Stargate Mk2 with DHD

Posted on May 4, 2021May 4, 2021 by Jim Vo

I started building a Working Stargate Mk2 with Working DHD and SFX, designed by Glitch. I’m slowly working my way through the Arduino and stepper motor configuration. The documentation for this project is not spectacular, but the framework is there and it was a fun puzzle to figure out. It’s definitely not perfect, but still workable.

Printer: Creality Ender 3
Filament: HATCHBOX PLA (Silver), Overture PETC (Black), Duramic PETG (White)
Adhesive: Bob Smith Thick CA Glue
Electronics: Arduino Uno, Arduino Nano, DFPlayer MP3 Player, Nema-17 Stepper Motor, Miscellaneous Electronic Components, 24AWG Stranded Copper Silicone Wire

I recently built the OpenAstroTracker from the OpenAstroTech Project. I will update more in this post soon.

PHLEX

Posted on January 18, 2018 by Jim Vo

This week I’ve been tinkering with my fairly new Google Home device. I also added a Chromecast and have been watching Netflix and YouTube through the device. I’ve also enabled the CEC functions so I can turn the TV on/off.

However, I’m a man who tinkers to exhaustion and I needed something else to to augment my Google Home experience just that much further.

My very own PHLEX implementation is alive and functional using the digitalhigh/phlex image on the Docker Hub!

Oddly satisfying.
