Started Work with a new company last month, So Ive been busy. But I have been working on building a CNC Mill in my free time. For the motor controller Im using an arduino UNO flashed with GRBL and a GrblShield driver. Grbl is an open source G-Code interpreter for arduino, it recieves raw G-code from the host using a very bare processing sketch. Im still waiting for my GrblShield to ship so in the meantime I decided to code up a more robust GUI to handle the host side.Click Here for more information and source code

Built this platform using a H.O.G (Hemispherical Omnidirectional Gimballed) drive system. A very cool concept that is aparently over a hundred years old.
This is a close up of the drive system.
And here is its firt test run. obviously still has some kinks that need to be worked out.

Got a surplus lot of components from an electronics company last week, so I've been sorting through and testing things. A lot of great stuff in there including some rabbit core microprocessors with onboard wifi, some magstripe readers, and a couple dozen lcd char displays, so I threw together this arduino sketch/circuit to test the used ones
Later this week im going to try to get some pictures of the lot up, as well as a tutorial or two for some of the new toys.

I've seen some threads online about using an optical mouse as a low res camera, and wanted to find a cool project for this, So this week im going to start up a new project, and try to use this as the basis for a document scanner. So check back for updates.

I got some more content up today. Pretty much this site will serve as a kind of portfolio for different work that I've done. Think of it as an interactive resume. I hope to get more content up throughout the week, including schematics and source code for all of my projects for anyone who is interested.
