In this devlog i will cover how to communicate through serial I am by no means a good software dev but after many long nights of banging my head against the wall i think i have somewhat of a decent system and understanding of this topic Speaking Serial In my last devlog i mentioned the idea of running complex programs on toaster level components by using a wire and a computer, this wire is communicating through a serial bus, which is simply a pathway that communicates information or bits through a single channel, emphasize on the idea of the single channel. So first we have to establish the serial and how its gonna operate. During this entire log all info will be in c++ and python. Arduino Section(c++) #include <Arduino.h> #include <SPI.h> void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); } Pc Side(python) from serial import Serial import time def connect(port): try: serial = Serial(port.device, baudrate=115200, timeout=1) time.sleep(3) So some things to note, set the baud rate for both connections the exact same. Baudrate is essentially the speed of transfer a higher baudrate means faster communication, which in turn needs a stronger wire/cpu to process more info faster. in addition ensure on the pc side after opening the serial connection to add a delay you need to let the micro controller reset and settle its connection. Communication From here you need a way to actually communicate, say you have a simple keyboard and its connected to your computer and a user presses a button which is gonna open steam, unfortunately its not smart to just send a serial message to open steam as each character/Letter depending on the encoding can contain multiple bits which each need to be streamed through the serial and received by the pc. So its best to setup a pallet of commands both sides know what each command is and the command is simply just a single bit. Commands Arduino enum Command : uint8_t { CMD_HANDSHAKE = 0x00, CMD_HANDSHAKE_ACK = 0x01, CMD_HEARTBEAT = 0x02, CMD_DRAW_IMAGE = 0x03 }; To differentiate commands: void resolveCMD(uint8_t cmd, uint8_t display) { switch (cmd) { case CMD_DRAW_IMAGE: #code case CMD_HANDSHAKE: #code } } Commands can be expanded up to 256 different types, with each one still taking one byte. Now in this scope the computer or arduino send the command through the serial and the other side just does it, heavy lifting stuff is typically done on the pc for example loading and storing the images i want to display (here’s the snippet for that): from PIL import Image img = Image.open(base_dir / folder / img_filename) width, height = img.size pixels - img.load() while True: #check for arduino ready state packet = bytearray() #append display, width, height to packet self.manager.write(packet) buffer = bytearray() for y in range(height): for x in (width): r,g,b = pixels[x,y] rgb565 = (((r & 0xF8)<<8|((g & 0xFC) <<3\\(b >> 3)) buffer.extend(rgb565.to_bytes(2, \"big\") #when buffer is above 512 len send to arduino Unfortunately i am close to the character limit and i hate reading long stuff so i dont want to go on a yapathon. If this is the type of devlogs people like my next one will go heavy in to depth on running a good queue, which plays in turn with the serial, making it more efficient and allowing a more complex system. Check out my git hub ( https://github.com/Cunning077/HackPad ) as well, all the code for this project is there im terrible at documentation but if it can provide a example or help or if you want to help me i would be very grateful.

To start i need to define the limitations, for one in the final version of this project there will be 6 240x240 displays, each display having 57,600 pixels, which amounts to around about 1.105 Mib, for reference the Arduino Uno has 32Kb of flash. So i definitely cant just send raw c files for the pixels and simply load then through the Arduino, But why don’t i just load the c files onto a SD card and simply just have the Arduino stream the pixels from the SD card to the display, well i can but who wants to deal with the hassle of loading a SD card and putting it back into whatever contraption i come up with for a case, One of the main pillars of this project was to make it as easy as possible to customize what you want the hackpad to do and i find it to risky to assume anyone can find the SD card and load it properly without problem, i for one cant stand SD cards especially the breakout board readers. So here’s where i reveal the big solution, the world changing revolutionary problem solving out of this world solution: Im gonna stream the data through serial. Essentially the Arduino (or whatever micro controller i use) will simply be a receiver and the host computer will be a sender. Now this introduces some limitations for example you can only send data so fast especially when your wire is bad, additionally im not sure what type of strain this will put on the hosts computer, while im also not sure how im gonna handle multiple events, but indue time i will flush out these problems and implement something that will surely make sense. This Log is way shorter than my last and doesn’t really offer any insight or helpful information so i apologize but if you haven’t read my last one i attempted to instruct how to build the prototype displays i think its very informative and also maybe you can steal this project and actually make it good.

So i wanted to simulate most of the important factors like the 74HC138 circuit i would use to control the 6 TFT display boards, while also checking whether 3.3v would properly power the board, in addition i plan to run tests to see in the current design how much power pull will be pulled from the computer to power the hackpad. Included in this is also instructions on how to build the full protoboard which can very easily be expanded to include up to 8 TFT displays. This prototype version doesnt include switches which will be next weeks addition including building the foundational code for the entire board. Instructions To begin i first put in each component of the board: 2x TFT 1.28 inch Display 1x 74HC138N circuit 1x Arduino Uno R3 Each component besides the Arduino can be found in the first accompanying image with the round board being the TFT display and the rectangle box being the 74HC138N circuit, not shown is the Arudino Uno i believe any mainstream microcontroller can be used for this, just follow the pins. Power Management From there its best to start on power management utilizing the rails on the breadboard i connect the Arduino Unos 3v3 pin and any gnd pin to the respective holes on the board. In total i use 5 positive wires and 6 negative wires. The TFT boards power management setup is straight forward follow the writing on the board, however the more difficult section is the 74HC138 which in total needs 4 separate power wires. To start wiring it find the tiny hole on the actual circuit itself its a little divot in the box, 3 pins down from the top pin on the side of the divot is E0, which the next two pins below it is E1 and E2. These control the setting of the controller, to achieve the setting we want we need to wire E0 as low or GND E1 as low and E2 as high or 3V3, from E2 skip the next pin going down from E2 and the final pin on the left side of the controller is the GND pin. Finally the last pin needed is the pin to the right of the little divot mentioned earlier this is the VCC. TFT Logic The next step is where the wiring gets almost unbearable (jumper cables am i right), this is the logic section where the tft boards pins will all be filled up. To start in a section of the breadboard where the is no other connections to the column of holes we need to create our own bus. We need 4: RST DC SDA (SCK) SCL (MOSI) To create the bus just connect 3 wires in the same column these wires will now share the same electrons. from there simply connect the the first wire of the column doesnt matter which direction it just is best to make sure its the first one in that column. The pin for the arduino is as follows: RST - Reset DC - 9 SDA - 11 SCL - 13 Make sure to connect the wires in that bus to the pin of the tft board it corresponds to 74HC138 Logic The final step is the logic for the 74HC138 circuit which requires 3 digital pins which handle the selection of the outgoing pin to the CS. To start the 2nd pin on the left of the divet in the circuit is A0 the next 2 pins are A1 and A2 each of these pins need to be given a digital pin i wired it to pin 7, 6 and 5 i believe any pin would do. Lastly the 6 pins below the VCC and the pin above GND are the actual output pins these can be wired to the cs of the tft displays to allow information to flow and commands. Simply wire Y0 and Y1 which are the first two pins below the VCC to one displays CS and the other to another CS.

