Outside of the day job I've been tinkering with (too) many micromobility projects. I've been working on a series of weight-sensing-controlled skateboards, and this summer started working on an ebike project (https://metromotive.com/blog/2021/06/18/inertial-electric-assist.html https://metromotive.com/blog/2021/06/18/inertial-electric-as...) and a OneWheel-style vehicle (but with two wheels).
This winter I'm hoping to design a new PCB layout for an open-source motor controller, but it's been a nightmare getting parts even in quantities of one or two.
Coding-wise, I've got a bunch of projects that I'm kind of purposely not pursuing because the above is more fun and less like my day job:
- A connected "open" sign app for small businesses (connect a TV or use an old iPad, or an IoT plug switch). Collect and sell real-time data.
- Nutrition info for meals that aren't in a database (e.g. independent restaurants, modified recipes, box lunches), encoded in a URL-like format/QR code (https://nut.codes https://nut.codes)
- A white noise app that tells time (https://www.halfbakery.com/idea/White_20Noise_20Clock https://www.halfbakery.com/idea/White_20Noise_20Clock)
