Finished my Macropad

Wrote the code, did some changes in the pcb, and viola, after 3 hours more, my macropad is ready!!

My first project has been completed, tho it will be my second ship, I did a quick project in between

Added a smart cylinder calculation

This is a 10000 particle beast which took 20 minutes to compute one final frame after settling.

Added numpy because calculations are reduced from hours to minutes

What did you make?

An Atom Simulator that visualises VSEPR theory — a chemistry concept I was studying
in 11th grade that explains how atoms arrange themselves when forming compounds.
I gave each particle a repulsive force and used some physics where atoms naturally settle into the same structures VSEPR predicts.

What was challenging?

Two things:
1. The radial force, getting particles to stay on the sphere surface without snapping or drifting took a lot of tuning (damping constants, partial normalisation, force scaling)

2.Dynamic bond drawing, since particles move every frame, the cylinders connecting them have to be recalculated each frame, including figuring out which particles are close enough to be "bonded" and hiding the rest

What are you proud of?

I started by manually hard-coding forces between every pair of atoms, then refactored
everything into loops and 2D lists, cutting the code down massively. I also pre-compute all the frames before the animation starts, so playback is smooth with
no lag.

To test it

Use the GlowScript web version, it works in any browser instantly.
If you run it locally, note that it freezes for ~30 seconds while pre-computing
frames before the animation starts. That's normal, not a crash.

*Built an Atom Simulator

I’m in 11th so I had the topic of VSEPR in my curriculum, So I built a program that simulates these structures by giving repulsion energies to these atoms. Then after using VPython, vectors, partial normalisation, 2D Lists and stuff I made it a bit not so boring.
The structure automatically takes place when they go into lowest energy state. The positions are all first calculated and then the animation begins where you can see them going into lowest energy states.

The maximum limit is said to be 12, but you could try with any number of particles you want, seeing how the structure would look like if it were real

Built a ML powered MFC Biosensor.

So in the past few days, I have successfully created the machine learning side for my biotech project.

Also, I have completed the data collection setups, which will continue to collect data in the future few months automatically.

This Ml powered biosensor is a bit different, it uses voltage AND temperature as variables to predict future voltages. Any anomaly is flagged.
I am using a nearest neighbour model to compare patterns and predicting.
Hence solving one of the biggest problems with biosensors, not knowing if a voltage drop is caused by time of day or actual toxic event.

I’ll son start working on the documentation, tho i already have a pretty detailed information document and 12-13 python files for prediction ready, I will -crate a structured git page soon.

You can see in the screenshot that its predicting, and its accuracy is a bit low because the biofilm hasnt yet been established, once it does, above 95% accuracy is predicted.

Finished Case and PCB for my macropad

Now I’ll start writing code for it and submit.

THIS IS MY FIRST PROJECT

Biosensor research round 2 prep.

I’m working on a biosensor, right now i’ll begin round 2. So i built it’s electronic logging system today. It logs temperature and voltage of three different setups. I’m trying to solve one of the biggest problems with MFC biosensing, the temperature problem. So I plan on building a machine learning algorithm after this research.

For research, i’ve collected pond dirt and water, three identical tubs and different electrode material to test. The electronic setup will log data in a google sheet. In my round 1 of research, I did the same but with industrial materials as well, to test charcoal’s viability, I logged voltages manually in round 1, but found many interesting findings that aren’t really on the net.

Devlog #3 - Rebuilt PCB because I added way more components and went over the board size limit that is mentioned in mission.
Now the PCB is finished.

Now building the case and writing the firmware is left.

My previous PCB was a hell to wire, especially with the 2 layer limit they have.

My 3 hour timelapse session just crashed because lapse couldnt load it i guess. Im kind of demotivated right now, but the next post will be on my comeback. AND MAN I REALLY WANT THAT 3D PRINTER. I WILL GET THAT.

I finally learned how to build a PCB and the case for my macropad from hackclub tutorials, gotta learn firmware now.
