Raspberry Pi Ceph cluster

A Ceph cluster made from Raspberry Pi 3 boards. (Three B+ models and one older non-plus board.) Please note: this documentation is not perfect, it’s made for cephs “pacific” release, touches only those things that I have come across to and is mostly just a tutorial / journal for myself.Real ceph docs: https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/ If you came here only to figure...

Magicmaker Sluban 3D-printer

After moving into a new apartment I had a real need for a smaller 3D-printer as I don’t really have room for my bigger printer right now. After searcing around for a while I found this printer from AliExpress that meets all my requirements: It has a very small footprint, about the size of a coffee machine It holds the...

Different multicopter configurations

A list of different configurations you can build a multicopter in. It would be cool to build one in every different config to find out the pros and cons of each type as well as to experience different flight charasteristics. I made these pictures for something totally different but thought that I could share them here too. If you know...

It’s quiet here

(Happy leap day) I know it has been really quiet here for a while but that only means I have been really busy lately. I have built many things I have not posted about and I have been planning even more things. Some projects take too ong to finish while others never seem to get going. All of them will...

Contrastick, the plan.

Contrastick, a bicopter with contra rotating motors is a successor for my flying stick design. This post is just about my plan to build one. The cad model and pictures, thoughts and ideas. The motor I’m using with this build, two 2212 1400KV motors stacked together equipped with 9″ propellers. Motor came with a bracket I’m not going to use....

“A Flying Stick”

A flying stick, or a coaxial bi-copter, is what I decided to build once I saw the video by RCTESTFLIGHT. Even though he clearly didn’t put too much effort into the design the concept was cool and the idea was quite simple even if it might look complicated. I knew I could do much better job in creating one of...

PC HDD bay upgrade

Got some more storage for my PC recently. These are the parts that I got from ebay and banggood.com. 4-port SATA expansion card and bays to house 3x 3.5″ drives and one 2.5″ SSD. Disgustingly dusty PC. Cleaned all that too. Just installing these was kind of straight forward operation and not too exciting at all. The important decision, red...

RC-paramotor build

This month I built an RC-paramotor designed by Tom Stanton. To me this was something completely unknown and new. I just saw Stantons instagram post and knew that’s something I want to build, at least partly just because I hadn’t built anything like it before. Here’s Stantons original thingiverse post. First thing was of course to find someone with big...

Head tracker drifting problem, attempted solution.

As I stated in my last post, I thought the problem causing my headtracker to drift was the IPD rods getting magnetized, I changed them, but that didn’t do anything. Even though this didn’t solve my initial problem I thought I’d share this process of opening fatshark goggles. I was warned that it might not be easy and you must...

Fixing drifting head tracker, the problem

Last month I got myself one of these head trackers that fit inside your Fatshark Dominator goggles. Trinity Head Tracker Module – FSV2413 to be exact. I bought it used from a fellow hobbyist so I got for good price with all the cables needed to use it with my Futaba radio or ImmersionRC ezUHF external transmitter that I use...
