Thomas Godden @thomas.science · 24/11/2024Gearbox not sounding right? Stuff slightly out of tolerance? Some steel chips left over in there? Just add half a tube of lithium grease, you will certainly not regret adding half a tube of lithium grease. 100

Thomas Godden @thomas.science · 21/11/2024One of my biggest annoyances with robotics coming into the VC limelight is that cool little demos now must be produced and marketed as large breakthroughs, or else they aren't publicly shared. 1110
Reposted by Thomas GoddenStargirl @thea.codes · 20/11/2024A rare instance of Hackaday doing some actual journalism. I was sad to see Prusa has really given up on Open Source Hardware after this announcement. I may have more thoughts to share soon, but honestly it just sucks. 6589
Thomas Godden @thomas.science · 18/11/2024Nothing quite like the feeling of something working first try 170
Thomas Godden @thomas.science · 17/11/2024Started reading a book on operating systems and it's one of these things that on first-pass makes some sense, but you dive a little deeper and you quickly become convinced there's no way these things actually work. 110
Thomas Godden @thomas.science · 17/11/2024Waiting for the next set at a jazz bar and am going down a magnetometer rabbit hole; Apparently earth's field strength varies on the surface by almost 3x and means the accuracy of digital compasses is dependent on location, due to their noise floor. 130

Thomas Godden @thomas.science · 15/11/2024I used to run DOOM on some of our stuff as a joke but now it's becoming part of my bring-up process to check video / input etc. 010
Thomas Godden @thomas.science · 14/11/2024I love coming into work and discovering what horrors my machines have cooked up for me just sitting idle overnight. 020

Thomas Godden @thomas.science · 14/11/2024The Stuff Made Here form 4 teardown is pretty good. Interesting to see it's running a CM4 (which I think actually runs the display out for the LCD?), there's more of those out in the wild than you would think I guess. 110
Thomas Godden @thomas.science · 13/11/2024Operating systems are cool and fun until they stop working and suddenly they become the worst thing ever. What do you mean the ethernet interface causes USB writes to fail 010
Thomas Godden @thomas.science · 13/11/2024Co-workers have nailed me as a Person who Should Have a Cat so badly that some assumed I already had one. 020
Thomas Godden @thomas.science · 13/11/2024This evening we shall be starting to write documentation for repositories that have 0 actual code in them. I usually procrastinate the other way around so this is a nice change. 000
Thomas Godden @thomas.science · 13/11/2024Hearing "yooo thomas come look at this" from the engineering room can either mean someone has found a really weird bug or they've discovered a way to sit on their assembly and ride it around. 010
