Assembled some parts'n'wires and checked out the new motor controller....working better than expected. One of the 3 gear motors I ordered cooperated with the effort quite well. Just a few more tweaks and I will be ready for a "how to". Break in the middle of the day - a tour for my new buddy Chuck Monson from Looziana. For enquiring minds I am providing an underside view of my soldering prowess. 77,86,68, .03" overnight, B

John,
ReplyDeleteReally good soldering job. It should serve you very well. Looking forward to the "how to".
Nice soldering job... I've been building guitar effects for 5 years and I still don't get it that clean without luck lol
ReplyDeletealso I love how the shot of the assembly has that "mars rover on mars" vibe.
ReplyDeleteBack in the 70's I worked for ITT Courier down in Tempe, AZ and did ALOT of soldering. You have a steady hand J flux W.
ReplyDeletenice solder beads! do you outsource your work? ;O)
ReplyDeleteplease post a how to. as a photo nut, i'm interested!
Solderin job looks pretty good... what's up with the empty holes though??? :) ;)
ReplyDeleteSome sweet work, John. Looking forward to the "How To" also. I want one of these!
ReplyDeleteYour contraption looks like it not only rotates, but also sweeps from side to side, with the long arm and gears.
I sure admire your inventiveness, and your knowlege and dexterity with electronic components.
Checking in on your blog is always an entertaining and learning experience. Thanks for all you do and share.
