TINKERING WITH ELECTRONICS
Documentation. The bane of many a project. From lab reports, to field trip reports, to hackathon reports, to work reports – documentation in any shape or form is a nightmare for most. Unless we aren’t the ones coming up with the documentation 😉. While documenting a project may not cause one to leap up in…
For the past couple of weeks I have been doing a lot of self learning. I describe self learning as learning outside of a formal school environment. It’s a rather vague description, but let’s just go with that for now.So I’ve been taking a course on Machine Learning, taking some OCW classes and also just…

This has been a pretty successful strategy more often than not. However, this wasn’t the case when I needed to get the HS420361K-32 4 digit 7 segment display to work….
My second post when I started this blog was about my choice of a prototyping board to explore, and I started out with an Arduino. Back then, one of my arguments for choosing the Arduino over the Raspberry Pi was cost. While the cost factor hasn’t changed all that much, I managed to get myself…
I had a conversation with my brother a while back where I was trying to pick his brain on how someone could figure out a problem(s) to solve using engineering techniques. My brother was a pretty solid candidate to pick since he’s an engineer, (yes this is a family of engineering kids, parents sought their…
