Future Project ideas
[MPO] – Mario Party Online
Idea: Build a mario party type game engine in Unity that can handle modular packs of custom minigames and custom maps
[YBR] – YouBionic Robot
Idea: I am going to build the YouBionic Robot using a ton of 3D Printed Parts and Servos
[UBB] – Used Battery Bank
Idea: Build a rechargeable battery system that can absorb the last bits of juice out of old disposable batteries, and keep a running total
[CRAB] – Ridable Crab Mech
Idea: Build increasingly large crab-type robots until I have a mech large enough to ride in
[MOON] – Moonshot Rocket
Idea: Launch a rocket at the moon
[PIG] – Pi Cruncher Unity Game
Idea: Unity Game where you compete to memorize & speedrun Pi with custom chunking. Pixel art, chiptunes, Anime girls, etc.
[BNM] – Breadnet Macropad
Idea: Breadnet Macropad to substitute/complement the Web UI of Node-RED

Idea: Build a Plasma Speaker, then build a Bluetooth Speaker, then put the two together
Past Projects - 2022
[SDO] – Site Design MiniOverhaul
Objective: Design a new Project Listing and Post Template for finished posts for the TreeSheets/Biweekly Timeboxing Era. Reformat the home page and the projects page. Update projects page with this year’s work so far.
[MKB] – Matcha Keyboard
Objective: Build a Redox mechanical keyboard to replace my old one and explore the craft
[ML2] – Mega Lights 2
Objective: Mount addressable LED strips to Megadesk and then design a power+control to get the system onto Breadnet

Objective: Build a Node-RED/MQTT system that is well documented and create a generic ESP32 script for quick connection
[NT] – MFOS Noise Toaster
Objective: Design and Build an Analog Synthesizer PCB & Enclosure based on MFOS designs
Past Projects - 2021
I basically rebuilt the entire printer from inside the hull. Modded everything I could find. Learned a lot.
Automated Cricket Breeding Chamber. Got thermals and humidity remotely monitored and controlled + Video feed. Initial Colony died due to poor ventilation. Needs a better backend to continue.
Old IoT Network. Powered by a Pi4, Node-RED, Mosquitto, and ESP8266. It’s better now.
A lab notebook written with PyFlask/Jinja in futaba format. Replaced by TreeSheets. Try TreeSheets!
I built Ben Eater’s 6502 breadboard computer.
Massive desk I handmade out of MDF. It’s a recreation of a desk I had years ago based on old designs I recently got ahold of. 8 feet wide, 4 feet deep, 2 surfaces.
Combined Digital-Theremin and Plasma-Theremin. Made for EE Capstone Project.
You’re on it!
An integrated portable IoT and Circuit prototyping station with electronically controlled GFCI outlets, WiFi-enabled Arduino Master/Slaves, Modular DC PSU, Raspberry Pi, storage space, and fun rainbow lights. Precursor to Breadnet
Fast Paced Technicolor Arcade Shooter. Written in PyGame in 2015.
