  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here!

Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    Schematics and Circuit Board layout with Fusion 360

    Another work around that is a little more elegant is to order an "expansion" board. Again, you need to make sure it will fit the ESP 32 you are getting. Then just a matter of connecting the wires to the board and soldering them into the PCB in the appropriate place.

    Schematics and Circuit Board layout with Fusion 360

    You gotta be careful. There are many different versions of these boards, and the pin-outs and physical size vary depending on who is making them. The ESP 32C dev kit has a different pinout than the ESP 32U dev kit. They are NOT interchangeable. The type of USB port used is just one of the...

    Wild Honey Bee Swarm

    I'm a beekeeper. Glad they were gathered. Honey bees are not native to Canada, and they really need someone to manage them in our climate. It would be awesome to capture the "wild" hives at you place that have survived on their own. Awesome genetics I bet. It's is amazing how docile bees...

    Shoulder check

But once you knew them you could get around pretty easy. In that chaos there was no shoulder checks. You put on your...

    Headstock Bearing Races

    @Dabbler - I sent you a PM. (This is in case you don’t. Price the little flag)

    Headstock Bearing Races

    So a slide hammer was absolutely the way to go. The race wasn't that tight, so it only took some gentle "bumps" vs hammering to get them out. Little at a time and worked like a charm.

    A near miss and big consequences

    Take care. Glad to hear you dodged that bullet. Hopefully no other issues with this.
