/robotbuildersI’ve done a bit of re organizing and rewiring in preparation of adding a maestro board to my Kyber control system. I ordered a set of Kevin Holme’s spring loaded servo hinges for the pie panels in the dome of R2. Next week I’ll be cutting those out and mounting the hinges. I’ll a

/robotbuildersMy build started about four years ago. I had already 3D printed a replica of BB-8 so at some point during the COVID lockdown I thought I might as well start 3D printing R2. If you look around on line you’ll find an amazing resource (now on version 4!) of Mr. Baddely’s 3D pri
/robotbuildersThere is an amazing community of people building replicas of StarWars droids all around the world. Most of that action happens on www.astromech.net and in person at some Droid Builder meet ups. It would be nice to not only expand that world to Digg, but to invite other kinds of r

/photographyTo start with, I think it would be lovely to have photos here in higher resolution than we are currently seeing. Lots of folks are uploading some nice photo sets, but when you zoom in a bit they are really soft. Kind of a bummer. Secondly, some photo editing controls in the post

/photographyFrom a recent trip to Alaska. Also, I just learned that in order to get the full resolution photo to upload here from an iPhone, you have to open it in your camera roll first to make sure the full resolution file is on your phone, then upload. Seems obvious now that I say it bu
/photographyThis calendar is kept up to date by a photographer in Los Angeles out of the goodness of her heart. Whenever I’m in town I check to see if there are any photo walks, events, galleries or meetups I can make it to. I highly recommend any of the photo walks organized by Beers and C

/technologyA lot of my work on R2 this summer has been transparent from the outside. I did a major rewiring project that shed a couple pounds of weight in excess wire. Relocated some components to the inside shoulders on small shelves, and solidified some plans for implementing more servos.

/artThis is an art form I know nothing about but find really fascinating. The folks who go out and put some color in the world are doing us a service, in my opinion. If I had a building in a large city, I like to think I would hang a giant blank frame on the side and hope that someon
