Star Trek Discovery Communicator Remix #3DThursday #3DPrinting

UnimatrixRed shares:

Here is a remix of the awesome Discovery communicator kit designed by mooslug. I love how the model is accurate so I wanted to make it as a static prop without electronics. I solidified the body and made the flip-up hinge mechanism printable and no screws are needed. The lid was split up in layers so it can be printed flat without having unsightly under-sides from using supports. There are tiny little pegs that can be used to align the lid’s layers–use a tweezer to insert them. The original unsplit lid is there too. I added pegs and notches to help align the face panels and trimmings. I printed the back cover upright.

Accelerating the discovery of new materials for 3D printing #3DPrinting

MIT Accelerating Materials 01 Press 0

Printing with different materials broadens the functionality of 3D printing. Now machines are taking over the search for new materials.

Via MIT:

To cut down on the time it takes to discover these new materials, researchers at MIT have developed a data-driven process that uses machine learning to optimize new 3D printing materials with multiple characteristics, like toughness and compression strength.

By streamlining materials development, the system lowers costs and lessens the environmental impact by reducing the amount of chemical waste. The machine learning algorithm could also spur innovation by suggesting unique chemical formulations that human intuition might miss.

Look inside the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi

Pi zero 2 w xray inverted

Jeff Geerling takes a look all the way through the ne w Pi Zero 2 W with an x-ray

Today, Raspberry Pi released their new Zero 2 W, and it includes a new Raspberry Pi-branded chip, labeled RP3A0-AU.

I was able to get early access to the Zero 2, and I have a full review of the device on my YouTube channel, but I wanted to share more of the X-ray images I took of the device to reveal its inner workings, and because I just think they look cool. Also, I paid a bit of money to get these pictures, so might as well share!

Pi 4 Board-to-Board Communication #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi

via Raspberry Pi Projects

In this lab, you will establish UART based communication channels between the Pi 4 and the HiFive 1 boards.

Part 0: Setup the UART connections (for TAs)
In this part, we will connect the HiFive1 and the Raspberry Pi 4 boards via two UART channels.

(Note that this step will be performed by the TAs.)

The Pi 4 has 4 UARTs and we will use two of them (uart2 and uart3). Add the following line at the end of the /boot/config.txt file to enable uart2 and uart3.

dtoverlay=uart2,115200 dtoverlay=uart3,115200

After rebooting the system, /dev/ttyAMA1 and /dev/ttyAMA2 will be created.

Screensaver on the Raspberry Pi #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi

via PiMyLifeUp

By default, Raspberry Pi OS uses screen blanking to hide the screen after a certain amount of time has passed. This method, simply put, stops video from being output by the Pi’s graphics processor.

If you prefer that your display remains on but still want the contents of the display hidden, you can use a screensaver.

A screensaver was originally designed to prevent burn-in from occurring on a CRT monitor by constantly changing what is being displayed. If you have ever looked into OLED displays, you will be familiar with burn-in as they face a similar issue.

The Kay-Berlin Food Computer with Raspberry Pi @Raspberry_Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi

“Food Computer” may be a bit misleading as a description for this project. The machine is less like a computing machine made from tasty snacks, and more like a fully-automated plant growth station. Here’s more from Raspberry Pi Blog:

“It is a fully automated growth chamber that can monitor over a dozen atmospheric and root zone variables and post them to an online dashboard for remote viewing,” Chris Regini tells us. He’s supervising both Noahs in this project. “In addition to collecting data, it is capable of adjusting fan speeds based on air temperature and humidity, dosing hydroponic reservoirs with pH adjustment and nutrient solutions via peristaltic pumps, dosing soil with water based on moisture sensor readings, adjusting light spectra and photoperiods, and capturing real-time and time-lapsed footage using a [Raspberry Pi] Camera Module NoIR in both daylight and night-time growth periods.”