Devlog 1 Finished schematic and imports. This is the start of me making my very own hack pad! I imported the care package and installed KiCad, Lapse, and lookout, so everything is working smoothly now. I had some trouble with the default KiCad files but I managed to import all of them manually. Going to start working on the PCB now!
Devlog 2 Worked on the cad part of my hackpad. I made the case for the hackpad using Onshape. I know that I have to make it my own, but I’m just following the guide for now, and I’m going to change stuff later.
Devlog 3 Made my PCB Made my PCB following the guide but then I decided to change it to be my own. So I scrapped everything and started again. I added 9 keys and wired it all. I left space for an OLED screen or something on the top left, that I’m going to add later.
Devlog 4 Big update. I’m now fully done with the PCB! I added LEDs, and and OLED screen. Finished wiring everything too. Hopefully I just need to code firmware now and design the case.
Devlog 5 Finished the case. Made a simple case for then PCB to sit in. Added a cutout for the USB, OLED screen and the keys. Might still add a design or something in the top right above the microcontroller. Need to code firmware now.
Devlog 6 Made the basic firware for the hackpad. Started to make the firmware in VSCode. So far I have made a version with just the keys coded. Still need to add the LEDs and OLED screen.
Devlog 7 Ready to submit! I finished the firmware, and I’m ready to submit. I also decided to add some diodes to the PCB for each key. So I had to change a lot, including the case. But I am done now and everything is set up in my Github repository for submiting.
Finally done with the HackPad! So I finished soldering the PCB and everything works fine! I also printed the case and put everything together. I just need to ship now!
Ships:
SV - Deck This is my very own HackPad, SV - Deck. SV - Deck has a XIAO RP2040, 4 SK6812MINI-E LEDs, 9 switches, and an OLED display. I made this macropad mainly for gaming and simple shortcuts that I use regularly. I made the PCB in KiCad, the firmware using QMK, and the case with Onshape. It was pretty challenging because this is my first real hardware project, making things . But I got through it and I’m very happy with the outcome. It was a really great experience, thank you!...

DEVLOG 1: Any opinions on the model? I’d like some feedback on the model: I am building the chassis for a robot designed to help address the global problem of pests destroying crops worldwide. The robot aims to tackle this issue by monitoring crops to detect signs of infestation and alerting the farmer.
DEVLOG 2: Hi everyone! For those following the progress on my little robot: I’ve made it lighter. I wanted to show you my work and hopefully get some advice. In my previous post, people mentioned I should change the proportions, but the robot has size limitations, so I’m working within a somewhat small frame.
DEVLOG 3: Hi! Today I used generative design to make the chassis lighter and stronger, thereby reducing printing time. I’d love for you to leave comments with suggestions on how to improve it.
HOLIWISS ,I’m back again with an update. I’ve installed some of the hardware: a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and its camera module, along with servos for movement and some yellow TT motors BYEEEE.
HOLIWISSSSSSSS everyone! It took me a while to bring you new updates, but here I am. Today, I created so many versions of the Rizo body using generative design to find the best one, and this is how it turned out: it weighs just 466 grams and can support loads of up to 6 kilograms—or even a bit more. Please let me know if you have any questions, and if you like the project, feel free to leave a comment or hit the like button. That’s all for now—good luck with your own projects!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
HOLIWISS GUYSS !!!!!!! RIZO V2.5.3 — Development Update 🚀 I think this has officially become a habit. Today, I’m introducing RIZO V2.5.3 . For this iteration, I redesigned the body and separated it into two main sections , aiming to improve the robot’s overall stability and flexibility. Since RIZO doesn’t use a conventional suspension system, I’m using generative design to shape the chassis around the way the robot actually interacts with the terrain. It’s still a work in progress, but the structure is slowly starting to take shape. What’s new: 🛠️ Two-part body design for improved stability 🧩 Generative-designed chassis 📐 Ongoing structural optimization 📡 Sensor mounting points coming next 🔌 Dedicated ESP32-S3 mount to be added 📷 Pan-and-tilt mount for the Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 in development There’s still a lot to refine, but each iteration is getting RIZO a little closer to the final design. RIZO V2.5.3—still building, still iterating.
Hi everyone, how are you doing? To be honest, I’m getting a bit tired of posting updates. I’ll try to post one today, but uploading 3D modeling content every day is becoming mentally draining. I hope I can keep up the pace and not let you down. If I don’t post a major update tomorrow, I hope you can still appreciate the hard work involved. Anyway, I hope you like my project; follow me for future updates, as I’ll be sharing news about the robot soon.
Who is this? 😭😭😭😭😭😭
HOLIWISSS! Today I worked on the mount for my laptop motherboard, which will serve as the new brain for my robot. In case anyone is wondering which laptop it is: it’s a 2019 HP Pavilion with a Ryzen 5 processor, 12GB of RAM, and Vega 8 graphics. I’d love to hear any recommendations on how to keep the motherboard stable, as I’m not quite sure how to power it within my UGV.
HOliWisSs, it’s been a while since I posted any updates. I was tired, but I’m back now. You’re looking at OpenCV and how the robot’s camera detects objects.
HOLAAA AMIGOS, I took some time to build the camera system for the RIZO robot. I hope you like it.
HOLIWWWISSS everyone, we’re back with daily updates. This time, as is customary for the project, I decided to redesign the robot to make it easier to print. I hope you like it; this is version 2.6.1.
LET’S KEEP WORKING ON RIZO!!!!!!!! Guys, this post originally said I was moving the project to a different platform, but since Stardance is staying up for a few more days, I’ll continue posting RIZO here. Thanks for everything, guys—love you all.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
こんにちは、みんな (hello everyone)! Today I’m sharing an upgrade for RIZO. We’re currently on version 2.6.2, and to optimize the weight, I wanted to blend an open, adaptable design style with a touch of generative design—getting the best of both worlds. This is the preliminary design to house the Raspberry Pi 3B+, camera, servos, and ESP32-S3, as well as a screen where RIZO can display its beautiful little face. Thanks to everyone for your unwavering support and for making RIZO a REAL project.
RIZO V2.7 is finally here—from every angle. HOLIWISS FRIENDS!! My star project has finally reached version 2.7, friends, and it’s truly impressive. Aesthetically, it looks a bit simple, so I’m going to add some style without sacrificing functionality—which is one of the hardest parts of my job. As you know, RIZO is an ambitious project that is gradually taking shape; it has changed a lot across the various versions. I’ve prioritized a compact size and low weight, and this version won’t fall short in that regard, with some further weight reductions still in the works. That’s all for now; I’ll keep working on RIZO so you can see further progress.
HOLIWISSS FRIENDSSS! Today I put a lot of work into the new body for RIZO (version 2.7). I significantly improved its durability, made the robot much lighter, and made it easier to handle. I took the time to custom-fit everything so that components like the motors, BTS7960 drivers, and 18650 batteries fit perfectly. Just a few small details remain before moving on to version 2.8—and the near-final version 2.9. We’re getting very close to 2.9, so stay tuned! Thanks for the support; to all my followers, you truly inspire me to make this project a reality. Thanks for everything—I hope you like the final result.
HOLIWISSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!, today I finished version 2.7.2, and I also happened to come across the very first version of RIZO. It’s crazy to see how much I’ve learned in just five months since I first installed Fusion 360. It really was a wild ride—looking back at my early projects, the very first thing I did after installing the software was build a Formula SAE chassis. I tend to be a bit over-ambitious and jump straight into the hardest tasks, but now, with just five months of experience, I’m able to build a robot.
RIZO V2.7.2 RENDERR!!!!!!!!!!! Any opinions?...

