The full build video of the 64 drive modular floppymusic setup

Around 100w usually for:

  • ccr2004
  • crs309
  • old epyc 7601 server (about 60w, 8 HDDs with spindown, 5 ssds and a mcx311 10G)
  • homeassistant raspi separate from the main server
  • poe switch for phone and ap.

All connected to a UPS so measuring is easy and power usage is constant. I would prefer lower as power cost is very high but there is not really anything significant to save at the moment as the server board has no standby function and i need it most of the time.

Yeah probably. Seems like the image is not stored in its original form in this case but might depend on server settings and the image file. So as always private data like geo tags should be removed before uploading.

Uploaded this test image in the comment with modified metadata (no gps tag but added software, date, vendor info as exif tags) and after downloading it does not contain any metadata anymore. So seems like at least that server does remove it?

Similiar issues still here as well. I can not post to many other communities and subscribing often does not work.

For example i tried posting to [email protected] and the post does not show up on the remote instance but is present here. Commenting on other posts in that community also did not work.

Tried resubscribing and after that it is stuck at pending again. *Tried again a few times to resubscribe and it finally worked. After editing the original post again it was finally posted.

Same issue also with [email protected]. Subscribing does not work and posts are not updating.

Both remote instances seem to sometimes throw a 500 error and seem to be a bit unreliable. Possible that the states got out of sync and posts were refused and no other update is sent?

Retrying at different times seems to sometimes fix it but some are still stuck pending after trying for days.

Good tips. Thanks

 

To get more into espresso i finally got a used gaggia classic and upgraded it with a replacement controller running the open source gaggiuino project.

Fully with loadcell scales, pressure sensor, pid temperature control and a hand soldered all in one pcb.

You can also use standard arduino style modules for most components but the pcb makes it much more compact and reliable.

In this case the modifications are fully reversible in case a future owner wants to revert it back to stock.

Works great and automates a lot of steps to be more consistent. Now i just need to practice the manual parts of making espresso ;)

Note: this is not my project, i just documented the build process on my machine. Maybe it helps someone to get an overview what goes into such a conversion and inspires more users to attempt it.

The community is already pretty big and many also adapted the project for other machines.

*Seems like the post was synchronized only after editing multiple times

New posts seem to get synced now but the history is missing. Maybe an issue from when the instance was unavailable

That looks awesome. Really clean

 

A community dedicated for making music with hardware that was not meant to make music

[email protected]

Often done with floppy drives, hard disks and similar devices by modulating their motors and mechanical parts to produce certain notes.

You can also post and discuss other projects involving the same concept (modulating motors and mechanical components to make music).

Historically people have been creating programs to step floppy drives in specific speeds to make sounds for over 40 years so i would consider this the most influential way to demonstrate this concept.

Nowadays we have more capable hardware making this even simpler and more powerful and it can be a fun weekend project as well.

Since 2012 i am experimenting with this concept and built several setups over the years.

This playlist contains some bad, some better recordings of my setups.

In the last years i am not uploading new music covers anymore but instead am touring events like Maker Faires with a live version of the setup and working on a new 64 drive setup to revive the concept again and will post them to this playlist as well.

Note: i currently can't post video files as images here

Want to get into floppymusic?

There are several projects for arduinos that allow you to quickly get some music out of floppy drives.

This can be a fun weekend project if you got some drives around.

Sammy1am moppy (with java based pc application):

Moppy 2 and Moppy 1

Standalone arduino midi interface:

Ultrawipf/midifloppy

Floppy drive pinout:

Feel free to post and discuss non FDD music projects with the same concept here as well.

 

2204 drone motor from the video:

Beefy 6374 with ODrive S1:

That one is actually strong for its size. Stronger than any Logitech ;)

Had a guy in our discord make a similar one even with tiny pedals.

Might add a tiny screen and tiny pedals as well for a full tiny simrig

That must be awesome with that much range of motion

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That looks pretty cool. And yes images can be attached in comments and embedded with markdown. At least via the message interface.

If its a simulator of some kind sure

While most communities seem to work for example [email protected] is still not reachable from here. Only 4 posts are synced and subscribe pending status for multiple days. Tried to resubscribe a few times but no change yet.

Might be because it has a lot of posts and lemmy.ml still has some federation issues but some of their communities are working correctly but several of them i am not able to subscribe to.

 

Firmware for building custom simracing pedals with calibration options and support for loadcells.

This project is also compatible with simforge pedals and can be used as a replacement interface for different commercial pedals as well.

 

This community is dedicated to DIY projects involving simulator hardware with focus on simracing at the moment.

Flight simulators and related projects or discussions about building simulator hardware are also welcome.

Post your DIY steering wheels, pedals, cockpits and similar projects.

Lets see if there is demand for this topic.

Let me start an example with one of my wheelbases:

 

This community is about all kinds of DIY simulator hardware with focus on simracing.

While i am the developer of the Open FFBoard project every kind of other DIY simulator project is welcome here too.

Post your DIY steering wheels, motion systems, pedals or even full cockpits
