I did tons of work on my glider, StratoSoar, making a ton of calculators and small features. I also started designing a LoRa telemetry uploader station! I’ll send a photo of one of the calculators. github.com/crnicholson/StratoSoar-MK3

THIS IS A REPAT POST BECAUSE MY FIRST ONE DIDN’T SHOW ALL SESSIONS. I finished the web UI for a plant monitor interface (designed for zrl)! It fetches data from a Flask backend and then displays it. The data is uploaded from an ESP32 module using HTTP POST requests. It gets it’s data from a LoRa transmitter that actually measures everything. github.com/crnicholson/Plant-Monitor

I’ve done lots of work to create a foldable, flatpack flying wing glider. So far, I’ve gotten somewhere on the Python script and made some progress on the design of the glider. I really hope my research sessions count. github.com/crnicholson/StratoSoar-MK3/tree/main/Research/foldingGlider

I’ve finished designing the nestDuino v6, a soldering kit intended to aid in the learning of the kids at my makerspace, New England Sci-Tech (NEST). This was not paid, all volunteer work, so don’t worry reviewers. github.com/crnicholson/nestDuino

I got a new 3D printer! I spent a while creating new profiles and 3D models for it, so hopefully that counts for Hack Hour.

Today I did a hackathon. My friend and I made an automated part finder for KiCAD. This is for hack hour and my proof is in my hack hour posts. I did 5 hours but in reality 8.
