After 14 or so years, finally cancelling my paid dropbox sub. Literally every time I refresh the website I get this upsell.

This was my most popular blog article that was on setting up Jenkins. It had stable traffic for 4 years prior to this.

It's still pretty weird to see AI people claim that LLMs aren't destroying web traffic. Let's play a game: Guess when ChatGPT launched:

Good point, I have a USB tester that says 12v is supported with qc3.0, but it won't tell me what voltages PD supports, I'll just have to see what happens. Worst case I can adjust some of the electronics to use 9v or 15v. There's already a regulator to give 5v to Rpi and MCU, it's just the steppers.

I want to get back on my telescope, and reviewing some of the pain points.
Setting up power for a test outside at night is pretty annoying.
I know absolute peak draw is under 40watts, and real world measured draw is 17 watts.
Enter this amazing thing.
I can run it for 3 hours off a power bank!

New kubernetes lab! 5x Pi Zero 2w's. Been wanting to deep dive it for a while, and this is a nice isolated environment to mess around with k3s.

Why did they choose such dramatically different lighting/color correction for a DLSS example? DLSS 4 looks good, but their demo video is a bit deceptive.

After nearly burning out my Raspberry Pi5 and laptop the other day I've setup a sacrificial pi zero 2 W to wirelessly reprogram microcontrollers when working on new prototypes.

Last entry of the night. Best I can do at this time of night. Little DC motor in a hollowed out lemon. #yarrbooty

Ode to Makers: Weird wizards of circuitry & code, crafting contraptions with soldering irons aglow. Laser cutters weave reality, 3D printers conjure dreams. Arduino flames burn bright, guiding innovation's bizarre waltz #MakersUnite #WeirdAndWonderful #yarrbooty

Some test footage of Vigo rotating his head to all the extents. This is straight from Godot. I generated a depth map of the painting, then masked out the head, painted some extra details on the face and then rotate around the top of the neck directly in the shader.

A few months ago my brother and I made this virtual bike experience for a family member. Used a cheap off the shelf mini bike for physiotherapy by replacing the trip computer with an ESP32.
The playback speed is adjusted based on the pedaling. The dots on the screen show current and target speed.

I just brought my Formula Pi autonomous racer back to life! This was such a fun competition when it was running.
Now running the latest Raspberry Pi OS. Raspberry Pi 3, RPi Camera and 4 big motors direct driving wheels. A solid platform! What should I do with it next?

I'm working on an automatic telescope! This project has been happening slowly in the background for about a year now. The goal is to have the platform automatically align itself, allow you to choose a target to image, and then it will capture images and automatically stack and post process them.

I worked with Sam on this. I did the lighting. Fun fact: The roots of the code are actually the fluorescent lighting code from Quake 1! I ported it to python and then offset a few of the LEDs in the sequence to give it that pulsating effect.

Made a haunted frame for Halloween! It features Vigo The Carpathian from Ghostbusters 2. Made it with some others that I do a weekly makers space with. Frame is 3D printed with some painting. I handled the software. Uses Godot, Python and YOLO to track people and look at them constantly.

I'm Philip, I'm a game dev that works with Unreal. I enjoy making things with Arduino and Raspberry Pis. I'll be sharing some of my projects here soon. Expect to see things on AI, Unreal, Godot, 3D printing, Astrophotography and more! Looking to follow people with similar interests.