I’m working on an architectural 3D design where you can upload your floor plan and edit it. Currently I did the Homepage and I’m working on being able to upload your floor plan.
In the video, I’ve made it to be able to upload your floor plan by drag and drop or simply clicking like what was shown in the video. I’ve faced some errors with branches mixing up. Also, next step will be hosting images.
Added a Projects list section, so everything is saved under that. I’ve been dealing with a bunch of errors that I’m fixing, took me time to find that specific error. Working on Hosting-Images in a branch and thinking of other ideas to come up with. This is my first big project that I did, so that may be the reason I’m facing many problems. However, everything is going good so far. Hope it becomes good when I have the end webpage.
I Implemented project persistence and retrieval functionality by introducing hosting utilities for image uploads, a project creation action that prepares and saves project data with hosted assets, enables dynamic project listing on the home page, and updates the visualizer to consume project state from router navigation. I faced multiple Errors where when I drag n drop a PNG file the loading freezes which took time to fix but made it work. The goal is to create a whole 3D architectural render of this boring 2D design. and also design this page itself and make it nicer.
A new AI-powered 3D visualization feature is introduced with fetchAsDataUrl and generate3DView functions in lib/ai/action.ts that integrate with puter.ai for image generation. The Visualizer route is enhanced with state management, automatic generation flow, and a complete UI redesign including navigation, project metadata render area and loading states.
This pull request introduces a backend project management system via a new Puter worker module that provides REST APIs for persisting, listing, and retrieving design projects. The frontend is updated to load projects on startup, handle project creation with persistence, and enable navigation between project visualization with stateful project data. Next, I’m planning on doing a comparison between before and after.
The pull request adds image export functionality and a before/after comparison slider to the visualizer route, expands WebP upload support, and introduces the react-compare-slider dependency.

One example was an attempt to resolve a CORS Access-Control-Allow-Methods header, which took so long to debug.
WHAT’S NEW: Not everyone has a floor plan image lying around, so I added a full drawing canvas using tldraw. You can now sketch a layout freehand, with shapes and text, then hit “Generate 3D Render” and it feeds straight into the same AI pipeline as an uploaded image. I recently discovered that my style picker feature (Modern/Minimalist/Industrial/Luxury) created random styled images as opposed to rendering the correct object from the actual floor plan and thus would just replace my existing prompt with a new one capable of producing an appropriate render.

Still need to improve upon the Minimalist-style image as it still looks so close to the other styles due to its similarity with the original base aesthetic.

Resolved issues regarding the progress bar which was working incorrectly. Introduced a new authorization guard to prevent unauthorized people from causing authentication issues upon webpage loading. Added a silent worker ping to ensure that the Puter worker is awake prior to requests and thereby eliminate cold starts with multiple CORS errors and 404s during access of community pages.

Spent this session tracking down a login bug that had been bugging me - turns out a security header on my site was quietly blocking the auth popup from talking back to the app, so users had to refresh after signing in for it to actually register. Fixed that, then made the upload box actually prompt you to sign in instead of just… doing nothing when you’re logged out. After that I gave the whole site a real visual identity instead of the generic AI-startup look it had - leaned into a blueprint/drafting theme since it fits an architecture tool, ditched the soft gradient blobs for a grid background, and rebuilt all the buttons with a chunky neo brutalist shadow style. Also added dark mode from scratch - toggle in the navbar, remembers your preference, styled across every page - and caught a dumb bug along the way where one page’s card was using the wrong color variable and turned into an unreadable white blob in dark mode. Fun catch.
I decided to change the complete look of this website to something that feels a bit more housy vibe. and made the dark mode into green colored. fixed a bug for generating because each user has a limit, so this time once you reach your limit you will get a message.

built the PCB yesterday and had a bit of trouble figuring out the offset thing for the rectangle. I gotta figure out how to put the accomodating holes tho
Mostly done making the case, am curious tho whether the usb cutout is supposed to be for a specific usb port, the guide is NOT clear at all
Took me genuinely FOREVER to find the SW_CHERRY_MX_1.00U.step file, also really tricky with the usb c hole for the case
Can you believe I had to completely redesign this from the beginning, but at least it looks a lot better now, I forgot to activate lapse quite a few times so a good bit wasnt recorded but we move, I just need to figure out the firmware
Finally got to the firmware and decided to calm myself down and take a break. Took a good while to figure out a lick of what the stuff means on here and I’m still not sure I perfectly get it, But its something which beats nothing...

last one for this round, added a theme switcher to the desktop. there’s a new [*] button in the taskbar that cycles through three color schemes: ember (the original orange, default), phosphor (green, classic crt terminal look), and cyber (blue). clicking it swaps the accent color across the whole desktop. window borders, highlights, the terminal cursor, and even the living mascot’s glowing eye all shift to match, since they were already built on a shared accent variable. it resets back to ember on reload, so you always start from the default look. architecture-wise this was a clean one to slot in. the theme logic is a small standalone module (just a list of themes and a “next theme” function), same pattern as the window manager and mascot logic, so it’s unit tested without needing a browser.

