Review: PCB Service of PCBWay.com

Posted on 22. August 2020 by Fab

It’s been a while since PCBWay asked me to test their PCB manufacturing service. This was a perfect opportunity to have the circuit board for the “mobileSupply” project manufactured . […]

"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).

Anemosens - A 3D printed wind sensor / anemometer

YouTube Video UCbzjp7dC2TfZF8jXkPjEgHA_w3RU5c9Zf3Q

I hope you can see how the alignment of the wind direction sensor is passed on to the sensor of #Anemosens (a 3D printed #Anemometer). 🙂⁣
The wind vane is connected to a bracket using an M3x50 screw. A magnet with a diametrical magnetization sits in this holder. This means that the north and south poles are not on the top and bottom of the magnet, as is the case with most magnets, but on the opposite side of the shell of the magnet/cylinder. The sensor can then measure the orientation of the north and south poles. 😎 I printed all parts with my SLA printer so that only a few additional mechanical components are required. 😌⁣

In the meantime I have also updated the scrolling text function in the #pxlBlck plugin. 😎 Thanks to the 24 segments of the #pxlDigit, numbers and characters can also be shown as scrolling text on the display. The font- and background color, brightness, speed and of course the text can be set individually. The scrolling text can then also be triggered by #MQTT, for example. 🙂

If you should have asked yourself by chance why there is nothing new about the slip ring here, I am happy to introduce you to the fail of the week. 🙂 ⁣
Unfortunately I used a 6mm thick brass tube for the axis of the slip ring. Not really a problem. ⁣
But unfortunately, I also used a ball bearing with an inner diameter of 6mm. Unfortunately, the brass tube does not fit into the ball bearing now. 😩 That's why I've been sitting here for a few days and dragging the brass tube from time to time until it is hopefully thin enough to fit into the ball bearing. 🤓⁣
I think that was the friendly reminder that you shouldn't skip the sluggish lessons at school about shaft fits. 😬⁣

Fail at designing a 3D printed slip ring for WinDIY_2

Unfortunately, the 276mm wide housing for four #pxlDigit_24 cannot be easily printed on a normal 3D printer. That's why I designed an alternative housing. The individual digits can be pre-assembled and then screwed onto a bracket. In this way, even more than four digits can be daisy chained one after the other, for example to display five-digit numbers or longer words directly. You can see the start animation on the video. After the start, the time is retrieved from an #NTP server via the WiFi connection of the #ESP32

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

YouTube Video UCbzjp7dC2TfZF8jXkPjEgHA_-U4dXNKO7CY

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. 😌⁣
