LinuxCNC HelloWorld
Переглядів 6189 років тому
As is tradition, here's the LinuxCNC "HelloWorld" example. Here it doesn't have a milling head attached but rather a marker pen loosely rubber-banded to the head. Like this it is an over-engineered plotter. :) Off-the-cuff build design as proof-of-concept. Now that I can see that I can get the s/w, electronics & h/w going I'll probably rebuild using one of the more solid frames out there (Ox?) ...
Steam Locomotive / Train Ride at Motat
Переглядів 1,3 тис.11 років тому
13 Jan 2013 MOTAT, Western Springs, Auckland, Regularly (not sure when) at MOTAT they have the Steam Engine rides within MOTAT museum. The train is at the airfield which is a short tram ride from the museum. Both tram & train rides are included in the museum ticket price. The train terminates at a vintage railway station which feels like it's set around war time (which one, I don't know :). I w...
Proximity Door Stuffed, Beeping Constantly. Quick Hack / Fix.

Our door-closed sensor is broken causing the door to beep incessantly. Obviously this annoyed everyone on the floor. Swiping your proximity card paused the noise for a minute. Here's a quick fix for the noise*. [*] I sit next to said door so no security was compromised during the making of this video. :)

I only venture through 30% of the building, I didn't feel comfortable without backup. :) Some people say that it's haunted but they're just being dicks. It's an amazing building in need of a protector and rescue. We don't have too many heritage buildings l...

Apollo 13 Pinball Demonstration
Переглядів 18 тис.14 років тому
This is an Apollo 13 Pinball demo. It shows some of what the Apollo 13 pinball does. It doesn't cover a lot of stuff like looping, most missions, inside the machine. Still, it will give you an idea of what an Apollo 13 pinball looks and behaves like. This video was created as there didn't appear to be a video out there that described the Apollo 13. I hope it is of use to you... Kind regards... ...

Hi all. This is a video of how to make your own sling protectors. You can make any plastic / protector you like, in this video I also create a protector for the "boat" that _always_ gets destroyed on Fish Tales. The plastic I use is Polycarbonate which is also called Lexan. It comes in sheets of various thickness, what I'm using is slightly less than 2mm (about 1/12 inch). I would recommend sli...
Pinball Repair Side Art Redecal Demonstration

How I redecal Pinball machines. The first time I attempted redecalling I was super nervous as I didn't want to screw up my pinball or the expensive decals. I thought of all sorts of ways to apply the decals without stuffing the application up. As I redecal by myself this is the way that I devised to do it; it works for me and I am happy to always do it this way. Note: Apply the front decal firs...

Thanks for this, about to do mine, any reason I shouldn’t install on top of original decals?
BTW thanks for this video man. I re- decaled my Fish Tales a few years ago with this as my guide! Came out excellent!
Amazed you did not prime prior to applying the decals. I thought one had to. Also, no filling and sanding of any cabinet imperfections.
Does anyone know the exact model of this as I’m trying to find some information on the electrical side of them all I can find is just mechanical types!
I wish I had 13 balls.

