A channel dedicated to science, history, and the evolution of new technologies. I'd like to share my love of A.I. and my autonomous remote-control car project. As well, explore how telecommunications grew from a few basic ideas, to massive networks.
Why Build a CNC Machine?
I took a break and built a thing!
A quick intro to why one might want to build a CNC machine. We will have to put this to work for some builds for the channel!

How does Computer Vision work?
มุมมอง 280ปีที่แล้ว
Let's explore how computer vision works. What are convolution neural networks, how do they work and how do they let computers 'see'. We will also explore where transformers like STEGO will take computer vision beyond CNNs. This will provide some background to some of the things we will be testing on the Pi Car Project.
How does the eye work?
มุมมอง 122ปีที่แล้ว
Eyes have less in common with cameras than you think! In this video we explore the foundations of human vision with: a brief review of the components of the human eye, we look at how the retina circuits work, and what impacts those circuits have one how we see. This will show how different the eyes operate than your standard digital camera! As well, this will serve as a foundation for the next ...
Unlock the Secret to Designing with Neurons, and Vending Machines!
มุมมอง 56ปีที่แล้ว
In this video we explore how Finite State Machines work, how they can aid design of physical and software systems. I use the example of a vending machine and a neuron (both in the current artificial networks, and in biology) to show how they work, and how they differ. With this design tool, we can plan out how to implement systems. Key for the Robot Car Blog. The state machine we use for the bi...

How to fix a sharking servo motor? - Robot Car Blog Ep.2
มุมมอง 18Kปีที่แล้ว
Lets explore what can go wrong with small servos and how to fix issues! While mounting the PAN-Tilt Hat on the Robot Car Project, I noticed the servos shaking during pauses in movement. Lets dive in. This is the second entry into the Robot Car Blog, a test bench for an up and coming AI project that I'll be sharing here as well! For examples of how to use this method of servo control, here is th...

Ian Horseman - Builder of Things - Intro
I’m scared the time it frees up will be spent on CAD software. Enjoy my shop time as a break from work screens, but what can you do?
This is true, CNC adds a whole new stable of CAD tools. I'm one of those that draws my wood projects in sketchup first, so I'm switching form that to Carveco Maker and doing some glue up while this new addition to the shop cuts out some beautiful things (or borks them completely)
Bro i had a 1:16 rc car, after i used a month the servo was shaking. I hade no idea can you help me please😢
Did something specific happen to the car before it started to shake? The shaking can either be an electrical cause (as described in the video) or mechanical.
Excellent. My pan tilt build works well all day with an ESP-CAM. The Arduino is boss when controlling servos. A few years ago I took up SBC's and MCU's, I stayed with MCU's because of functionality, community and price. I never looked back. Minicomputers don't make good toys, MCU's do.
Thank you my ap world class thanks you 🙏
My pleasure. I am working on a follow up about the early telephone as well.
Hello awesome video.
Thx awesome video subbbed.
Thanks, this was very helpful. I had an issue with a servo buzzing while idle and ended up mitigating it by simply calling servo.detach() while not in use. Simple idea, yet for some reason I didn't think of it.
nice KISS concept. In actual companies they use the KICU = keep it complicated and unusable
Indeed they do. I have had the pleasure to do work for some very large corporations though the best of them do use the version I give for southwest airlines. A complicated or "overkill" solution can become simple if it eliminates extra steps when you scale. Small companies have a way easier time dealing with unique solutions (that are cheap and bespoke) than big ones 🤣
"Promo sm"
Some day maybe I'll get to partner with products that I like
On the car with the camera arm. Did you use a state machine and arrays for that. Did you run all the motors and servo in the same program? I would like to see more on that code. Did the power have and issue with running that at once? I would think that those motors and that small servos have a low probably a 1.5 amps requirement. I just realized that the mg996 require like 2.5 amps and my wall adapter I have powering it is only 1.5 amps. I feel cheesy once I realized this. I have been trying to figure out why I was not getting the power or the torque I needed. Still to do more research. But yea we need to start acknowledging the amp requirements and the state machine and the Millis and the arrays. Especially when we want to run different motors and servos or anything else at different times and different directions. Everybody just goes to the delay in the same direction and same time. It's not helping. But yea like to see the code on the car with the camera arm.
I can do a deep dive into the RC code for the car. The camera and drive code are the same script though it has multiple threads. The scripts are available in the GitHub link in the description.
wow, dude!!!OMG! and I was about to go out and try a Digital servo! THANK YOU! dang!
Awesome video! Thanks so much for this. Finally found the solution to this problem after a couple frustrating hours looking into things like using a decoupling capacitor to stabilize power, using a ferrite ring core to reduce noise, etc. Turns out that for my use case all I needed was your move and kill method!
My pleasure. I'm glad some of my on the fly problem solving could help with your project too!
Yes the algorithm chose you and you deserve it
This video came onto my recommended, and honestly half way through I went to subscribe expecting to see you with thousands of subscribers. The fact you do not have thousands of subscribers is criminal. I will definitely have notifications on for you. Quality stuff!
Thanks! That helps keep the momentum up!
thank you soo much, please keep making videos
my pleasure! there are 2 more in the works.
That was great! May I use Arduino Uno for this project for my device permanently instead of Rasp Berry Pi?
You definately can use an Uno for servo or motor control. If you want to do more complicated computer vision ( like the further steps in this car project) you be better served by a Pi or any of the Pi knock offs (Banana etc)
Well done builder of things!!! I enjoyed the video.
Thanks! This one is the best of the bunch so far. Need to replicate its style!
How i can contact
I added the email for the channel to the 'about' page if needed. The comment section also works - I am happy to discuss servos and other tech problems here.
great video thank you for sharing
My pleasure!
U solved my problem!! thank you so much sear.
Glad you found it helpful!
You are posting one tutorial in every month...? also I searched "banana pi robot" that brings me to your video...
The plan is to post every 2 weeks to one month. I have some shorter topics to cover and those will go up faster. The next topics will likely be installing a pi sugar 2 battery and foundations of human vision. Happy to speak to a topic if you have questions. Banana pi vs raspberry pi is probably an interesting one pros, cons etc.
Great video 😊
Thanks! 😊
