Most people think a DIY CNC is wood-only. My LowRider V4 pocketed solid aluminum, isolated traces on a PCB, and cuts full 4x8 sheets. Who should build one, who shouldn't, and what it really cost me. Thanks to Ryan @V1Engineering youtu.be/bTqUV8WUdzA

I usually find R&D fun but this latest device from @waveshare00 turned my R&D into a 100% game. It's addictive so you've been warned. youtu.be/0esTvmPxCdk

TrailCurrent started with a phone full of apps that never talked to each other. The goal was always one rig. Now it's real. Walk through a travel trailer in your browser where the wall screen, dial, phone, TV and voice assistant trailcurrent.com/try-trailcu…

I've spent a lot of time recently putting together embedded controllers and human machine interfaces. I thought it would be helpful to others to compare them all. So pro's and con's find the one that works for your project youtu.be/kf5-_xXYL1A?si=uiRp…

More #esp32s3 rotary encoder touchscreens, this time from @Elecrow1 and featuring a ring of addressable RGB LEDs. These make for a super engaging tactile HMI. Check out the full video youtu.be/YeALDDWP1Us

A dial that operates your computer is such a fun way to interact with your desktop. Thanks to #makerfabs for sending the 2.1" #esp32s3 rotary encoder with touch screen. I love this device. youtube.com/shorts/XwPXe5pUg…

Rotary encoders provide a tactile way to integrate #hmi or #humanmachineinterfaces thanks to #makerfabs for sending us the screen. Full video here youtu.be/3zQSPBUo-Ls This is a great #esp32 #esp32s3 device

It's been a while since I've been able to add a new #trailcurrent module excited to announce #trailcurrentcapstan a truly tactile experience. trailcurrent.com/blog/meet-c…

I'm a little late discovering this, but #eezstudio released a new version with a simulator. Then #lvgl released new widgets in version 9. The combination is amazing. Then throw an AI agent at it. youtu.be/TTyShNJZgZ4?si=PM0W…

I tested using AI to build a #torsiontable for my CNC. The results were impressive. Video launching at 8AM CT. You won't want to miss it. Links to the torsion box, skill, and mcp all in description. youtu.be/10SrEGDkLX0

I recently finished the core build of my #v1engineering #lowridercnc V4. Store bought lumber is NEVER straight though, so first job on it. A torsion box to improve flatness. Can't wait to get to surfacing on it.

Sometimes when you build an advanced system, you also need to build tools that work with it. Thanks to @waveshare00 for sending the #pocketterm35 #cyberdeck we have a fully functioning tool and you can use it to build your own #raspberrypi OS. youtu.be/Mw0jyAdOaDw

If you aren't using #artificialintelligence in your development process, you are missing out. We released the details of how we build a #cnc touch screen pendant using #ai be sure to check it out. youtu.be/MVjNeWx1MdQ

It still amazes us what is possible with @waveshare00 electronics hardware. Especially this sub $20 #esp32p4 from @EspressifSystem We have it running YOLO locally and doing object detection on device. youtu.be/aWNfnpdVCes?si=eYsb…

We're working on our second #cnc and using our custom cnc controller. View the full video on YouTube, code is free and opensource. youtu.be/h63wLjyVTxc?si=guZZ…

We just spend some time with the #Arduino #UnoQ and found some interesting ways to make things work. We also discovered some challenges with this board too. So if you are considering it for your project be sure to check out youtu.be/uChWnpwXhJQ

We recognize not everyone travels the common path. Some want navigation to get them to the trail head then use a GPX to navigate the trail. #trailcurrentoverlook has you covered

We're playing catch up to the big names, but we're getting closer. Our maps now perform searches, provide routes, and driving directions. #trailcurrentheadwaters learn more at trailcurrent.com

It's never been easier to provision your #trailcurrent system #trailcurrentheadwaters now enters WiFi AP mode on first boot or after factory reset. Simply connect your phone, fill out the details, and you're ready to go. Learn more at trailcurrent.com
