I would love to see a construction thread.
Model 14 Version 1 ---> First vapor @ 11:00 PM
Well, after two days of doing what felt like bit-fiddling, but with hardware instead of software, i got this model screwed together. A continuity test indicated (nothing is ever proved until power on) the heat shield wasn't shorting out the battery connections. So, i thought what the hell, and i soldered on the Deans connector and plugged this kitty into the battery pack.
And, Ta Da! Here is the Perfect Cube running in the light ...
And here is the PC being subtle in just the glow of its LEDs ...
And, yeah, the blue LED really is that bright ... drat! both the green and blue are too bright (camera must be super sensitive to blue) ... only need about 1/4 that amount of light output. i'll try a bigger current limiting resistor tomorrow -- maybe kick it up to 1K ohm from 220 ohm just to see. i might also scuff the ends of the light pipe. Lots of things to try.
But at least for one session -- the FIRST session -- The Perfect Cube produced the vapors and didn't melt.
Progress!
A 2" x 2" x 2" cube (this one is cherry), the Bud Toaster is a battery powered, all glass air-path vaporizer with computer temperature control. Maybe i'll finally get around to posting a construction thread for this vaporizer. If anyone is interested. Code for the temperature control processor is in a public folder on my skydrive. If anyone is interested. The hardware and software design is open source.