I’ve got the basics sorted, a laid out plan and have started the menu. My main highlight so far has been getting the file checking working, so it greets the user by it’s name if they have it stored in the user data file and otherwise it catches it rather than crashing on FileNotFoundError.
I completely forgot to do development logs!! So frustrated but I will try to name my progress over the 8 hours of work. I have recorded what the game does now, it doesn’t work on most boundary cases and there are a lot of ways to break it, such as saying a number too high in Connect 4 creates an uncaught IndexError. However, I am just proud to get a Connect 4 board that renders the positions of the tokens, and makes sure they fall to the bottom. It also stores the leaderboard in a text file in a slightly weird looking syntax I created. Also, the user name is saved.
I have fixed lots of the problems with the game failing on bad values, and have started the Tic Tac Toe game (and the number guesser which is very easy compared to the others), which works in a similar way to the Connect 4 game.
I have completed the tic tac toe game and leaderboard. The overall shell of the game is complete :)
Hopefully time to ship! I have done some of the final touches, and I got it on pypi, so it can now be installed using pip command: pip install charlie-game-compendium and run using: charlie-games

While this was intentional, as in real life, part of Connect 4 and Tic Tac Toe (noughts and crosses) is keeping track. However, I like the suggestion, and the 2 games that didn’t have win detection now do. Now I believe I am ready to ship. This project was supposed to be a small code I was writing for me to learn Python skills, but it has turned out much bigger than I expected, and now I am proud of that implementation, so I am going to ship again :)
Ships:
I have made a simple game compendium which runs in the terminal and is text based. It is a python based compendium, which stores data in text files, and is installed using pip (instructions on the pypi project). There are three games: Connect 4, Tic Tac Toe, and Number Guesser. These games challenged my abilities in coding, as this was a very challenging game to code. I have only very basic knowledge of python coding. However, number guesser was noticeably easier as it was single lines, rather than me trying to invent a way to store the data of where various tokens were positioned. Overall, I put a lot of effort and time into this game compendium. While I am a beginner coder, and while it is only text based, I am proud of what I have managed to create, and that it can now be installed with pip. I hope you enjoy this game :)...

This has taken me sometime because I was sick (still currently am) and I was trying to balance college but I was able to finish it and it now works the way that it should.

I originally had it under the WarioWare game mission, but I eventually decided I should detach it from it due to the sheer complexity of this game, which is way above the beginner mission. In the game, players are put through what is currently 12 minigames. Each minigame has a strict timer limit, whether it be losing a life or progressing to the next minigame once it strikes 0. In case you are confused, the way they win a life at the end is if the purpose of the minigame is to survive a certain amount of time against computer-generated obstacles, like arrows or orbs (essentially meteors). The very interesting thing about this game is the two endings: the ending you get when you complete all the minigames with lives to spare, and the one when you lose all of your five lives. These endings, which I will not explain in detail (so it is not spoiled for you!), highlight the eternity of automatically generated code files. The opening scene of the game is the Tyleruploads Mountain Range, which shows many mountains connected via bridges. The suspension for those bridges is the game’s logo turned into a bunch of small links. Metaphysically, the game’s goal is to cross these bridges. Many parts of this project were extremely challenging for me. For one, I had never set foot in Godot at all before embarking on this project. I was also a complete newcomer to any sort of game development. I encountered many errors caused by my being just introduced to GDScript and game development, such as not knowing that scripts continue after changing the scene, the absence of a deferred call causing the game to go completely grey, losing a lot of work in video editing software while making the gameplay trailer video, and many more small and large things. In every ship message for prior Stardance projects, I have said something like “Wow! Before I started, I really didn’t think I could do something this complex. I really just transformed my coding abilities.” But this time, I am not going to repeat that basic fib without any supporting arguments. My previous Stardance projects were nowhere near this length. So, I would like to make a new claim now. That claim is that while I have not become a completely new developer or graphic designer or anything, I have dipped into a new path of development that I will have the choice to either continue to pursue or to reap the benefits of the mindset associated with it as I enter high school. For these reasons, along with the fact that I was able to sit down and write quality code for one project for 51 hours, I am very proud of myself. My viewpoint of “sit down and make a decent project and leave it” has been greatly diminished outside of specific contexts.", "repo": "https://github.com/tyleruploads/code-ware", "demo": "https://tyleruploads.itch.io/codeware"}]...

It has really been a great project that has significantly pushed what I think about my development capabilities. But I will explain that more in the ship message!

Here is a summary of the changes made to it: The following shields have been added: Play on GitHub Pages, Made with Godot, GitHub Release (version number), and GitHub Commit Activity The hero image near the top of the README, depicting the title screen, has been replaced with a gameplay video for the game, with a hero of minigame 6 (Unintelligent Arrows) The minigames section has been moved to near the bottom of the README to make the start of the README a better hook.

The string is generated from a pool of characters with lookalikes (i.e., Z and 2, S and 5, O and 0, I and l, etc.) removed to ensure it is completely fair for the user. This was definitely one of the easier minigames to code, but it wasn’t the easiest thing ever.

It is named “RGB Skills.” In the minigame, there are two colors: one generated automatically by the code, and one controlled by manual RGB Sliders. It validates the user’s guess using the GDScript method Vector3.distance_to() . The method uses the 3D Pythagorean theorem to calculate the Euclidean Distance between the RGB values, as if they were plotted in a 3D space. This works because the red value represents the x-axis, the green value represents the y-axis, and the blue value represents the z-axis on a 3D graph. This was very interesting for me to discover, since I only learned the 2D Pythagorean theorem last year (in seventh grade). The game also starts the sliders at the furthest possible points from the target color, which makes the minigame harder. If the player clicks the submit button without making any changes, they will not pass. And yes, I know they could easily invert the colors to find the right one. The only thing is, they probably didn’t read this devlog.

The second minigame background is two eyes in many perfectly aligned rectangles. Make death scene. Previously, I only had a win screen in the game (a very anticlimactic one at best, in a purposeful way). Now, I added a death scene too! The death scene links with the idea of the two sides of eternity (or infinity) connected by a small path because the user is showed specific text by automatic vertical scrolling, then they click a button to get thrown right back to the first minigame, as if nothing happened. They can do this as many times as they want; the bridges between the two halves of eternity represented by infinity are very strong, the same bridges connecting the mountains. Replace unused settings button with extras. The main menu used to contain a button labeled “Settings,” which would take the user to a blank scene with no way to get back. It has now been replaced with an “Extras” button, which contains an Asset Gallery that allows users to look at the beautiful game assets and obviously, a credits section. Universal back buttons.

