N scale town module -- various kits
The last minute roundabout idea which turned out surprisingly well.
I'll let you ponder over how this was made.
What to do with your old Entertainment Books? Make a Sonobe module out of them of course! The paper is stiff enough to stay sturdy but is still able to be folded. The coupons are nearly square (just a little trimming required) and there's a variety of colours. I'm still planning what to do with the gold section.
Donations of your old Entertainment Books (who uses all their vouchers anyway?) happily accepted! If only I'd thought of doing this sooner I would have had years worth of books to use as materials.
This model was based on a Sonobe Module Variation.
A test version of the European Service Module at NASA’s Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, USA. ESA’s module will power NASA’s Orion spacecraft to the Moon and beyond, providing propulsion, electricity, water, oxygen and nitrogen and thermal control.
This test article has the same structure and weight as the real thing but does not include the electronics and engines. It is being used to confirm the design before starting to build the flight version.
From a design perspective, the launch is one of the most demanding moments in a mission. Orion will sit atop the Space Launch System and more than 2500 tonnes of propellant. The vibrations and forces are intense until they reach the relative calm of space.
To ensure the service module can withstand these forces, it is placed on a large table that shakes and moves to recreate the vibrations of launch. Almost 1000 sensors monitor how the 35 tonne spacecraft flexes and withstands the stress. The blue wires carry the data during the tests for later analysis.

Voskhod 1 descent module, 1964
The three cosmonauts' couches inside Voskhod were only fitted with difficulty, making the crew crane their necks to see the instrument panels. With no space for a means of escape to be fitted, a retrorocket slowed the spacecraft as it returned to Earth, enabling the cosmnauts to remain on board for the entire mission.

The "Y Module" was created in 1988 and published in "Modular Origami" a self-publication. The module, folded from square papers is based on the 60 degree geometry. When assembled, a "Y" band is form on the triangular faces of the model and a small pinwheel motif on all the corners.
3 of the 5 Platonic Solids can be assembled from this module. They are the Tetrahedron, the Octahedron and the Icosahedron. All of these polyhedra have triangular faces.
6 Modules, folded from 15cm square Kami are used to assemble the Tetrahedron.

Design for a stepper motor drive.
The stepper motor drive uses the TMC2100 modules from an old 3D printer (FlashForge Finder). I got this gift from a Fischertechnik forum member. The modules are controlled via a spi connection with my FPGA controller. The FPGA is connected to the Fischertechniek TXT Controller via an I2C line. The TMC2100 modules are in a fixed mode of the 3D printer, there is micro stepping used with 16 fine steps per step. Through the SPI connection I can send the ena, DIR, STEP, CFG0 and CFG4 pin. Because the modules are configured in 16 microsteps, the step pulses can be provided quite quickly. Therefore I controlled the SPI driver from a 4MHz clock so that only 13.5 usec is needed to scan all 24 inputs and outputs. This is much faster than the max step speed needed for the stepper.
The SPI goes to the FPGA chip. This is now programmed as a large I2C chip for the user. Besides this stepper driver there are also modules written for 16 motors, 72 inputs, 36 outputs, and 32 servo motors. All inputs can handle fairly fast pulses especially for quadrature encoders. The motors can run in 5 different modes and operate autonomously. The external I2C user only needs to send a few commands. Timing is no problem at all because the FPGA works much faster than the fastest micro controller. There are almost 1000 bytes of registers provided to support all functions. On the Fischertechnik side I have written a full lib to support all these functions. Through the Robopro software you can now write a program in a few minutes to the motors, servo steppers controls, reads inputs, status reads output line controls. I will give you more information about this later, but this data is so extensive that writing the manual takes a lot of time.

The top and left models are rejects. All folded from 9cm Square Kami.
For the top model, two 45 degrees mountain folds are added on the other end of each module to make a 9-pointed Star...I may make a better one...later.
This is my last version of the diagrams for the square cross module. Only the way to fold the module is a little bit different to my first version. Here I have also the opening of the wireframe module pocket (step 5), which is common for the polygon cross modules.
I think I can say, that it was Carmen Sprung, during my workshop at the Weimar convention, who call me attention to this perhaps easier way of folding.
I also add the diagrams for the two simple windmill variations.

