I came across this video via the K9 Facebook group, it was published a while ago, when I get a chance I will sit down and listen to it.

After having a go at assembling the ears printed in the [[blog:k9_nose_gun|last post]], I decided to have a go at making something a little easier to assemble. [[wiki:projects:k9:reference:mat_prentis|Mat Prentis]] assembled this guide that gave me the dimensions below: Heading into Fusion360 I generated the following model: [[tag:thinkl33t]] Sliced it and […]
To avoid this joke in future, I have started printing my K9’s head by printing the two parts of the nose first:
I have been trying to design a K9 for 3D printing for a while, even using Fusion 360 getting the body design has been a stumbling block, On Facebook, there is a k-9 builders community and a link to a OneDrive account with 200 x 200 sliced STLs. I have […]
I just realised that in Part 1 and Part 2 that I didnt discuse how to go from Datasheet to Fusion 360, While I am not going to cover how to do the drawing in great detail, there are plenty of sites which tell you how to make drawings in […]
I have started designing assembles in Fusion 360 using T-Slot, a lot of head scratching on how to make use of it at arbitrary lengths in my designs… I started by making a 20mm length of T-Slot as its own model in Fusion 360; This is model has all of […]
After the print yesterday, I wanted to know what the 100% sized eyes would look like. Having also thought a bit more; I can think of a better way of constructing the head, so that is back to CAD for a re-design. The 100% eyes seem to have printed only […]
A while ago I picked up these buttons for my Dr Who’s K-9 robot from AliExpress, Hobby Components have similar available online, The ones I purchased are SPDT with a 24 V DC incandescent bulb in them, regardless of the button colour they are all illuminated with a white incandescent […]
I missed a Makevember post yesterday, and the one for today is going to be quite virtual again… Last time I did a post on K-9’s Back it was to work out how to read the buttons, and to do a first draft of the CADing up for the 3D […]
Today’s Makevember There seems to be very little consensus on the arangement of the colours of the buttons on the back of K-9, K9 has a 4 x 3 array of buttons on his back, I am using this image Binary kitten got me from the k9 at the Doctor […]
K9 — occasionally written as K-9 or K•9 — was the designation given to a series of intelligent, dog-like robots who served as companions of Professor Marius, the Fourth Doctor, Leela, Romana, Sarah Jane Smith, Luke Smith, and Starkey. K9 Mark I, II, III, and IV addressed whoever they were […]
As part of my R-Pi K-9 I want to have a web browser interface, (also because I want to build an ROV) I don’t have a beaglebone black. Using a web browser as my interface will allow me to use my recently acquired iPad to control it, I want to […]
Dave Everett of the K9 Builders Club has created a set of files that allow you to cut the K-9 body from Styrene board, Izzy has built one of his, and her blog also has a number of reference images on it. I am tempted to build a number of the […]
I picked up two L298N Stepper Motor Driver Controller Boards from Hobby Components for my K-9, to go with the two 24 V / 4.5 A Parvalux motors I acquired. The L298N Stepper Motor Driver Controller Board from Hobby Components has the following specification: Uses ST L298N chip, can directly drive […]
Jason managed to strip out K-9’s voice from the video in the previous K9 post, so now I have a selection of words and phrases as John Leeson said them. I will convert these WAV files to MP3 for use in my K9.
For the K-9 project I will need to have some voices, this is the set of sections I have stripped out of the K-9 film, I am going to ask Jason from work to strip out just the audio files for me 🙂 This is not the full video and […]
For a very long time, I have been planning on making a RC K-9 from the BBCs Doctor Who, recently I aquired a copy of “K9 and Company: A Girl’s Best Friend” K-9 and Company was a proposed television spin-off of the original programme run of Doctor Who (1963–1989). It […]
