Laser cut keys holder

Made this the other day. Simple and useful.

AtomMSSP

Coming soon..

What is it?

AtomMSSP is a I2C & SPI development tool. It’s basic use is to test I2C and SPI devices. Use it to dump eeproms, control shift registers and more. I’m developing a windows application but will post little manual on how to create ur own application or automate communication.

It’s basically a USB to UART to I2C/SPI & GPIO.I created a nice packet system for it and it’s pretty simple to use. You get some GPIOs to use and control of powering the external chip via the program. You can turn off or on the device basically. Also AtomMSSP has a 5V tollerant I2C port.Also has a built in I2C scanner function. What’s even better is it will lookup the devices in a json file I will include and give you more info in a automatically generated HTML file.

Might include 5v tolerant gpio and SPI.. just lots of work.Been working on this a couple weeks. It’s fun. Even working on a enclosure. Windows application designed in C#. All firmware is written in XC8. (Microchip) uses a PIC18F27J53 mcu with 12mhz clock + PLL to 48MHz.That’s all for now but expect an update in maybe a week. This will be for sale in the coming months on my Tindie store. I’ll be sure to post a link.Update: 6-29-19 7:28pmChanged from json to text file. This will allow any user to add devices with a simple text editor.

Converted the entire json I had to txt.

Update: changed the layout and flow a bit. Simpler to send full commands.

Laser fun

Just made a couple stamps from 2 different materials. Linoleum and some Clear plastic stuff. I’ll get the name soon…I need to cut a little deeper but good results.

Here are the results:

K40 Laser

Just got a new K40 Laser. Yes one of those Chinese lasers but I love it. Been wanting one for years and years.

So far it works beautifully. Got the bucket with water and fan on. No setup issues at all.

My only concern is the fan doesn’t sit perfectly .. like there is a 1/4 in gap on top. I might just seal that with a foam gasket or rubber. Not sure yet.

I might upgrade the fan and water pump also. Just for safety

Below are test shot video and a sample of what I made so far.

I plan to use this for a side business and to make customized enclosures for my PCB’s.

Some parts I own

Just want to put these here…

Magic

In an inventing mood.. got an idea but will take about a week or so to make.. dont even want to say what it is but expect something cool soon. Hint is in the title lol

Update 6-12-2019: I haven’t had time to play but this is still on my mind
