I have amassed quite a collection of Meccano over the past few years, as I loved playing with it as a kid in the 60's - it comes in handy at times.

2020-11-24 17:06:19 +0000 UTCThe motor itself looks good! I've got a replacement drive chip so I'll try that next, thanks 🙂
2020-11-22 14:04:29 +0000 UTCI've just recorded a video about that. They're very cheap to buy on eBay.

2020-11-22 10:40:42 +0000 UTCI had lego and metal meccano to play with. The meccano was my dad's though, and he didn't like others playing with it.

2020-11-22 10:40:05 +0000 UTCHave you got a different stepper motor to try? Prime suspects are often the motor drive chip, current sense resistor or an issue with the wiring loom. Symptoms may include aweka motor or excessive jittering if a phase is missing.

2020-11-22 10:38:49 +0000 UTCIt costs money to store and deliver the video content, so that's not surprising. The BBC does NOT like YouTube. More and better content without censorship....
Big Clive
2020-11-22 10:36:59 +0000 UTCWill you make a video about the "neon" stars? I got exactly one with incandescent micro bulbs on 220V and would like a new USB one in pink.

2020-11-22 05:56:52 +0000 UTCLol this is probably more true 😂 BC probably was always taking apart tools not toys. Did you always have a fascination with lighting apparatus ❓

2020-11-21 16:57:57 +0000 UTCClive i don't know if this was asked before, but did you play with Lego or Erector or any of the other techno-creative toys as a child or did you start right at taking vacuum cleaners apart?

2020-11-21 13:04:57 +0000 UTCCheers Clive! I was wondering what steps you would take to diagnose a very weak stepper motor? (The one I'm dealing with can't even turn a gobo wheel smoothly)
2020-11-21 12:43:34 +0000 UTCThat’s a nice homey pond 👍 very cool layout BC

2020-11-21 02:11:07 +0000 UTCIt does have a drain. Two sluice gates that allow it to be drained or filled from the sea.
Big Clive
2020-11-21 02:10:49 +0000 UTCuntil the drain opens :-)
2020-11-21 00:00:32 +0000 UTCClive, how about reverse engineering your resistance box, 3D printed case etc ?
2020-11-20 22:59:55 +0000 UTCThat's not a stream, it's a pond!! :-)))

2020-11-20 21:49:40 +0000 UTCWhere do we submit questions/talking points for the stream?
2020-11-20 14:25:55 +0000 UTCHave you seen this, Clive? https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-55016142
2020-11-20 13:52:04 +0000 UTCI got a 3D printer this week, and Clive's right: you can never whoofle just once :-)

2020-11-20 12:25:06 +0000 UTCI might be able to pop in. We'll be at the in laws this weekend
