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[…]
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[…]
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[…]
Workbench of the Week!?
My Lab workbench was featured on “The Amp Hour: Episode 30” on 02/15/11 A few weeks ago, I discovered the totally awesome Amp Hour Podcast. I even blogged about its awesomeness! Anyways, they have a segment on the show called workbench of the week, and I figured I’d send in[…]
Cornell University Sustainable Design
This has been a busy semester! After working on Cornell’s entry into the 2009 Solar Decathlon Competition, several of the team members and I determined that we had the power to do something really amazing with the knowledge we had gained and resources we have available to us at Cornell. […]
Ignite Ithaca 2010
Watch the Live Stream of the Event! Enlighten Us. But make it quick! That’s the motto of the Ignite Speaker series. The premise is that a bunch of presenters go up in front of an audience, and talk about something cool. Each person gets 5 minutes, and 20 slides that[…]
Cornell Solar Decathlon at the NY State Fair and Beyond
This past Thursday marked the start of my sophomore classes at Cornell University. I’ve decided that I’m going to affiliate with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Major, and I’m also hoping to pursue a business minor. However, classes have not been at the front of mind recently; instead, I’ve been[…]
HTPC a la Cornell Solar Decathlon
Unlike many of my other builds, I wouldn’t consider this one to be an “ultimate computer“. The Cornell University Solar Decathlon Engineering Controls Team had something different in mind for this computer. As I’ve mentioned in some previous posts, Solar Decathlon is a team at Cornell that is building a[…]
Back Up to Cow Country
So tonight will be last night for quite a while that I’ll get to sleep in my comfy bed, as I’ll be heading back up to Cornell University for the Spring Semester tomorrow (actually, I guess it’s today since I’m writing this late at night). As far as courses go,[…]
