Slicers are missing this ONE feature, so i built it Stephen Hawes 2024-06-08 | Check out PCBWay for your next PCB!: pcbway.comI was tired of having to manually upload Gcode to every printer on my farm, so I built a tool that does it automatically, for EVERY printer.Github Repo for FarmUpload: github.com/opulo-inc/farm-uploadWe tried using OctoFarm for a while, but it was a bit clunky for us to use. It does have the feature where you can send files up to a bunch of printers, but that feature wasn't worth sticking with it. I also don't believe that it has support for Bambu printers. There wasn't a tool that checked every box for us, so I decided to whip up a little app that did!If I missed something, please let me know!More about Kanban: youtube.com/watch?v=Levkx8f0qL4In the Kanban example in the video, it's a bit vague as to when the parts cross the lines. Is it when viewing dead on? What if I give the parts a rattle, and suddenly the adjust to be beneath the level? I'm not super happy with this setup, so if y'all can think of some less ambiguous ways of determining the kanban levels, please drop them in the comments!-------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the LumenPnP:opulo.ioCheck out my Patreon:patreon.com/stephenhawes-- FOLLOW --Twitch bit.ly/stephen-twitchInstagram bit.ly/stephen-instagramTwitter bit.ly/stephen-twitter-- GEAR --These are affiliate links so if you buy anything through them I get a small percentage which helps out the channel.

Feeders just got a whole lot smaller Stephen Hawes 2022-08-13 | The LumenPnP feeders are trimming down! After testing REV05 of the feeder design, we have three big improvements we want to make: 1) smaller feeder width, 2) more secure mounting, 3) better positioning feedback. We're on a really good path to hitting all of the goals for the feeder, and once some parts come in, I'll be able to do some comprehensive testing!You can get a LumenPnP here!: opulo.ioA video about how Encoders work:youtube.com/watch?v=v4BbSzJ-hz4-------------------------------------------------------------------Check out my Patreon:patreon.com/stephenhawesJoin the STR Discord Server:discordapp.com/invite/TCwy6DeLumenPnP Github Repo:github.com/opulo-inc/lumenpnp-- FOLLOW --Twitch bit.ly/stephen-twitchInstagram bit.ly/stephen-instagramTwitter bit.ly/stephen-twitter-- GEAR --These are affiliate links so if you buy anything through them I get a small percentage which helps out the channel.

Index Machines: Our first product! Stephen Hawes 2021-06-26 | And so it begins! After running some First Article Inspection measurements, the Index Machines store is officially open and taking preorders for the Staging Plate. If you want to grab one for your Index build, check it out!:shop.indexmachines.ioIn light of opening this store, I want to reiterate: I am committed to keeping this project open source, and making sure you don't have to go through me and Index Machines to get an Index. Selling Index parts (and eventually the full machine) is to help fund R&D, and to get machines to folks that don't want to build one themselves. Also, a reminder that currently Index builds should be treated as a continuation of the R&D process, and not for a bug-free end product. Still some validation work to do before we get there!You can read up about GD&T here:fictiv.com/articles/gdt-101-an-introduction-to-geometric-dimensioning-and-tolerancingGet modules in PCBWay store pcbway.com/project/gifts.html-------------------------------------------------------------------Check out my Patreon!patreon.com/stephenhawesJoin the STR Discord Server!:discordapp.com/invite/TCwy6DeIndex Machines merch!:indexmachines.bigcartel.comIndex Pick and Place Github Repo:github.com/index-machines/indexIndex Validation Repo:github.com/sphawes/validation-- FOLLOW --Twitch bit.ly/32q4pDGInstagram bit.ly/2FrreOJTwitter bit.ly/2FArY3G-- PO BOX --Stephen HawesPO Box 44248Pittsburgh, PA15205-- GEAR --These are affiliate links so if you buy anything through them I get a small percentage which helps out the channel.

