In the Navy I used to work on Electro-mechanical over hydraulic systems which controlled the ships fin stabilizers and rudder control systems. So I understand the difficulties involved in doing something like this. Well done.
MORE!!!!!! this is so cool...... I have much respect for you for showing/explaining the small failures that have happened.
All i can is wow.. this is starting to get real, Mike! That's some crazy engineering there and it's starting to work as intended! Getting Excited here!
That is amazing. A massive Thank you to Flaming Dirt.
Thank you Andrew, it means a lot to us!!!!
Mike, I like the current follow up at the end of the video! Really gets you excited for the next one! Can't wait to see the action shots! Let's add Internet and dozer controls. Then you can sit in your office and plow the fields remotely, while Mr. NYA Millennium feeds the pipe into the hopper.👍👍
I think you should think through how the system will survive the spray from a blown hydraulic hose and the remedial power wash!
Flaming Dirt is very good thankfully. Because DP had no idea what he was doing. Lol God bless
Thank you for the compliment Thomas, but take my word for it he is wicked smart.....
@@flamingdirt669 Oh I'm aware Mike is very smart. Just like giving him a hard time. All in good fun I assure you. God bless
You should put a heat shield sleeve on those extension cord wires because I don't think there's extension cord wires are made for a lot of heat that the engine bay will be putting off
Come on guys, its a proto type. There is going to be a lot of unforeseen complications, break downs, unexplained failures, and just plain oddities. This will work.
When those SSR's fail, they commonly stick 'ON' so if by having one of the SSR's constantly on can damage anything I'd stick a power switch in to turn off the whole system, or at least make sure they only have Key on power. I hope that helps 😉
Great input Steve, I just saw your fortune cookie for today, it says: "keep watching and all your dreams will come true"
a couple of years ago I was involved in outfitting a GYROCOPTER for Law Enforcement support. We had an Infrared/real life camera mounted on a gimbal that was initially controlled with a game controller. It could be aimed from the cockpit and once an object to follow was identified, a button on the game controller would trigger automatic tracking. The Gyro had a pilot and an observer. The observer ran the cameras and could relay the video in real time to Law Enforcement on the ground. Last year the concept was tested in a CA city. After the test period that Agency decided to purchase a Gyro outfitted with similar equipment.
COOL!!!!
I got move the joy stick one way and the plow lifts. Move it the other direction and it lowers. Beyond that I’m lost but fascinated.
@Dennis Palmer
I do believe the shiny silver rectangle attached to the plow is missing the laser receiver. The receiver will track and keep the laser beam at a constant location so when the dozer grade goes up or down, the plow and tile stays level. Idk if the joy stick is for plow/tile slope adjustment or if it’s programmable or not (the slope at the beginning point to the ending point or the tile). I guess we’ll have to watch the next video to find out. Hey DP, I agree with another commentator, Mr Flaming Dirt could work for NASA!!! Nice job guys!!
@@lanecazes Thanks for the Big compliment. As for the control direction it took a quick one line code change to flip it around.
@@flamingdirt669
Brilliant concept on the entire project!! DP couldn’t have done it without your help!!! I hope you can patent this design.
@@lanecazes Thank you Iane, as for patent we discussed it on the live feed. Not going to do it for this one.
DP, you are in another world here. Flaming Dirt could be working with SpaceX with the knowledge he has. You have all the elements of a new product for the earth moving industry. Definitely 5 thumbs up on this project
Thank you very much Jim, I really appreciate that.
I would recommend mounting your junction box with hinges on the right side. That way you can swing it out of the way of the placard. I've enjoyed watching the build. Great job!
That dozer going to be able to talk like Kitt from Knight Rider when it's all done....? Lol
Great job guys!
Looking good. Possible to put rubber bushing to insulate harness box from vibration? Rock on when does production start? 😀
Nice fine tuning of the proportional control.
Very interesting and good step by step thought process...the brilliant Mr DP aka man behind the seems.....lol wanted to say that for ages..take care and ty for ur videos...
Dave that is a good one!!!
