(DE) Besuch beim CCC München

Gestern mal Gelegenheit gehabt die Räume des CCC in München zu besuchen.
Geil!
So stelle ich mir das sich für Freiburg vor.
Gemütliche Sofa Ecke, gut ausgestattete Werkstatt, kleine Küche, Serverraum und ein großer Tisch zum ruhig Arbeiten am Laptop.


Hab die Werkstatt gleich mal genutzt um den Gimbal an der Steadycam etwas tiefer zu setzen.
Ist jetzt bei gleichem Gewicht durch die größere Hebelwirkung besser ausbalanciert.
Mal sehen ob ich heute dazu komme, Test Aufnahmen zu machen...

SideHandle for SteadyCam Mark I&II on thingiverse:

(EN) 3d printed steadycam - Mark I DONE!

It is done!!!
My Steadycam Mark I is working!
The handle broke during assembly. I had to drill a large hole and "fix" it with an M8x70 nut for the time being.
The 4 M8x20 are too long. I will need to replace them with shorter ones.
But it actually works.

After some feedback in the HBS -forum I'm currently printing an improved
version of my steadycam-gimbal:

• Design in Thingiverse


• Wiki entry

The X-sled is doing some funny noises but it seems to still work well.
Had to abort a first attempt after some bend up edges of the object collided with the print-head, it lost some steps and tried to print the upper layers next to the object in mid-air.

Kann ich nur empfehlen.
Wenn die hier eine Schraube nicht haben,
dann existiert sie nicht.

(EN) 4 days left befor IPv4-exhoustion reaches next level

There are 4 days until IANA Central Registry IPv4 address exhaustion.

Regional registry IPv4 address exhaustion in 243 days.

So...how well is IPv6-support with your DSL-provider, cellphone-company, place of work, hotel/fastfood/café hotspot?

(EN) 3D printed steadycam

This weekend I am working on my gimble for a homemade steadycam. (That was long overdue. I've been postponing this for weeks alreay.)

I improved the design from v0.2 to v0.7 so far. (See the design on Thingiverse.)

I actually printed v0.2-v0.7 . In fact, I posted my lessons learned in the Thingiverse Google-Group to inspire others to do the same with the design-principles and hints they learned designing their things.

And I created some assembly instructions in my wiki.

Hopefully next week in munic I'll be able to get the last required parts and actually test the setup.

PS:
I just saw that someone forwarded my posting to a google-group openmanufacturing. I think I'll monitor that group for a while. Sounds interesting.

It seems that someone tried to sniff Sourceforge passwords.
SF has proactively disabled all passwords and people should
set themself new ones. Just in case.
At the moment login and password-reset are not possible.

With this small application, you can connect your phone to the ADB via wireless network only using IP number. There is no need for cable, vendor id settings or anything else...
Important note: This application requires root permission!

(EN) Your Dropbox API App has been approved!

In my Dropbox Folder Sync -app for Android I started integrating an NC-style file-manager a while ago.
I now factored this out into it's own project and will offer it soon as a standalone program too.
The full name is:
"Remote File Manager for Dropbox"
(due to the trademark on "Dropbox")

Due to the rise of the Android tablets, I also provided a new layout-large-land.
Now it switches to a true 2-windows NC-style display on landscapes on tablets (-large instead of the new -xlarge to support the Galaxy Tab)
and uses the existing virtual 2-window mode on smaller displays and portrait-orientation.
Of cause this feature will find it's way into Dropbox Folder Sync too.

Cool,
sounds like my import of TMC into OpenStreetMap (courtesy of BAsT) is having fruits:

Hello Marcus,
FYI first version of germany_osm*.mca with TMC support is now available for NavigatorFREE (data are from planet-110105).
Thanks for your help
