in the amiga I doubt you could use the 2040 to emulate one completely, so I guess the ST would be similar. I had a device which took mac roms and allowed you to run apple stuff on the amiga, but doubt that's reversible. It just a case if the memory allows to get the emulator running on a Pico chip. Easy for me to say but need minds greater than mine to work it out. Anyone reading think it may be possible?

@@spidermaf Thanks for this guide, had been looking at building a picomac but never made my own builds before so will give it a try now. I was an ST guy so know a lot about that machine. Think it would be easier to emulate an ST than an Amiga as a more basic hardware used compared to the custom chips in the Amiga. Looking at the github for the picomac I think the maximum memory you can have on an RP2040 is 208k from the available 246k so would definitely limit an ST or Amiga build.

I know... Scarcity makes you buy it NOW

Thank you Mr Shack 😀

Hiya. Thanks for your offer. Not after any backers. (Apart from a pcb company!!!) My insta link is on my channel about page so reach out to me there if you want.

@@spidermaf If you think a pcb company is the way to go? hope project gets one? if keep price under or about $5 or £5 pounds, and small enough it could just standard letter in the post? antway giving sub' in hope you carry with project 🙂

@@spidermaf Hi. Thanks for getting back to me. I have watched your next video and it looks quite complicated! However it seems that even of you just want to get the standard UF2 file it is still not straightforward i.e. you have to generate it yourself and not just download it. So I think that I will have to wait until someone provides the UF2 file directly, be it for the Pico or the mini Pico... :-)

I wanted it to run on a smaller device

@@spidermaf ok , like see if it can be done but not for any practical purpose. pico 2 would give you much more ram 😄

All depends on what the end game is I suppose. No point in doing a vid about the pico version as its probably already out there and is relatively easy. "It's not so much the destination as the journey" - Jack Sparrow. Hehe

That's absolutely awesome! Well done Spidey 👏. Would you be willing to share the firmware at some point? I'm really looking forward to the next installment 👍

@@spidermaf If that's how you see things then I can't argue with that. 🤓

I'd rather be sponsored by JLCPCB... of they don't offer soon PCBway will be knocking at my door.... (in my dreams)

Of course. Just change the colour of the filament.

Yeah, I get you. I've always looked on aliexpress before, but am always surprised if I find something other than furry cat slippers on temu that is genuinely usable. In the UK now, ali applies import duty and vat (both valid) to transactions so sometimes temu can have equivalent shipped prices than alliexpress. To me, it's an interesting comparison. Thanks for your comments, the interaction is appreciated.

Well said sir :)

I’m actually planning a follow up to this as I printed the eyelids vertically which caused a lot of my issues with the joints breaking so I need to blame SpiderMaf and not imply it was Will (in case it sounded that way). I printed these on my Bambu p1s and the settings were just the standard settings for the Bambu pla matte filament I was using. So nothing special at all. If you want the specific settings I can load it all in again and check for you.

@@spidermaf The video sounds great! I'm using an Elegoo Neptune 3, it's hard to know if it's an issue with how I'm printing it, or if the printer just isn't up to snuff.

Its obviously a clone of the WaveShare board, but with lower build quality. If if works, its probably OK for hobby use.

Its a great little board isnt it.

Ah sorry. I just chose to do red and blue. It is an addressable rgb led, so I could have picked other colours or done purple, orange, etc, but I was trying to simplify the normal neopixel style code. It's slightly better than a pi with only one built-in led, which is always one colour. So you could use it to show status colours directly for instance.

It is a neopixel, or equivalent.

I'd like to see how that turned out.

@@spidermaf Sure! I'm working on a video about it on my main channel, not sure how to send you pictures / videos about it until then though. I'll send the link with the video is ready anyway

You can always message me on insta. Link on my channel about.

@@spidermaf I did but apparently it needs your answer to let me send it, thanks!

It just randomly suggested that when. I started filming. Not something I was searching for but something that I wanted to buy.

Yeah, it's interesting. Cheap enough to do some experiments with at some point. I wonder if the same happens with more expensive variants

I certainly did!

Yay!

Be my guest

That's what it's called. I should watch more @electroboom !

Yeah. That's a nice idea. I just wanted to do something visual and familiar.. I'll leave the science to the benchmarking guys 👦 thanks for your comment.

... has become.

Nah, shortish makes for easy counting. Count how many flashes each does in 20 seconds, and you can work how their speed difference.

Well the last two have had awful stats - so I went back to my roots.

That should be you're (the contraction of "you are") and not your (the possessive form). Back to school! 😁 An example: You're obviously not too clear about the difference between your you're and your your. Clear? 🤣

I'm sure I read it in one of the old radio engineers i used to work with copy of Practical Wireless years ago. Stays with you that sort of thing.

Hehe. If only...

Thank you! 😄

The base is just less than 14cm×10cm and with all the parts in its approx 6.5 cm high, although might go a little higher than that depending on the position of the up down servo linkage
