Know How... 246: AquaVase Top Assembly

Wed, 21 Sep 2016 17:25:25 PDT

We've been modifying and perfecting the AquaVase project, and in this episode we go over the details of the skirt top assembly.

Project Overview

We're going to create the assembly that goes on the top of the vase and holds it to the risers, then assemble the entire project.

Parts List

3D Printed Parts
Silicone Sealant
Airpump/Stone
Aluminum Square Tube

Tools List

3D Printer
Clamps

Segment Summary

We're designing the three parts that will become the top assembly of our Aquavase

Interesting Design Features of the AquaVase Top Assembly

The Cap and the Shelf will be joined by silicone sealant
The Skirt will cover the gap between the Cap and the Shelf, and join the assembly to the risers

Procedure:

The Cap

Import "a1_aquavase_cap_shell.stl"
Import "a2_aquavase_cap_MidSupport.stl"
Import "a3_aquavase_cap_supportspars.stl"
Import "a4_aquavase_cap_MainVoid.stl"
Use "Inspector" to turn a4 into "Hole"
Import "a5_aquavase_cap_airvoid.stl"
Use "Inspector" to turn a5 into "Hole"
Move a5 50mm to the left (Use 'Shift + Left Arrow' x 5)
Move a5 20mm up (Use 'Shift + Up Arrow' x 2)

The Shelf

Import "b1_aquavase_shelf_shell.stl"
Import "b2_aquavase_shelf_MainVoid.stl"
Use "Inspector" to turn b2 into a "Hole"
Import "b3_aquavase_shelf_airvoid.stl"
Use "Inspector" to turn b3 into a "Hole"
Move b3 50mm to the left (Use 'Shift + Left Arrow' x 5)
Move b3 20mm up (Use 'Shift + Up Arrow' x 2)

The Skirt

Import "c1_aquavase_skirt.stl"
Import "c2_aquavase_skirt_Void.stl"
Use "Inspector" to turn c2 into "Hole"

Raise c5 by 3mm

All STL Files can be found at: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9042212/KH243_AquaVase_TopAssembly.zip

Segment Summary

Let's put together the top assembly and start integrating it with the other Aquavase components.

Top Assembly Procedure:

Add a thin layer of silicone sealant to the mating surfaces of the cap and shelf
Line up the airholes of the cap and shelf
Slide the skirt over the gap between the cap and shelf to align them
Using the clamps, seal the cap to the shelf and the skirt (The excess silicone should squeeze out between the cap and shelf.)
Let the assembly sit for an hour.

Electronics Integration:

Solder lenghts of silicone wire to the power leads of the base and LED array
Solder Connectors to each of the component that require power

The base (Arduino)
The Grow Lights
The Full Spectrum lights

System Integration:

Run the air tubing though the air hole in the Top Assembly
Attach an air stone to the side of the tubing that is under the cap
Attach the other side of the tubing to the air pump
Add the alumium risers to the base
Insert the vase into the base
Slide the skirt down the risers and over the vase
Slide the LED assemble over the risers.

FLOSS Weekly 403: Atomic Host

Tue, 13 Sep 2016 11:33:59 PDT

Project Atomic is an umbrella for many projects related to re-designing the operating system around principles of immutable infrastructure, using the LDK (Linux, Docker, Kubernetes) stack. Many of the components of Project Atomic are upstream components of OpenShift Origin v3. The primary building block of Project Atomic is the Atomic Host, a lightweight container OS which implements these ideas. Atomic Hosts are immutable since each is imaged from an upstream repository, supporting mass deployment. Applications run in containers. Atomic Host versions based on CentOS and Fedora are available, and there is also a downstream enterprise version in Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Tech News Today 1593: Dongle in the Box

Wed, 07 Sep 2016 18:16:39 PDT

The big story today was the new iPhone. It's officially called the iPhone 7, and of course there's a larger version called the iPhone 7 Plus. Everyone's talking about the loss of the headphone jack and the fancy new camera. Apple has decided to go the non-traditional route by removing the jack entirely in a move Apple Senior VP Phil Schiller called "courageous." The camera is the real reason that Apple thinks you'll forget that there's no headphone jack. As we surmised, the new iPhone has a dual camera set-up. Now, both versions have image stabilization (before it was just the Plus), both will have a wider lens to let in more light, true tone flash, and an image signal processor. And for your selfies, there's a 7 megapixel FaceTime HD camera. If you're willing to shell out for the iPhone 7 plus, you'll get two cameras with two lenses, 2x optical zoom, and 10x digital zoom. While Apple was soaking up all the attention at its event, Sony fired off its own PlayStation focused event. Also, Dell and EMC form a merger bromance.

Know How... 242: AquaVase, Part 2

Wed, 07 Sep 2016 16:32:35 PDT

We finish part II of our hydroponic vase using LEDs and a 3D printed stand.

Project Overview

We're adding decorative LED lights to our AquaVase Parts List

These parts aren't necessary for the operation of HydroVase, but they ARE cool and geeky! :)

WS2812 SMD Strips
Arduino
Voltage Regulator
26-30 AWG Silicone Wire
Heat Shrink Tubing

Tools List

3D Printer
Soldering Kit
Hot Glue Gun
Screwdrivers
Pliers

All of the STL files can be found at: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9042212/KH242_AquaVase_Base.zip

Segment Summary

We're designing a 3D object that can hold our 5" Vase and the electronics to illuminate the bottom.

Interesting Design Features of the AquaVase_Base

The bottom panel is 2MM thick and the shell is between 2-3mm
The stands for the aluminum square tubes are 2-3mm thick and are supported by the bottom panel & their connection to the lower vase ring
There are curved buildouts on either side of the lower vase ring that will hold the WS2812 LEDs
There is a port towards the read of the base for providing power to the Arduino and WS2812s

Shell_A

Import a1_Hollow_BottomShell.stl
Use the "Inspector" to turn the a1 into a "Hole"
Import a2_Solid_BottomShell.stl
Import a3_UpperVaseSupportRing.stl
Import a4_VaseHollow.stl
Use the "Inspector" to turn a4 into a "Hole"
Export as "Shell A"

Delete All Objects from the Build Platform

Import b1_BottomShell_Platform.stl
Import b2_Base_Hole.stl (Turn it into a "Hole")
Import b3_VaseSupportRing.stl
Import b4_RiserHollow.stl
Raise b4 by 2mm
Use the "Inspector" to turn b4 into a "Hole"

Integration

Import "Shell_A"
Export Base

Integration - Part II (Base)

Procedure

Cut your LED strips to match the LED holders in the Base Frame
Measure/Cut/Strip/Tin your wires to connect the LED strips to the Arduino controller
Solder your strips to the controller
- Pin 3 to Strip 1 DIN
- Strip 1 DOUT to Strip 2 DIN
- GND to Strip 1 GND
- Strip 1 GND to Strip 2 GND
- 5V to Strip 1 VIN
- Strip 1 VIN to Strip 2 VIN
Solder the Voltage Regulator to the Arduino
- 5V to VIN
- GND to GND
Load code to Arduino
Attach LED Strips to LED Supports
Run power out the access port
Connect all power leads to the 4 channel Remote
- Cut one of the power wired to the pump and run it through Channel A (A-B)
- 12 Volt GND to the GND leads of the Remote, Grow LEDs, Full Spectrum LEDs, and Arduino VoltReg
- 5V Power to Remote, Chan B-B, Chan C-B, Chan D-B
- Arduino 5V to Chan B-A
- Grow LED 5V to Chan C-A
- Full Spectrum LED 5V to Chan D-A
