Shuttleworth Collection Special Open Workshop Day 2012
I used my Raspberry Pi, running the wonderful RASPBMC OS in my car...
Many thanks to my good friend 'Beany' for finding this lathe for my 30th birthday!
A little more research is to be done to date this one, but these lathes were produced between 1908 and 1943.
Made in Guildford near London, it's nice to be looking after another little piece of British history!
In need of some light restoration (cleaning, lubrication, and alignment), also need to re-mount the motor so it can fit on my bench top (came on it's own stand).
This is taken with a true RMS FLUKE multimeter. No Scope at the time, so can't comment on ripple. Measurement taken at TP1 and TP2.
Load = bog standard Dell USB keyboard and optic mouse, Ethernet and HDMI, Debian OS running.
Power Supply = HTC Desire phone charger
Cable = cheap coiled lead off ebay, so quite possibly losing some voltage across the cable
Debian operates fine, able to run Geany, Terminal and file explorer while completing exercises from "learn python the hard way" without a hitch!
A business card box was perfect for my Pi, and a USB2 hub!
Just received my Raspberry Pi!
Some photos for now, can't wait to get it running!
