2023, August 13 — A Machiavellian Guide to PID-Tuning

Esteemed Leader, In the art of PID control, where precision orchestrates a symphony of equilibrium, a parallel emerges—a reflection of the calculated strategies that shape history. Just as you, my Liege, employ tactics to govern, a PID controller must manipulate its gains with finesse to navigate the system’s complexities. Allow me to be your unwavering guide…

2022, June 11 — A Matter of Pinion

Majestic how this golden eagle looks at a shaken tree in the scenery to estimate the wind, to then using all his tail feathers, all spread pinions and upwinds of the place to gain lift and render the fox cadaver like a worn out marionette

But, plenty of self-demonstration may also come at a price: …

2021, January 21 — Someone made a mechanical version of this site

Please have a sane new year 2021. While the title of this post is clickbait, I just wanted to reblog that someone made an actually working fully functional physical version of ~~this site~~ a linux terminal using an 1930 typewriter! That’s worth to postulate the grave impact this site has on the internet. Note however how easy it is…

2019, August 2 — Continuing the Saga:
On Delta Sails, The Atalanta Butterfly and Freak Waves

Delta Sails, The Tepukei Shape, Aerodynamics Nothing more beautiful flying over the seven seas in a nutshell. That is how the people of the Vaka Taumako Project must feel, when they “fly” (term for apropriate “sailing” using a delta sail) between the many islands of the polynesean ocean. At least how I imagine so listening to their…

2019, June 21 — DIY-Ornithopter RC-Flight

Just about one year ago i posted about the making of a Servo-Driven Ornithopter I finally found a way to create flying videos of this construction while still being able to use the remote control using this mount for handsfree smartphone videotry:

See a video of the bird in action

2018, December 31 — Year of the metal Tyranosaurio

Another less programming-related Post. I must admit, there haven’t been any yet, it is because code must be speaking by itself, and thus being a crazy good programmer, i exuberantly deleted all the code on my harddrive. During the time the deletion progress was taking I took the parts of a spare modular metal construction kit plus a photo of…

2018, June 17 — Making-Of DIY Servo-Driven Ornithopter

After watching several ornithopter videos and learning that using adequate servos it is possible to omit the construction of a gearbox I finally decided to once and for all make my own model.

The Delta Sail-Shape Observing ravens soaring in strong wind, I noticed that the pinion feathers were usually collapsed, stabilizing and protecting the wing (because…

2017, July 19 — Colemak Keyboard Layout in German

About QWERTY Though being the standard keyboard layout, it has been proven already in every of the numerous places where you can find information about alternative keyboard layouts that the QWERTY keyboard layout is deprecated for several reasons; thence I won’t explain those further in detail.