Very Nice Pinball Dw
Hi just wanted to ask if you now how to test out my hopper it is the same one as your one I am not sure how to test it as it is not paying out thank you
Where and what kind, can I get the plastic?
Great video. I have one of these and when I forgot the combo the locksmith had to drill it out. His technique was to try the common combinations - each corner, lines of numbers etc etc. He gave up and drilled it. It's easy to touch all of the buttons to make it harder to use the UV marker technique. I got a digital lock (ie electronic)_ with a key but it turns out even with my novice lock picking skills I can single pin pick it (not rake it though). So I think I'll stick with this one.
Also - why can I thumbs up my own comment? Seems a bit narcissistic.
Awesome video!
Guessing the combo would still take longer than picking the lock which a professional can do VERY easily (or any locksmith) or ANYONE with ANY decent tool. So this still wins.
me encanta
I think my phone's volume is messed up i will need to take it to the repair shop ☹
yes, thats pretty eye catcher info..but, if the user is not in a hurry, and smart, press all those numbers before pressing the right ones..that will leave markings on all. then the would be intruder will think to resort in a different ways. anyway this kind of locks are not considered "HIGH SECURITY LOCKS" it will serve its purpose as "CONVENIENT SAKE" type.
nice job those had to be printed on orajet paper because I didnt see ya get any bubbles
BULLSHIT THOSE CODES NO WHERE NEAR MY CODE!
Where is this? What is the address?
Bella Austin 84 Richmond rd Grey Lynn Take you for a tour
Hideous card symbols. Is that what pokeys look like these days? Bring back the PROPER card symbols. And a hopper payout! Ye Gods!
Back in my day we used to saw and sand our plastic protectors! None of this laser cut, fancy ass just buy and install crap! LOL
Hi. How does the handle actually spin the wheels, is each wheel spring loaded? I know each wheel spins independently if so, then how does each wheel spin with its associated payout disk at same speed to get a winning line and activate payout fingers? Thanks in advance.
Well I wasnt expecting to come across this vid, but I did and I watched it..... Im in two minds though: I just brought one of these locks and it does feel more secure, but I guess I didnt realise just how easy it is to past it. BUT - at the end of the day, a determined intruder will find any means to get into any lock (just scroll down and read the comments left by Kyleene Galloway). I got this lock put on my side gates inbetween my home and my neighbours because I dont like having loads of keys: its located chest high so that no one behind me can see, so as much as this vid has made me more self aware, I also choose not to live my life in fear
Does anyone know how to disable the 'permanently open' switch at the inside face of this lock? Is the process tedious or we just have to remove one side of the lock to do it?
What's the history behind the green livery and the carriages?
Can You put up a tutorial for this?
what s that color light?
can you wipe off the marker with alcohol.
can the marker be wiped off with alcohol. i have changed the code and someone is still coming into my house. They take things I usecevertday. Sunday ghey took my hand mirror out of the bathroom and the pads to my ocedar mop. I have spent a fortune on locks and security systems and evetytime they can come in anyway. Lockey was my last lock without success. I got frontpoint security and the very first time I left my home they were in and out without a problem. I've gotten spy cameras they either take the camera or the sd card. I bought a device to help me locate spy equipment in my home but they took the battery out of it while I was still learning to use it. They came back and took the device. There doesn't appear anyway to keep whoever it is out. At least now I see how they have let temselves back in to my home.
your best bet is hire a physical presence in or outside the property when you leave so there is always someone there on lookout. failing that buy a hidden camera like a wall clock/desk lamp that has in built camera rather than the small box type, you can even get a lightbulb spy camera. my best solution i can think of is build a trap door in the floor to your front and back door, long and wide enough that its impossible to avoid, deep enough so they cant jump out, and hidden ladder for yourself if you forget to disarm it. make sure it can be armed/disarmed so you can walk over it safely and that it blocks phone signals - then as its an air tight space ensure release of petrol, the fumes will render them unconcious long enough for you to arrive and discover them another good way is padbolt your front door from the inside and leave round the back so thief cant access the locks keyway and even barricade the front door from the inside with something heavy so they cant physically get in either way. setup a perimeter alarm , basically an invisible laser that when broken, sends you a text to your phone that someone is there and you have a friend lookout from outside your house in their car for example to snare the thief on there way out and setup your cameras outside your house so you can get a good visual of what the perpatrator looks like, send that to police you must think outside the realm of just locks and go commando when its a repeat offender. one commodity thieves don't have is time so you need to act fast asap
Thanks for the advice... It would be more useful if you shared a more secure alternative
Do you still have the slot machine? If so, any chance you could take a photo of the wiring on the back of the hopper on the plug and the socket.
Sorry Scotty, sold it. Cheers... Clark