The smile on your face at the end is a dead give a way as to the success you are having with the project. There are 3 channels that I watch for a new video every day. Dirt Perfect, Farming, Fixing and Fabricating, and Logger Wade. All 3 of you are so interesting, educational and just plain fun to watch.
Thanks
I can't believe that's how you control the ripper it's a genius idea you are one very smart man Mike
Thanks
@@DirtPerfect your welcome
As a 39 years as of last January 2nd electronics tech this one was absolutely fascinating.
Thanks Mike.
It's not often your genre of RUclips channels covers electronics issues.
Your new friend FlamingDirt from Texas is a very interesting person to watch in action.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for the kind remarks Ronnie
Awesome. Totally absorbed in this project and respect for the technical acumen needed to put this together and make it work.
You are so fortunate to have the expertise of Flaming Dirt to collaborate with this project. It shows that the Dirt Perfect Brand is far more than just playing with mud !
Thank you Steve
Agree and thanks
Great accomplishment! Smart dudes in Dirt and Powder…..
Thank MP much appreciated
A big howzit to flaming dirt from Cape Town South Africa ✌️
Thank you. Lived there for several years. BEST city in SA
I'll bet it you could tell the people that designed and built the dozer that you were operating the ripper with a joystick from a game sitting outside of it ! They would call you crazy! Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks
A BULLDOZER WITH A GAMING CONTROLLER. IM IN. 👍👍🤪🤪
The gang on Big Bang Theory would be so jealous. Go DP and Flaming Dirt.
Now to do the same to the steering to follow grade contour. Good job, always learning
Mike you have taken this from idea to the real working prototype Congrats on a Very cool way to do it!!
NICE, Very NICE. As a mechanical designer myself, usually all job scopes are set. In this case your are setting up the job scope. When designers run into problems or unknowns we consult with engineers. In this case, y’all are the designers and engineers. Super impressive! I’m sure in the next video you’ll explain how the laser is received and how it is integrated with the plow controller. Again, SUPER IMPRESSIVE! My hats off to you to guys!!!
Great video. Also congratulations on 130k subscribers. Onward to 150k.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Enjoying the build thru your eyes. Looking forward to seeing more. Wishing you and your family the best.
All those years of playing video games are paying off I'd say! So very interesting guys and fascinating to watch.
This is incredible to watch and what a nice and neat job your doing. Stay safe
looking forward to the finished vid and in operation
Mike great video! Your help is amazing, thank goodness for friends that are willing to help! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Thanks 👍
Talk about fiddly. Looking very good.
Your gonna have the coolest dozer! Oh you could buy one of those little fans like stereo amps have to keep the relays cool.
Hey Dad? Can I get my joy stick back? Knew it would work. Good job guys.
Absolutely awesome! Requests for Orders are going to pour in wanting you to build controller systems! DP&FD Control Systems, LTD! Great video Mike! Lee
Words fail me here, (and if you knew me, you'd know how much that project is impressing me.) Can't wait for the next video.
👍👍 I`m already tuned in ,waiting for you buddie.
Reminds me what I did on my mechatronics course so many years ago, now that was fun, good video Mike and Flaming dirt great job.
Milliamperes? Millimeters? Million wires? Way over my head, bud. But, I do appreciate a responsive video game controller!
I can hardly wait until the next lesson. Wherein, we learn…
1. How to earn more Energy Packs.
2. How to enable Stealth Mode.
3. Where to find the Invincibility Cloak.
4. What effect the Levitation Ray has.
5. How big is the payout for rescuing the Princess.
O’ Mikey you have my attention!!!
SV, they rescued the princess from the possum earilier in the video, guess you missed it!😁
@@dansevern3291 I guess it’s Game Over then! LOL
What a great project. Love the stuff you are doing.
Glad you enjoy it!
Good morning all have a very great day today!!!😀😀
and you to. :)
Same to you
Put some capacitors across the relay coils and points to keep spikes and arcing out of the system. It will make the relay points last longer
@@IGDZILLA Yep. I assumed relays and solenoid.