I just created the basic blueprint for my very own WarioWare style video game, CodeWare! In CodeWare, you are playing as GitHub, and for the first minigame, you are trying to capture 7 of me (that’s just a nice image I had available—I might consider changing it later). The time constraints are actually pretty balanced, you’ll generally finish right in the nick of time. There is still a lot more remaining. The reason there was so much time in this devlog is because of error correction. This is my first time using Godot—everything’s not meant to be correct the first time around. A lot of the error correction was silly stuff like scaling, timer pixelation, text getting cropped off (without me knowing), and etc. You jump on those little box thingeys to get to the mini-mes in order to collect.

And, once you go to get the last ones on the very right, there’s no coming out! Hopefully, you got the other ones first!
I just did some play testing, added some comments, and made a basic README! Nothing much!
This is going to be my second to last devlog before I ship, assuming everything goes well! In these two and a half hours, I did SO MANY THINGS! The most obvious change has to be how I added the second minigame, the clicker! In the minigame, you have 12 seconds to collect 18 tyleruploads circles! Each circle is randomly placed on the screen, which makes it so you can’t just memorize it! I also added a license to the project. It contains five sections for different types of content. And, I updated the SECURITY.md so it is completed. Another nice thing I added is action and description messages before each minigame. It tells the player what to do, so they aren’t losing any time when it starts! I also fixed the text it shows you when you win, before it takes you to the win screen I am going to make soon. I also revamped the README! It is way better now! Check out the README on GitHub if you want! I also set up and configured GitHub Discussions!
Well, that was very silly. I spent 45 minutes adding automatic cross-compilation via GitHub actions! The main issue was: macOS! I now officially hate macOS. I essentially spent 12 commits trying to fix macOS, and 1 commit removing macOS. The commits mentioning Windows or Linux? They were never the issue. It was only macOS. Heres my commit history for this devlog: Add basic src/export_presets.cfg 1 file changed, 431 insertions(+) Make publishing workflow to compile 1 file changed, 66 insertions(+) Fix Linux export in export_presets.cfg to work with workflow 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) Set project directory in workflow 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) Remove export_path for windows in export_presents.cfg to fix CI/CD 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) Hopefully fixes CI/CD 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) Make macOS only support x86_64 to fix CI/CD issue 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) Add bundle identifier for macOS (why does it have to be such a pain?) 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) The mac strikes back: import ETC2 ASTC compession for macOS 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) Add initial project import step to CI/CD 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) Cd into src before initializing godot 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) Remove cding into src and add export_templates_path 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) The mac struck back yet again: emancipated 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 4 deletions(-) I rebased it to “Add support for every OS; remove support for macOS (it struck back, like starwars)”
I JUST MADE THE END SCENE! It is very complex. But, I can’t spoil it! Here’s the code. It’s your choice to go line by line and spoil it for yourself.
Wow! 8 hours is a lot of time! Here’s what I did! Create all new assets. I made a new icon and background for the title screen and both minigames. The icon features an infinity symbol cut in half but connected with the parts in between them in a bit of a 3D-like arrangement, symbolizing two sides of eternity connected by small paths. The first minigame background and the title scene background contain a mountain range, a sunset, and one or multiple bridges. The second minigame background is two eyes in many perfectly aligned rectangles. Make death scene. Previously, I only had a win screen in the game (a very anticlimactic one at best, in a purposeful way). Now, I added a death scene too! The death scene links with the idea of the two sides of eternity (or infinity) connected by a small path because the user is showed specific text by automatic vertical scrolling, then they click a button to get thrown right back to the first minigame, as if nothing happened. They can do this as many times as they want; the bridges between the two halves of eternity represented by infinity are very strong, the same bridges connecting the mountains. Replace unused settings button with extras. The main menu used to contain a button labeled “Settings,” which would take the user to a blank scene with no way to get back. It has now been replaced with an “Extras” button, which contains an Asset Gallery that allows users to look at the beautiful game assets and obviously, a credits section. Universal back buttons. Now, users can always get back to some point in the game (including the title screen), even if they are in the infinite end scene.
I just made some nice changes to CodeWare! I added pause, unpause, and reset functionality. This was in the README as coming soon for a while. I relocated script locations and removed ambiguity from a script named ‘self_timer.gd’ by renaming it ‘minigame_1_timer.gd,’ which makes it not look wrong when next to ‘minigame_2_timer.gd.’ And, I added the version number to the title menu!
I just added the third minigame to CodeWare! It is titled “Hit the Circles.” In the minigame, you start with a balance of -15, and each circle you hit, you get +1 balance! It is kindove like Whack-a-Mole (don’t sue me Mattel.) This marks version 0.6.0 of the game!
I just put CodeWare on GitHub pages! You can view it at https://tyleruploads.github.io/code-ware/ ! I also upped the time for a minigame after a web playtest determined the amount of time given was not enough to complete the task at hand.
This is a short one! I just integrated it with the Itch.io Butler API, so it will automatically update its Itch.io game whenever I make a new release! Currently, it is a draft on Itch.io. You can view the draft at https://tyleruploads.itch.io/codeware?secret=CDZUB2MTxYCmNQ70VRagItDLSTg . Sometime before I ship, I will make the Itch.io page public, which may bring in some players.
I just added two minigames to CodeWare! The first minigame I just added, minigame 4, titled “Dodge the Flying Balls,” has users dodge flying balls (referred to as meteors in the code) for 45 seconds. Each hit takes away 10% of the user’s health. It can actually be pretty hard. A good strategy to stay alive is moving from side to side and never stopping, because there are really fast ones that come before you can even react. The second minigame I just added, minigame 5, titled “Click Very Fast,” has the user click on a big circular button in the middle 100 times in less than 20 seconds. I have tested it many times, and it is just the right time (at least for now). You can play the game at https://tyleruploads.github.io/code-ware/
I just completely refactored, everything! I made many new directories in order to organize the entire repository much better! This took an hour because of the debugging and other related changes to the code associated with a complete structural refactor. It definitely was not a calm, easy hour.
I just created the sixth minigame, “Unintelligent Arrows,” in CodeWare! In the minigame, users have to dodge countless arrows that are described as unintelligent purely based on their inability to change paths once shot. If you weren’t already guessing, I am planning on making an intelligent-arrow-themed minigame in the future, possibly inspired by 1948 in some ways. This game is actually getting nice and long, way longer than I thought it would be at the start. When I shared it with people a while ago, it was very short. Now, it’s decently long! Once I add a lot more minigames, I will consider making them go in random order and giving them difficulty tags to determine when they should be shown.
I just balanced minigame 6, “Unintelligent Arrows,” after feedback from Hack Club members. I made users have more time to react before getting hit by the arrows. I have not released this update yet; once I apply some other suggestions from the community, I will release it as v0.11.0.
