Tom Lauerman @tomlauerman.bsky.social · 25/05/2026I've been away for several months due to an intense period at the workplace and in family life. Hoping to be able to share more experiments with arts and technology, even if they are extremely modest like this Arduino driven servo working as a linear actuator. 050
Tom Lauerman @tomlauerman.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Dusting off my Arduino bin for some students who are interested in "going there" with electronics & art. For a brief period I sort of knew what I was doing with the Arduino ecosystem, & had a lot of fun tinkering. It's exciting when students pursue things further than I might have the bandwidth for. 010

Tom Lauerman @tomlauerman.bsky.social · 21/02/2026For one of my clay printers, moving from 24v to 36v and upgrading the control board from the Duet2 to the Duet 3, which will then connect to the RaspberryPi. Will allow more power to reach the clay pushing motor and will make it easier to connect, add features like camera, remote monitoring, etc. 071

Tom Lauerman @tomlauerman.bsky.social · 15/02/2026Working with a Raspberry Pi 5 single board computer, which will become part of my clay printer's brain. I'm enamored with it's various tiny accessories, like this active cooling unit, which is about the size of a matchbox (banana for scale) 010
