@Synxed on Fish Finder Presentation Site

9h 46m 43s logged

As I intended to make this a separate project that I would work on after the completion of the main project, I have just copied over the folders and begun to do some work.

Mainly, I just tried to move the navigational bar from the top right corner, and transform it into a sidebar that hangs from the lefthand side of the screen…

Very annoying to try to do…

Wowzers! I have a website presentation now!

Pretty much what I spent alot of my time on was actually creating a HTML Website page presentation for the findings/creative processes that went into producing this system.

Since the last log, I have done a few things:

  • Re-run the neural network training script, leading to an increased F1 probability score (60.1% -> 64.3%) which is very good!
  • Created a HTML website with Firebase Web App Hosting services (Accessible at: https://fishfinder-presentation.web.app/).
  • Conducted source file cleaning to remove further invalid records from the data source, reducing inaccuracies in predictions and models.
  • Got the entire offline capabilities working (Tested by taking my MacBook outside to the local marina without WiFi, Cellular, or any otherwise connections to external networks.
  • Fixed up some UI issues/bugs with the StreamLit application.

Sooooo, this project is beginning to near its end! Thank you for reading, and I hope that at least one person reading this may be able to actually use this themselves, or introduce this to someone else to use for their benefit!

P.S: If anyone has further questions or inquiries about how this works, or how to get it working on different types of devices, just drop a comment down below and I will reply promptly either directly through this website, or we can contact through Slack!).

Ta!

What has been done!

A.. Lot! :tired:

Pretty much these few things:

  • Marketplace/Shop page has been fixed, with the rotating shop items now being unique for each user and rotating each day at 12am (AEST). Items already owned by users will never appear in their shop again.
  • Academy Mode :reading: works now! I got the menu page for it to look the way I want it to, as well as the actual video needing to be played before completing the questions (or you could click the skip button if you want ig :) ). (The videos are from the BibleProject YouTube channel, who allow use of their video and content for non-commercial uses and do not require payment to access, adequate acknowledgement has been provided inline with their Term’s of Use).
  • Scrolls :scroll-lock: are now actually gained from completing game modes inside Quest Mode, added to user’s database document (even guest users!).
  • For Racetrack Mode 🚗, users can only gain their Scroll reward from each different race once per day, any more than that, and no scroll reward is given.
  • Settings options actually work now, especially the toggle contrast and the font size slider!
  • Verse Board now features a TTL function, which will clear old verse sets that have not had any plays within the last 30 days.

And thats all so far! 🔥

What’s Next? :dance:

  • I want to actually add some graphics (probably SVG’s) for Marketplace items rather than just the generic blue card background.
  • I want to add a tutorial overlay that is displayed for users who have just clicked the Quest Mode button from the home page, to highlight each of the different actions they can take on the page, and to explain the general purpose of the mode!

So, that is what has been done, along with what is to come!

Keep an eye out! ❤️‍🔥

So, What has been done!

Pretty much just this:

  • My CAD files decided it no longer wanted to be a box and started to be weird.

What did I have to do?

  • Uh well, pretty much remake everything again T^T not very fun, and took quite a while, but it has ended up being pretty much the same, also, side colouring has been fixed!

Wow, more work done!

What has been done:

  • StreamLit website working, read the README.md file for instructions on how to host locally.
  • Presentation website created: FishFinder-Presentation.web.app!
  • Neural Network trained on ~40,000 records from within the dataset (20/80 split of testing and training).
  • Dataset enrichment from the Open-Meteo Historical Weather API (with permission), introducing columns to the dataset for: Amount of Rain, Wind Direction, Moon Phase (calculated separately through a Python script), and Sea Surface Temperatures (returned “null”, so removed).
  • Improved on PowerBI dashboards and Excel Pivot Tables and Charts.

Keep an eye out for more updates!

Wow, a lot of work done!
I have completed so many features! From a new game mode, to a marketplace to a verse board where users can submit their own games for others to play!

I have uploaded the website to: better-bibleguesser.web.app for anyone who would wish to play it, or to just see what it is all about!

What Was Done:

  • New “Quest Mode” game mode completed with a Marketplace, Academy, and Racetrack mini-modes to play and interact with! Completing certain game modes within the Quest Mode will reward signed-in users with a new currency: Scrolls. Scrolls can be used to purchase account decoration options in profile settings!
  • The Marketplace rotates items through every 24 hours, and you will never be shown items that you have already purchased. Profile customisation options set by users before this update will remain active unless changed.
  • Support for low-vision or impaired vision users with contrast, font size and other accessibility options and settings available.
  • New Verse Board modal for users to upload their “Create Game” verse for others to view and play. Total plays are tracked and displayed on the sets’ modal card.
  • Leaderboards and Statistic tracking and display have been fixed: Profile customisation options will now show.
  • Better account handling and security through Firebase Auth and Google Sign-in’s.

Well, some more work still to come!
So if you are following this (which literally no one is!), keep an eye out!

Ta!

So what has changed?Pretty much, just these few things, nothing major!

