Crazy day, the ICs I designed a year ago finally arrived. Unfortunately I don't have the equipment at home to do any testing. Waiting to get back on campus :im_fucking_sobbing:

merry christmas y'all! got some fun goodies from adafruit!

with @edwardphirijr698 today we introduced Arduino programming and electronics to the grade 8 students at Munali boys secondary school 🙂

Here's the secret project I mentioned, @hugo.y.hu935! i'm putting together something called....

✨  SAMBOX ✨
The Sambox is little box that has a computer you can SSH into and instantly hack on a project and deploy it, with custom DNS and zero setup :cooll-thumbs:. It has its own wifi router and everything. Just power it up and start hacking; you're good-to-go!

This Sambox will go on a journey. It's going to start by being mailed to a Hack Clubber, who will hack on it for a few days (until the timer runs out‽). We'll include four shipping labels with Sambox so that the first hacker can mail it to the second. The second hacker may change or customize anything on Sambox or contribute something new, and then pass it on to the third after the time runs out.

All hacking will be done OFFLINE on the Sambox :yuh:

The final person to get Sambox will be @sampoder of course, who will plug it into the internet, putting all of the projects online! :yay:

Here's the shopping list. Parts arrive ~tomorrow~ today!

Just received my first hackathon prize (of value) today! From OneHacks!!!

A _packed_ Arduino kit and some merch.

Got my first arduino today and wrote some code to make it flash the light in morse code for whatever text the user inputs

#kale saw it first 👀… I got some hardware in the mail today, but I am still waiting on some parts.

github

Today I bought a UPS for my server and finally completed the first version of <https://github.com/devnol/powerSurge>, a raspberry pi pico-based dumb shutdown system. It detects when the power falls out and while the server is running on the UPS power, the pico pulls low the power button of the server, telling it to finally shut down safely and without loss of any data. In the future I plan to add a restart feature if the power comes back up after a specific amount of time and an ambient thermometer so that it shuts the server down if the temperature gets over the specification. If you have a homelab and like tinkering with hardware this project might be for you, so if you want give it a follow on GitHub to get updates on my progress on it.

spring-of-making

Couple of weeks, I was working with ESP8266. to implement basic device registration process for IoT product. Finally I’ve cleared all my challenges. Learned MQTT, spiffs, and  lot of string handling functions 😂. All this done by using esp-idf.

The hardware part is complete! The black power supply is used for probing whether the power from mains has fallen, the white power supply is for providing constant power to the pico, the large board is the target machine (my server’s front I/O board) and the white breadboard is a voltage regulator!

My 17$ decommissioned FPGA miner arrived today!! After some cleaning and solder work, it came alive and booted into Linux :ultrafastparrot:

homebrew

zoom

I finally fixed my homebrew CPU's memory access "bug." It wasn't a bug at all. Here's a short demo of 4 programs running on it via the UART bootloader! Also, I wanted to experiment with showing both the hardware and software at the same time (decided to use Zoom for that).

hi hi hi! dug up my sisters old arduino uno and got it hooked up. I’m about to order a bunch of stuff for it, since I only have a few wires and resistors :(

My math teacher has loaned me 2 Arduinos! If you have any ideas or resources pls let me know I have never used an Arduino.

A phone I am working on, the hardware is mostly done, waiting for the camera module to arrive. It's using an orange pi 3G board, running Android. It's the second time I am making the case for the phone, but this time I am adding a camera to it and making the case nicer in general(thinner, using brackets to hold in the parts instead of glue and using as many screws as possible).

Yesterday was the Day 1 of our 3-Day Arduino bootcamp. We have organized this bootcamp to celebrate Arduino day and we had around 75 participants yesterday.:yay:

robot_face

Yesterday we celebrated arduino day with Transfer multi-sort Electroniks (TME) I and @edwardphirijr698  presented our robot and won the TME arduino board and tshirts :)

Finally, after 2 months of procrastination, I cleaned up the CPU 😁

My agenda for Arduino day has been approved:ultrafastparrot: 
Our council will be organizing Arduino workshop and live demo for Arduino day:yay:

cyclone

today i presented.. the _*CLIMATATOR*_! it’s a *4D* interactive media experience / climate change simulator that showcases the effects of climate change to a younger audience. you enter the cabinet, put an AR headset on, watch a fictional weather report from 2050, then you begin to feel the heat of a heatwave 🔥 (there’s a strong heater inside), then you going on a bumpy ride (haptic motors) in a fire truck fighting wildfires :firefighter: (it’s still boiling from the heater and it intentionally smells of burning) and to end of your experience a cyclone with winds (a big fan) and shaking (haptic motors) 🌀  + it’s got sound effects and a nice video (this is my myp personal project, goal was to create an engaging way of learning about climate change)

the wooden structure was put together with a lot of drilling and with the use of recycled materials to the extent possible. i learnt a lot about woodworking as this was my first ever real woodworking project.

_*this is biggest project ever, it’s taken me since August to build this all out…..*_ and i’m really proud of the final product. uses a mix of Raspberry Pi Python, Arduino, Next.js & Node.js to all work. the AR headset is powered by Holocron (<https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sampoder/holocron>)

First time building a circuit with an arduino! Took me a while to get it to work :flushded:

codeday

I spent most of my weekend practicing algorithmic problems, and I got an electronic kit from CodeDay. :codeday: I don’t have much experience with Arduino, so I am excited to see what I can build! 

Received my first professionally made PCB from JLCPCB :ultrafastparrot:

got this super dope hardware box! also got a pi pico!

Day 2 of Pico desk clock, didn’t have much time today so I worked on the Fritzing Hardware schematic.
