Mechaduino! E o Tripteron, Logos, Magical Industry(!), e Flexo

Um Feliz, Geek, e Engenhocas 2017!!!

Mechaduino?

É um Servo-Motor, com Controlador, que podem programar, para que possam controlar os Steppers, sem gastar uma fortuna, sim como o Arduino, mas para a Mecatrónica.

Por isso, apoiem este importante Projecto, que é algo que faltava.

Mechaduino - Powerful open-source industrial servo motor. 

Mechaduino is an Arduino for mechatronics! Mechaduino is a self-contained motion control platform which allows you to develop your own custom servo mechanisms. It can be also be used as a drop-in servo motor for 3D printers and CNC machines. No more missed steps!

Engineers use servo motors to achieve the precision motion required in applications such as robotics, automation, and CNC manufacturing.  Like RC servos, industrial servos actively correct for external disturbances.  Unlike RC servos, industrial servos can provide very accurate motion, and often support advanced motion control modes.  Unfortunately the cost of industrial servos is prohibitive to the individual maker (thousands of dollars per motor)

Este Artigo, é tão importante, que vai Trilingue, com esta apresentação em Português, que tenho mais coisas a mostrar, e pouco tempo, e as descrições originais em Inglês e Francês!
Básicamente, este produto da Universidade Canadiana Laval, do Quebec, é um melhor sistema que os outros todos, porque em vez de ser um Robot Cartesiano funionando em Série, é um Robot que funciona em paralelo.

A vantagem principal, vê-se logo, é que é mais robusto e estável, e ainda menos sensível aerros derivados da Inércia dos movimentos, e cada eixo funciona independentemente.
Engenhocas, toca a fazer máquinas CNC muito mais sólidas!

No fim,têem um link para os vídeos da Universidade.

TRIPTERON 

The tripteron is a 3-DOF translational parallel mechanism. The prototype was first developed through mathematical derivations (systematic type synthesis) based on screw theory. This unique and patented robot enables linear displacements in all directions. It is in fact equivalent to serial Cartesian robots. But since it is a parallel robot, it offers numerous other advantages, including the positioning of its actuators on the base, which reduces the moving inertia and thus allows rapid movements.
Moreover, the tripteron has very simple kinematics, which are actually the same as those of serial Cartesian robots. Also, this robot is isotropic and fully decoupled, i.e. each of the actuators is controlling one Cartesian degree of freedom, independently from the others. This robot thus has no singularities within its workspace and its dexterity is always optimal.
This video-clip shows a tripteron in action.

TRIPTERON
Le tripteron est un mécanisme parallèle à translations à 3 ddl. Le prototype a d'abord vu le jour à travers les formules mathématiques (synthèse systématique) et la théorie des visseurs. Robot unique, et breveté, il permet de réaliser des déplacements linéaires dans toutes les directions. C'est en fait l'équivalent des robots cartésiens sériels. Mais, puisqu'il est parallèle, il possède de nombreux autres avantages, notamment le positionnement des actionneurs sur la base, qui allège la partie mobile et permet ainsi des mouvements rapides et une réduction du gauchissement.
Le tripteron a de plus une cinématique très simple, en fait la même que les robots cartésiens sériels. Mais ce qui retient le plus notre attention, est qu'il soit isotrope et découplé. Ceci signifie qu'il garde la même précision de mouvement, peu importe l'endroit où il se trouve, et que cette précision est directement celle des moteurs (la précision de positionnement de l'effecteur est habituellement inférieure à celle des moteurs). Chacun des moteurs contrôle indépendemment une des translations. Le tripteron ne comporte donc aucune singularité à l'intérieur de son espace de travail et sa dextérité est toujours optimale.
Cette vidéo montre un tripteron en action.

Talvez seja o que nós Inventores esperávamos, talvez não...
Ou até pode servir às mil maravilhas para uns, e não servir para nada, para outros;
O que é certo, é que podem ir ver se é mesmo isto, pelo simples método de se inscreverem neste Projecto que foi criado pela AIP, que, se for a sério, está de parabéns.

É claro que eu, já me inscrevi, e darei notícias:

Magical Industry Tour

“Magical Industry Tour” oferece prototipagem e apoio nas plataformas crowdfunding a inventores com produtos vendáveis 

Transformar as ideias dos inventores portugueses em produtos vendáveis à escala global com recurso a financiamento por crowdfunding é o desafio lançado pelo “Magical Industry Tour”, projecto que a AIP apresentou no dia 7 de Dezembro, na sua sede, em Lisboa, num encontro em que intervieram o presidente da AIP, José Eduardo Carvalho, o professor António Câmara, empreendedores, empresários e outros especialistas.