After receiving feedback from the Hack Club community, I have made these changes to CodeWare. The icon has been updated to increase contrast and to look better at small resolutions Minigame 6, “Unintelligent Arrows,” has been balanced to be easier for users to complete WASD Movement has been added to all games Support for held jumps has been added to the first minigame, “Orb Collection Platformer” An ambiguity in the README about the objective has been corrected
I just made two new assets for CodeWare! They are the players in minigames 4 and 6. Here is a photo of one of them.
I just released version v0.13.0 of CodeWare! In this version, I have completely changed the sound environment of the game! I will explain it with two basic pseudocode (or Python) logic statements! prev_sound = sound in v0.12.0 curr_sound = sound in v0.13.0 print(prev_sound, curr_sound) # False, True What I’m trying to illustrate here is that there was absolutely no sound before, and now there is! There is a background ticking noise playing (forever) through an autoload and sound effects corresponding to in-minigame events. Feel free to test it at https://tyleruploads.itch.io/codeware?secret=CDZUB2MTxYCmNQ70VRagItDLSTg ! Send any feedback in the comments!
I just made version v0.14.0 of CodeWare! In this version, I added the eighth minigame, “Choose the Boxes!” The user has 30 seconds to choose 20 boxes by clicking on the one matching the color of the center box. I also went through and removed unnecessary log statements and unused variables.
I just made the ninth minigame for CodeWare, “The Maze!” In the minigame, the user needs to get to the center of the maze in less than 18 seconds! They move a mini tyleruploads texture with arrow keys and WASD to eventually get to the bigger one in the middle! I had a lot of trouble with physics here, hence the 2 hours! And, I’ve never made any sort of maze before, so this is a first!
I just made the tenth minigame for CodeWare! It is named “RGB Skills.” In the minigame, there are two colors: one generated automatically by the code, and one controlled by manual RGB Sliders. It validates the user’s guess using the GDScript method Vector3.distance_to() . The method uses the 3D Pythagorean theorem to calculate the Euclidean Distance between the RGB values, as if they were plotted in a 3D space. This works because the red value represents the x-axis, the green value represents the y-axis, and the blue value represents the z-axis on a 3D graph. This was very interesting for me to discover, since I only learned the 2D Pythagorean theorem last year (in seventh grade). The game also starts the sliders at the furthest possible points from the target color, which makes the minigame harder. If the player clicks the submit button without making any changes, they will not pass. And yes, I know they could easily invert the colors to find the right one. The only thing is, they probably didn’t read this devlog. So, they’ll have no clue of the fact the sliders were placed at the inversion of the target color.
I just did a lot of asset updating and linting! The part I think would be most interesting to you is obviously the asset updates. I changed the assets in Minigame 1, 3, 4, and 9! I also updated the gallery, accessible in the extras menu, to include new assets I’ve forgotten to put in there for a while now. I’ll just show you how minigame one looks now; no need for a detailed explanation of everything. Now, I have to address the boring part, which took most of the three and a half hours. That would be linting! It’s pretty self-explanatory: I went through and made the scenes and scripts adhere to style guidelines.
In the Newspaper department at my summer sleepaway camp this year, they always said, “If the number is less than 11, spell it out.” CodeWare has officially surpassed this guideline in the number of its minigames. Minigame 11 of CodeWare is titled “Type the Strings,” and players must type 15 five-character strings provided to them in less than one minute. The string is generated from a pool of characters with lookalikes (i.e., Z and 2, S and 5, O and 0, I and l, etc.) removed to ensure it is completely fair for the user. This was definitely one of the easier minigames to code, but it wasn’t the easiest thing ever. I still ran into some issues, like the vertical alignment of a RichTextLabel being a bit too low when dynamically updating its content in GDScript to show a custom notice to the user (I fixed it by changing it to a normal Label, after troubleshooting for way too long).
I just created the twelfth mingame of CodeWare, “Catch the Falling Orbs!” In it, you have 45 seconds to catch 35 falling orbs by moving left and right with your keyboard.
This will be one of my very last devlogs before I ship CodeWare! I just created the gameplay trailer, which is a huge accomplishment! This is my first time making any sort of video for anything I make in the computer world, and I think it actually turned out very well! The video shows potential players what the game will look like and gives a glimpse of its unexpected win-and-lose endings. I also put the video on the game’s Itch.io page, which will be made public very soon. You can view the video on YouTube here: CodeWare - Official Gameplay Video
This marks v1.0.0! This is my FINAL devlog for CodeWare (at least the first ship)! It has really been a great project that has significantly pushed what I think about my development capabilities. But I will explain that more in the ship message! The main change made over the time of this devlog was a complete revamp of the README! Here is a summary of the changes made to it: The following shields have been added: Play on GitHub Pages, Made with Godot, GitHub Release (version number), and GitHub Commit Activity The hero image near the top of the README, depicting the title screen, has been replaced with a gameplay video for the game, with a hero of minigame 6 (Unintelligent Arrows) The minigames section has been moved to near the bottom of the README to make the start of the README a better hook. And the minigame descriptions and hero images inside the section have been put inside a spoiler notice, so the game can not be easily spoiled for players. And the hero images in the minigame section have been converted from Markdown tags to HTML tags in order to enforce a specific width.
Ships:
I created CodeWare, a WarioWare-style video game where you have to complete various minigames, written in Godot. I originally had it under the WarioWare game mission, but I eventually decided I should detach it from it due to the sheer complexity of this game, which is way above the beginner mission. In the game, players are put through what is currently 12 minigames. Each minigame has a strict timer limit, whether it be losing a life or progressing to the next minigame once it strikes 0. In case you are confused, the way they win a life at the end is if the purpose of the minigame is to survive a certain amount of time against computer-generated obstacles, like arrows or orbs (essentially meteors). The very interesting thing about this game is the two endings: the ending you get when you complete all the minigames with lives to spare, and the one when you lose all of your five lives. These endings, which I will not explain in detail (so it is not spoiled for you!), highlight the eternity of automatically generated code files. The opening scene of the game is the Tyleruploads Mountain Range, which shows many mountains connected via bridges. The suspension for those bridges is the game’s logo turned into a bunch of small links. Metaphysically, the game’s goal is to cross these bridges. Many parts of this project were extremely challenging for me. For one, I had never set foot in Godot at all before embarking on this project. I was also a complete newcomer to any sort of game development. I encountered many errors caused by my being just introduced to GDScript and game development, such as not knowing that scripts continue after changing the scene, the absence of a deferred call causing the game to go completely grey, losing a lot of work in video editing software while making the gameplay trailer video, and many more small and large things. In every ship message for prior Stardance projects, I have said something like “Wow! Before I started, I really didn’t think I could do something this complex. I really just transformed my coding abilities.” But this time, I am not going to repeat that basic fib without any supporting arguments. My previous Stardance projects were nowhere near this length. So, I would like to make a new claim now. That claim is that while I have not become a completely new developer or graphic designer or anything, I have dipped into a new path of development that I will have the choice to either continue to pursue or to reap the benefits of the mindset associated with it as I enter high school. For these reasons, along with the fact that I was able to sit down and write quality code for one project for 51 hours, I am very proud of myself. My viewpoint of “sit down and make a decent project and leave it” has been greatly diminished outside of specific contexts....

