Acrylic Bit Stand @Othermachine #MillingMonday #CNC

This week I thought I’d make a simple stand for holding my tool bits. I’ve been keeping them in their little containers in a box but I find it cumbersome. This simple design keeps my main bits at arms reach and it’s much easier to put them away and take them out now. For the material I used 2.2mm thick acrylic and used a 1/32″ flat end mill to cut the pieces out.  

Pi Lure Module @Othermachine #MillingMonday #CNC

In this project we’re milling a cover out of acrylic for a new 3D printed project. This looks like a Lure Module from the game Pokémon Go, but we’re using it to find Pokémon. Using a Raspberry Pi Zero, and some python code, it connects to the unofficial Niantic API and requests when Pokémon spawn near by a given location.  

Cherry MX PCB @othermachine #adafruit #othermill

I’m working on a new project that uses Cherry MX Switches. What will eventually be a custom (BLE) gamepad, I designed a very simple PCB in Eagle CAD. The brains of this project will be an Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE.  

Fidget Spinner on Othermill CNC

On this Milling Monday, we’re milling an Adafruit logo fidget spinner out of pine wood. Designed and processed using Autodesk Fusion 360 & Otherplan. Machined on the Othermill Pro by Othermachine.

Capacitive Touch Pads @Othermachine #MillingMonday #CNC

On this Milling Monday, we’re milling capacitive touch pads out of 6061 aluminum. These little parts will be used to make a BLE MIDI controller. Sneak peek of the final build at the end.  

How to CNC – Joy Bonnet Case for Raspberry Pi Zero

The Adafruit Joy Bonnet is a tiny add-on for the Raspberry Pi Z that features a 2-axis joystick and 8 buttons. It’s great for making retropie projects. In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to use the Othermill Pro to mill a case out of wood.  

Making PCBs with CNC Milling

In this video we’ll take a look at using the Othermill desktop CNC machine to make some PCBs for an upcoming project.  

John Park’s Remote Effect Trigger Box Wireless NeoPixel Control @adafruit @johnedgarpark #adafruit

The Remote Effect Trigger Box is a packet radio 900MHz Feather-powered, general purpose effects controller that can be used to remotely trigger motors, lights, illusions, sound, pyro, smoke, trap doors, and mind-controlled shark assassins. And blenders. Here’s a demonstration of the controller triggering effects from a block away, line of sight.  

John Park’s Remote Effect Trigger Box Illusion Demo @adafruit @johnedgarpark #adafruit

The Remote Effect Trigger Box is a packet radio 900MHz Feather-powered, general purpose effects controller that can be used to remotely trigger motors, lights, illusions, sound, pyro, smoke, trap doors, and mind-controlled shark assassins. And blenders. This demo shows the remote being used to trigger both an AC powered spot light, and a stepper-motor based card levitation.
