Workshop updates

Blogeintrag (EN)

Before the next larger electronics project takes shape on my workbench, I needed a solid foundation first.

The Workshopboard is exactly that kind of small workshop module: simple at first glance, but incredibly useful in daily practice.
A stable base for the Arduino Mega 2560, a dedicated space for a mini breadboard — and thanks to the dovetail connectors, endlessly expandable.

Step by step, one board can grow into a complete modular system for clean prototyping right between tools, cables, and the everyday rhythm of the workshop.

Before continuing with the further development of my motion platform, I am first focusing on a smaller project: Get Started.

Get Started is a model of a 6-axis motion platform that can be assembled quickly using a small number of standard parts and 3D-printed components. Motion is provided by six low-cost 90 g servos, making the project well suited for initial experiments.

Control is handled by a simple Arduino sketch designed for an Arduino Mega 2560 R3. This same controller will later be used in the “full-scale” motion platform, allowing Get Started to serve both as an introduction and as preparation for the main project.

From now on, my workshop stories and build projects are also available in English – for everyone who enjoys hanging around the workbench, no matter where they’re from.
