About Me
I am a recent college grad with a BS in Applied Physics from SUNY Geneseo. I am interested in software development and electronics. During undergrad, the projects I enjoyed most were ones where I could either work with electroncs or write code. My goal now is to work on projects that broaden my knowledge in those fields. Hopefully with this I can either continue my education to either MS or PhD, and/or become an engineer in either of these fields.
Projects
LabVIEW Game
This is a project I worked on in 2019 in an undergraduate class using LabView.
The video explains most of the details of the project.
Arduino Tea AutoBrewer
This is a project I worked on in 2019 in an undergraduate class using an Arduino.
The video explains most of the details of the project.
Arduino/Raspberry Pi Weather Station
This is a project I worked on in 2020-2021, which unfortunately I didn't quite finish. Also unfortunately, since I was busy with finals before graduating, I forgot to document my work and left everything in a locked room somewhere at SUNY Geneseo. All I have left is a .ino file that I made in the early stages of the project.
I'll give a brief description of the project here:
I bought weather sensors off of sparkfun, along with its accompanying weather sheild. I connnected these to an arduino and ran some code which collected data and spit it out in the serial monitor periodically. I had the arduino connected and being powered by a raspberry pi. On the pi, I wrote a python script that would take the data coming out of the serial monitor and write it to a text file. Then, using a program called WeeWX to collect the data. I used a method in WeeWX called "fileparse" which basically takes the data from the text file and sends it to a server. This data is then presented on a local site using WeeWX's default interface using apache.
I had more plans for the project but this is where I left off. Later plans included adding support to the station so it would last in more severe weather conditions, connecting it to a battery, solar panel, and possibly some other software improvements to get more data or improve the interface.
Twitter Bot
This is a twitter bot that posts images every hour from the subreddit /r/ooer.
Most of the posts are complete nonsense; I just wanted to learn how to make a bot in python using twitter and reddit api.
Here's the link to the actual twitter bot page.
