Great Idea Eric. We used what we could find. I think this is a good example to explain the reality of a project like this in Derby. We had 14 days to build and anything you order takes 6 days for delivery. So we had one of 3 choices . 1) I had the forethought to bring it(FYI I did bring an E-Stop it was DOA) 2) We get very lucky and find it in one of the towns nearby 3) We make do with what we got( That E-stop was an old one DP had laying around). So yes there is a lot on this build that is done by Cpt. Kleeman rules "Run what you Brung!!!". It was fun though to figure out an alternative for some problems.
When it’s all said and done, I would love to hear a cost breakdown of everything you did for this tile plow, start to finish This is a ton of work, but a great end result!
That might take some time. It could be years before we know the total therapy bill for DP. After 2 weeks of dealing with a Geek.... Who knows when he will recover :-) :-) :-)
I repair electronics and am slowly learning how circuits work, Sir Flaming Dirt is way beyond myself my hat is off to him for his custom circuit designs !
As a hobbyist who also loves making CNC type stuff and other controlled gadgets this one is pretty cool. I know it's hard to explain for those who understand this is cool.
Having messed a tiny bit with Arduino, I understand the basic concepts of the coding and the work that went into writing the code. Application of off the shelf hardware can make the job of prototyping much easier. Good luck. Enjoy the channel.
This was a really great video !!! I know that a lot of work into it and I am anxious to see it in the ground, there may be a few things to make little adjustments to, but I believe that it will work great . It sure has been great watching this whole build, from start to finish on the tile plow, from the first video about it . You all have put a lot of work into this and have had to back up and make a few changes, but it has turned out great . So thumbs up to you Mike, Aaron, and Flaming Dirt and anyone else involved for taking us through the build allowing us to watch and enjoy the fun that you all had . 🤗👍🤔🙃🙄😆💖💫
Thank you Jeffrey. Mike promised us plowing videos' tomorrow in his short this morning. And I know the first time he plowed again was test day. So I think the wait is over!!!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Great video, can’t wait to see it in the field making you money. Special thanks to flaming dirt for his creativity and dedication not only to convincing you to let him play with your big boy toys but to actually follow thru and getting it to work. I’m pretty good at coming up with esoteric ideas but seldom have had the ability to watch them see the light of day. He’s living my dream job and my hats off to him. Greatest respect. If you ever need more ideas I have a few ready that just need to be implemented. 😂 wishing you, your crew, and family all the best.
I understand how much work went into that system. (in the 80s I used to write prgrammes, and the simplest thing always took longer than expected andthe testing was a sizable proportion of time) Congratulations and very well done to both of you, especially the programmer.
@@flamingdirt669 I've seen the next video. It works. Very well done. again. Pity you are in the US. I have Merlo Multifarmer that could do with a "float" position for the front bucket when the boom is less than say 10 degrees up.
Keep in mind Mike that if that display box is on the front dash it'll be exposed to the sun when the Dozer is not in use and the heat generated by the sun bearing down on it could literally cook the electronics. I've seen it happen to electronics on boats. It's why my boss down in the Keys began putting white covers over his depth / fish finder abd stopped having to buy new ones regularly when Isuggestedittohim..
DP Mike, The Dirt Ripper Tesla engineer for heavy Equipment….lol. This was much more technical than just watching a light bulb be developed. Awesome video Mike. Thanks to DP & Flaming Dirt for sharing your vision and design work.
With all of the effort to make this system work, it's far more understandable as to why these systems cost so much to install and maintain. My hats off to both of you for taking the time and effort to see this project to completion. Eagerly awaiting for the video showing this in operation.
No doubt words can never describe every detail and step into Amy project especially a homemade gadget like what guys guys have created. I believe that laser chaser and tile plow setup is the ultimate candidate for a "Built not Bought" tag. Look forward to seeing her in the dirt. Keep up the amazing guys guys 😁👍
That is awesome. I hope it works as well as it looks. A great name for it would be "The Flaming Dirt Perfect Laser System". It would give both of you credit for the build.
