Side Projects

PCB wall art

Took apart laptops, chromebooks, gaming consoles, and even a garage door opener combined with el wire and screwed onto an old fence post cut and painted.

PCB earrings

Used the tiny PCBs leftover from the project above to make some earrings.

Neon Light Decoration

Using an Adafruit Playground Express, fiber optic cables, and neopixels, I was able to repurpose a cardboard shoe box (with some duct tape) into a futuristic light display. The neopixel lights would continuously flow through the cables while changing color, which made it memorizing.

Relationship Clock

Christmas 2023 present for my partner: a LCD 1602 that updates every minute with how long we have been dating :)

3D Printed Ornaments

Family & Friends Christmas 2023 presents: designed in TinkerCad and printed on my Ender 3 (wrote script in Cura slicer for a filament swap at a certain layer)

Rick Robot

Rick is an autonomous land rover that can fetch objects via voice command and computer vision. Contains a Raspberry Pi 4b, 4 DC motors, motor driver, ultrasonic sensors, camera, Robot Claw (not pictured), and is powered by a battery pack.

Real-Time $TSLA Stock Ticker

Raspberry Pi Zero W powered $TSLA stock ticker displayed on a LCD1602. Fetched the data every few seconds from a depleted API.

Environmental Room Sensor

Raspberry Pi Zero W using a 'Traffic Light' set-up of LEDS to signal temperature and humidity (good=green, fair=yellow, bad=red, error=white) from a SHT40. Temp/humd range was custom to my comfort levels.
