Dead! Pico's!!!
Added 2023-11-07 17:07:56 +0000 UTCHELLO EVERYONE! I have a small update on the plasma cutter! after installing the larger servos, THEY BLEW UP THE PICO!!! hahaha after doing some research I found out that the amp draw and the electrical noise from the servos running was frying the puck converter on the pico’s. so a small set back :D
thankfully I think I have found a solution :D after doing some research I have found a servo board that looks like it will solve the issue!!! woohoo!
I have ordered it, and reworked the parts to for its larger size. now need to wait for it to arrive! but instead of working on a speed project, I thought it was time to start work on the next large project! So, I'll have a post for new project ideas up in a few minutes :D

hay there thank you :D no problem :D Im happy to burn out components if it means you guys don’t have to :D I found it really interesting though :D even though the servo is not directly powered from the Pico but is on the same power supply. it was still able to cause the issue :D
