Whats been happening?
Been another minute!! Here’s what’s been happening since the last time I had this site working correctly: In the meantime I’ve built a few websites and am continuing to look for a permanent position, but if you’re looking for a website/IT consulting, or know anyone who is, please use the Contact Me page to reach…

Been a minute
As expected, I haven’t posted to this blog since I graduated college. I’d really like to post more, I’ve just had a lot going on lately. Big bullet points since I last posted:

Object – Final Project Documentation
Description For this project, had just planned to make a simple world clock. After some feedback on the design, I wanted to take it a little further from a standard clock’s layout. I was inspired by another project by Mike Mak (they unfortunately removed it from their website, but you can find a photo of…

Object – Motors
My process for this lab was pretty much standard; I followed along with the circuit diagrams, and then everything just sorta worked¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I only have photos of the stepper, but have videos of both: So here are those videos: Here are my circuit diagrams: And here is my code:

Object – Lab 4 – Analog Game
For this project, I made a little submarine-type game. I admittedly didn’t worry too much about how it looked, focusing moreso on making the game itself semi-engaging. For this game, the player pilots a submarine through obstacles in an attempt to reach the other side. If they collide with the obstacles, lights flash an “explosion”…

Sensor Box
For this lab, I started at Part 1. I followed along with the circuit diagram provided in the Canvas assignment, and then when I had the circuit created, I wrote some code for it that ran it according to the lab. Analog Input/Output – Sensors After I finished Part 1, I moved on to Part…

Capstone 2 – 50% Progress Report
Things have been going! I was able to do the function test, and while it was a fail-forward I was able to get a ton of great data and confirmed many of my processes. Rather than wait outside for a warm, sunny day, I took the power of the sun into my own hands and…

Digital I/O Breakout Boards
Like the last lab, I don’t really know what all to say here for my process. I basically just followed along with the circuit diagrams and soldered as I went. The breakout board for the switch was a bit of a pain, but that was more my own fault for using a switch with connectors…

Capstone 2 – Mid-Semester Update
So far I’ve designed the crappy-but-it-works version! It looks gross, I’ll be honest. My intention was to make the project as off-the-shelf as possible, but I think that in order for it to function to its full potential it will need some custom parts. I’m gonna 3D print a few parts, but I’m also going…
