I have extended the camera mounting brackets by an extra 40mm, so I now can photograph a full A4 sheet of paper. The RPi is now mounting a NFS share on my home QNAP, so no data files are now stored on the Doc-Pi. This is now turning more into a EDMS (Electronic Document Management System) and softwa...

That looks fantastic! Where does the PSU and switch sit?

Only just found this post. Well done with the design. Yes, that is a lot of RPi's! Looking fwd to seeing how it all performs.

LOL - well done. Looking fwd to checking it out! That is a very neat device and sooo useful.

Wow, that was an informative read on the ware and tear of a brass nozzle! Thanks for the link

Yes I saw that. Looking fwd to having a good read of it when things quieten down in a weeks time

The meeting is every second Sat. of the month, so it's on the 14th of Nov.

I haven't had time to play with it yet, but thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for the feedback BeJay. Sounds like it's quite flexible. Love the vac attachment. Well done.

Hey, well done!

Yes, the battery is 100% stuffed! Try for a refund?

Hi Dylan,

what is the battery voltage now? What was the voltage after charging? Otherwise, bring it along to the meeting this Sat. and we can have a look at it for you. I will bring my 12V battery along as well.

The MPT3055VL MOSFETS arrived today from Altronics in Perth. They work a treat. I can see them being used in a lot of places. Thanks for the tip BeJay!

and how thick a sheet of wood can it cut? Say MDF or pine?

Ah, school holiday project time!

Thanks BeJay. I have many fond memories of playing around with 2N3055 transistors in the 80's and 90's. Due to the heat load, my Hi-Voltage rig can only run for 30-45 seconds using a heatsinked 2N3055 transistor. You have reminded me of the project. I think it's sitting in the shed in pieces at the ...

Loved the video there BeJay, well done. Great music track too

Early days yet, but any thoughts on adding a laser head to it?

Well, the Felix 3D Printer has been running hot this weekend, busy printing out a newly designed LED support arm to fit the 3 x 5W 8mm bar LED's and - finally - the last missing piece of the DOC-Pi assembly, a bracket that runs from the top of the LED arm up to the top camera sled (brown - only two ...

Nice one there BeJay!

Keep them coming! Love the over head camera shot. Is that a RPi camera?