Now I am implementing the log system.
Devlog - 02 Today I finished the logging system and started updating the README. What’s new: Complete activity logging README improvements and setup guide Next step: polishing the project documentation and create a better structure for the packages.
Devlog - 03 Today I created and finished the update command.
Devlog - 04 Today I added a SHA-256 integrity verification system. The package manager now generates and compares file hashes to validate downloaded files and prevent corrupted or modified packages from being installed.
Devlog - 05 Beginning of the creation of the repo-tools that will be used to create and edit an index.
Devlog - 06. Today I added a function to check if a package is compatible with the operating system where the program is running.
Devlog - 07 Today, I added an upgrade feature to update ZAP to the latest version. The code is untested because I have to return my school laptop and move everything over to my dad’s computer. I don’t know when I will be back to active development.
Devlog - 08 Starting to create an installation script and configure my VS Code for another computer.
Devlog - 09 Today I added a base_url parameter to the index configuration, allowing the domain to be changed more easily without having to manually update all links. I also fixed issues in the Makefile that were causing broken executables with no output. Finally, I merged my work from the GitHub dev branch into the GitHub main branch.
Devlog #10 Today I added the repo-remove command, which removes a repository URL from the index file. I also made some small improvements to the project’s directory structure.
Devlog #11 - Now I added upgrades to the zap website but I down publish yet. Sorry for my robotic English.
adding a gitignore and deleting the repo-tools to start from zero.
Devlog #13 Adding the info commmad.
Devlog #14 Today I separated repo-tools from the Zap parser and started developing it in its own branch.
Devlog #15 Today, I re-write the Readme, launch a release (v0.6.5-beta), I created a official repository and add a test package named hello.
Devlog #16 Today, I changed the way you configure Zap. The example below shows how to hide the logo. Before: zap config hl Now: zap config set show_logo true Previously, you couldn’t view the configuration from the program. Now, zap config list shows the current configuration. Warning The configuration is currently only used to enable, disable, or change the logo and debug settings. I’m also finally using Python’s virtual environment to work on the project.

Devlog #17 Hello! Today I finally started working on the scary part of a package manager: dependencies ⛈️⛈️. Warning Today I only worked on the system that grabs the dependencies. The way dependencies will work is through the .cmd launchers stored in: C:/Users/Your_User/AppData/Local/Zap/sl Each package will have its own launcher, and that launcher will be responsible for setting up the environment required by that package.

This is definitely one of the more complicated parts of the package manager, but I’m finally starting to figure out the architecture. Warning This changes are not avaiable yet!
Devlog #18 Today, I added a new parameter to the database for dependencies, and I started working on the dependency system. I don’t know if I mentioned it in the previous devlog, but I also created the confirmation button. Thanks for reading! And if you want to launch your project on Zap, please contact me. Thanks for reading!
Devlog #19 Today, with the help of ChatGPT, I created a system to check if a dependency’s version is compatible with the program. For example, if a dependency is specified as dependency@>=1.0.0 , the system will analyze the required version and check whether the available version is compatible.
Devlog #20 Today, with the help of ChatGPT, I created the dependency system. The ZAP can now resolve package dependencies and find the correct versions required by each package. It can also handle multiple versions of the same dependency and create launchers with the required dependencies added to the PATH. This means different packages can use different versions of the same dependency without conflicts.
Devlog #21 Updating the README so I can release version 0.7 tomorrow!
Devlog #22 Today, yesterday I added a function that checks if all packages / dependencies are in the list to be downloaded, also adding the author variable to the database, and some minor changes. Thanks for reading! 😊
Devlog #23 Today, I correct a error in the launcher system code and I tried to create a 3 packages to show who it works but they don’t work.
Devlog #24 Today, I made some small changes to the project. The next thing I’m going to add is a system to check whether the local index is outdated and update it if necessary.
Devlog #25 Making small changes to the code in the past days to launch the version 0.7.0-beta.
Devlog #26 Today, I changed the code so that ZAP can have a Linux version. I spent an hour trying to install pip on my Linux PC, but I couldn’t get it to work. I switched to another PC, and now I’m going to test it.
Devlog #27 Today, I run zap on Linux and lost my sanity with the complexity of using Linux on an old PC and all the configuration. The hello test package will be available this afternoon. Thanks for reading!
Devlog #28 So today, I started writing the installation script for Linux. Sorry if I don’t give many updates school just started today!
Devlog #29 Today I finally finished the Linux installation script!
#Devlog #30 Updating the zap web page for the new version.
Devlog #31 After some time, I finally had time to work on ZAP again. Today I started fixing some bugs in ZAP, tested the installation script, and added the installation instructions to the README on the main page. ZAP is still in beta, and I know some things don’t work yet, but I want to sleep. I tested the installer on Debian-based systems, but I haven’t tested it on Arch, Alpine, or other obscure distros yet. My linux test PC specs are shown above, and the error is also shown above.
Devlog #32 I’m tired of working on this, I try one thing and it doesn’t work I try another even worse but I’m working to launch the zap for linux I just don’t have test packages or packages to release if any wants to launch their package on the zap let me know.
Ships:
Hello everyone! My project is a package manager built entirely in Python. I challenged myself to create something simple for everyone—both for the people creating the repository and for those who will use it. I am really proud of myself for dedicating so much effort to this project. ⚠️ Project Status & Requirements Please note that this project is currently in Beta and some commands might not be fully functional or ready yet. System Requirements: Python 3.0 or higher is required. To run the project in script mode, you must install the following dependencies: requests, colorama, and tqdm. Current Limitations: The tools inside repo-tools (used for creating repositories) are currently disabled while they undergo updates. In the meantime, if you want to create a repository, you can use the example index provided in the GitHub README and simply replace the package and file names with your own. If you have any questions or run into issues, please feel free to open an issue or ask here on GitHub. I am more than happy to help!
So, I built a package manager in Python. The biggest challenge I experienced was organizing my code, debugging, and building complex features. I’m proud that it works, and I’m proud of all the time I spent coding it. My project documentation is on GitHub, which is the best place I have to write and maintain it. Zap can install, remove, and download packages without installing them, as well as update packages and perform other features. Try out my project, and if you want to add your projects to the Zap repository, contact me on Slack or GitHub. Thanks for Reading!...

