Engineering a Functional Arm Cannon for the Makers of Halo A maker built a real, functional replica of the arm cannon belonging to Vandal, a character in Bungie's video game Marathon, for use in a commercial. The builder had 18 days to complete the entire project. The build was divided into two main subsystems: a forearm clamshell mechanism and an internal barrel assembly. Bungie provided game asset mesh files for reference but, because the… |

Arduino Based Resistor Reel Cutting Machine Most advanced electronics PCB assembly lines have pick and place machines to pick components from an SMD reel and place it on a PCB. But this is not possible when you are doing medium-scale production or using THT (through-hole type) components on your PCB. This scenario holds true, in most low-cost board assemblies like LED drivers, transformerless power supplies, etc. In… |