Encorajar a invenção e o empreendedorismo em Portugal com vista à criação de empresas inovadoras e globais é o objectivo do “Magical Industry Tour”, o novo programa da AIP que oferece a possibilidade de fabricar protótipos. O desafio é encontrar produtos inovadores e lança-los no mercado global com o apoio de plataformas “crowdfunding”.

O projecto disponibiliza uma plataforma online de conteúdos que visa a disseminação da informação necessária para a geração de novas ideias, desenvolvimento de protótipos, protecção da propriedade intelectual, comunicação e angariação de financiamentos. Prevê ainda a realização de “workshops” em todo o país, acompanhados por uma unidade móvel, equipada para formação e desenvolvimento de protótipos. Estas iniciativas são necessárias para encorajar a internacionalização dos actuais inventores e para o aparecimento de novos criadores e empreendedores.

Neste primeiro evento do “Magical Industry Tour”, que representou o arranque público do projecto, foram analisadas as melhores práticas internacionais ao nível da “cultura maker”, explicadas as formas de acelerar ideias e promover conteúdos conducentes à criação de empresas, divulgada a prototipagem como instrumento de suporte e teste de produtos, as acções necessárias para proteger a inovação e indicados os instrumentos de financiamento mais adequados à “cultura maker”. 

http://www.magicalindustry-aip.pt/

Prototipar, não é fácil...

Era bem melhor fazer os protótipos em Lego, mas às vezes, as peças tinham de ser elásticas, e isso não havia...

MAS JÁ HÁ!

Uma das tais ideias de dar 'coa mão na testa, cá têem peças elásticas para o que precisarem!

Impecável.

3D em grande! E a Mecânica dos Redutores, Moldar com Fita, Bluetooth HID bem barato, e mais uma Impressora 3D bem barata!

Não  é preciso ter de imprimir pecinhas pequeninas, não com esta proposta de Incheon, na Coreia do Sul.

Com preços a partir de 500 Dólares, em Kit...

Eis um Projecto a apoiar.

 

Want a bigger printer ? You can easily expand our printers. Reasonably priced LARGE print bed.

bigger 3D printers  

After a year of hardwork. Blood (literally) sweat, and tears. It is time..  We are Colossal3D.  ( c3d for short ). And there is only one goal for us. We will make larger 3D printers available at a reasonable price. By larger we mean ½ meter print bed or larger. With our expansion kit, print area can go to 1 1/2 meters, 2 meters or more. No need to buy another printer. Bored with printing something that can fit in a suitcase. You can print the suitcase. 

How about printing a big Drone that can fly for hours or carry a heavy payload ? Or a custom Kevlar bicycle frame (2 pieces, frame and front forks),  a backpack, a toolbox, an insane chair for computer gaming, or a canoe. Not in 12 pieces, in only 1 piece. With multiple extruders, parts can be printed in multiples. With a second controller board it is possible to use 2 independent gantries on the larger printers. A first in the consumer 3D realm.  

We offer 3 types of printer. Desktop. $2000. 1 Cubic meter $2,500, and 2 Cubic meter with plexiglass enclosure. Price on request. 

UPDATE !!  We offer D I Y kits for $500 lower price.

Dica de Rodrigo Vertulo, no Blogue Laboratótio de Electrónica, aprendam, com as necessárias equações, como reduzir a velocidade, aumentando a potência...

Ou ao contrário, se invertermos a ordem das rodas dentadas: 

Redutores; nem sempre mais rápido é melhor!

Rodrigo Vertulo

 

O uso de motores na automação de processos industriais é uma realidade incontestável e a presença dos diversos modelos de motores é facilmente notada nos variados tipos de máquinas que “populam” os parques industriais, sendo, inclusive, intensamente utilizados nos robôs industriais como principal elemento de movimentação desses equipamentos.

Os motores em geral possuem duas características muito importantes que devem ser levadas em consideração ao serem utilizados, ou seja, a velocidade de rotação e o torque. A velocidade de rotação determina quantas voltas por minuto o eixo do motor é capaz de executar e normalmente é chamada de RPM (rotações por minuto). Por outro lado, o torque é a força que aparece no eixo do motor quando ele gira e depende da distância entre o ponto em que uma carga é aplicada ao eixo até o centro do mesmo. Em outras palavras, quanto maior for o torque do motor maior é a sua capacidade de movimentar cargas mais pesadas.

Cast or Pattern Anything with Duct tape

ashleyjlong

 

In this Ible I'll be showing you how to use regular ol' duct tape to duplicate an existing object, then create a 2-dimensional pattern from the duct tape duplicate. This may not be one of my more attractive Ibles, but the methods explained herein have infinite applications if you're a prop builder, costumer, or puppet maker. In fact, the woman who taught me this method worked for the Henson Co. for many years and said this was how they'd get patterns for "skinning" puppets after the forms had been carved out of foam.

