@galadriel5Working on creating a scheduling app to keep me on top of my hardware project and my insane life! I have way too much stuff to do.
@Sean-U04FATFRE6T7+The pcb's for controling the relay hardware arrived today
@ZeroQL1#w-of-the-day day 24
took a nap (amazing experience 10/10) and did some 2021 advent of code exercises. my #hardware-party items were supposed to come today but didn't arrive unfortunately :/
@Sean-U04FATFRE6T7+Had a great call with bankops talking about winter hardware wonderland...
@ZeroQL1#w-of-the-day day 20
got my #hardware-party grant approved and ordered some my items right away (processing so :prayge: that is goes through without a hitch)
@ZeroQL1#w-of-the-day day 18
my #hardware-party project got approved :yay: , so now its just a matter of getting it merged :D
tipped it of by working on winterlings
trying to figure how can i elegantly display team projects, this is gonna be much complicated than i thought :p
@ZeroQL1#w-of-the-day day 13
its FRIDAY THEN,ITS SATRUDAY SUNDAY WHAAA?
its the weekend, meaning its time to finish my #hardware-party project
its 1 am as i write this so its technically day 14 but we don't talk about that
@Keevan0So excited, just applied to the hack club Winter Hardware Wonderland grant!! I'm planning on making an auto webcam movement tracker for zoom calls. Should be a fun project!
@brianna0not my pic but I wanna make this for winter hardware wonderland 👀 animatronic eyes. creepy but cool 😎
@galadriel5Shopping for parts for my winter hardware project!
@ZeroQL1#w-of-the-day day 9 but not really cause SCHOOOOOOL!!! :blob_sad:
not much happened cause, you know, SCHOOL
did some extra work on winterlings and did some coding problems cause why not
i'm gonna have to decide whether i'm taking part in #hardware-party or not, doesn't help since apparently my finals will begin at the same period of building the items:confuse:
@Khushraj0Everything for my winter wonderland project is here! :winter-hardware-wonderland:
I've also added an annotated picture. Here's my PR: github.com/hackclub/winter/pull/18
Thank you to @belle for reviewing my PR, @MelanieSmith and @DaisyReyes-U046V3EK56W for help with bank and a huge shoutout to everyone working on everything surrounding the grant! Looking forward to building this drone :tw_airplane:
@Sam1First Robotics Kickoff! :first: I had a great time at my local kickoff event, excited for the season!
Also, more stuff for the winter hardware project arrived!
@ZeroQL1#w-of-the-day day 6
its coming together, not long now
really thought i could ship my #hardware-party site today but debugging took wayy longer than expected (still couldn't figure out the solution lol)
btw i don't plan on using phantom sans and will switch the font for production
@Peiprjs3Materials for the #hardware-party have been ordered! Now it is waiting time. I am also waiting for a shipment of Club Mate, essential to development
@Sam115 minute calibration cube! (That’s quite fast)
Calibrating my 3D printer with larger nozzles for use in large prints for #hardware-party!
@Peiprjs3I got the hardware grant! Now it's time for paperwork, I guess?
@ZeroQL1#w-of-the-day day 2
this is going to be harder than i thought
First day of school so i was extremely tired and couldn't do anything today. literally crashed in my bed upon returning
BUT i did finally decide on my #hardware-party project so that's a w for me
@ShubhamPatil7+finally getting around to that winter hardware PR
@Aiden0Got the first ingredient for my #hardware-party project
@cytronicoder0Throwback to the first time when I worked with hardware - a Jetson Nano 2GB :hardware: - back in June :summer-of-making:
Built a butterfly classification model, and now I'm applying to a Stanford AI camp: github.com/cytronicoder/butterfly-classification
Can't wait to see what I'll do with AI next year! :bananaparrot:
@sahitid0putting together my sprig today was the highlight of the holiday season fr :sprig-dino: gods, i love you guys. i can't tell you how utterly pivotal it was to physically hold my game in my hands on this tiny, adorable, green unit of hardware. i want to say thank you to the whole #sprig team for putting in the time and making this happen!
@ella0Stuffed some blank Sprig PCBs. They look ok. Better than the first time I tried to do this back in October.
The first time I stuffed a Sprig PCB, I used a soldering iron for the SMDs which was bad because I messed up the placement of the qfn chip so the audio didn’t work. 🔇 I used solder paste, a stencil, and hot air this time which made everything easier, and probably more accurate.
@Abel-U04GARXJU100Made a block diagram for my Winter Hardware
Wonderland entry. Its gonna be a small synth/groovebox you can playaround with for some lofi like tunes.
Also its my first scrapbook entry!
@luanderfarias0submited my project to Winter Hardware Wonderland. while it doesn't start let's work on some sprig games, maybe continue working on inputify and other things...
@Sam1School's out for now! :yay:
Winter Hardware Wonderland proposal submitted! ❄️
My Sprig is almost here :D :sprig-dino:
A new workshop is in the making 👀
Hacky Holidays everyone! :christmasparrot:
@cytronicoder0Late night post: Been working on polishing my GitHub profile today... :github:
In addition, I started on this ~dangerous~ simple idea of building a Sprig gaming controller for #hardware-party... :sprig-dino:
It's also summer camp applications season... :blobfearsweat:
@thrzl0day 1/10 of #10-days-in-public (didn't know we were doing this again!)
finalized the hardware designs for my project and got organized a bit
tmr i might start working on the image, but some of the software isn't done so i don't know how far i'll get
@maggie0working on something… :vercel::partyparrot:@HenryBass-U02KEJ8T6D80Continued trying to study complex dynamics, and not doing school work
also optimized my sprig Mandelbrot viewer to improve the odds of it running on sprig hardware
@HenryBass-U02KEJ8T6D80I made a Mandelbrot set zooming tool thing that hopefully should be able to run on sprig hardware
@kyle0The arduino coffin dance buzzer workshop thing. Lazy to do more important things.@kognise0"what the fuck is that soldering job?"
"what are you using 10 watt resistors for?"
well, you see, i like loud noises and electrical engineering. (despite sucking at it. but i didn't kill myself!)
pro tip: no better chassis for dangerous electrical projects than a tupperware box with external components gaff taped on :>
@belle0learning about the cpu! it's really fun but my brain hurts and i have so so much more respect for all the hardware hoomans :salute:
@ArcadeWise0omg omg i love embedded systems. here’s my arduino mega and pico transmitting data over a custom protocol I designed!
@meridi0Went to a CubeSat 🛰️ conference today, got to meet awesome people and check out their hardware! NASA was handing out some really pretty posters and swag as well, picked a lot of those up
@RachitAgarwal-U02SVBTUR1P0Made an automated Stone Paper Scissor Machine using 3D printer, Laser cutter and other elements(Arduino, Servos, etc.)
@zrl0I replaced the extruded in my 3D printer today! The pre-assembled extruders were all out of stock, so I had to buy the parts for one (which got lost in the mail, so had to place a second order…), put it together, and then pull out the old clogged extruder in the printer and replace it with the new one I assembled.
I've always been kind of intimidated by hardware and am really proud of myself for getting this done! + bonus sunset picture from tonight
@tetraoxygen0Made a Panic Sign client for the Playdate! (simulator, the actual hardware doesn’t have network calls yet)
@HenryBass-U02KEJ8T6D80First thingy with the leap. Built a little ultrasonic distance detecting circuit. So far it's stationary. next up is to hook this to a servo to get a 180* scan, to form an image (if I can figure out how to do graphics with the Arduino in real time)
