Making Stuff with Chris DeHut

Добавлен 27 июн 2020
Welcome to Making Stuff with Chris DeHut, my unique corner of the web.
Follow along as I explore a variety of subject matters and share those experiences with anyone wanting to watch and listen. Some videos are highly detailed, step-by-step videos such as the woodworking content. Other videos are very focused single subject videos explaining a concept, feature, or technique.
As is typical with most makers, the subject matter will be very diverse and there should be something for just about anyone interested in making things and learning.
Videos are posted at a rate of about 1 per week, usually on Friday.
This is the link to the companion site where you can find links to all the videos.

056 The Zoomie Now Has Bang Bang Steering in Reverse!
Getting the Zoomie to drive straight while traveling backwards has been a problem since the beginning. Using the encoders simply has not been reliable enough so a search has been on to find a reliable means. This video explores the old concept of Bang-Bang steering for a solution to that problem.

055 Top Level Code Review of Zoomie Control Program
Просмотров 18116 часов назад
The Zoomie Control Program has been completely re-written and a LOT has changed. This video will update you on the new structure of the program and the over concept of what changed and why. Some might say it looks a little more "classy". The end result is much more readable and certainly more clean and understandable.

054 The Tiny Code Reader from Useful Sensors is back and WOW!!!!
Просмотров 42721 день назад
A viewer suggest a very clever method to help with Robot localization using QR codes. This was considered a few months back and put on hold until now. The Tiny Code Reader from Useful Sensors is back and WOW!!!! We are pushing that technology to the limit in this renewed effort.

Some of the larger projects us Makers take on can take a lot of time and effort to get them completed. Often these projects can takes months or even years. In this video I will be showing you a technique I just started using and have found it VERY HELPFUL. The software to use is free making the price perfect.

Fixing random occurring problems is always a challenge. You never know what could be the cause and frankly, it could be anything!!! Let's take a look at this random 'bug' and see what was done to find it and kill it!

051 Implementing a Shortest Path Algorithm (Dijkstra) For Auto Routing the Robots
Просмотров 1722 месяца назад
While part of the original concept, Auto Routing was removed based on a misunderstanding. It is being re-implemented into the experiment as it will add so much more capability. As the experiment runs, each robot (Zoomie) will be dispatched at random times to random locations. That dispatch message will contain the driving directions to get to the destination. In navigation systems, shortest pat...
USB Cable For Raspberry Pi PICOs That Are Self Powered
Просмотров 6632 месяца назад
Many of your PICO projects will be self powered and you need a special USB cable to communicated with it otherwise you can damage the PICO or the batteries. Connecting USB while the PICO is powered can also create a safety hazard!. This video explain why this is a problem and how to take an ordinary and inexpensive cable and make is safe for use. BE SURE TO HAVE THE USB CABLE UNPLUGGED WHEN MAK...
050 Random Time and Place Generator For Auto Dispatching the Robots
Просмотров 1922 месяца назад
A requirement from the beginning was to have random events in the experiment. This new routine will add the ability to: * Select a random time for the robot to go somewhere * Select a random location for the robot to go to * Avoid sending a robot to a banned destination This functionality takes us another step closer to starting the actual experiments!
After fighting my old crimping tool for Dupont connectors, I found a better tool
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.2 месяца назад
There are a lot of Dupont crimping tools to choose from, some sold for Dupont connectors are not even the correct type! Frustrated with my old crimper, I went hunting for a better one and found these. So far it looks like it was a good purchase and I am already getting MUCH BETTER crimps.
049 Novel Traffic Control Method
Просмотров 1422 месяца назад
Let's explore a different method of controlling traffic by breaking the old rules. The ZoomTown experiment has been about looking at transportation from a different perspective. Getting rid of the human allows for different rules.

047 Implementing Remote Robot (Zoomie)Tracking
Просмотров 1883 месяца назад
With the ability to track the location of the robots, the Zcheduler is capable of doing MUCH MORE. The most obvious (and what is shown in this video) is the ability to show near real time location of each Zoomie. However, the Zcheduler can now become another "SENSOR" for the Zoomie! The Zoomie has no "vision" of what is going on around it, but it can ask the Zcheduler for some very critical inf...

045 Scheduler Side Trip Plan (Robot Driving Instructions)
Просмотров 1344 месяца назад
This video details the robot driving instruction creation and coding. The robot needs to travel from place to place which is a lot more challenging than you may think. While it is a trivial task to select which roads to travel, there are many more sub-tasks required to get the robot from one road to another. There will be a follow up video from the Robot's perspective and what happens when it r...