@@IGDZILLA Yes Klaatu is 100% correct. The diodes was the answer. Crazy Fact that back EMF from the 24V system registered nearly 250V on the scope. I had NO IDEA is was going to be that bad. The poor 60V SSRs had no chance. But with the diodes in it was no problem at all.
Coming along nicely!
Definitely not boring for damn sure. I have seen some other applications where a joystick was involved, I think it involved micro voltage, something I have no clue on
Definitely some cool stuff. I understand the basics of it, but the programming Flaming Dirt is doing is pretty impressive.
Thank you Blue, happy you enjoying the episodes. The COOL stuff in only starting now.
Hi from uk Mike and crews👋👍 wow am fascinated by this technology and how to programme switches etc but still goin over my head to be honest tho really interesting to watch you guys fine tune 👌 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon guys👍👋
Thanks
Outstanding!!!.. 👍💪😎. Excellent work guy's.
A very unique DP addition. I hope none of the big guys like Cat, or John Deere, try to steal your ideas. Maybe you should patent it to be safe. Good added bonus with Maggie and the critter.
Such a great collaboration! I really like FlamingDirt’s website…to bad I don’t have my Jeep any more 🙋♀️
Thank you Linda. You can always get the Hood Latches for now and then put the Jeep under it later :-) :-)
Keep them coming.....🙌
We were all looking forward to video of you battling the ferocious brown critter
You MUST ask Mike in the next life feed for an update on what happened to the Possum
U need a vacation!
Nice update DP !
Looking great Mike
Pulse tech on the salt spreader s work the sameness w ground speed a rate control..
to coin a phrase from morgan freeman it was at this moment that he knew he had FUCKED up
Totally and I felt like a fool. It took 5 minutes on the Webs to see that it was never going to work without the diodes!!!!
Knocking it out of the park this is fascinating and interesting it’s getting better with every video !
🤯🤪mind blown. fantastic watching this thought proccess working through. even by this point we can see the idea coming a reality.
Don't pull the eject handle.. You might go out thru the roof.....
Great job guy's. God bless
Love seeing you so thrilled with the outcome. Congratulations to you both.
Great job can’t wait to see it working
Outstanding progress!
Thanks
Greetings from No VT - Awesome, awesome, awesome. Looking forward to the laser segment. You guys are really impressive.
Thanks
That is awesome!! This project reminds me of the movie Real Genius. Cool stuff
Oh man, that was my dream movie!!!!! Never thought of that until now. I actually got to live most of that dream. Thx for taking my back bud.
Looking fantastic for use as a backup manual control on the simpler jobs. But have to say when you pull back the ripper should go up and when pushed forward it should go down; or your average flight simulators head will explode.
That is becoming more than awesome
heck dirt perfect everyone will want one now cheers
wow! Just remember DP. It is bespoke to you and your machine. Keep on plowing (the good work). You have the right man to help you with your goal. Nar ya still not crazy.
Most definitely a 🏆. It gonna work.
Its Friday yeah who what a great way to start the weekend
Bionic dozer yeah that just about covers it I recon. Made for interesting viewing though. Safe travels
DP I don't usually have any good suggestions when you are operating machines. However I do today. When your drilling metal like you did for cleanup of the shavings just take a magnet put it in a plastic bag and pick up the shavings. Peel the bag off the magnet and throw the shavings away. Feel good I actually had an idea for you! LOL Thanks for sharing.
That is a great idea Andrew, going to use it in the prototype showp We often need to do mods after the initial test and I have pulled all sorts of (Not so Smart) tricks not wanting to drill inside a completed project. THX!!!
It was mentioned below but worth saying again... Heat sinks should be in direct contact with the relays. Consider mounting an L bracket inside the box then mount the relays and heat sink to the bracket. You might need a small fan on the box with a small air filter to keep things from building dust. Also, plastic box between heat sink and heat source spells fire. This is my area of expertise. This would never be allowed on our rail equipment.
One more thing to consider, do you have any stop switches to prevent travel beyond limits on the boot? AKA limit switches or sensors.
