For some reason, I’m intrigued by LEDs. Indeed, they can be found in pretty much all of my projects. I was recently inspired by one of Greg Davill’s projects, a miniature LED cube boasting a total of 3456 LEDs. After pondering about it for a while, I decided I’d attempt building one myself. This post…… Continue reading Miniature 3456 LED cube

Building the uCurrent Gold
Recently, I have been developing a watch (miniature) version of ClockSquared. One of the main challenges for this device is to achieve good battery life while not making the watch excessively large or hard to use. This can be achieved by taking various power-saving measures that I will discuss in a future post, but what…… Continue reading Building the uCurrent Gold
Tracking aircraft using ADSB and Virtual Radar Server (VRS) on a Raspberry Pi
In this post, I will explain how I set up an ADS-B receiver station using a Raspberry Pi. I will also explain how to set up Virtual Radar Server (VRS), which is a visual display of the received and decoded aircraft data. I have set up my own Virtual Radar Server here. To set this…… Continue reading Tracking aircraft using ADSB and Virtual Radar Server (VRS) on a Raspberry Pi
M&Ms and Skittles sorting machine
External links: Reddit thread, Github project files, Imgur post. This project, the M&Ms and Skittles sorting machine, was on my to-do list for a long time. I finally managed to complete the project after working on it for several months in my free time. The machine uses an Arduino microcontroller, stepper motors, an RGB colour…… Continue reading M&Ms and Skittles sorting machine
ClockSquared, a wooden RGB LED word clock
Eight months ago, I built my first word clock, which garnered a lot of attention after putting it on the internet. This was pretty encouraging, so I continued development on an even better version of this clock. I think the efforts were succesful, and I call the result ‘ClockSquared’: a word clock that displays time…… Continue reading ClockSquared, a wooden RGB LED word clock
