Luke T. Shumaker<p>So I can't find a single dang component to get raw TMDS signals into my MCU and I don't want to get decoded signals because I should (my users should) be able to hack on the decoder, dag gummit.</p><p>Every TMDS chip I've looked at is doing way more than I want. And getting a generic comparator/amplifier with the necessary specs seems to be silly expensive?</p><p>Might try finding a cheap dumb LVDS receiver that has particularly generous tolerances?</p><p><a href="https://social.coop/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSoftware</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/OpenSourceHardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSourceHardware</span></a></p>
James Logan<p>For the Deimos DAQ's enclosure, sheet metal is probably the long-term bet, but the first cut will be either milled aluminum or printed conductive plastic. </p><p>Starting to think about workflows for speeding up the CAD process - probably by exporting the kicad board as a dxf so that it is available for sketch constraints.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OSHW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OSHW</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OpenSourceHardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSourceHardware</span></a></p>
James Logan<p>Kicad -&gt; Onshape 3D export pipeline is surprisingly smooth. Time to put an enclosure on the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DeimosDAQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeimosDAQ</span></a>!</p><p>It'll probably cost more than the PCB, but keeping the consequences of wrench-slips and FOD intrusion to a reasonable level is going to be important in some environments.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OSHW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OSHW</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OpenSourceHardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSourceHardware</span></a></p>
James Logan<p>That's a wrap for the Deimos DAQ rev 5. All told, it came out at 235mm length, down from just under 300mm, which should help a lot with keeping costs down!</p><p>Using 0.1" pitch lever-wire connectors also made room for some user-friendly conveniences like current-limited / short-circuit-protected voltage outputs at 5V, 12V, and 24V so that the DAQ can be used to power experimental instruments that don't have a separate power source.</p><p>Counter to my usual habit of sending the design out for fabrication immediately in parallel with ongoing validation (DRC checks, double-checking datasheets, etc), since prototyping costs have increased somewhat, I'm going to sleep on it and do all the checks first - the days of "proceed at risk" aren't over, but it's no longer my choice of strategy for devices this size.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OSHW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OSHW</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OpenSourceHardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSourceHardware</span></a></p>
James Logan<p>Alllmost done with the layout for rev 5 of the Deimos DAQ! The sensor frontends are set, just have to route the signals and power rails, and it'll be ready to send off for fabrication.</p><p>This rev reworks the channel configuration to add more raw voltages, swaps screw terminals out in favor of lever-wire connectors, and adds active analog filters on every input channel. Despite a host of improvements, this rev is smaller, cheaper, and uses fewer unique parts.</p><p>I'm also going to try something new with signal routing, and send most of the routing around the outside instead of through the middle. I already have to reserve space around the outside for silkscreen labels, which leaves some convenient space for routing; using that space instead of the middle then relaxes constraints on the shape of the sensor frontend circuit blocks.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OSHW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OSHW</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OpenSourceHardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSourceHardware</span></a></p>

Andy Piper<p>I finally decided to break out of Bambu’s increasingly-closed walled garden.</p><p>I’ve had the Bambu X1C for a couple of years already, and it is a really, really great 3D printer. There’s no question whatsoever that Bambu has transformed the 3D printing space for consumers, and has done so while also creating some very high-quality premium hardware. </p><p>I’ve been meaning to write about the various mods I’ve made over time, but at this point it’s a bit far down the line to go into each one in detail 😁 </p><ul><li>riser with LED strip, remote controlled via a Raspberry Pi Pico with a simple MicroPython HTTP-to-RF API that can dim the strip</li><li>IKEA SKADIS mounted on the side with tools</li><li>boxes to hold desiccant beads in the AMS, and a hygrometer</li><li>after-market high flow nozzle (obviously)</li><li>Garolite plate</li><li>third party nozzle wiper</li><li>etc etc</li></ul><p>The printer has been very reliable, and <a href="https://andypiper.co.uk/2024/10/16/fixing-my-bambu-x1c/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">straightforward to maintain</a> as well.</p><p>So why hack it? Well… I own it, I think it can be made better, and… <em>because</em>.</p><p>When the <a href="https://www.crowdsupply.com/accelerated-tech/x1plus-expander" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">X1Plus Expander launched on Crowd Supply</a> I went ahead and backed the project, as I was interested in ways I could potentially add extra sensors and a better camera; as well as finally being able to connect over a LAN socket rather than having to be on wifi (the studio network can be a bit flaky from time to time).</p><p>The X1Plus Expander depends on third-party firmware (<a href="https://github.com/X1Plus/X1Plus/wiki" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">X1Plus</a>), which requires the printer itself to be jailbroken / rooted.</p><p>Long story short, I’ve finally done that.</p><p>I was extremely impressed with how smooth and clear the project contributors have made the process. I went through the official process with Bambu to switch my printer into the unsupported third party program, downgraded to a rootable version of the firmware, rooted it, then ran through the remote install process (via wifi from my Framework) to install the firmware. I’d already printed the case for the X1Plus Expander. Then it was simply a case of following the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNPRE-L4nhQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">exciting and dramatic installation video</a>.</p><p>I now have VNC access to drive the controls on the printer’s touchscreen remotely; SSH access; the ability to network mount storage; etc etc. Lots of options to explore here. I was even able to upgrade the firmware of components like the AMS from within the third party X1Plus firmware. </p><p>You’ll also spot the <a href="https://openspool.io/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">OpenSpool</a> sitting off to the side in the image above. That’s another third-party addon that I’ve barely started to use, but it extends the ability for the printer to recognise RFID-tagged spools from Bambu themselves, to having it recognise “any” spool that I happen to tag and configure. </p><p>All of this is background tinkering and admin… apart from the case for the X1Plus Expander, I’ve not been using the printer itself quite so much lately, due to <a href="https://andypiper.co.uk/tag/travel/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">travels</a>.</p><p>Open source (and open source hardware!)