This is a very budget friendly method for the following problems:

--I want to make a corset/costume, but I don't have a dress form. Just to give you an idea of the potential here, I've included a photo of a duct tape full body cast my friend, artist Deb Winslow, made in order to fit armor for a masquerade ball we attend.

--I want to re-upholster this prop, but I don't want to massacre the original to get a pattern.

--I have a cool object I want to duplicate, but I don't have the skills/ materials/ workspace to do casting and molding. Mold making putty works fine for small objects, as in my Glitter Grenade Soap Ible, but larger objects may be best served by this duct tape treatment.

Para ligarem mais não sei o quê, por Bluetooth, eis um Instructable para o fazerem, e por um preço bem em conta...

3 Dólares! 

$3 Bluetooth HID Module (HC05 With RN42 Firmware)

EvanKale

 

Bluetooth HID (human interface device) modules will let you create bluetooth peripherals that can pair with mobile devices out-of-the-box (like bluetooth keyboards, gamepads, mice, etc.).

If we're looking to build our own bluetooth HID device, the hefty price of a single HID module can spike the budget of a project (like the BlueSMiRF HID for $40 USD, or the BlueFruit EZ-KEY HID for $20 USD).

An inexpensive bluetooth serial module commonly used by hobbyists, the HC-05, sells for $3 USD, but is not HID capable by default. With a bit of a firmware hack though, we can turn this cheaper module into a bluetooth HID module.

E por falar em, barato, eis mais uma Impressora 3D para combater a Crise, uma versão aproximada da Ultimaker, mas por quase um terço do preço a Ultifaker!

UltiFaker²Go 3D Printer

PaulSS 

I set out to make a 3D printer about 3 months ago. I had been eyeballing designs like the Prusa i3 or a delta style printer but I wanted something a little bit more sturdy, less "hack job" looking, and a printer challenging enough to make it interesting. I decided to go with a "clone" of the Ultimaker²Go mostly because it's small enough that the side panels could be machined in my CNC router.

I also didn't want to do a direct clone. The Ultimaker²Go sells for a whopping $1600 and I wanted to keep the price around $500-$600. I decided to heavily tweak the design and components in order to drop that cost. This build requires that you have some sort of CNC router capability unfortunately unless you want to use 6mm birch plywood as the paneling (totally doable) and drill and cut the panels by hand.

É bom!

Solder Sleeves
Solder, heat shrink and waterproof your splices in one operation.

This is the easiest way to make soldered splice in your wiring. It is our favorite way to extend the wires on stepper motors.
This part combines a low temperature solder ring inside a piece of clear heat shrink tubing. It also has rings of hot melt glue at each end. You strip each wire, insert one from each end and cross the stripped ends inside the solder ring. You then heat the tubing with a heat gun. The solder and glue melts and the tubing shrinks. You get a reliable, insulated, waterproof and soldered connection in one operation.
It is also great when you need to fan out one wire to several wires. This often happens when you have one ground terminal, but four wires coming to it. Place the four wires in one end and one in the other end.

https://www.inventables.com/technologies/solder-sleeves

Um Computador por 9 Dólares? 
Com ligação Wifi, e gestão de Bateria?
Sim, se só precisarem de computadorizar uma Engenhoca, ou terem um Smartphone ou Tablet feito à vossa medida, porque este liga-se a um Televisor, ou Écran de Smartphone, com Monitor é mais caro.

Next Thing Co. Releases “World’s First” $9 Computer

David Scheltema

Snuggly situated in an industrial section of Oakland, CA is Next Thing Co. a team of nine artists and engineers who are pursuing the dream of a lower cost single board computer. Today they’ve unveiled their progress on Kickstarter, offering a $9 development board called Chip.

The board is Open Hardware, runs a flavor of Debian Linux, and boasts a 1Ghz R8 ARM processor, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB of eMMC storage. It is more powerful than a Raspberry Pi B+ and equal to the BeagleBone Black in clock speed, RAM, and storage. Differentiating Chip from Beagle is its built-in WiFi, Bluetooth, and the ease in which it can be made portable, thanks to circuitry that handles battery operation.

Pois aqui vai uma que podem fazer em casa, baseado no Ilustre trabalho da casa Gingery:

Make Your Own Injection Molding Machine

John Hannon

Tried, true, and totally doable. Start cranking out solid thermoplastic parts.

