ever build an Extruder?

I don't think so. I have used Win 7,8,8.1 and 10 as well as MacOS and Linux. Double check your installation location. I have noticed that the Arduino IDE looks for the libs in various places. Most likely either C:\Arduino and/or C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Arduino (or something like that. I have had that problem but was able to fix it by checking the IDE preferences for the location that it is looking for libraries in

Did you install the DHT library from adafruit?

The first song was “battle Born” by Five Finger Death punch and the second song was “The Kids Aren’t Allright” by The Offspring

Awesome job!! I followed this and my supports are much easier to remove. Thank you for your research and sharing your findings.

awesome! Can’t wait to see it

recheck step 3. you need to download and install the DHT library from Adafruithttps://github.com/adafruit/DHT-sensor-library

Thanks

Thomas, You may have the incorrect driver. Most of the control boards use clone Arduinos that need a different driver (CH40). You can use T2Laser to install the correct driver, install the correct firmware and use it to engrave.

is that just a permenant marker that you used? I have been using black spray paint to do the same thing with my 2w

word of caution. The laser used in this bile is most likely a 500mw. That will burn wood, plastic and skin. A typical laser pointer is usually 5mw or less and they will blind a pilot 10,000 ft in the air. The reflection from this laser will blind you!Love your design. Great ible. If possible, please throw a caution at the beginning on these lasers (I have a 2000mw and a 2500mw laser module similar to yours)

Thank you DrychronRed for the corrections. I have edited the ible to reflect the .py file.As for the black between videos, I am still at a loss on how to do that with OMXplayer. You could remove all of the icons from the desktop and set the background as black, but that is just a bandaid.Honestly, to do something like seamless video or black screen afterwards, I think you will need to use something other than OMXplayer. You may have better luck with VLC. I have been out of the game on my Pis for a while, so I don't know of all of the updates. Plus this project got scrapped about two months after the ible posted, so I did not pursue it much after that.

Great job. Did you use k23 or k26 firebrick?

did you use 1/2" rebar?

so simple and great! Voted! Love the intro pic

I am sure you can with --loopJust set up 17 as a omxplayer kill button. Google python omxplayer loop and you should get your answer. Sorry I can't be much more help ron guy now. My Pi was turned into an Echo for another project

Sorry about the short replies earlier, I was on my phone. I am nowhere near a Pi right now, but you may want to try this:omxc = Popen(['omxplayer', '-b -o local', movie2])I am not sure it will work. I had the same issue when building this project, but was always using the hdmi audio so the default worked for me. Give it a try and let me know.

What are you using for the video output? HDMI or RCA?please look at this:https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configur...

Great Instructable! Voted!

hahaha.Awesome project though

awesome job. What a great Hack. Voted!

Looks great. Love the finished work. Thanks for sharing

Can you give some more detail on the stomp switch? Is it latching or momentary? Your ible talke about the outside terminals and inside terminals. According to the pictures, are you wiring them up to the N/O or N/C? I am sure it doesn't matter, but I am curious.I know electronics decently, I am just not a music guy. I am hoping to build this for my father who loves to jam out on the guitar.

thanks for the info

Thanks. Great instructable. I just don't want anyone to get into legal trouble because of ignorance. I am jealous

Cool idea. One thing to consider is the local laws. I live in Minnesota USA and auto setting devices are illegal based on my research during a project similar to this. Can you please add a note to check local laws for legality in your instructable so nobody gets in trouble with the DNR or similar authority?

The main reason I post this is because I did converse with two DNR officers on Lake of the Woods. Something like this is frowned upon there.

Have a look at this site. It looks like what I did but set up a lot cleaner. I wish I would have found this before.http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/477...That probably won't take care of the power save mode but it will get you your looping video and maybe a more seamless transition between videos.

Thanks josephchrzempiec! Sorry about the late reply. I hope you are enjoying the raspberry pi world as much as I am. Now, on to your questions.Yes, you can get this to run at startup. I haven't set it up on mine that way, but google how to set up cron jobs.You can put the python file anywhere you can find it. You will just need to know the path to run it from the terminal or cronI do not see why you couldn't set up a remote to function that way. You just need to set up the hardware and assign to the correct GPIOs (some script editing will be required) All of that sounds like IF/THEN statements to me.Have a look at this site as well. It looks similar to mine but a lot cleaner.http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/477...

Great to hear it is working. As for the lag, I have not figured that out. I am sure something like VLC would have to be used instead of omxplayer. It is a really simple video player.

Let me look into it when I get back to my RPis. The code looks fine to me. When you say "something happens", can you explain a bit more?

https://oscarliang.com/raspberry-pi-and-arduino-connected-serial-gpio/Shramik4954Looks like you need to import serialCheck this site

That should not be a problem. Assuming you have the code to read the arduino in the python code (google "rpi arduino serial communication python" if you haven't), all you should have to do is change the IF statements in my code. if received_char == "a": etc.....Now, it depends on what you want to do. If you plan to just kill the playing video and play another, you just need to make sure what happens in that IF statement matches.Give it a shot and report back. Honestly, I have never played with arduino and Rpi serially. I am more of a wireless communication guy between those two boards. If you get it working, want to post the code here? I would love to see it. If you are still having troubles, post the code and I will try to help out.

Thanks. Time for some fun

Thanks GalenW1. The code posted is a little scrambled. Do you know how to get a status reading of say, a door contact, on homebridge with a ESP8266 or Arduino?I want to ask Siri what the status of my garage door is and have her give me the answer.

can you attach your .ino file? The embedded code is hard to read.

sorry. Great instructable!!!!!!!!!!

benbox doesn't support pwm. As long as your controller board can support it (grbl 0.9) with a selector under the nano, you can use T2 Laser developed by Zax.

looks like you need is install debugSudo npm install debug
