You might want to consider how hot the Pi gets too. Warning: this will hammer your SD card, be sure you have backed it up first, and you’ve bought a decent one. However thats not enough, you need to enable a temporary swap partition. User raspi-config to limit GPU memory down to 16 megs. You need to make sure you have as much ram as possible, otherwise you’ll hit the dreaded Out Of Memory Killer(OOM Killer). The first thing to do is make sure you download the right pocketSpinx(the docs now give a link). I’m using raspbian, which means that I need to compile jasper from scratch. Under that the Pi camera module with LEDs, and finally the USB power Speakers. Under that is the Raspberry pi with prototype hat. At the very top is a Teensy, which controls the two Neopixels either side of the camera. Its almost like I spent months designing it. (don’t do it the other way round.)Įverything is fitting nicely.

Now that you have painted everything, you can now install the electronics. * if no wood shows through, proceed to step 6, else go back to 1ĩ. * Make sure you don’t accidentally sand the wood underneath. Lightly sand with fine sandpaper (90-130).The technique that I have figured out (and should have listened to those that know) is: I was fearful of brush marks, so assumed that spray primer would be superior. The second mistake was using spray primer. The first mistake was to attempt to sand the MDF to make sure the spray primer stuck.

Mainly because it was full of terrible mistakes. I don’t have that many pictures of the painting. You can see the supports used to make sure the face plate doesn’t disappear inside the box. This meant that everything turned out flush. To get a decent build, I clamped the box shut when I glued it. Then its glueing time:īecause even MDF is a “natural” medium, it warps and bends. Once the box had come back from the cutters, I checked to see if everything fitted (it did). It also is impossible for someone like me to do by hand. This allows more surface area for the glue to stick to.

To make sure I had a nice solid build, I created dove joints. I know Illustrator fairly well, and I trust its ruler system. svg, with more advanced people also accepting.

The key thing is to find a piece of software that you are familiar with. Obviously I’ll need a raspberry pi to run everything, so I needed to find out the correct mounting holes for both the camera and the motherboard. From there I could work out what compartment would be needed.īecause I only had one known size (the lens), getting the size for everything else was pretty simple. I found a mockup of HAL which was good enough to get size ratios right. I have a notebook that contains all my decent ideas from the last year or so. Taking a deep look at the adaptor, I remembered that the original HAL console was based around a nikkor 8mm lens ( gratuitus lens pics here) I’d been looking for an excuse to try laser cutting stuff, and this seemed like the perfect answer. I’d also been listening to the film programme‘s show marking an anniversary of space 2001. I had been clearing out one of my cupboards and came across it after many years. The core of this build is the Velbon wide angle adaptor. This is a brief overview of how I made HAL9000, the raspberrypi powered Jasper bot
