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

I have built lots of water rockets since, and their performance has been improving steadily. I also did research on the flight characteristics of…… Continue reading Water rockets