  1. Trees! Yes, as you probably have noticed, there is a great big whopping tree in the corner now! After my initial designs, I really felt that my MacroPad was really lacking in the visual design-aspect of this mission. So, lo and behold, and in keeping with the style colours, I decided to add some image imprints to the design! (Wow this was hard!) - What I had to do in order to do these imprints, was actually find a .SVG file online of one of the shapes, import in into Fusion 360 as a .SVG, then I had to isolate the parts that I wanted, extrude the shapes that were left upwards by about 0.5mm, drag the new objects over the top plate of my CAD file, duplicate and hide one of the copies, and then finally, extrude and cut one of the duplicates downwards by 0.5mm and then unhide the other duplicate, and drop it into the newly cut gap, thus allowing the design to remain showing on the top plate despite being separate objects!

  2. A big gate! I had to do a similar method with this SVG to imprint it.

  3. A sun and cloud! Again a similar method required.

So, overall, this part took a pretty long time if you ask me!I appreciate all your support and value feedback 🔥

(It’s a Tre :D)

I was thinking that my “Mini Keyboard” was looking a little bit bland… So I did some detailing!

Pretty much what I did, was import some SVG files, extrude them to 0.5mm, bring them over the keyboard, and then extrude and cut them with a depth of 0.5mm into the top plate of the “Mini Keyboard”.

Once I had done that, I placed another copy of the SVG’s directly over the newly formed carvings of the board, and then vertically translated the SVG bodies down into the top plate, filling the gaps perfectly, and allowing me to be able to apply different colours into the shapes, to create a nice Sakura/Cherry Blossom theme for my “Mini Keyboard”.

(I tried to get Lapse working, and did log about 1.5 hours of Fusion 360 work, but it still says:
“This timelapse is processing - hold on! We’ll refresh when it’s ready.”
Even after a whole day).

If anyone has any ideas for more aesthetic changes, lmk ❤️‍🔥!

@Synxed on Mini Keyboard - "Sakura in the Moonlight"

So... What is this "Mini Keyboard"?

But first, some context behind the design!

I do a decent amount of technological subjects for school and often are constantly needing to run keyboard shortcuts, such as taking screenshots, running a command in the terminal to run a file and so on. And many times I have wished that I was able to have my own customised set of keys that would allow me to merely press them to execute those functions.

And lo and behold, I found this! (Thank you GitHub!)

This experience was actually what inspired me to choose the specific layout and orientation of the switches, screen and knob was actually from some of my experiences working with my MacBook.

After initially reading through the mission, I was thinking like:
'Woah, this is exactly what I have been looking for'

And 2 days later (and one very, very late night), I am finished! (For now 😉)

Honestly, the learning curve was steep, from starting with absolutely no idea how to even import the custom symbols, and ending up with enough knowledge to be able to freely customise and modify my Fusion 360 design (at least to some extent!). Overall it has been quite interesting, getting to learn how to take something as simple as the schematics for the PCB and import that into an editor that allows you to dynamically interact with wiring to create a finished product, these are the types of skills that I would not have learnt anywhere else otherwise.

Now, onto explaining what my Hackpad does (or is).
1. A 2x5 MX Switch type grid that are linked to commands, macros and functions for my Macbook Air. For example, the top left key is linked to the input combination Cmd + Shift + 3 (Screenshot), and the key directly next to it on the right is linked to a mini macro that opens the screen recording menu (Cmd + Shift + 5) and automatically begins a screen recording (Pressing the key again after the screen recording has been started will end, and save the recording automatically as well).
2. An OLED Screen that displays information regarding the inputs supplied by the Hackpad such as the time elapsed for a screen recording, display brightness level (%) and volume level (%).
3. A rotator knob that allows you to change the level of either the connected Macbook's brightness display level (%) or the volume level (%). The top-right key switch allows you to toggle which mode the knob affects, and the OLED will display a small symbol to remind you what mode the knob is on. This knob actually requires the Macbook to have installed another piece of software (for example switchaudio-source) to supply the Hackpad with the actual audio level for the OLED (instead of simulating a digital % level based off changes only made with the pad).
4. The MCU used is the "Seeed XIAO RP2040 microcontroller" and allows for quite a few inputs, which as well as using a matrix for the 10 key switches, provided me with enough room to just fit in the OLED and knob.

So, cool project, no?
I even decided to try to add some colouring to the board: A Sakura Pallet 🌸. Such nice colours, and hopefully if the box is able to be printed, I will be able to receive some white keycaps to finish off the look (Also, if anyone out there knows any really nice sticker arts that i can cut around the top face of my board and are Japanese Sakura style, send me a message!)

I'm hoping to continue to improve on this Hackpad in the future (maybe even switch out the MCU for a "Seeed Studio XIAO nRF52840"! Who knows!), and I can foresee a future where if I am able to get my own Hackpad delivered to me, I think I will be using it every day!

Awesome project, awesome learning opportunity, and awesome use of 2/3 of my sleeping time last night! 10/10 Stardance and HackClub!

Ready to SHIP 🚢

Done so much!
I have managed to create my own 2x5 keyboard with an OLED screen and a rotator knob!

Took a lot of tweaking to figure out wire placements in KiCad, but finally did it!

However, the submission form:
https://forms.hackclub.com/hackpad-submission
Doesn’t seem to be working, anyone know anything about this?

Thx ❤️‍🔥

Creating “Qmath” functions and actions.

So far, only the addition option of Qmath has been created, and the other two (Subtraction and Multiplication) will be added soon.
Still need to add code for the menu for players to enter their guesses.
