  • Flicker Lamp

    Flicker Lamp

    This flicker lamp was created using a 3D printer and some hand wired circuitry. I modified the original print file to include a base that holds the batter and circuit board for the flickering LEDs. Then I drilled a hole between the base and globe portions using a step bit so that three LEDs could be hoisted into the globe. Each flickering LED is in series with a 330ohm resistor, and all three are power by one 9v battery. The LEDs are soldered to different lengths of solid wire to hold them aloft. I did not account for the cap that connects the 9v battery to the circuit board but luckily it fit just right with the cap on. Not a lot of engineering went into this build, mostly measuring the circuit board and battery to add the correct size base to fit everything.

  • Getting to Know Word Press

    Getting to Know Word Press

    I’m still getting to know word press. It took me a long time to decide to go this route. Originally I wanted to code the website for a public learning blog myself. After very many conversations with ChatGPT I landed on this option as it is the fastest way to get start posting entries. Getting something I generally liked the look of online took me about two hours overall. I found it difficult to get WordPress to give me a simple looking page and had to edit out many sections from the twenty twenty-five stock theme. I still need to flesh out the page with an about section, decide what to do with the FAQ and Author sections, and I have a list of things I want to write more detailed posts about as I get time. I have a backlog of completed projects that I would like to write retrospective posts for. That’s all for now.

    Hello to anyone who reads this, if anyone ever does. I intend to use this blog as a space to learn in public. Mostly in the areas of software development and electronics engineering. Right now in Dec. of 2024, I am a licensed master electrician, I have a B.S. in Electronic Engineering Technology, and I am currently working my way through the freeCodeCamp curriculum.
