07:16 <esden[m]> More progress today 🙂

07:20 <esden[m]> Here is some more footage of the vibratory tube feeder. I added a second tube today so I don’t have to refill them as often.

07:22 <esden[m]> This one worked better 😉

08:05 <omnitechnomancer> is that a helpul tuning bolt?

11:43 <Attie[m]> 🥳 ... it triggered at 4AM, after ~3 hours of runtime

11:44 <Attie[m]> (it's previously run for 5+ hours)

11:45 <Attie[m]> esden: looking good! though at first the reflection and turning nozzle makes it look like it drops every part! 🙈

11:46 <Attie[m]> how precise does the end of the tube need to be, position wise?

11:46 <Attie[m]> a 3D printed jig to hold many tubes in place could be neat

11:47 <Attie[m]> they look "carefully positioned", but not held

12:00 <omnitechnomancer> Do I see clock stretching?

12:33 <Attie[m]> sadly that's unlikely, but yes it looks like that

12:33 <Attie[m]> this issue immediately disappears on reset

12:33 <Attie[m]> and the i2c peripheral is just raising interrupts non-stop... pretty sure theres some state flow issue in the Zephyr driver

12:38 <omnitechnomancer> oof

18:41 <esden[m]> Well spotted. I think I need to modify the resonance characteristics more than that. Probably some rubber object that can absorb some of the energy at the end of the tubes woud be better.

18:41 <esden[m]> Congrats! 🙂

18:43 <esden[cis]> <Attie[m]> "🥳 ... it triggered at 4AM, after..." <- Congrats! :)

18:43 <esden[cis]> <Attie[m]> "esden: looking good! though at..." <- Uhh... that is not a reflection unfortunately... it does indeed drop all the parts in the first video :(

18:44 <esden[cis]> This is why the vibratory feeders are so terrible... either the frequency is not right, or the part pressure is too big, or the parts get tangled... or or or or ... finicky is an understatement... :(

18:45 <esden[cis]> <Attie[m]> "a 3D printed jig to hold many..." <- Uhh... there are 3d printed jigs at the end of the tubes to hold the parts... this is how I got it to work at all...

18:45 <esden[cis]> (but natural PLA is not very easy to see)

19:17 <Attie[m]> ohh, very frustrating 😢

19:17 <Attie[m]> at least tubes are a little easier to refill than tape! 😀

19:18 <Attie[m]> and ohh yes - i see them now!
