Going back to an old Stats project I was working on. Does some basic analysis for a csv dataset, but not much more. I figure I can turn this into something I can go to to do any type of analysis for any data. Started out by doing some planning on how I’ll improve the project and having AI make a nice frontend for it. The main plan for the short-term future will be separating the current features (heatmap, numerical table, categorical table, and 2-column comparison) into distinct areas such that I can more easily add more features in the future. Perhaps even add some AI creation futures. Anything you can do with data!

Tried to make the CAD for the alarm clock in Onshape. Didn’t make a lot of progress, because I’ve never done CAD before, but I eventually managed to make the walls and have the PCB and display in place.

Finished making the PCB! Getting a .step file for the GW Switches was the hardest part so far lol (other than finding + installing all the software). Making PCB boards is super satisfying! Hopefully the CAD will be just as fun!

My Slack Bot is done! The bot provides 3 commands: ping, discover, and help. The ping and help command are trivial, and the discover command lets you search for the latest 25 arXiv papers for the topic you search for! It reuses an old API I made in Python a while back, but I had to learn to implement it in Node.js to use it. I am still new to slack, so the demo URL just points to the bot-spam channel, where hopefully the bot will work for someone other than me. Use /pancakeheads-bot-help to get started

Got the Slack Bot working! It successfully uses an arXiv discover API of mine that I built a while back and integrates it using child_process in Node.js. It took a bit of time to debug why the JSON parsing was failing, but then I found an old print() statement where it shouldn’t be! Use /pancakeheads-bot-help to get started!

This project is a physical memory game using an Arduino Uno. The software was built with PlatformIO, so compiling and flashing the source code onto an actual Arduino Uno is done through PlatformIO. This is the first project I got working without following a tutorial, and is the start of my electronics journey!

Just finished making the Arduino-Memory-Game production-ready! I added a BOM.csv, made it’s own personal Github Repo, wrote the README.md, added a demo.mp4, cleaned up the repository, and now it’s ready to be shipped! Get the parts, follow the instructions, and you could have yourself a physical copy!

Finished my Arduino Memory Game project! This is my second Arduino designing experience, where I was able to get most of it working myself. Now I know exactly how pullup-resistors work and what they do, how buttons and breadboards work, and some C++ conventions! Excited to make a humanoid robot, a spaceship, and a Dyson sphere next! cool beans!
