Blocks: build it like Minecraft. Play it on your kitchen table.
Build a tiny house. Turn it into a real object. Give it a secret and a story. Blocks connects familiar block building with 3D printing—and gives parents a very good excuse to join in.

Debricking a Formlabs Form 3+, Part 2: Booting the Real Kernel and Healing the Rot
Continuing the Form 3+ recovery: getting a root shell by booting the genuine kernel against my own rescue initramfs, finding the bit-rot was far wider than one file, and bringing the printer back by booting its clean A/B slot.
Debricking a Formlabs Form 3+: SOM failure and black screen of no boot
My Formlabs Form 3+ stopped booting with no firmware update and no power event behind it. How I diagnosed it down to the hardware: wiring a serial console, reading the boot log, finding a corrupt C library, and reading the boot flash with a Raspberry Pi.
Sliding workshop table
Workshop space is getting tight — especially since I started building the CNC mill — so I'm trying to use the room creatively.
Cupcake 3D - printing wheel
Printing wheels is quite common among users of Cupcake and RepRap clones. This movie shows the whole process from printing raft to finishing production. Cupcake makes exsperimenting with robotics a whole new story. ABS is really robust mate
ARMBra!nz
One of my latest projects taking longer than it should to complete. Still missing connection from ARM to FPGA. The board will feature: AT91RM9200 ARM with Micron 32MB SDRAM Xilinx Spartan IIE XC2S150 150k Gates FPGA ATmega32 for easy PWM an
SWBStick - introduction
SWBStick project was created as a base for SWB (SWTC) courses which took place of TEC. Main goal of SWB is to familiarise students with real life, current trends in electronics. We choose practical knowledge instead of pure theory. Device h
New toy – ModuBra!nz controller
This design is intended for more powerful robots. I need this to interact with NokiBot. But have experimented with VaioBot and prove that ModuBra!nz is very capable controller. It features: I2C at TTL and LVTLL levels (5V & 3.3V) SPI at
swbStick is now Arduino capable!
To extend the swbStick platform further, I had a go at Arduino. I managed to port the bootloader to ATmega32 at 18.432MHz and build the project definitions (Sketchbook) for Arduino.
Roomba Hacking
PJWSTK's Robotics and Multi-Agent Systems department bought ten iRobot Roombas. The lab is finally clean.
