Another day another #clockblock (at Wiley Cousins)

With a whole 2 hours to spare got lamp 1 of 2 done #noew2014 (at Wiley Cousins)

precision engineering, needs well... precision engineering

so we've had a cnc in the shop for a little while now thanks to a friend (Domenic Guinta), and its status has been working but not great. It had a severe levelness issue... in that it was about .07 inches from level in various points. This is a big deal in precision engineering....

We decided there was no time like the present to get this bad boy running at its full potential. we completely dissembled the whole thing and re-engineered how its base works. This was an important first step. Next we adjusted all the slide mount points to be as level as possible from the cheap kit (CNC Mogul). The results were great. Its now +/- .01 inches from level at various points. We'd like it to be a little tighter, but given that some of the adjustments were made with a rubber mallet... it'll do.

Here's some pictures from the re-build:

using a rubber mallet to adjust the right side of the X axis height

before image of the level test. notice how shallow the line is close to the camera and how deep it is far away... ya that's bad

also went ahead an laid it down flat, cuz that's just generally a good idea... and yes thats a beer in a koozie that is magnetically stuck to a metal rack. so handy

I only ended up bleeding once!

and now we have a nice new sign on our door!

Excited for intro to circuits #getclever @wileycousins at @gopropeller

Start off the day the right way. Breakfast poboy, Irish coffee (that says your name), and an Amber. Happy #mardigras

Signups are now officially live for our first Wiley Cousins courses! Head on over to our classes page to take a look.

Want to learn how to program and create awesome visualizations in Processing from a person who frequently straps computing devices to himself? You'll be the next person Facebook pays $20 billion. Take a look at Intro to Programming taught by Cole Wiley.

Want to learn what this newfangled "electricity" stuff is from a person whose circuits have shocked zero people* with mains AC voltage? You'll go from zero knowledge to fearless conqueror of op-amps. Take a look at Intro to Circuits taught by Michael Cousins.

take classes & get clever

we are proud to announce that the Wiley Cousins education department is officially starting. Mike and I have both long loved teaching and sharing knowledge, so we are putting that into a more formal practice starting March 6th. I will be teaching a Processing class every thursday night from 6-7pm (conveniently right before makers of no). Leading up to the class I'll be posting cool projects that were created with Processing.

Here's a still from a music visualizer I made a few years ago, and here's the source

We took Michael to Camellia Grill... He made up a new dish, burger with a fried egg on a waffle and a side of fries... There were no survivors (at The Camellia Grill)