Star Wars Arcade Cabinet Powered by Raspberry Pi @Raspberry_Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi

Who doesn’t want a Star Wars cabinet game? We could spend all day playing, and our housemates could just stand behind us saying “Stay on target! Stay on target!” But as time goes on, working versions of these cabinets are harder and harder to find. So make James Milroy just made one, with a little help from a Raspberry Pi. Here’s more from the Raspberry Pi Blog:

“My project was to build a replica, or as close as I could reasonably manage, of the Atari Star Wars arcade cabinet,” James Milroy tells [MagPi]. “I really wanted to build a cockpit as that’s what I played on in the eighties, but sadly I didn’t have the room to house it, so the compromise was to build a stand-up cabinet instead…. Initially, I had toyed with sourcing an original cabinet and restoring it, but soon gave up on that idea after finding it nigh on impossible to source a cabinet here in the UK,” James explains. “Almost all cabinets for sale were located in the USA, so they were out of the question due to the high cost of shipping. Atari only made just over 12,500 cabinets worldwide, so their rarity meant that they commanded top dollar, effectively putting them out of my price range. It was at this point that I decided that if it was going to happen, then I would have to make it myself.”

Engaging Black students in computing at UK schools — interview with Joe Arday @Raspberry_Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi

Picture 2 500x304

Wonderful interview with educator Joe Arday from the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

What barriers or support did you encounter in your teaching career? Did you have role models when you went into teaching?

Not really — I had to seek them out. In my environment, there are very few Black teachers, and I was often the only Black Computer Science teacher. A parent once said to me, “I hope you’re not planning to leave, because my son needs a role model in Computer Science.” And I understood exactly what she meant by that, but I’m not even a role model, I’m just someone who’s contributing to society the best way I can. I just want to pave the way for the next generation, including my children.

DOOM Slayer Glove #3DThursday #3DPrinting

DOOM Slayer Glove improved and scaled by Whatever6 Thingiverse

From Whatever6 on Thingiverse:

Scaled all finger parts at 120% as everyone who printed the original recommended it. The original is for pretty small hands and do not even fit without a glove. I have glove size 9 (L) and at 120% scale they fit quite good with a glove under it.

I improved most of the files, like all the tips, as the original had pretty weird fingertips. Furthermore I fixed all files that were faulty (there were some warning messages in Cura).
The middle finger knuckle was missing so I copied the index knuckle and scaled it a bit more.

Star Trek TNG VISOR Kit #3Dprinting #3Dthursday

Featured preview xIMG 3536

UnimatrixRed shared this project on Thingiverse!

I wanted to make a TNG VISOR prop with an easy-to-print one-piece grill instead of installing a lot of rods. This has a flexible grill that prints flat and fits nicely in grooves to secure it. This makes painting easy but also lets you print in color if you want. I used silk PLA for the metal parts which came out shiny but paint is probably better looking.

There are 2 versions of the grill: grill 1 is modeled after the jagged ‘banana clip’ style in season 1, grill 2 is the full tooth style most commonly seen. To make sure it fits, the rounder side of the grill faces the top. Use color swap function to use black and gold for grill 1 and the grill 2 with the screens.

Coming Soon: Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W!

Pi’s the Limit: Eben Upton on Raspberry Pi’s Most Exciting Year — And the New Pi Zero 2 W Make shared this video on Youtube!

In the cover story of Make: vol. 79, Raspberry Pi’s Eben Upton talks about their year full of surprises, from making a microcontroller to creating their own silicon chip. And he throws in a surprise announcement too. Here’s the full interview.

 

The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is coming soon to the Adafruit shop! Sign up to be notified when these are in stock!

Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is the latest product in Raspberry Pi’s most affordable range of single-board computers. The successor to the breakthrough Raspberry Pi Zero W, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is a form factor–compatible drop-in replacement for the original board.

The board incorporates a quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 CPU, clocked at 1GHz. At its heart is a Raspberry Pi RP3A0 system-in-package (SiP), integrating a Broadcom BCM2710A1 die with 512MB of LPDDR2 SDRAM. The upgraded processor provides Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with 40% more single-threaded performance, and five times more multi-threaded performance, than the original single-core Raspberry Pi Zero. Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W offers 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.2, along with support for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and modular compliance certification.

The board has a microSD card slot, a CSI-2 camera connector, a USB On-The-Go (OTG) port, and an unpopulated footprint for a HAT-compatible 40-pin GPIO header. It is powered via a micro USB socket. Video output is via a mini HDMI port; composite video output can easily be made available via test points, if needed. Sharing the same form factor as the original Raspberry Pi Zero, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W fits inside most existing Raspberry Pi Zero cases.

Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!

The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