I think this is fantastic. I drove an A35c dump truck in 2003 and so they had similar equipment on a dozer blade. it was fun to see when the road was created and the excavator only needed to run the excavator. The laser took care of the blade.
This set up is so cool and has been alot of fun to watch you all build it and to set and take four days to get the wiring set up so you can run it with a joist stick in the cab shows alot of patience...I can't wait to see a video of you all using this to install the pipe
As I have said before Mike loved this part of my job problem solving is great for the brain lets you know are alive and makes things interesting. I have enjoyed this project well done to you both.
congrats, you have successfully melded dirt, rocks and heavy equipment with electronics engineering! As a veteran of the military power electronics industry (Raytheon 42+ years) I will tell you that there is no greater feeling (well almost!) than pressing a button and having a complicated system do what you envisioned when you started with a "blank sheet of paper". One caution however, you absolutely have to secure all those wires, pins & connectors before you go out on a paying job. I worked on the big truck & trailer mounted ground RADAR transmitter for Patriot and you would be surprised as to what happens with vehicular mounted electronics. Including dust & dirt over time. In the end "don't be discouraged if it doesn't work perfectly just be amazed it works at all" Great fun!
Firstly, "Thank you for your service" You Awesome Raytheon Geeks are the true unsung heroes. Building all the cool stuff that keep our buys & girls safe in theater and never getting any recognition for it. Secondly, Thank you for the comment and shareing your project, It sounds fascinating
DP your excitement during is project has been fun to watch. You and Flaming Dirt made an idea in to a great addition that we all hope will make putting your tile in so much accurate.
Well done. I am an engineer and have worked around the world with some good electrical/electronic guys in my career and good ones like the one you have are a joy to work with. The time flies by on a project like this.
There is a good cable containment product called energy chain. It would help ou contain the wires in a controlled way as the stepper motor moves up and down. Great Job! Love watching the development process!
Mike may I suggest on that roller plate. To cover the surface that will contact the boot in red Loctite. Loctite is liquid Teflon and will reduce friction. Just paint it on and let dry. God bless
Hi from uk Mike and crews👋👍 I dont know what to say 🤔 just awesome i.t skills to make this work I mean doin all this with 3 or 4 systems to make 1 brilliant mind control man I am totally in awe of these skills I mean proper software genius👌💪 you guys have really nailed this 👍 I have loveed following this series 💚 great stuff thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
Can’t wait to see this working in the field, very exciting. I’m hoping you don’t have problems with dirt or dust getting into the tracks of the laser receiver.
Mr. DP, if you end up with binding or excessive wear on your new floating boss, consider bolting on a Gatkie bearing surface to the boss. The rail industry uses these for coupler carriers to reduce wear on the bottom of the coupler shank. You can also weld a sacrificial wear plate to the face if Gatkie doesn't hold up. Good to see you added limit switches to your automated leveling system.
Mike had to laugh on some off your comments. But its so nice to see all that hard work come together. Lets hope that it works that good in the field. Hats off to Flaming Dirt. Hurry with the field test video. Nice job Guys.
It's good to see the Arduino products being used for real world work. I play with these gadgets, just for educating myself, after a 20 year career in IT.
You guys are just pioneers of the modern tech now lol... Micro electronics and boards like the aurdino / raspberry pi being used on your tile plow there are the future! super excited to see it test running in the shop.. can't wait to see it on the field test!
Just going to have to move the fire extinguisher bracket higher priority comment generator ✔️ 😂😆😂😆 and that's awesome 👍😎. Thanks to the help of Flaming dirt. As always good luck and God Bless.
How to set up your gauges drag racing some people like it out front and some people like it off the side but that's to your advantage of what you want to see and how comfortable you want to feel when you see that because you guys are always turning your neck back and forth
Fantastic I would double check the duty cycle rating of the hydraulic solenoids. Too much continuos adjusting could cause an issue. I am sure you looked at that but thought I would bring it up.
