Handheld CNC Router

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Cameron Chaney

Home: California, United States

I'm showcasing my DIY Handheld CNC Router project! It's a portable CNC router for precise 2D cuts on the go. Users move the router roughly along a pre-set path, while the bit adjusts to compensate for user error. Sensors detect the router’s position and orientation relative to the workpiece, then shift the cutting bit as needed. Unique to my design, positioning comes from optical flow sensors embedded inside the device – like those in computer mice. This simplifies its use and enables precise machining without prior setup. I've also implemented advanced control systems for stability and precision. While this started out as my Mechatronics capstone project, I am still developing the technology and hope to eventually bring open source Handheld CNC Router kits to the public.

Unleashing the Power of Shenzhen M5Stack

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: MASAKAZU TAKASU

Home: Hangcheng Avenue, Bao’an District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China iMakerBase, China

In this session, we will delve into the world of Shenzhen M5Stack, an ESP32 System-on-a-Chip (SoC) based all-in-one IoT prototyping tool. We believe that M5Stack is a game-changer for the DIY community, as it offers a versatile platform that enables rapid development and innovation. Throughout this talk, we will explore its open product development policy, the flourishing global community surrounding M5Stack, with a particular focus on its growth in Japan. Moreover, we aim to foster an interactive experience where we can collectively brainstorm and envision ways to enhance both the IoT prototype tool and the community itself. So, let's dive in! One of the key strengths of M5Stack is its open product development policy. The company actively encourages community participation in the design and improvement of their products. This open approach allows DIY engineers to contribute their ideas, feedback, and even develop their own modules that seamlessly integrate with the M5Stack platform. By involving the community, M5Stack ensures that their products cater to the specific needs and aspirations of DIY enthusiasts. Community Over Code, Community Over Product: M5Stack firmly believes in the mantra of 'Community over Code, Community over Product.' While the hardware and software aspects of M5Stack are important, the community is seen as the driving force behind the continuous evolution and improvement of the platform. By putting the community first, M5Stack has cultivated an environment where individuals can learn from each other, exchange ideas, and collectively push the boundaries of what is possible in IoT prototyping. Envisioning a Better IoT Prototype Tool and Community: During our session, we encourage participants to share their ideas on how M5Stack can be enhanced to address their specific needs. Are there any particular features or functionalities you would like to see? How can the platform better support your IoT projects? Additionally, we invite you to brainstorm strategies to foster an even stronger and more connected M5Stack community. What initiatives can we undertake to encourage collaboration, knowledge sharing, and skill development within the community?
