1.Each module joined and then twisted from same the point at the same angle making each piece vary in shape and orientation due to their position in 3 dimensional space.
2.Each module was then reconstructed with the "rebuilt" function of rhino with a 1 degree curve (i.e straight) in both u and v directions, thus making the module a developable surface.
3. each piece is unfolded into a flat sheet for printing using the UnrollSrf command. (explode=no, labels= yes) Layout and array of the unfolded surface is still manually performed. Labelling is necessary for assembly.
I wish i had more hands to cut out and assemble the entire twisted system but one can only stay up for that long before sleep takes over ( hint hint I WANT A LASER PRINTER at home)
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.

Le Corbusier sviluppò il Modulor all'interno della lunga tradizione di Vitruvio, l'uomo vitruviano di Leonardo da Vinci, i lavori di Leon Battista Alberti, e altri tentativi di trovare proporzioni geometriche e matematiche relative al corpo umano e usare queste conoscenze per migliorare sia l'estetica che la funzionalità dell'architettura. Il sistema è basato sulle misure umane, la doppia unità, la sequenza di Fibonacci e la sezione aurea. Le Corbusier lo descriveva come "una gamma di misure armoniose per soddisfare la dimensione umana, applicabile universalmente all'architettura e alle cose meccaniche". Il modulor è anche utile per la rappresentazione della figura umana.

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.

creating a series of connected modules of different angles of twist from the same axis. The twist is only along the x-y parameter keeping the top and bottom section the same with similar spacing, demonstrating a twisted grid created with mass customization.
Twisted forms provide better solutions against eccentric and non uniform multi direction loads compared to the usually 3 dimensional x-y-z grid arranged buildings.
okay sorry for more tech stuff, i'm just writing all this out so i won't forget when the final presentation comes. gahhh

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.

Turns the trusty workhorse "283 into a useful strobist tool. The only downside is that since its just a potentiometer, there are no positive clicks for each setting, so you don't really know if that power level is what you're getting. But its pretty close. It also allows adjustment down to 1/64th power, better than the current 285 HV. "

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.

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.

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.

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.

5 Pentagon Modules are used to make the coaster. The modules are folded from 7.5cm squares of Japanese Foil-backed washi.
The coaster model is assembled without glue and has the same pattern for the front and back. 12 such coasters can be assembled to form a Dodecahedron. Altogether, 60 modules are required...later.
This model was created in 1990 and first published in Modular Origami [self-publication]. The model is also published in "The New Origami" by Steve & Megumi Biddle in 1993 and later in the British Origami Society Booklet #58.
