So I received a question on my blog, and on my Youtube Channel, "what pin do you hook up a motor to?" Short answer: you don't, not directly anyway, so watch the video and see how I do it, and check out the posting on my blog where you will find the schematic for the driver circuit and the very simple sketch to run it.

A cosmic game of chess, sort of, at least, that's how I am portraying things in this 3 - part video series. The moves which led up to Easter, and check. Part 3 (who knows when that will arrive) will describe mate - an event in the future. Please Subscribe to twist the algorithms.

We came up to Sydney, BC just for this show. It's been around a few years, but has really shrunk over time. But, still a fun little show to attend, lots of dealer tables. There was lots more, but in keeping with COPA, I had to excise a lot of content so I could say it wasn't made for kids, after all, where there are model trains, there are kids. The Victoria Model railway Club had its modular layout there. There was a Lego Layout in one of the side rooms. A British - themed switching layout, the dealer tables had lots of hidden gems. We bought a little bit of stuff from one dealer.

The big mystery make project, what is it, can you guess? Will it work when I'm finished? It's desktop sized, and fairly complex, in fact, it's the most complex thing I've tackled to date, and I'm worried about it. Building it involves Stepper motors, wires, gears, a microcontroller, computer interface, and lots of 3d printing and metalwork. This is a long one, so, give yourself some time.

I'm a time traveler, and so are you, but only in the sense that we move through a linear timeline which we cannot leave nor change speed or direction. What about time travel plot lines in TV and Movies? Do they work? Watch and see my opinion.

So there have been no techie/DIY videos from me for a while, and the last one revolved around installing software. Why no tech videos? Why no DIY videos? Watch and see!

The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis. As I review I also relate what Lewis wrote to what is going on in some events in modern society. Lewis had considerable foresight (or he was some kind of prophet) to what was coming in the world, and it is visible in many of his works, The Screwtape letters are no exception.

This is not really a subject I wanted, nor should have had to produce a video on. But, Error has (once again) cropped up in the Church, and unfortunately, it was Alistair Begg who stepped in it. The original comments were made in September 2023, and I won't repeat them in this video, others have already done so. But it if you want to see an eloquent and measured response, go to this link, it is Todd Friel at Wretched Radio and well worth the watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOqFRK2VyfM

Fencing, Fighting, Corsairs, monsters, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs. A short review of the J.R.R. Tolkin book, the Lord Of The Rings. A fantasy trilogy with no equal, other books suggested to me do not even come close. Tolkien produced a masterpiece and I decided to review it in brief, in-spite of it having been reviewed to death already. An excellent book.

A Book Review. The Band of Brothers, Easy Company - 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne. How can training and war pull a group of men together? Band of Brothers by Stephen E. Ambrose does an excellent job of showing you how, by using the memories of the men of E company, and historical records of WWII. HBO turned this into a mini series. This is a book I highly recommend.

What happens to a church when feminism moves in? You get sermons preaching that God is a liar. Is God a Liar? OF COURSE NOT! Addressing heresy and blasphemy in the church I play portions of two videos, which SHOULD make any believer sick to their stomach. I will address, with scripture, both pastors. The church in the western world (particularly in North America) is sick and in grave danger. Scriptures referenced: Galatians 1:6 - 9 Genesis 1:1 - 31 Genesis 2:1 - 25 Genesis 3:1 - 24 Numbers 23:19 I Samuel 15:29 Hebrews 6:17 - 18 Psalm 89:35 Gospel of John 8:44 II Peter 2:1 - 3 I Timothy 4:1 - 2

It's time for my usual Christmas video, but this is a little different than just a scripture reading or two (if you want a scripture reading, look to my previous videos) how did the pieces fall into place for the arrival on Earth, of the Messiah, the Son of God? Watch my little visualization which sticks in my head and helps me understand at least a little of the process. Some may see this as sacrilegious, you may agree or disagree.

