11-007 Lego Pan + Tilt timelapsing robot for Canon Rebel XT

UPDATE:
This project was featured on hackedgadgets.com !

 

My first commissioned project:

And here is the resulting first test (using iTimelapse on the iPhone):

40minutes 500 frames @ 16fps around 30secs

It’s still on testing phase, more info and pictures to follow.


11-006 Lego iPhone Tripod shoe

In order to shoot the videos for my other projects, i had to rig up a bracket for my phone to be kept atop my tripod. I did involve drilling a 5mm hole through an old plastic shoe (mind you, the Manfrotto shoe is high density aluminum). I liked the extreme simplicity and ease of use.

Lego / Arduino PWM dual DC motor driver using L293D

For my 3 axis CNC router i’m developing the arduino motor driver interface.

More updates to come.

First test… a work in progress

Come back soon for updates!


08-004 Oversized wheels rover

Playing with the 8275 Bulldozer’s tracks i stumbled upon a way to make them huge wheels, and went with the idea:


08-001 Lego testbuggy

This is the project that ended my latest “dark age”. I bought the 8275 bulldozer while studying abroad in Denmark in 2008, the raw winter and the lack of activities led to the completion of 14 full projects. I built this to get used to the “new” studless system and I ended up loving the studless way! after this project i built the aforementioned bulldozer.
