For my freeform project in Energy I have been working to consolidate what I learned from replacing the firmware on my Tuya based smart plug into a GitHub repository. I have titled the repo Tuya-Ardiuno and it is online here.
This was my first time creating my own GitHub repository so I have been learning a lot about the process.
As part of the repository I have provided two example Arduino sketches, one that connects to Blynk.io and another to Adafruit.io.
Over the last week I have made considerable of progress on my Solar powered fractal tree. Enclosure The bamboo plywood from Inventables arrived! Mai Claro, Daniel Ryan, Benjamin Moll, and a number of other ITP students helped to get me up and running for my first time on the laser cutter. I cut initially out […]
For my final project in The Nature of Code and Energy I am constructing a fractal plant, running on Arduino, that will reside on an e-paper display and be powered by the sun. Over the last few weeks I have made progress sourcing components and getting the basic circuitry assembled following my previous post with […]
While developing the concept for my final project, a solar powered virtual plant, I have been considering whether integrating a genetic algorithm would be useful. Already I have been planning to include some randomness to the generation of fractal trees through a random seed, however lets take a moment here to explore how a genetic […]
