I had a late start to this assignment, but now I’m working on using the loudness sensor I ordered. Ran into a couple roadblocks just setting up the Arduino to read the sensor, when I realized I had to short the VUSB pads at the bottom of my Arduino in order to enable the 5V…… Continue reading Week 10(?) – MQTT

Week 9 – Arduino Client
I tried to run the simple client code on my Arduino to communicate with my website http://www.biancasbread.com, and at first it would respond with a ‘301 moved permanently’ message, and I thought it was because I was trying to request through http and not https … ? So next, I tried to adjust the code…… Continue reading Week 9 – Arduino Client
Week 10(?) – 4-Axis Milling
So many steps !!!! I didn’t really know what I wanted to make for this skill builder, I thought about doing a tealight candle holder, just some kind of simple shape. Ended up drawing this curvy thing that I’ll probably end up drilling a hole into the side / top to fit some kind of…… Continue reading Week 10(?) – 4-Axis Milling
Week 8 – Node.js
To start, the goal is to get the simplest of simple node applications working on my local host. I followed the steps to create a project directory and install express. I tried to build off of the simpleServer example from class that would receive a query with a name and respond with a string of…… Continue reading Week 8 – Node.js
Week 7 (?) – More Turning
This week we have to turn a wooden mallet — consisting of a mallet head, handle, and pin. I purchased a pack of 2″ x 2″ x 12″ square blanks of lumber as well as a chunk of maple ambrosia that was 3″ x 6″ x 6″ that I cut down to about 3″ x…… Continue reading Week 7 (?) – More Turning
Week 7 – More Server Fun w/ Nginx
Next, I followed DigitalOcean’s guide “How To Secure Nginx with Let’s Encrypt”. The first issue I ran into was when I was trying to obtain an SSL certificate — I went back and realized I had to add another A DNS record with ‘www.biancasbread.com’ as I only had one directed to ‘biancasbread.com’. Once I successfully…… Continue reading Week 7 – More Server Fun w/ Nginx
Week 6 – Wood Lathe
This week’s skill builder was to turn on the wood lathe. Personally I have been really looking forward to finally learning how to use this tool. I’ve put my plans to make a bowl on hold for now and will make a handle for this week. I have a couple of blanks that I purchased…… Continue reading Week 6 – Wood Lathe
Mini Project – RF Roulette
I randomly had this idea the other night for a joke roulette / wheel of fortune for answers to questions my coworkers and I commonly get at work. This was a little trickier than I thought it’d be, mainly for the angular rotation and trigonometry. The wheel shuffles the choices every time the sketch refreshes.…… Continue reading Mini Project – RF Roulette
Week 6 – Nginx
I followed the “How To Install Nginx on Ubuntu” article on DigitalOcean– Next, I continued to follow the article through creating server blocks and a basic index.html page. However, so far I have gotten a “this site can’t be reached error”. In order to fix this issue, I need to actually connect my domain to…… Continue reading Week 6 – Nginx
