Software Dev. I like to build things.
V2 of the homemade trading cards. I put a coat of this gloss gel on the card which gave it a much better finish and feel than laminating did. Thoughts?

I had this idea for making custom/personalized trading cards. This is my first attempt at a proof of concept. I printed on some thick, 110 lb paper and laminated a front and back together. I also put a NFC sticker in the middle so you can hold the card up to your phone and it will open a link

The digital etch-a-sketch is finished! This was such a fun little project. Would love to make a v2 with several improvements… Now I just need a 3D-printer 👀

Some very janky soldering, but the digital etch-a-sketch is coming together! Follow to see the finished product!

I’ve had this idea for awhile of making a digital etch-a-sketch. Starting to put it together now with my arduino knowledge.

A little practice with servos… I’ve finished the intro to arduino book!

Learned how to map analog inputs to digital outputs with PWM pins. Made a theremin thingy with a photoresistor and a buzzer 😀

Been making some slow, but good progress through my beginner electronics book. Made this fun little diddie.

First circuit!

I would really like to get into some more hardware projects, so my plan is to start with this beginners book on the Arduino. It’s very beginner friendly, but I think it’ll be good to nail down some fundamentals. Fun to get out of software land for a bit⚡️

New feature alert! 🚨
I’ve added the ability to filter blog posts by tag. Check it out at wilsonstaley.dev! I think I’m almost done adding new features to the new blog for now. Are there any new features you want to see?

The code block syntax highlighting on the blog was a bit janky on mobile. So I went back and refactored it using rehype-highlight. I think it’s looking good now!
