Today was a very unproductive one. Slept in, managed to do nothing till 2, then spend hours trying to work out why something had broken on my mouse - it was me, it was running 4 times slower because I put the line of code to tell it to run 4 times faster in the wrong place, that followed by a c# bottleneck - c#.net cannot handle 1mbit rs232 too well, its running fine at about 20% capacity, but between there and 50% capacity something goes very wrong. That lead to hours of no progress. And finally I though I may have broken one of my motors, the expensive ones, but it was fine, a bad connector, or maybe a break in the cable (think it was the former as after a lot of wiggling I cant detect a break). It must work - look at the graph bellow result.

Graph if step input to motor

The ‘rough’ steady state speed of this input is about 2m/s, mwhahaha, lets hope there is some torque at 0.3m/s otherwise testing will be interesting….

Got a bit behind in posting the photos… Here are a load from the past week, there are many more waiting for a little bit of a touchup in photoshop.

This is one I just finished playing with, its a shot of the Thames from my walkabout the other day. Again I am using cross processing techniques to get the great colour contrasts, although using a different method from last time, the colours are a bit more real, but still has that processed look (not always a bad thing, depends on the viewer). I like the ’suspense’ as to what is about to happen, and how the sky is so completely huge compared to the little duck in the corner!

I have titled it ‘The Cold Expectation’

A swan…

I made a new being - its got googly eyes and is drinking!
