I'm not just a few jumpers away from finishing, I have not written any of the firmware yet.
I failed, AGAIN. :(

Electronics, programming and mechanics. technically robotics, but I been off track a while :D
so, these valves could not do the switching the way I needed at pressure, I had to find something else. luckily, I had a valve from aliexpress that operates a double-acting pneumatic cylinder. It took some effort to get working, but is doing the job.
ooooh, the sacrifices I have to make to finish these projects on time hurt. I cant set up a high-capacity pneumatic circuit for the crushing part of the cycle :/ I will need to use these valves and I just get what I get.
next stage *plumbing*

an hour later, I have lids and top plates... :/
I need to get plumbing, electronics, and programming done.

ugh, thats 1.5 hours more progress, I think the simultaneous -design-and-build thing goes slowly, like with protoboard. I can etch a custom pcb faster. I'm not sure if it would go faster if I had the big CNC running, the iterative design would use a lot of material.

Its coming along, not sure if I have enough time or not, anyone want to take a crack at C control software? (no assurances I will use it tho ok?)

working hard to get the milk jug crusher done today, it will be tight. Here is the ram attached to the pneumatic cylinder. It didn't come together in real life exectly as I imagined, the angle iron is a bit too thin and its not 90 degrees.
