When you purchase the globe item, the bottom part glued. It's easy to remove from the globe with an exacto blade. Then, when I build the lamp, I glued with hot glue the bottom part.So if I have some issues, i can easily remove the bottom part

Hello,yes I've printed these parts by myself. I'm sorry but I will not do that, but you can easily find someone who can print these parts around you on Prusa Printer community website : https://www.prusaprinters.org/have a good day

Hello,The Stepper Driver Board is hidden in the copper tube (32mm of diameter) :)I used 0.5 mm diameter cable to connect the neopixels

Hello, thank you :)As I use Longitude and Latitude coordinates, there is not impact on the code depending the size of the globe. BUT, the mechanical assembly should be adjusted, you must center the rotation of the laser in the center of the globe

Hey, I think the laser i purchased is not really a 100 mW as in the spec, but i dont have any tool to measured the power beam. I think you have to test to know if the laser beam is powerful enough to be visible trough the globe.

Hello, thank you :)I dont really know Rocinante, is it a space ship from Comics? If so, the lamp can't track a non real thing ;)

Hey, I think the laser i purchased is not really a 100 mW as in the spec, but i dont have any tool to measured the power beam. Before I set the laser, i performed a test : I let the laser beam on the same spot on the globe over 30 min and no damage ont the plastic.I think you have to test to know if the laser beam is powerful enough to be visible trough the globe.

Thank you

I should do a time lapse video of the laser following the ISS, for sure.If you are looking in the 3rd video (the vertical one), the laser move a tiny bit :) But yeah, a time lapse should be better to look at.

Thank you, I used this one :https://visionminer.com/products/micro-switch

Hello, when the ISS longitude is +180°, the stepper motor do a reverse 360° move to the start position (-180°). In that way, the cords is not tangled up ;)

What you see in the 1st video is the calibration (each time you connect the lamp to the Wifi). Then you have a smooth tracking (it moves every 30 seconds to the new positions of the ISS)I purchased a 18cm diameterI cant wait to see your work :)

You can do it ;)

Thank you,according to amazon this is a 100mw laser.Here the link to this laser:https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0772RKT9T/ref=pe_3044141_185740131_TE_item

Hello,I can't because it's already involved in the "Fisrt Time Author" contest, and i've created this instructable before the start of "Make It Glow" contest :)

Hello,i described the components in the instructables at the beginning:Microcontroller : Wemos D1 Mini (wifi antenna integrated)Servo EMAX ES3352 MGStepper Motor 28byj-48 (with the ULN2003 driver board)10 NeoPixels LEDLaser of 405 nm wavelengthLimit Switch5V 3A Power SupplyRegards

Thank you!

Thank you!

thank you :)

Hello, sorry for not mentioning the Stepper Library i've used for this project. I've worked with an arduino library for 28BYJ48 Stepper motor and ULN2003 driver, and there is the link :https://github.com/rydepier/Arduino-and-ULN2003-Stepper-Motor-DriverThose cheap steppers will not drive properly with the standard Arduino stepper motor library.Let me know if it works better, and i will change my instructable if so.Thanks

Thank you so much ! Hope you enjoy

Thank you :)

Well this Arduino code is written to track the ISS, but if you can get the latitude and longitude of something else, you can track it (car, aircraft, boat, submarine, ...) The laser beam can reach nearly every points of the globe

Try to make it first, i will be very glad to help you achieving this lamp!Thank you by the way :)

Thank you :)

I love this PLA good looking, nice work
