MSP430 Wireless Weather Station
Contrary to popular belief, Arduino is not the only microcontroller I use for projects. I often program Atmega 8-bit CPUs in C for my research, I’ve played with PICs at various jobs, and I’ve also worked with Parallax Basic Stamp and Propeller chips. This semester, I added the TI MSP430[…]
e14 Blog Post: Engineering as a Collaborative Art Form
Time for another post on the element14 Do-It-Together Blog! I’ll assume you’ve already read my inaugural post. My latest post calls for continuing collaboration between artists and engineers. This is a topic that I’ve been exploring a lot over the last 2 years. I’ve started getting more interested in this since enrolling[…]
Inspiring Kids at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum
I hope all of you celebrated Earth Day this past Friday! Last week was Earth Week at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum in New York City, and I headed down there for 3 days with other members of Cornell University’s Sustainable Design Team to teach kids about ways they could be[…]
My TV Debut: SudoGlove on the Discovery Channel!
This project was featured on the Amp Hour Podcast on 4/18/2011 <Video Removed because The Discovery Channel made a Copyright Claim> :( If you thought I could only use the SudoGlove to drive RC cars and make music (depending on your definition of music), then you’re wrong! It appears that[…]
I’m a Writer on the e14 Do-It-Together Blog!
Did you want more blog posts from me? Well you’re in luck, because I’m now a contributing writer for element14’s new “Do-It-Together” Blog! I’ll be posting on anything and everything relating to engineering, technology, and science. But I’m not the only writer! There’s a ton of great talent contributing to[…]
What am I doing? CUSD!
CUSD = Cornell University Sustainable Design. Ever wonder why I sometimes don’t respond to emails for a long time? Or why I can’t release videos every week? CUSD is the reason. It’s my bread and butter at Cornell – far more important to me than any of the classes I’m[…]
Tutorial 11 for Arduino: SD Cards and Datalogging
This is my first in a series of more advanced Arduino tutorials. Now that we’ve covered the basics in tutorials 1-10 (you have watched them all right!?), it’s time to start pursuing some more complex projects! In this episode, we’ll utilize an SD card shield from cooking-hacks.com to create a[…]
SudoSynth – Making “Music” with the SudoGlove
This project was featured on Hackaday.com on 3/26/2011 This project was featured on Synthtopia.com on 3/28/2011 I had to put “music” in quotation marks, since I’m using a pretty loose definition. I do not consider myself to be a musical person, but I do love music and I’ve always been extremely interested[…]
Processing-Based SudoGlove Visual Debugger
SudoGlove Visual Debugging Software As I mentioned in a previous post, I recently presented the SudoGlove Control System at Cornell’s BOOM Competition. I was concerned (rightly so) that I wouldn’t be able to drive the RC car around much due to the large amount of foot traffic for the event.[…]
SudoGlove Original Driving Trial – Uncut Footage
This one is coming out of the archives! Below is a video of one of the first full length trial runs we did with the SudoGlove Control System. I put it up on my secondary youtube channel, which I’m planning to start using more as a place for bonus content[…]
