I was really impressed with the Axidraw once I was able to get it running. Its movements are very precise…
Stepper Motor Controller with H-Bridge
A lot of precision controlled elements in the world are moved using stepper motors. Stepper motors are pretty complicated when compared to simple DC motors. This complexity is where their precision originates. And in order control something that is complex, you need a controller that is also complex: an H-bridge circuit board.
Nostalgia in Virtual Reality
In Synthetic Architectures, we were asked to craft a virtual reality experience based on a single word. My project will…
