Arduino and the Raspberry Pi

So I got a raspberry pi. It took almost 10 weeks to arrive, but it was definitely worth the wait. For those who don’t know, the Raspberry Pi is a cheap $35 computer that includes processor, memory, and a sd card slot for the hard drive. It also has a few hardware pins that can be used to drive external devices. Now to interface with a micro-controller… The most obvious external “thing” I wanted to hook up was the arduino. You plug the arduino into your usb port, upload some code, and suddenly you’re controlling a motor. Finally, you’ll want to interface the arduino with a computer, because it’s no fun having a microcontroller that can’t interface with the internet.

Commmand-line arduino? The raspberry pi only has 256mb of memory so you’ll probably want to upload your sketches via command-line instead of using their fancy UI. We’re going to use the serial header exposed by the GPIO pins to communicate with our arduino, so we’ll have to remove it’s use on the raspberry pi.

3D Printers & 3D Printing

After a while I thought to myself, there are quite a few designs out there and they all more or less are just a variant of each other. So why spend weeks, months or a year trying to make/develop one more? Challange I guess is a very valid point, but I decided for now to have a closer look at the Prusa i3 instead. I like the design that Prusa has come up with in regards to the single plate version. It looks sleek and is quite easy to build. After downloading the openscad files and checking out the ALU frame design I realised that this has got a lot of potential (for modifications and improvements, if you feel like it.) The most noticable change I have done is that I have got rid of the belts altogether.

My i3 Build

What is a Reprap Prusa i3? Its a 3d printer. It prints physical objects in plastic. For more information check out reprap.org The order of assembly might be a bit off (as is evident in some of the photos, I wasn't trying to document all the assembly steps, just trying to build it, I will do a tear down and rebuild and document a bit better when complete) so probably best to read through first so you don't miss stuff off like I did :). Assemble the Y frame using 4 short M8 threaded rods, 2 M10 (M10 preferred over M8) or M8 long threaded rods and 4 y-corners.

The M10 rods should have 2 M10 nuts and 2 M10 washers fitted between the y-corners for mounting to the z axis plate. Fit the y-idler on one of the upper short M8 threaded rods. Fit the y-motor mount on the other end. Fit two LM8UU linear bearings on one smooth rod... ...and one on the other... Fit the z axis motor mounts to the plate.

Getting started with Cura : 3D Genius – The Home of 3D Printing

It’s optimised for the Ultimaker 3D printer, but it works fine with any printer based on the RepRap model – and that includes just about all the ones that squirt molten plastic. Cura is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Cura is much faster at slicing than most other programs, and the latest version provides both a handy set of tools to visualize your printable object and a dual-user mode – Quickprint, which offers preset options suitable for most everyday print jobs, and Full setting, which gives you the chance to tinker. We’ll look at the full settings in another tutorial. 1. The first time you open Cura, you’ll see the First time run wizard. Even if you’re the sort of person who wants to get straight on with playing, it’s worth taking the time to go through the few short setup steps, to guarantee that Cura will give you the best slicing results. 2. 3. 4.
