Comment on Expo Sneak Peek: Not Just Some Mangy Coyote by Stephan J. Smith

Love the sculpture. Looks like a technique I’ve adopted for some of my pieces. I use a modified cloth mache that Dan (the Monster Man) Reeder uses for his art. Looks fantastic…keep it up!

I’m Meg & I attended your show at GMX & fell in love. I’ve started organizing a local group dedicated to providing a Steampunk Network here in Nashville & would very much like to somehow forge a type of partnership or Brotherhood if you will! What I’m hopefully trying to accomplish is make this Network a channeling of cosplayers, costumers, designers, tradesmen (And WOMEN!) and basically what have you here in Nashville that will be easily accessible to the general public. I’m also hoping to (eventually) get this group involved in local charity work. Basically I was motivated by seeing everything that you guys accomplished at GMX (and with Clocktease Burlesque) & was hoping that we could forge a mutually beneficial partnership & if we get our local following high enough (again this is in the future, but it doesn’t hurt to plan, eh?) I was hoping we could throw a massive Steampunk carnival with Apparition Abolishers & the Nashville Steampunk crew & even have booths set up & have a mini Steam con here. (We’re also looking into doing a Steampunk Burlesque and even just plain cosplay style calendar to sell for money to donate to local charities)

Grover Marland the Second looks like the perfect way to stop dogs relieving their steam residues on trees
Wonderful work!

Hi
Met you briefly yesterday at Dragon-Con. I am a world class illusionist/magician that now bases just east of Birmingham, Alabama.
My old website is davidrobinsonmagic.com
I have building an all new show for 2 years now and almost complete. I am doing a name change since I have the same name as a basketball player. My middle name is Verlin and I am changing the V to M and the new show will be “The Magic of David Merlin” Master Wizard.
I am looking to put together a touring show soon or even team up with other traveling acts.
David

Wish I could make it to see you speak, but I will probably be at work. I’m assuming this is during the day? Hope it goes well!

Comment on Arduino experimentation begins! by J. Steven York

J. Steven York — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 00:38:00 +0000

I recently picked up my first Arduino Uno with the idea of using to drive some animatronics projects (and maybe to do some robotics experimentation). It’s really a cool little system (and for the clarity of readers out there, works with Windows or Linux systems just as well as Macs).

You knew, by the way, that the Arduino can actually drive two hobby servos directly, without need of the motor board? As I understand it, the advantage of a motor/servo board is that they’ll often control more servos (the board can only directly drive two), handle more loads, and usually will have an on-board clock for increased precision and less “chatter.”

But if you only need to drive two servos and don’t need any of the other features, direct-drive is a nice (and cheap) option to have. I’m going to try my initial animatronics project directly at first, see how it goes, and then move to a controller board only if necessary.