By request from a comment on the Youtoob version of this video, here is how I downloaded and installed Universal GCode Sender (UGS) and Candle on both Linux (Mint) and Windows 10. For Linux only, it was necessary to compile Candle, as it wouldn't run otherwise. Calibration video is from James Dean Designs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGwUf8uNWBU&t=49s Download UGS (Both Linux and Windows): https://winder.github.io/ugs_website/ Candle (Both Linux and Windows): https://github.com/Denvi/Candle My original Unbox and build: https://rumble.com/v2lrcbk-genmitsu-3020-cnc-unboxing-and-build.html This is a long video.

So, I had a question posed to me: how accurate is the compass portion of the BN-880 module? Answer: I don't know. But let's try and find out.

Akaso V50 action cam, 4k capable, nice camera, but mine has an issue... Ghostly spots. What's up with these anyway? Watch and see.

Sainsmart Genmitsu 3020 CNC... The 3020 is supposed to be capable of cutting wood and softer metals (like brass and aluminum.) This video is the unboxing and build, plus I test the Universal Gcode Sender under Linux. Will it work? Watch to find out.

Unboxing my new Akaso V50 Pro action Cam. Been using my work cell phone, but decided to go this way, at least for a while. I may dive into the Salt Chuck with it this summer. I'll do a review after a few months of use.

How many woke folk can I offend in one short (less than five minute) video? Should be able to offend a few. This one is about Christmas. And I poke Marxists. Come on, say it with me: MERRY CHRISTMAS! Definitely not politically correct this time. ;)

This one may make people ... Uncomfortable. Maybe it will make some very angry. However, "The Church" is in deep trouble, certainly in the west. There will be "A Great Falling Away," according to II Thessalonians 2:3, but what does that mean? It's a falling away into the lake of fire, and many calling themselves Christians seem willing to dive into the deep end for a little swim in fire and brimstone, and it appears entire denominations are following. Are you heading into a swim with them? Check yourself. As the church falls, so does man, so follows society ... (Sorry for the long pause between videos, I got bitten by THE bug.)

BN-880 GPS Module - Part III - Tying It All Together Wrapping up the breadboarding of an Arduino Uno, A GLCD Module and a BN-880 GPS/Compass Module. Here's a link to the wiring diagram and the code for this project: https://cat-walker.blogspot.com/2022/06/beitian-bn-880-gps-and-compass-module.html

BN-880 GPS Module - Part II - GLCD Module Carrying on with the BN-880 GPS module. This time, prepping a GLCD module for use. Hee is a link to the code and the wiring diagram: https://cat-walker.blogspot.com/2022/06/beitian-bn-880-gps-module-part-ii-lets.html

Perelandra By C. S. Lewis - A Quick Review A New Eden A New Adam A New Eve The Same old Serpent, but in New Skin, up to the same old tricks. Will he win again, or lose this time? Perelandra was first published in 1943, and follows Cambridge scholar Elim Ransom's continuing interplanetary adventures. This is a follow - on to the review of Out Of The Silent Planet I released a month ago. That review can be found here: https://rumble.com/v13tnaj-out-of-the-silent-planet-c.-s.-lewis-reviewed-briefly.html

C. S. Lewis was not known for writing Science Fiction Stories, he is better known as a Christian Apologist. However, he wrote a trilogy known as "The Space Trilogy." This is my thoughts on Lewis and the first book in the series: Out Of The Silent Planet, first published in 1938. It is not allegorical, as the Narnia series is, but does contain his moral outlook, particularly where man and his foibles are concerned.

It's Good Friday, 2022, Greetings! Why do we remember this day? Shouldn't we try to forget it? NO! It is to be remembered because of what the Father and the Son did that day. But it was only the beginning... I include a reading from Mark 15.

Heathkit HD 1416 Code Practice Oscillator. I take a trip down memory lane, engage in a bit of nostalgia, and scratch-build an old CPO. Video was recorded almost three years ago now.The circuit description is a little oversimplified (not by much) and the circuit animations are also a little oversimplified (and a touch out of sync with the audio) but I wanted this off of my hard drive after almost three years.
