Where the hell has Charles been?!

chorl1 Comment

Between now and last time, I’ve been busy packing up and moving across campus to the graduate student apartments dormitories tenements burrows. So nothing much has happened yet. However, I did get a chance to fix Überclocker, and took apart Pop Quiz for a thorough check of what needs to be done before Dragon*Con 2011 and its associated Robot Battles.

I’ll also be trucking it all down (literally) not only for Dragon*Con, but also the Atlanta mini-Maker Faire the weekend afterwards. Segfault, land-bear-shark, RazEr, and the robots will be in attendance, with more depending on what else I finish – Ballcopter is one candidate.

My new book…err…Instructable…something

Hey Charles, where the hell is Ballcopter? And what about your quadrotor? It’s August… are the robots being rolled out again for Dragon Con?!

I spent the past few days finishing my new book. And by book, I mean Instructable. It puts down in hypertext all the random resources, links, and techniques that I have been meaning to write down about building small electric scooter. Check it out here at Instructables.

edit: deeerrrrrrp

This is what happens when the last thing you add is a link to a MeanWell HLG series power supply. Which are nice, by the way. The Instructable link is fixed.
