Introduction An AC motor is an electric motor that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy using alternating current. AC motors are widely used in various applications due to their simplicity, reliability, and efficiency. Main Components Stator: The stationary part of the motor. Contains the stator winding made of copper coils. When AC voltage is applied,… Continue reading AC Motor Construction
3D printing – Setting up Klipper – Install KIAUH script
📋 Prerequisites KIAUH is a script that assists you in installing Klipper on a Linux operating system that has already been flashed to your Raspberry Pi’s (or other SBC’s) SD card. As a result, you must ensure that you have a functional Linux system on hand. Raspberry Pi OS Lite (either 32bit or 64bit) is a recommended… Continue reading 3D printing – Setting up Klipper – Install KIAUH script

Data visualization using open3d
Open3D is a great library for 3D data visualization and processing, particularly useful for LiDAR data, point clouds, meshes, and other 3D geometry-related tasks. Point Cloud Visualization: The core concept in Open3D for visualizing 3D data is the PointCloud class, which represents a collection of points in 3D space. Below, I’ll explain how to visualize… Continue reading Data visualization using open3d
3D printing – Firmware.
Firmware is the link between software and hardware: It converts inputs from software to an output that computer hardware can understand. In 3D printing, that process happens whenever you send a G-code file from your slicing software to the 3D printer: The firmware “works out” the code and accordingly gives an output to the stepper motors, heaters, display,… Continue reading 3D printing – Firmware.
Using LiDAR Data for SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) with ESP32
For SLAM, LiDAR data needs to be collected with timestamped distance, angle, and position information. The ESP32 can log this data to an SD card for later processing in tools like ROS (Robot Operating System), MATLAB, or Python-based SLAM algorithms. Steps for SLAM Data Collection: Read LiDAR Data Get distance and angle information. Convert LiDAR… Continue reading Using LiDAR Data for SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) with ESP32
Rack and Pinion Mechanism
Rack and Pinion Mechanism Rack and pinion are a type of gear system that converts rotational motion into linear motion (or vice versa). It consists of two main components: Rack – A straight, toothed bar that provides linear movement. Pinion – A small, circular gear that engages with the rack to drive motion. When the… Continue reading Rack and Pinion Mechanism
Marlin Firmware for CNC Machines
Marlin is an open-source firmware used for controlling 3D printers, CNC machines, and laser engravers. It is one of the most popular firmware choices for FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printers, providing advanced features, smooth motion control, and broad hardware compatibility. Originally developed for the RepRap project, Marlin has evolved into a powerful firmware running… Continue reading Marlin Firmware for CNC Machines