Well good thing they are sorry to disappoint you
This is turning in to quite a major project but in a good way. You are going to have a really sweet system when you are finished, and I'm impressed with your electronics skills. Keep up the great work 👍 and don't forget to patent your design before someone copies it 😀
Fantastic ❤️
When you asked us how many subscribers do you think Dirt Perfet would have by the end of the year I was way off, I think you had 114k at the time and my guess was 131k by the end of the year. I was way the hell off, y'all are gonna blow through 150k subs by the end of the year! Love the channel, keep it up!
More great R&D going on . Great job loving it! Some great input from other viewers as well to beef up and protect the system 👍
I like his thought process, it goes where we tell it to go. That’s what’s great about designing something it goes where you tell it to. That’s some awesome wiring. Glad it’s not me.
as future expansion couldnt a gps reciever be installed on the ripper frame and just add the controls? this is awesome, more along my lines than your normal work im sitting here dreaming up adding a raspberry pi or other sbc to act as a command and control center for this, thats the fun of tech hacking things together and making new things from common parts. im more software than hardware but i love all of it.
nice work on this been looking forward to seeing it, none of the above was meant to detract from the awesomeness that you two have done so far.
Erik we covered this in the live feed. It will take any digital input. So yes GPS can be one too
@@flamingdirt669 eally nice work on this. sorry i did hear you say that now that you reminded me, lol at getting old.
@@erikgiggey4783 I'm still waiting for someone to take me up on the last option in the conversation "Even someone running next to the plow typing in heights on a little keyboard". But sadly.... to takers yet.
U will have to get gerry a new lead jacket to keep all that electricity away from him 😆😆 very interesting stuff 👍
Thx Michael, that one sure made me laugh!!!
You are getting there
Just little more fine tuning. You might want to get some thermo heat shield and some wire split loom for the wire because of the heat in the area under the cab
That’s mind blowing DP
Very impressive what you have accomplished so far
Thx POPPS!!!
I love the controller I say keep that in dozer it looks awesome
Thats cool but I'm wondering what Jerry thinks? lol It should work very nice. Keep smilin
I do software for a living and this was so cool to watch. I like to play around with the Arduinos some but with 3 kids there is not much time left in the day. Just a quick thought here. If you you pair it with a raspberry PI you could get a touch screen in the cab that would enable you to translate the digital readings from the laser into the cab as well as other fun metrics that may be useful like temperature of the components under the dozer.
I wish I knew that much about computers. I’d like to learn how to program, code, etc. but I’m fifty years old and it’s a lot harder for me to learn as it use to be.
If you put the Raspberry PI, you can add an LVDT to the arm. Then you could actually command it how much to go up or down instead of using the joystick.
@@daveschroedersworkshop4479 I know right the possibilities are really endless.
@@daveschroedersworkshop4479 you guys just keep blowing my mind. Man I’m out of touch with technology.
@@nathanscott7910 You're never too old. I'm 67 and I'm still into stuff up to the elbows. Just putting together a new LED clock for my workshop...
Good morning Mike. It is always possible to mount a computer fan in the box. They are always 12V
Outstanding work. I am very much looking forward to the next one. By the way, these videos can never be too long. I would watch 3h of this... Thanks.
John Deere field cultivators have a system to keep the implement at a set depth
No what I am looking for here
Love it when a plan comes together, good stuff
Now that is gaming in real life 😆 that is just awesome that you two have accomplished that with a gaming controller, extensions cords and a box of jelly bean parts. Can't wait to see the next video in this series and again thank you to Flaming Dirt for making this Perfect Flaming Dirt team up happen to give Forest laser guidance. Very education and entertaining for sure. Keep up the great work you guys 😁👍
HI Ouboet proudly South African
this intrigues me very much
I hope your special grommet as you called it, it’s actual a strain relief fitting. They make them water proof also I hope you used the water proof ones so if you have a hose blow or water gets in while pressure washer it won’t get past the strain reliefs and cause a short. I love you are designing and building this system yourself and your buddy. Good luck and I hope you have no problems with this system.
neat setup, it will work