Sometimes there’s a tool you want to buy, but you can’t justify the cost. In that case, why not make it? For me, a plastic injection molding machine fell into that category — and it turns out they’re not hard to make.

I wanted to make solid plastic parts for some of my amateur science experiments. There are a number of ways to make things out of plastic, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Often just cutting raw material to the desired shape works best. Some plastics can be cast by pouring a liquid resin with hardener into a mold (see “DIY Rotocaster,” Make: Volume 41). Vacuum forming works well for making things out of thin sheets of plastic (see “Kitchen Floor Vacuum Former,” Make: Volume 11). I considered making a 3D printer, but for the few plastic parts I envisioned needing, it wasn’t worth the time and money.

Plastic injection molding has been around since thermoplastics were invented. It’s a great way to make many copies of a part quickly, and what I like best is that it’s easy to reuse old plastic objects to make new ones.

So I built an injection molder based on the plans in Vincent R. Gingery’s book Secrets of Building a Plastic Injection Molding Machine. David Gingery could be considered a forerunner of the Maker Movement — he and his son Vincent have written a whole series of books on building tools for the machine shop.

WASP 3D printer creates hyper-local affordable house with the help of clay and seeds for stability

The English word house derives directly from the Old English Hus meaning "dwelling, shelter, home, house,”. It is one of man's three most important necessities. The other two being food and clothing. Shelter protects man from wind and rain, and from hot and cold weather. It shields him against insects and wild animals, and helps protect him from other dangers. We as mankind have been building houses ever since we moved out of a nomadic lifestyle of a cave man to a civilized being. Throughout history of our species we have been building houses with our hands, however 3d printing is going to change that forever.

New Zealand Man 3D Prints the World’s Smallest Working Drill — Just 7.5mm Wide

Eddie Krassenstein

3D printing has shown that it is the perfect technology to use when wishing to create something unique, whether it is a piece of jewelry, a keepsake, or even a house or car. The technology, unlike that of more traditional means of manufacturing, is an affordable way of creating one-of-a-kind products, and is one of the reasons I love covering the industry. There is always something new to report on, and today is no different.

Entirely 3D printed slicer for fruits and vegetables

A breakfast with appropriate nutritional value will keep us fresh and active for the entire day. Healthy breakfast should consist of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, honey in your food system, but the real hard and frustrating thing is that we need to cut all those fruits and vegetables which is time consuming as well. To put an end over this Jerry a mechanical designer from Slovakia has came out with 3d printed slicer that has several advantages.

O Universo Inter-ligado

Eu sempre acreditei que tudo está inter-ligado, e agora, este Cientista vai fazer um Filem em que o prova...

Como acho isto MUITO importante, cá vai o relato, e o Link para ajudarem o filme a ser acabado:

THE CONNECTED UNIVERSE FILM

Discover the science behind the interconnection of all things in the Universe.

EXPLORING "THE CONNECTED UNIVERSE"

Do you know how you are connected to all 7, 273,405, 490 people in the world?     Do you understand the connection that you share with all living things and also which patterns, that are found all across the Universe, are also found in you?

Discover amazing ideas that will not only help to change THE WORLD… these ideas will also help change YOUR WORLD.

 When you begin to truly see and understand how THE Universe is interconnected, YOUR Universe begins to expand and you begin to more deeply feel the connections that are all around you.

This documentary film explores new understandings in science that reveal a bigger picture of interconnection than we have ever imagined.  The first time that we looked back at Earth from space … humanity was changed forever.  When we changed our perspective (by rising above all the barriers and separations in our world) we could more easily see the Earth as one interconnected system… ONE planet, ONE home. There was a conscious shift in our understanding of the interconnected "butterfly effect" where each action in one part of the world would create a reaction somewhere else in the world.  This film makes connections on a universal scale.

New Kickstarter Promises “World’s Most Conductive Filament”
Matt Stultz

For a few years now, many of us in the 3D Printing community have been eagerly awaiting a highly-conductive filament that would allow us to print circuits as part of our 3D printed projects. Now a new kickstarter is promising a filament that is “1,000 times more electrically conductive” than previous filaments that have come to market. Using a dual extrusion machine and their new filament, the team at Functionalize has already created demos of a 3D printed flashlight and a magnetic levitation device.

Raspberry Pi Model A+ Revealed: Smaller and Just $20

Matt Richardson

This morning, the Raspberry Pi Foundation took the wraps off of their newest creation, the Raspberry Pi Model A+. Just as the original Model A was a stripped-down version of the Model B, the new A+ inherits the many improvements from the Model B+, but in a smaller size and with fewer features. Available for purchase starting today and pegged at a mere $20, the Model A+ is now cheapest Raspberry Pi that you can buy.