@@Clark-Mills hello I have aquired one of these and am unsure on what to sell it for. Can you please give me advice on what I should list ot for?
Hi Mary scott I have a machine the same as this do you still have yours I’m trying to get mine working too! maybe we share some information we have 👌🏻
why has this not been reopened for the homeless in auckland??!
Amazing job bro!! Thanks!
Very nice of you to do this
Good work, but don't be shy. A voice narration is always welcomed, as I can lay my eyes else where while just listening to your voice.
awesome video, great camera angles
mate this is an awesome video, thanks for sharing. i'm gonna go look for anything else you may have uploaded now, i hope there's lots as this was full of excellent little details
How much is a?
+Thuan Nguyen Duc You can get one of those markers with the us light on the lid, like the purple marker he showed in the video, for less than a dollar from china.
Why is so slow? Or is it taken slow motion?
Michel Meindre Hi Michel. That seems to be the default speed that the "hello world" Linux CNC file runs at without any reconfiguration. The default gcode file assumes it has a router/dremel mounted and has its feed rate set as such. Yup, for a pen the feed rate obviously should be up'd. :) Cheers... Clark
It seems like simple protocol to enter your code then press any number of other buttons after you unlock it to keep fingerprint tracking impossible. With that, a person doesn't stand much chance of figuring out the code- even if you only ever press 1 extra button each time. Still easier than a key. For the lock shown, there are 14 buttons. If you only use 4 numbers (why?), you still get 1001 possible combinations. Use 5 and get 2002 possibilities. Better yet, use 6 and get 3003. Let's just say our lock gives us only 5 tumblers for the code. That means a person has a 1 in 2002 attempts chance of getting it right. If they have every possibility with them and attempt the code every 10 seconds, it could take over 5 hours to get it. THAT IS IF THEY GUESSED THE CORRECT TOTAL NUMBER OF BUTTONS REQUIRED IN THE CODE IN THE CODE!
True. Habit of pressing the extra buttons would need to be practiced, like the habit of making sure you grabbed keys on the way out the door.
just wipe all the buttons with your hand
It's the kind of thing you only do if you know your security is under attack, and are aware of that means of attack.
Counters reveal that payout rate is around 86.9% (coins in to coins out). What amazes me is that this mechanisms processed almost 7 millions coins and still work! Do they get rebuidlds over time? I believe that processing that amount of coins, sometimes dirty, sometimes damaged, handled one by one may wear out mechanisms that must be precise enough to catch any counterfeit ones and keep accepting good ones.
mibars Hi there. The thing initially needed tuning; from memory bending the bars in the top of the machine slightly. The mechanisim also was soaked in oil which no doubt helped it survive the decades. When I had it it didn't get much use but was also in fairly good nick; any *real* servicing was done prior to my ownership. Nice to know it had a productive life! :) Interestingly, if this machine is out of tune it will fail in the players favour; good incentive for the owners to keep them tuned no doubt. ;) Cheers... Clark
Hi, thanks for answer!
What type of wood putty did you use to fill imperfections? Great job by the way.
Hi Eddie. "Builders Bog" is what we call it in NZ, it's an epoxy/plastic wood filler similar to what you use for panelbeating. Its a tin of smelly goo with a tube of hardener; a 2 component mixture that's pinkish and sets in ~10 minutes and is workable like wood for up to an hour. Don't use "normal" linseed putty, that could stain, take forever to dry and dissuade decal adhesion. HTH... Cheers... Clark
ClarkMills Oh I see this is similar to what we use in the states called Bondo. It's mainly use on automotive repairs but can also be used on wood. It's a mixture that also uses a hardener. I was hoping to find an alternative as this stuff is pretty smelly but I guess it's the way to go. I"ll be working on a Indiana Jones soon. Thanks for your reply.
You made that look way to easy...Great job!!!!!!!!!!!
They should do a more updated table for the modern version of the series for, "Pinball FX." I'd buy it in a second!
+actorben Actually, FarSight Studious is Kickstarting the original 1992 table for The Pinball Arcade, and they just revealed if it succeeds they'll do a modern version of the table as well with the newer Doctors (new art, new sound, new toys, etc).
Hi.. where can i find all outside stickers for Fish Tales pinball? Great work.. ! :)
Hi there. Several places but a quick look at bayareaamusements.com, search for fish tales gives this: bayareaamusements.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=GS-FT99NG Cheers... Clark
It would be more awesome if Stern made their own version on Dr. Who. It could feature Doctors 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 (sort of like leaving off from the original pin).
A tip: you can watch movies at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies these days.
@Erick Manuel yup, I've been using flixzone for since november myself =)
I played the machine for the first time a few days ago at Coast City Comics, Portland, Maine. Love the sounds, too bad the recording just doesn't do it justice. The multiball mechanics with the rising platform is really cool too. "Ex-term-inate, the Doctor"
awesome
Great video, the best part is the excellent narration. Huh? Oh that's right, there is NO narration.
Trust me, I am doing you a favour... ;) Yep I prefer narration too in the videos I watch so I do know exactly what you mean; narration can add a dimension of interest and you can always mute me. :)