Late in the day for the shot and also for this Hard Drive. I have 3 of them that have given up. I wonder if it is this module that's gone. Who knows? Who cares? It's going in the recycling bin once I've broken up the disc.

Orion is NASA’s next spacecraft for sending humans into space. ESA has designed and is overseeing the development of Orion’s service module, the part of the spacecraft that supplies air, electricity and propulsion.
The second mission with ESA's service module is Exploration Mission-2. This logo shows the Orion spacecraft exploring our Solar System, with the rear view highlighting the service module. The logo includes stylised depictions of Earth, the Moon and Mars – some of Orion’s destinations.
The border includes the abbreviation ESM for European Service Module. Between the distinctive solar wings on the right are the characters “fm-2”, denoting the second Flight Model for the spacecraft's second mission.

The day started sunny and calm, but by the time I had done my chores it was cloudy and windy so didn't go on my planned excursion to a waterfall.
Decided to have my first go at Camera School Module 3 indoors. As it was cloudy outside, it was even darker inside and it was impossible to get the degree of blurred water, yet showing a sense of movement, with the recommended CS settings. I found around 1/15-1/30 portrayed this best, but to achieve this a high ISO, coupled with a small F number was required. Another difficulty I had was with the large dynamic range between the dark sink/tiles, and the bright water and the need for a reflector which lightened the darker bits, but also blew the highlights. An ND filter was not required in these dull conditions.
I won't therefore be using any of these shots for homework, but put them up as my first venture into this module. On a bright day this setup might work and I might give it another go with different composition and crockery/containers.
This is an actual lunar module, one of 12 built for Project Apollo. It was meant to be used in low Earth orbit to test the techniques of separation, rendezvous, and docking with the command and service module. The second of two such test vehicles, its mission was cancelled because of the complete success of the first flight.
The lunar module had two stages. The descent (lower) stage was equipped with a rocket motor to slow the rate of descent to the lunar surface. It contained exploration equipment and remained on the Moon when the astronauts left. The ascent (upper) stage contained the crew compartment and a rocket motor to return the astronauts to the orbiting command module. After the crew entered the command module for the trip back to Earth, the lunar module was released and eventually crashed into the Moon.

The original video was too big for up loading here.
This 9,300-square-meter roundhouse was built between 1929 and 1931 by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company and became known as the John Street roundhouse. The roundhouse originally had stalls for 32 locomotives that were moved in and out of the structure on a massive 120-foot rotating turntable designed by the Canadian Bridge Company.
The Toronto Railway Historical Association is utilizing three stalls within the roundhouse and trackage added in Roundhouse Park to display locomotives and rolling stock, as well as display items pertaining to the artifacts.
The museum exposes outside, several locomotives and old cars on tracks serviced by the turntable.
Completed another module for the Labyrinth. By flipping a lever on the back of the module the floor pops up and the adventurers find themselves in the pit of vipers. More on the way.
Again, I apologize for the terrible quality of my phone camera. It's just so much more convenient for a quick picture.

View of ESA's European Service Module that is powering NASA's Orion spacecraft to the Moon and back for the Artemis I mission.
Cameras placed at the end of Orion’s four European-built solar array wings are recording the Artemis mission as engineers test the uncrewed Orion spacecraft’s capabilities, preparing for missions with astronauts to the Moon.
After its launch on November 16, Orion has circled the Moon on its 25-day Artemis I mission. Orion was launched by the NASA Space Launch System rocket at 7:47 CET (06:47 GMT) from launchpad 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA.
The European Service Module is powering Orion, providing propulsion, temperature control, electricity as well as storage and delivery for essential supplies such as fuel, water and air. The uncrewed mission to learn as much as possible about Orion and its European Service Module’s performance. The primary objectives are to demonstrate Orion’s heat shield on reentry, demonstrate operations and facilities during all mission phases, and retrieve the spacecraft after splashdown.
