All the modules for the new setup 2009 to capture insects in flight are now ready. Just a few software adjusts now.
N scale town module -- various kits
Background
There is quite a tale about this module. This module was completed in 2006 while I was staying temporary at my parents. It was done just in time for Christmas as a static holiday display (imagine the guests going gaga over it). It was before the age of facebook and flickr which explains why I've never bothered to take pictures then. For the next 5 years this module sat under dust cover (garbage bags to be precise) as I moved to my own house. It has been in the supposèd hobby room since.
I haven't taken it out to display or played with it until now that I have restored some ordered to my hobby room -- which you'd see as the unadorned backdrop in these photos. With some minor rearranging and fixing of the disturbances from the move, you are now seeing this module for the first time in 5 years after it was first displayed to an invitation-only crowd.
Not the Full Story
Believe it or not this series of photos doesn't tell the full story. For nearly the entire length of this module there is an underground station underneath the town complete with platforms and four electrified tracks -- by that I mean live catenary. This is accessible from the back of this module. Altogether six tracks passes through this module.
Moreover, I have installed lights for the buildings and this module does light up. Unfortunately my ignorance with electricity means that I've taken out too many bulbs. This drastically decreased the life of the Christmas lights. Eventually I'll have to take the lights out for replacement. *yikes*
Why Winter?
Like most modules this was built on top of styrofoam blocks. I didn't intend this to be a winter module when I started out. But as I was running out of time to finish, the quickest way to hide blemishes was simply dusting the whole thing with "snow". This turned out perfect for a winter holiday scene.
It's gonna be a nightmare to remove the snow and plaster should I decide to change it back to a summer scene.

A place to haul smaller boats ashore. Larger rocks are removed and logs laid down to protect the keel and the bottom of the boat. If anyone knows an english word for this structure please tell.

Devolution Module Tetrahedron test 6 units
I like the illusory sphere that is formed in this view within the tetrahedron.
I'm not sure exactly how this can be used, but I'm trying to find a may to work it into a woven wireframe. Regular edges units, which, in their centers, devolve into a mix of angles.
Designed by me.
Folded out of Cordenons' Stardream paper.
I built this module in about an hour to give a better idea how they might look. This one is far from 'finished,' but I think that it is a decent representation.

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.

Sjøhus, (sea houses, litterally translated) are industrial buildings from the times when boats were the only efficient way of transport. These cladded, timber frame buildings were used for all kinds of purposes connected to trade and fisheries on the Norwegian coast.
PCB for Cree led flash module. Inside the opening for the Mitutoyo 10X lens. The 12 power leds are not solderd but connected via 24 x M2 brass screws which press on the led contacts. I can even modify LED types with the same module. Soon there will be another picture where the LEDs are mounted.
The 12 LEDs are divided into 6 groups. Each time there are two LEDs connected together on the PCB. LEDs shine through the 12 holes of 8mm diameter each. Each group can be controlled separately. The direction and amount of light may be a result set.
Module 3 of a modular microscale Space Base on Mars. This is the Rovers Bay (seen here empty).

The Artemis I Orion spacecraft with its spacecraft adapter cone attached, is moved by crane along the high bay inside the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Aug. 20, 2020. This is one of the final major hardware operations the spacecraft will undergo during closeout processing prior to being integrated with the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket in preparation for the first Artemis mission. The spacecraft adapter cone connects the bottom portion of Orion’s service module to the top part of the rocket known as the interim cryogenic propulsion stage (ICPS). Orion will fly on the agency’s Artemis I mission – the first in a series of increasingly complex missions to the Moon that will ultimately lead to the exploration of Mars.
