Building a Motor vibration sensor
This is putting together the concept of a motor vibration sensor and data logger. The need comes from wanting to get vibration reading from the outboard locations of a flying drone. The idea is to have a unit that can attach to the drone strut close to the motor propeller combination. There are a few…
Scanning Technology Overview
Scanning Technology Overview Stationary Structured Light – 3D scanning technology projects structured light patterns on a surface and uses integrated camera(s) to translate the data it returns into a 3D mesh of the item. The sensor typically remains stationary while scanning and it may be accompanied by a turntable to rotate the part to capture 360…
Hot end upgrade to extruder/hotend combo
