All the modules for the new setup 2009 to capture insects in flight are now ready. Just a few software adjusts now.
I have decided to name the module as, "Cubo Modules" Initially I wanted to call it "Cuboctahedron Module" because the first model I assembled from these modules was the Cuboctahedron. It is a very long name. Therefore, I shorten it to Cubo.
The models in this photo are assembled from the same modules. 3 modules to form the Prism, 6 for the Cuboctahedron, 12 for the Rhombicuboctahedron and 30 modules for the Rhombicosidodecahedron.

The City Space theme continues to inspire. I wanted to use the curved quarter panels as a windscreen, and by excellent luck had the matching curve plate in sand blue. From then on it was just a matter of mixing the design cues and colour scheme from the sets with my build.
Rather pleased with this, looks chunky and industrial near-future. The crane, while functional, can't lift the module without ripping itself apart. Oh well.
Probably won't take any more pictures of the module itself either, it's just an empty shell that seems to be more like a double-decker carriage on a scenic train than a science module. Some more work on that will be required, I think. But that's a problem for another time. I already have an idea for a larger build that will incorporate four of these modules.

During a "Powering Exploration Mission-1" ceremony in the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building high bay at NASA's Kennedy Space Center on Nov. 16, 2018, Amy Marasia, Orion Crew Module assembly lead for Exploration Mission-1 (EM-1), explains the next steps in processing Orion and the European Service Module (ESM). The event was held to mark a major milestone, the arrival of the European Service Module for Orion's Exploration Mission-1. The service module, built by the European Space Agency, will supply the main propulsion system and power to the Orion spacecraft during EM-1, a mission to the Moon. The ESM also will house air and water for astronauts on future missions. EM-1 will be an uncrewed flight test that will provide a foundation for human deep space exploration to destinations beyond Earth orbit. EM-1 will be the first integrated test of NASA's Space Launch System, Orion and the ground systems at Kennedy. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett

Servo module, max 64 channels or 32 channels + 32 output leds as status line.
The servo motors are classified in 20 msec time slot. Each servo will have a time part of 2.5 msec, so 8 slots for a period of 20 msec. Each servo motor will have a max pwm pulse time of 2.5 msec. This results in a total of 64 units. If additional a status led are used, the number is limited to 32 servos+ 32 leds.
The upper picture shows a power plane for 16 servo motors. There are 2 separate power pins for the 5V servos. For now, I provide a 5V 4A power unit / power plane for 16 units.
This multiplexing greatly limits the number of I / O pins on the FPGA output side. Only 16 lines are needed for the 64 servos.

HO Scale - Free-Mo module built of two sections, representing the town of Stephentown, NY on the Rutland Railroad's Chatham "Corkscrew" Division.
A - Sheffield Milk Creamery (active 1914 - 1950)
B - E.B. Estes & Sons Storehouse (built before 1908)
C - E.R. Potter Feed Mill (built early 1900s)
D - Stephentown Depot Station (active 1870 to 1953, demolished 2011)
E - Vanderbilt Hotel (built 1871, possibly located on other side of the tracks, still researching. Current building at this location is listed as once being a "tavern", now a residential building.
F - E.R. Potter Lumber Shed (built early 1900s)
G - E.R. Potter Cole Bin (build early 1900s)
Other industries could include cattle and automobiles. At one time a cattle unloading station was located here, and in the 1930s, a Chevrolet dealership across the street from the team track unloaded cars via ramp at this location. Still researching exact locations of structures.

INTRO TO THECENTEROFTHENET.COM / LARGE 2400 + STUDENT PROJECT With approximately 650-2400 students, lacking funding and administration experience, I set up and administered a Nginx/Aegir based Octopus/Barracuda platform on an unmanaged VPS for development. Two full time college contracts granted access to students for research and development. Many Chinese teachers were reluctant to assign individual/group projects, lacking resources and technological ability. I created teams, leaders and online groups, known as “evogroups” at thecenterofthenet.com to address that. Different blending learning techniques where applied. Group questions populated a shared FAQ, leaders created support tickets for non-indexed questions, which would be later closed and then added to the FAQ.. Content was analyzed using Thomson Reuters semantic tagging and the Solaris Search module for future intelligent discovery, using what’s related type facets and metrics. All applicable metrics, liked, used, disliked, etc. would be recorded in “MyIQ”. Similar to Napster’s discovery model, where users accessed collections of similar listeners… Intelligent discovery connected users with similar Myiq’s.. Content wasn’t liked and forgotten in a single use cycle. 10 years ago, this was a rare strategy..
This was a complex system. I’m not a programmer; rather a task/form-follow-function orientated developer understanding principles and adapting code or script as needed. Creating a non-hardware version of OLPC targeting vocational, institutional, collaborative learning mixed user literacy environments and other dynamic scenarios was challenging. Targeting digital immigrants with various computer literacy levels in traditional Chinese classrooms, where universities today don’t allow laptops was difficult. Without prior teacher blogs, online lesson plans, etc. . Intensive student orientation was a prerequisite, allowing group and individual video research projects to then be assigned. Within the EMS, project and assignment management with collaboration tools & metrics allowed large classes to receive individualized attention. Additionally, I online final exams were also integrated, with dynamic questions, destroying cheating opportunity. Despite international 2018 EMS adoption, I'm unaware of previous and few modern Chinese schools with such integration.
Hosting abroad under censorship, utilizing domestic api’s was difficult. China blocked my server twice causing midterm server relocation. Drupal 6, under high user load, combined with the local network infrastructure was not scalable. A larger server and team was required to optimize database calls and more. Beyond my individual capability. With a working example, I created promotional Kickstarter campaign videos.
Using Audacity and PowerPoint, 100s of hours were invested in promotional videos. I had to pause development to care for my wife who developed health issues. This entire experience, researching and developing a large scale project would have been difficult in the US. These accomplishments are comparable with Khan Academy's initial work involving 70 Californian students. By the time my wife's health improved, there were significant php/drupal developments. Having no opportunity to update the project, I have instead migrated toward an offline independent Linux based S.E.L.M.S.

Guidance for LED flash module. 2 rails 250 mm length are used to move the led-flash module into the optimal position. Rails are silver steel axes 8 mm x 250mm. The holder contains internal nylon guides. As a result, the movement is smooth and vibration-free. There are two of these units used, one on each side. Later comes another detail how the container holding the LEDs. They must be able to be removed quickly. Hence this special construction.