Stephen Hawes 2021-05-29 | Now that we've got a nice solid design for the frame of the Index with proper belt and roller tensioning, we can dive into running some validation tests! This first one that we're running is checking to see how repeatable the X and Y positioning of the nozzle is using OpenCV, an awesome computer vision library. Looking at the data yields some pretty strange results...Get modules in PCBWay store pcbway.com/project/gifts.html-------------------------------------------------------------------Check out my Patreon!patreon.com/stephenhawesJoin the STR Discord Server!:discordapp.com/invite/TCwy6DeIndex Machines merch!:indexmachines.bigcartel.comIndex Pick and Place Github Repo:github.com/index-machines/index-- FOLLOW --Twitch bit.ly/32q4pDGInstagram bit.ly/2FrreOJTwitter bit.ly/2FArY3G-- PO BOX --Stephen HawesPO Box 44248Pittsburgh, PA15205-- GEAR --These are affiliate links so if you buy anything through them I get a small percentage which helps out the channel.

The Index Gets Proper Belt Tensioning! Stephen Hawes 2021-05-15 | It's time to start validating the machine, but before we do, there's one final pass of CAD changes to make! Tensioning the belts has been a struggle, having to pull the belts taught and also screw down the clamp, while only being able to tighten to tooth-width increments. Things are about to get a whole lot easier!Get modules in PCBWay store pcbway.com/project/gifts.htmlMcMaster Catalog by the wonderful Nostalgia Purgatory:nostalgiapurgatory.com-------------------------------------------------------------------Check out my Patreon!patreon.com/stephenhawesJoin the STR Discord Server!:discordapp.com/invite/TCwy6DeIndex Machines merch!:indexmachines.bigcartel.comIndex Pick and Place Github Repo:github.com/sphawes/index-- FOLLOW --Twitch bit.ly/32q4pDGInstagram bit.ly/2FrreOJTwitter bit.ly/2FArY3G-- PO BOX --Stephen HawesPO Box 44248Pittsburgh, PA15205-- GEAR --These are affiliate links so if you buy anything through them I get a small percentage which helps out the channel.

Detecting Circuit Boards with Sound! Stephen Hawes 2021-05-01 | The last little nugget of the conveyor system that needs to be prototyped is a method of detecting the edge of the panel! If we know about where the panel is, then OpenPnP's fiducial calibration can take calibration from there. In this one I test out a couple different ways to do this!Get modules in PCBWay store pcbway.com/project/gifts.html-------------------------------------------------------------------Check out my Patreon!patreon.com/stephenhawesJoin the STR Discord Server!:discordapp.com/invite/TCwy6DeCheck out Index Machines merch!:indexmachines.bigcartel.comIndex Pick and Place Github Repo:github.com/sphawes/index-- FOLLOW --Twitch bit.ly/32q4pDGInstagram bit.ly/2FrreOJTwitter bit.ly/2FArY3G-- PO BOX --Stephen HawesPO Box 44248Pittsburgh, PA15205-- GEAR --These are affiliate links so if you buy anything through them I get a small percentage which helps out the channel.

PnP Calibration with Computer Vision! Stephen Hawes 2021-04-17 | So far, all of the component placement with the Index PnP has been dead reckoning; we THINK we know where things are, and so we place them blind. But now, we're adding in active, real-time calibration based on a computer vision pipeline built into OpenPnP! And our accuracy is about to go through the roof!-------------------------------------------------------------------Check out my Patreon!patreon.com/stephenhawesJoin the STR Discord Server!:discordapp.com/invite/TCwy6DeCheck out Index Machines merch!:indexmachines.bigcartel.comIndex Pick and Place Github Repo:github.com/sphawes/index-- FOLLOW --Twitch bit.ly/32q4pDGInstagram bit.ly/2FrreOJTwitter bit.ly/2FArY3G-- PO BOX --Stephen HawesPO Box 44248Pittsburgh, PA15205-- GEAR --These are affiliate links so if you buy anything through them I get a small percentage which helps out the channel.
