Kamu Johansen commented on Shannon Morrisey's blog post Industrial Robot Porn"Ha thanks Shannon.
Ah I wish I could have one of the industrial ones to play around with. Wonder how cheap a 2nd hand one can be had for..."
Shannon Morrisey commented on Shannon Morrisey's blog post Industrial Robot Porn"Kamu, new industrial bots are anywhere from tens to hundreds of thousand USD, an easy decision for many companies with high manufacturing labor costs. If you want a robotic arm for your desk, I like this one and this…"

"That's awesome.
Reminds me a few months ago I was at a manufacturing expo, and they had all of these state of the art CNC machine tools set up. That was really impressive as well. The most fascinating was actually the automatic…"

I met some new industrial robots in the flesh at ATX West (Automation Technology Expo). Nothing particularly groundbreaking here, but the speed and dexterity of the latest generation is remarkable (many were too fast for my phone's camera frame rate). There were a ton of these 4 and 6-axis delta robots (ones with 3 skinny steel arms). Also saw the very cool Festo adaptive gripper (first clip holding Cadbury egg) and some giant 3D printers. Like a kid in a candy store.See More
Shannon Morrisey commented on Shannon Morrisey's blog post Top-Heavy Airborne Pyramids for Improved Stability"I gave this a little more thought and have a very simple theory about what's happening here. Building on Cliff-E's idea - but assuming the force's orientation to the cg is not the driving factor:Gravity has little actual bearing on…"
Shannon Morrisey replied to Stefan Weber's discussion Looking for Arduino PWM Pins"Hopefully this helps.
Link is located here.
MUX is only 1 and 2, i believe.
What are your plans for the CAN Shield?"
Ben Halsted commented on Shannon Morrisey's blog post Top-Heavy Airborne Pyramids for Improved Stability"Who would have imagined that people who build robots for fun would also be fans of science fiction? ;-)
On topic, the natural flight correction is particularly interesting to me. I am already thinking of potential applications that would be enhanced…"

Paul Marsh commented on Shannon Morrisey's blog post Top-Heavy Airborne Pyramids for Improved Stability"P.S. -- This fictional pyramid was more-or-less hollow. It landed over another pyramid, I believe. Fact following fiction?"

Cliff-E commented on Shannon Morrisey's blog post Top-Heavy Airborne Pyramids for Improved Stability"Back to the article, one can say the resultant force is under the cg in the top heavy scenario vs. the force on the bottom heavy scenario (since a force is generated at the pyramid structure). Very possible the resultant force is acting further away…"

"Hmm, Lucas is not that bad, please. But, he'd have a hard time defending against lawsuits from Frank Herbert's family, give that so much of the concept of Tattooine was stolen straight of of Dune. "
ModeratorJack Crossfire commented on Shannon Morrisey's blog post Top-Heavy Airborne Pyramids for Improved Stability
"Unfortunately, Lucas owns the copyright on the words "pyramid" & "for". He'd go after you, then he'd sue Pirate Bay for $100 trillion."

- I work on FPGAs and related circuitry for DSP [RADAR and IR sub-systems] also do some corporate recruiting
Extracurricular: Developing novel apparatus for flight control surfaces also for landing gear
- Tell us a bit about your UAV interest
- I like drones. I like them a lot. Drones complete me.
I don't recall if it was 'Star Wars' or 'Flight of the Navigator' that spawned my fascination with aerospace & automation, but the rest is...