I`m quickly running out of superlatives with which to describe your videos Mike,so for this one "incredible" and as for "Mr Flaming Dirt"..... Genius!!!
Was waiting on a it’s alive it’s alive 😎 hope the changes to the plow was. MBTS approved 😎 great job Mike and Flaming Dirt that’s going to work great in the field stay safe and see you on the next one
My level of patience, coupled with OCD will not allow me to do any type of wiring. Major respect to Flaming Dirt, and anyone else with the ability to work in wiring. This grade control system is amazing.
Thank you William . and don't let 3 letter acronyms ever stop you. I have every single one and look what I accomplished with DP's help ps. Yes it did take 5 minutes to spell all those big words:-)
Mike , if you still have problems with friction where you replaced the rollers , attach a piece of Delrin to the plates with flat head Allen bolts . Isn't prototyping fun when it comes together ?
Love to see it work wen you its time to go .
A simple suggestion: your E-stop should light up when engaged.
Great Idea Eric. We used what we could find. I think this is a good example to explain the reality of a project like this in Derby. We had 14 days to build and anything you order takes 6 days for delivery. So we had one of 3 choices . 1) I had the forethought to bring it(FYI I did bring an E-Stop it was DOA) 2) We get very lucky and find it in one of the towns nearby 3) We make do with what we got( That E-stop was an old one DP had laying around).

I have confidence that between you two gentleman's combined intelligence. This will get ironed out and will work great. God bless
Thank you Thomas. Keep your fingers crossed. I believe tomorrow is the BIG day!!!
When it’s all said and done, I would love to hear a cost breakdown of everything you did for this tile plow, start to finish
This is a ton of work, but a great end result!

Another installment of fun and totally interesting stuff. good morning all😀😀

lots of work but great job guys. now to see it in the dirt. cheers.
Turn the key and start plowing some tile🤗 Nicely done gentlemen 👍🇺🇸
Now, that I understand it, it is very cool!
Mike totally awesome,thanks for sharing! Kevin
If I had half the knowledge you two men have, that is going to be awesome!
I'm sure you'll be saying, Perfect, alot with this. I've seen the short videos. You're already recouping funds. That's great.
Mike may I suggest on that roller plate. To cover the surface that will contact the boot in red Loctite. Loctite is liquid Teflon and will reduce friction. Just paint it on and let dry. God bless
Thomas. that plate did just fine. BUT I'm definitely going to use your idea on other projects. GREAT IDEA!!!!
Wow that is so neat Mike! Really impressed by the programming and hardware in this
Thanks buddy
What a great project and “team” effort! Can’t wait to see you digging up the dirt!
6:54 "It verks! It verks! Vee vill soon rule the world!" Job well done guys.
Thanks you just made my day!!!!
Flaming Dirt is a freakin genius!!! His capability to go from concept to reality is something to behold for sure. I so envy his beautiful mind!!
Wow Rick, that is a huge compliment.
Agree
Flaming Dirt is a man to admire.
Thank you Martin, that is a huge compliment.
Hi from uk Mike and crews👋👍 I dont know what to say 🤔 just awesome i.t skills to make this work I mean doin all this with 3 or 4 systems to make 1 brilliant mind control man I am totally in awe of these skills I mean proper software genius👌💪 you guys have really nailed this 👍 I have loveed following this series 💚 great stuff thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋

Thank you for taking us along with you on the project I learned a lot as well
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the system. I hope in the end you saved a lot of money. Eather way made great videos.
Flaming dirt seems pretty darn smart!!!!
Thx David appreciate it.
Just yesterday I watched you and Matt NYA Millennial do the pipe layout on a huge project and this new device will be awesome! Congrats.
Yup working on it now
That is a very interesting and neat overhead crane system
Looks great.
Outstanding job guys! Way to go!!!
