Nerdiy.de is (finally) online

Posted on 27. April 2020 by Fab

Now I’m starting an article for the second time in which I write that Nerdiy.de will open soon. The last article (https://www.nerdiy.de/was-soll-das-hier-was-mache-ich-hier-und-wo-soll-das-alles-mal-hinfuehren/) is more than two years old. I also […]

What drives me?

Posted on 5. February 2018 by Fab

Goals I believe in life it is important to have goals. And I also believe that everyone, albeit unconsciously, has some. For some, there are goals, such as certain career […]

What’s this about? What am I doing here? And where should all this lead?

Posted on 5. February 2018 by Fab

So this page is online for almost nine months and I did not write at least one word to fill it yet. I’ll change that now. Nerdism First of all […]

Recap of the first assembly of the Hub for #WinDIY_2 a 3D printed wind turbine

"Anemosens" is my entry for the #MoveIt3DPShow #moveit3dpcontest contest from @elegoo and @snapmakerinc

Anemosens is a 3d printable anemometer. I use it as a windsensor for #WinDIY_2 a 3D printable wind turbine. Of course, it can also be used for other purposes (e.g. weather station).

In the meantime I also continued to work on the #Anemometer for #WinDIY_2. The @elegoo Mars 2Pro was really a game changer in that regard. Because with it you can now print very fine and at the same time overhanging structures. The air blades shown have, for example, a wall thickness of 0.5mm and are accordingly light. At the same time, the hardened resin is very stable and flexible. I am curious how it will behave under UV and weather influences. 🙂 The wind direction sensor will later be installed above the air blades. More information will follow soon. 🙂⁣

I finally found the bug! Now the pxlBlck plug-in for ESPEasy also runs reliably on the ESP32. I also updated the "RandomPixel" screen saver. The colors are now selected based on the HSV color space and are therefore a little more varied overall. This screen saver slowly fills the entire LED matrix with random colors.⁣
BTW: This is the prototype of the #pxlBlck_16x16 in which the #pxlBlck_multiPCB is used for the first time. More information will be available soon. 😎⁣

Last night I printed the coil inserts for the generator from #WinDIY_2. The wire of the windings is wound onto this. Then they are inserted into the "pockets" in the outer radius of the stator and screwed to it. To do this, I changed the design of the stator a bit. (More on this later) In this way, the prepared coil inserts can be screwed to the stator relatively easily and the very tight tolerances can also be adhered to. 🙂⁣

First insight into the assembly of the stator for #Windiy_2

Possibly you remember the last construction of the pitch actuator for the first version of #WinDIY. At that time I built four versions because after each version I thought that I had now found the perfect design (which of course I didn't have). That's why I want to test the new design more this time before using it in the final design. For this purpose I built a small test setup with which I can test the torque of the pitch actuator. I printed a wheel with a radius of 10cm and attached a rope to it. In order to determine the maximum torque I have attached various weights and determined at which weight the gearbox is blocked. The torque can then be calculated using the weight force of the attached weight. Result: The pitch actuator is strong enough for my application. 😎 But of course every gear also has a final boss. 😌⁣

Load test of the 3D printed worm gear for #WinDIY_2

YouTube Video UCbzjp7dC2TfZF8jXkPjEgHA_f_fcEQSiRD8

After experimenting a bit with the different material combinations, it turns out that the combination of FDM printed worm wheel and SLA printed worm works best for the worm gear. The very smooth surfaces of the two SLA printed wheels also work, but the frictional resistance seems to be higher. At least in this case the no-load current of the motor is significantly higher (approx. 180mA) than with the FDM / SLA configuration (approx. 100mA).
The worm gear reduces its number of revolutions in a ratio of 40: 1. The torque increases accordingly, which should be sufficient for my purpose. I will of course do some more testing here. 😎 At this point, many thanks again to the people from @Elegoo without their Mars 2Pro SLA printer, this construction would not have been possible. 🙂

I hope this is still compliant with the rules when I present the results of the #solderingSunday on the #microscopeMonday? 😌 You can see the assembly and soldering of the WS2812 LEDs on the front of the boards of my still secret project. :)⁣
