*Think of all the activities!*

2018-09-03 23:38:26 UTC  

i do, all the time

I did scoop up some blank PCBs

2018-09-03 23:41:10 UTC  

I'm going to get some Arduino Nanos to use with these, for when I have a good circuit/device I'd like to actually keep

2018-09-03 23:41:27 UTC  

What're you going to make?

2018-09-03 23:43:27 UTC  

I've been wanting to make some LED lighting for my PC case, I'm working on the RC tank. You can also make little synths with these things, and thats right up my alley

2018-09-03 23:44:32 UTC  

Also some small projects for around the house, for instance, i did a photoresistor to LED to have it only turn on when it gets dark, and I'd like to study more to see how I can use it to control the floodlights on the porch

2018-09-03 23:45:59 UTC  

also, longterm, plus, this wouldnt be mainly an arduino project, although the experience in wiring/voltages/etc will be helpful, but i want to make my own home security

2018-09-03 23:46:48 UTC  

I also want to make some LED lighting modules for my lego crap

2018-09-03 23:47:21 UTC  

So, once I get a little further in, i could easily go through quite a few little Nano boards

2018-09-03 23:47:35 UTC  

Sounds pretty neat

2018-09-03 23:47:55 UTC  

I should narrow my interests to something I can sell

2018-09-03 23:48:34 UTC  

or something that would help me get a job

2018-09-04 00:10:42 UTC  

Hell, I dont even have the drill bits I'd need for this DIY PCB project

2018-09-04 00:11:06 UTC  

specifically I don't yet have any drill bits in millemeters, only fractional inches <:GWfroggyFeelsBaguetteMan:398569671290257415>

*ECB

2018-09-04 00:27:50 UTC  

Wonder if the parts list, all told, cost any less than a Bugatti 🤣

2018-09-04 00:28:33 UTC  

You looked at the retail(regular size) Bugatti Chiron? I really wanna make a StuGIII in this style

2018-09-04 00:30:20 UTC  

for the 1:1 sized lego chiron, my first thought was, "how? technic chassis tend to be a bit flimsy/flexy"

2018-09-04 00:31:08 UTC  

It's an aluminum chassis, with real wheels, but everything else is lego

2018-09-04 00:31:10 UTC  

those trans-red liftarms tho

2018-09-04 00:31:33 UTC  

oh ffs, aluminum chassis

2018-09-04 00:31:58 UTC  

THATS CHEATING

2018-09-04 00:32:29 UTC  

they should have at least moulded aluminum technic beams instead

2018-09-04 00:34:02 UTC  

It's still 90% lego

2018-09-04 00:34:18 UTC  

and then how many pounds of metal

2018-09-04 00:34:32 UTC  

10% of a car is a lot of raw materials

2018-09-04 00:34:51 UTC  

Maybe... 400lbs of metal?

2018-09-04 00:35:04 UTC  

those flexible skin body panels though? gorgeous

2018-09-04 00:35:29 UTC  

400lbs. so to answer the question can you make a REAL car out of legos? Fuck no.

2018-09-04 00:36:00 UTC  

They used Technic motors

2018-09-04 00:36:06 UTC  

nice

2018-09-04 00:36:14 UTC  

And Lego BRAKES

2018-09-04 00:37:07 UTC  

now to be honest they would have got better performance by going with a 3rd-party motor solution made FOR legos, IE compatible with them. theres a few kits you can put in your lego RCs to make them faster

2018-09-04 00:38:11 UTC  

Technic 1:1 M4A1 when tho

2018-09-04 00:38:38 UTC  

that flexible skin design is perfect for the enormous problem of translating a curvy sherman to bricks

2018-09-04 00:39:07 UTC  

I can see a fully lego tank more possible than a lego car

2018-09-04 00:39:19 UTC  

why is that

2018-09-04 00:39:32 UTC  

Suspension is different
