I worked very hard for many months to create the current 3D printed case for the MagicShifter and now it works quite well I have to say. It survives drops onto stone from 1.5m and protects the LEDs and the sensors from dust and splash water.
But t also has some drawbacks: You can't see the cute :) PCB design anymore and the status leds get dimmed by the case... So overflo had this brilliant idea to use shrink wrap as a minimal case for the shifters.
If you decide to use this kind of "case" you have to protect your shifter a little bit more than if you use the hard 3D printed case but it looks just awesome :)
This week a golf with a running problems presented for repair. The cause was traced to a broken wire on the MAP sensor. Seems some corrosion to the wire withing the plug compounded by a rather rigid connection and it broke. A new housing & connectors spliced to the loom fixed it and all within an hours work.
The sensor, a Honeywell SS495A1 ratiometric Hall-effect sensor, is glued to a small brass tab that is then bolted into the Brooxes Better Gear Guide. The sensor then plugs into the Pololu Robotics Micro Maestro controller and is sensed as an analog device.
Merged 3 images to see if any got missed. Something new was found on each one
Made for this article.
Line array sensor 512 pixels. For a new detetor to capture flying moths at night. Film is ready to make the PCBs. The aim is to build a tunnel with laser detection for flying moths at night.
The line sensor effective lenght is 64mm as detector. The exposure is done with a 650 nm laser line.

Here's some before and after shots of my project to clean my sensor. As you can see in the before, it was a flippin' mess. In the after (though dark, sorry dreary day) you can see the lack of dust.
I used a Giottos Rocket Blower, 3 #2 Sensor Swabs and Eclipse liquid from Photographic Solutions, Inc., and the Sensor Brush from Visible Dust.
BTW, #2 sensor swabs don't actually come into contact with the XT's sensor unless you use them vertically. The Sensor Brush does a great job, but you really gotta get it charged up with static. They should make one with fuzzy slippers and carpet.
Balluff's new liquid-based inclination sensors measure the deviation on a horizontal axis of up to 360°. With an extremely high accuracy of 0.1°C, a resolution of 0.01° and a temperature drift of just 0.01% /10K, they are the ideal choice for solar -thermal power plant and renewable energy applications that require angle measurement or constant rotary monitoring.
BSI inclination sensors feature a robust metal housing with an IP 67 enclosure rating that is easily installed into systems with limited space due to their compact housing size. With an expanded temperature range of -40°C to + 85°C, they are ideal for outdoor applications.

An ersatz version of nature; beautiful, yet a little bit deadly when one considers the natural resources required to create such impeccable imitations of vegetation. Is it also a reflection of human hubris... what else motivates the manufacturing of fake flowers? Why replace the ephemeral with plastic permanence? What joy is there in a whiff of a petroleum-based bouquet rather than the delicate scent of a rose? Secret Garden offers an opportunity to contemplate these questions at the same time it tries to seduce you with extravagant color and joyous birdsong performed just for you.
