With you on this, haha. Big tech has heavily crowded the wearables space, with questionable intentions and uses of personal health data. Additionally, when doing research around kinetic / thermal energy harvesting technology for a wear

re: 12V automotive LV systems: it’s a little more nuanced than that. teslas cybertruck will be running a 48V LV system[1] and while relays fuses efuses and DCDC converters across the LV system have to be rated for higher voltages - you gain

My buddy and I solved the uMouse challenge for the final project in our college robotics course in ROS, with custom path planning and speed run and all… it was such a great feeling to see the mouse complete the maze. see code / deets h

I disagree. You’re getting caught in the semantics; the notion of 20 $5 coffees makes sense and is an easy and relatable way to reframe $100.

Yes. That is how biometric data works; if my finger gets cut off I can no longer unlock with touch ID on my iPhone. Wonder if they have a backup ID method of some sort or if it’s solely iris data

“When we came down to stay at the station starting in 2001, we brought everything with us: showers, toilets, generators, pumps, kitchen sink…” recalls Chris McKay, an astrogeophysicist at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, whose

A driver can be electrically modeled as a series resistor and inductor (very approximate model), I imagine that couldn’t be hard to add in.

Why use a micro at all? You could have implemented the entire circuit with a couple extra discrete components to reduce complexity.

Thanks for putting downloads behind a paywall.

Wonder if a program like this would be made available to students, or if there’s a way for students to get involved.

I'd imagine those are designed with keeping your focus on the road in mind, by doing things like limiting notifications to only incoming phone calls while you're driving

How common are programming languages designed with base languages other than english? This is the first one i’ve seen.

UAV futures is also a fun youtube channel to get started with and is a little less technical than joshua bardwell at first. to have your mind blown by experienced fpv pilots, check out Nurk FPV, Johnny FPV, Mr. Steele, and Rotor Riot. FPV i

That sounds pretty dope, check out corewars!

Yeah exactly - the key is having a strong advising network to make sure you’re on the right track throughout your time in undergraduate.

I’m currently an undergrad student considering studying robotics eng. at my university. (Olin College of Engineering) It depends on how the university structures their program, but for us it’s extremely open-ended, besides a few basic funda

[op here] - thanks for your kind words. This entire project really exposed us to some of the challenges of the edtech space - mainly how solving the problems of the current edu system and making an edu product that people want rarely actual

[op here] - thanks for the recommendation, we'll check out AntMe. In hindsight, Corewars was a stupidly hard game to try to teach the intricacies of in a few hours, and because it's based in Assembly it's also mostly irreleva

Yes it is... will have to give it a shot sometime!

[op here] - Yep, when we stumbled across this idea we really, really liked it... however, this appeared to be a really neat solution to a problem that didn't actually exist. Lots of profs are super busy with grading, securing tenure, r

Heyo - OP here, thanks for the kind words. Periodic reinforcement and having a video based / more interactive guide than just an embedded gdoc would all be super useful in helping kids learn faster and get to a competitive level quicke

Adi here - Thanks all for the advice, comments, support, and tips on ... not getting electrocuted(?)!! It's been a while since I've worked on the Corewars in India project so I'll answer some of your questions the best I can

We rebuilt Corewars and used it to teach Computer Science students in India(adinocap.com)
