In the last 30 minutes before I go to bed, I made some more small design changes to make the website for astronomical and futuristic and a overall good design. Firstly I added a proper nebula background that adds a nice touch to it, and I also made the links to my contact icons from W3Schools, and I also made the navbar buttons send the user to different sections when they click it. I haven’t added any projects yet, but the point was to make a personal website, and its done.
Today I finished up the main part of the website, which was styling. I put this for last as I figured it’d be easier to add the components first, and then style them. I was having trouble putting one of the div on the center of the screen, but then I realized the css property on the outer div was forcing it, and so I fixed it. It looks kind of good right now. I’ll add more things later, but this is it for now.
I finished adding my personal education section and also the projects section. I have to do more work on the projects section and adding my portfolio and all, and I’m thinking of writing a different functional react component separately that I can pass in a description and image to make my project card, but we’ll see. For now it has my social media links, and my education. I haven’t done much styling yet, I’ll add all the animations in the end.
I started working on the website for my project. I decided to use ReactJS for this, and I started by making 2 components for the Navbar and the hero section. Overall, it’s going alright. I’ll post more updates soon. I did this on a different project folder, before I setup hackatime properly, and so my timestamp is gone. I worked on this for ~1hr 40 mins.
Updated Flight Controller Code for MPU9250 Since I previously tested and wrote code with a MPU6050 because I physically had the sensor, I now decided to update the code to the new and more advanced MPU9250. Today’s session was mostly about getting the sensory data (Roll, Pitch, Yaw) from the sensor, and I haven’t implemented a PID loop yet, and I’ll focus on that next, as well as implementing the connections from the custom PCB.
#I made the arms of the drone thicker so it is more resistant to crashes, which may happen quite a bit during initial PID tuning and testing. Not only that, I also added a small cutout on the top to house the main electronics, including the battery, the Raspberry PI, and also the custom PCB.
Added Landing Legs for the Drone: After I moved the project from stasis, I added a better landing leg for the drone and added M3 holes to screw them to the main body. After this, I’ll fix the BOM in my GitHub as well as finish up the Raspberry PI Camera code and submit it for review. Should be almost done.
