Reverse Engineering a Broken Diffuser Circuit
One rainy day my essential oil diffuser broke, and I was sad. Until I realized I could tear it apart and figure out how the circuit worked! I recruited Gector to help me again, and we managed to reverse engineer the whole thing in a few hours.
Project Hype: Heartbeat Sensor
Gector and I have been working on a new project together, a heartbeat sensor. It uses a cool infrared LED with a receiver to bounce light off of the pulse in your finger (or wrist), and then send the received signal to an op-amp, which amplifies it and blinks an LED to your heartbeat.
Oscillating Air Engine: Final Product
Last time I shared about the engine, I had a few parts completed. Now that the semester is over, my engine is complete, and I had a wonderful turnout. :)
Brain Imaging
I have always been fascinated with the idea of electricity in the body, specifically neuron signals, whether it be the signals from the brain to the muscles, to the organs, or the communication between the different parts of the brain.
Project Hype: Oscillating Air Engine
My first semester of college has been quite the adventure. I’ve met a group of great nerds, I’ve been having a great time with my classes, and midterms are in just a few days. I wanted to take some time to update on our engineering semester project: designing and building an oscillating air engine.
Ham Radio gpredict
One thing that’s cool about the world of hamateur radio is that radio waves are all around us. You could be standing in the middle of a transmission going on, and not even know it!
When Deja-Dup Failed Me
Since I started using Linux 2-ish years ago, I have messed up the partitions on my laptop multiple times trying to fiddle with stuff. Through that, I very quickly learned the lesson of computer backups.
Ham Radio : Technician's License
A few months ago, I presented the idea to Gector to set UTW (a friend group of ours) with ham radio. We put it on our list of projects to do, and left it on the back burner.
