After digging through Sprig’s schematics, figuring out the right CircuitPython libraries, and spending countless hours debugging errors in Thonny’s serial shell, I finally got my <https://github.com/Irtaza2009/Hackamon|Hackamon code> (submission to #C0809PN4TPE|

) running on an *Orpheus Pico* on *Sprig*

Day 1 of #C045S4393CY| I began work on my #C08APN1CKEJ| submission. I don't have much experience with C, so this was a fun experience. The semicolons were sooooo annoying, but I got used to them. After some effort, I made a start button for a game idea. I was thinking a minimalist dino run thing would be cool.

ASCEND SHIP INCOMING

> last weekend, @michelle and i had the most unforgettable experience at ascend

in LA where we were surrounded by 50+ girls & non-binary in tech, helping organize one of the most incredible hackathons i've been to this year. of course, we still wanted to take the opportunity to build & ship a technical project so we spent majority of the day working on this AR simulation of a SpaceX Falcon 9 landing wherever you held up the SpaceX

logo with three.js, ar.js, & a-frame

. we were content with mediocrity until, in a last-minute turn of events (and a motivating conversation with @zrl ), we realized we wanted to make something more meaningful

. something that addressed a real issue & we could own 100% of the code

with. and what’s the #1 problem facing youth in america 🦅 today? that’s right. there are no resources for underage gambling.

🇺🇸 so, from the hours of 1–5 am, @michelle and i went all in. armed with vanilla web dev, 2+ crash-outs, and sleep deprivation, we built a GAMBLING WEBSITE FOR MINORS. our project bridges the accessibility gap by offering an educational experience to prepare the next generation for the risks of losing it all. 🎲

github: github.com/sahitid/underage-gambling 💌 thank you to @zrl for the wake-up call to redo our entire project at 1 am, and the entire #C07T6DEFD7U| organizing team ( @savina , @zoyashussain , @phaedra , @jeslyn , @elia , @andreayang ) for providing headshots that we used on the website. and most of all @ZenabH. (the coolest canadian i know) for the yap & moral support.

finally ported over everything from a $26 a month server to a much more humble $4 a month server + tidied everything up for others to install! (for dinodisplay.bbsshack.club and dino.bbsshack.club) code: github.com/saumilthecode/BBSS-Hack-Club-dinos

Been a long time since I actually posted something on here... I have made an app for android (and linux) that makes using AirPods on those operating systems way easier and better. Do you know how much Apple likes to restrict most of the features to their devices. Well, I removed the restriction! I reverse-engineered how Apple devices communicate with AirPods and wrote an app for linux and android. AirPods use the L2CAP Bluetooth protocol to communicate with apple devices. The linux version of this app has multiple scripts. One of them runs as a daemon to handle the connection, and others to handle UI, userspace, like pausing music, lowering volume, etc.. I did this so that I can have multiple applications which can talk to the AirPods without interrupting the other one. It is written purely in Python. Currently, I have made a tray application using PyQT5/6. It manages ear detection, conversational awareness, and gives me control over ANC. And, it shows the battery level too! As for the Android app, well I have attached a few images! Yes, I have tried to clone iOS's settings screen for AirPods.

The android app was a pain to work upon. For starters, Android's bluetooth stack sent extra packets to the AirPods to check for some flow control mode. The AirPods will not respond to anything until they receive a specific handshake packet. I had to download the entire android source to test out and edit the libbluetooth_jni.so (the bluetooth stack). Then, I used my smol brain to make a few changes to the source code (and by a few changes, i mean commented a few lines)... And, it worked! Rant about Apple - Guess what- They hide their handshake packet from the PacketLogger app which allows me to view all the packets sent/received from my mac to any bluetooth device. Fortunately this was available online thanks to some other people who worked way before me. Apple even hid another packet necessary to activate Conversational Awareness and Adaptive Audio! Somehow, I got really, really, really lucky, and the packet just showed up in the PacketLogger app, shortly after which, it crashed.

What works on the app – • Accurate battery levels • In-Ear detection – Music is automatically paused when they're taken out of ear! Plus, AirPods are removed as an available audio output device when none of the AirPods are in ear. • Conversational Awareness – Lowers volume when you start speaking! • Set Noise Control Mode – I can change the Noise Control Mode on my AirPods Pro 2! • Renaming AirPods • And a bunch of other settings extracted from the iOS/iPadOS settings page. ◦ Namely, Toggle Conversational Awareness, Toggle Loud Sound Reduction, Set Adaptive Audio Noise level, Toggle Automatic ear detection, Off listening Mode, Tone Volume, Noise Cancellation with Single AirPod, Toggle Volume Control by swiping. • And, of course, a debug screen, which lists all packets received, and even allows you to send packets! GitHub: github.com/kavishdevar/aln upvote the issue on android issue tracker so that the bug gets fixed: issuetracker.google.com/issues/371713238 :>

Portfolio project (Part 1): I created my first-ever portfolio using raw HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (No frameworks, just pure 2000s-style web designing). The concept around this portfolio is my character of the dinosaur, mainly themed around the Jurrasic time environment. I managed to complete the pre-home page which is a dino game, and the home page as well. I am taking a break from this for a while since I don't really have the motivation to finish this right now, it's been over a week since I edited this as I am on vacation as well. I have fallen as victim to the hands of laziness and relaxation. Anyways, GitHub repo: github.com/LinuxDinoGitHub/Portfolio24 Some screenshots and demos are attached.
