I enjoy building things with IoT devices, 3D printing, and upcycling if I can. Here are some of my recent side projects.
Took apart laptops, chromebooks, gaming consoles, and even a garage door opener + ran blue el wire + screwed onto an old cut and painted fence post. my fiance & I know the memories behind each spot, but if you look closely you can see different U.S states (Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, West Virginia & Pennsylvania), and a 'bridge' over coe lake -- where we got engaged!
Used the tiny PCBs leftover from the project above to make some earrings.
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.
Christmas 2023 present for my partner: a LCD 1602 that updates every minute with how long we have been dating :)
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 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.
Raspberry Pi Zero W powered $TSLA stock ticker displayed on a LCD1602. Fetched the data every few seconds from a depleted API.
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.