The captive portal now has optional auth fields, the credentials save to NVS with the rest of the config, and the pi-bridge authenticates the same way. Leaving them blank keeps the old anonymous behaviour, so nothing broke for existing setups Fixed a bug where every scanner broadcast the same setup network name . The AP name is built from the last two bytes of the device MAC, but it was being read from the WiFi driver before the interface existed, so every board came up as Spottr-Scanner-0000 . Reading the MAC directly from efuse fixed it, and each scanner now shows its real suffix, unique per device and stable across reboots Fixed a power-failure recovery bug that only showed up in the real deployment. When the power came back, the scanners booted in about two seconds but the router took closer to a minute, so the scanners found no network, assumed they were unconfigured, and dropped into the config portal. Every node had to be manually restarted. The logic was treating “can’t connect right now” as “isn’t set up”. Now a scanner with credentials in NVS retries WiFi indefinitely and only ever opens the portal if there are genuinely no credentials or the command is given over serial Added a WiFi watchdog to the main loop, so a dropout during normal operation reconnects on its own instead of leaving the scanner stuck retrying MQTT over a dead network Fixed the OTA status LED never actually animating . ledSet() only records the state, and the pin write happens in ledUpdate() , which runs from the main loop, but the OTA download blocks that loop entirely. So the LED just froze at whatever brightness it had. Driving it from httpUpdate ’s progress callback fixed it, and the pattern is twice as fast now so a quick update is still visible Redesigned the dashboard from scratch. Went for a design language closer to Nothing and Apple’s dark mode, so the whole thing is monochrome with mono uppercase labels, thin tabular numerals and a lot of empty space. Stripped out the animated gradient orbs, the dot-grid background and the glassmorphism, since that look is everywhere now and reads as generic. Cards are visible because they’re lighter than the page rather than because they have a border, and colour only appears where it means something, so a room lighting up when someone walks in is the only saturated thing on screen Rebuilt the Overview page as three columns, with stats and occupied rooms on the left, the floor map in the middle, and a badge rail on the right where every badge can be searched, edited, disabled or deleted without leaving the page. Added pan and zoom to the map Fixed a bug where any badge added through the dashboard would never show a location. New badges were saved with an uppercase MAC while the pi-bridge writes location keys in lowercase, so the two never matched. Pulled the MAC handling into a shared module so both pages normalise the same way Replaced the component-library sidebar with a custom animated one , and moved the shared liveness and badge logic into lib/status.js and lib/badges.js . The duplicated copies of that logic are exactly what let the floor map and the overview page drift apart and disagree about which scanners were online Future Work Build the Scanners Management page to assign rooms to auto-registered scanners and a Logs Page to view the history of every action performed Add offline buffering to the scanner firmware so badge detections aren’t lost if WiFi drops, and flush them once reconnected Add checksum verification to the OTA process so a corrupted download can’t be flashed to a scanner"}, {"post_id": 30368, "ts": "2026-07-17T20:52:22Z", "hours": 7.6561, "text": "DEVLOG #7 - OTA FULLY IMPLEMENTED WITH AUTO-UPDATES, CAPTIVE PORTAL ADDED, FIRMWARE REFACTORED & STATUS LED Website : https://spottr.brunogg.in Work Done: Fully implemented Over-The-Air (OTA) updates for the scanner nodes. The pi-bridge watches Firebase for a new firmware version and publishes it over MQTT, each scanner compares it against its own version and only updates if it’s newer, then downloads, flashes and reboots itself. The version check runs on each scanner, so one publish updates every outdated node automatically Set up automatic releases using a GitHub Action, so publishing a new release on GitHub writes the version and download URL to Firebase on its own, which then cascades down to every scanner. Now a single release publish updates the whole fleet with no manual steps Added a WiFi captive portal for first-time scanner setup.

DEVLOG #4 - LOGIN PAGE, BUG FIXES AND OVERHALL BADGE AND SCANNER FIRMWARE ALONG WITH CHANGES IN PI-BRIDGE Website: https://spottr.brunogg.in Work Done: Implemented a login page with Firebase Auth which supports but Google Sign-In as well as via Email & Password (Added a test user with its credentials posted on login page for future testing and for public showcase of the project) Added Protected routes - dashboard will remain inaccessible without logging in Switched the badge identification from using device_id ex.

DEVLOG #5 — STARTED WORK ON ADMIN DASHBOARD, IMPLEMENTED LIVE FLOOR MAP Website: https://spottr.brunogg.in Work Done: Started work on the admin dashboard Built the floor map feature and made it show in which room a badge is currently in Live badge dots render directly on the floor map, positioned in the room they were last detected in Added StatCards to the Overview page -> Badges Online, Scanners Online, Rooms Occupied, Total Badges Future Work Add dynamically updating status for scanners where pi-bridge sends a heartbeat and scanner-node responds to it Add sections to admin dashboard to add, remove or manage badges and scanners, along with a logs section to log any changes
DEVLOG #6 - SCANNER HEALTH CHECKS IMPLEMENTED, IDENTIFY SCANNERS VIA MAC, BADGE MANAGEMENT & OTA GROUNDWORK SET Website : https://spottr.brunogg.in Work Done: Built an active scanner health-check system - pi-bridge pings each scanner every 15s over MQTT, scanner replies with a pong , and a missed pong marks it offline within a few seconds. This replaced the old passive system where the scanner sent a heartbeat every 30 seconds to update its status Switched scanner identity to its MAC Address . with the pi-bridge verifying each scanner’s MAC and registering unknown scanners into Firebase as unassigned Refactored pi-bridge from one single large file into multiple sub-files ( config.py , handlers.py , health.py , presence.py , registry.py , state.py and main.py ) Started work on the Badges Management Page where the admin can add, edit, delete or enable/disable badges , where each row shows the live status of each badge as online/offline and current room, along with confirmation dialog boxes for destructive actions like deletion or disabling badges Laid the groundwork for OTA firmware updates for the scanner nodes, where I switched the scanner partition table to support two app slots, added semantic version tracking and comparison, and wrote the OTA update function (yet to be implemented properly) Future Work Fully implement the OTA function where the pi-bridge triggers the update by publishing the new firmware version over MQTT and automatically flash it to the scanners Add a captive portal where the scanners can be configured (Adding WiFi and Scanner IDs) without editing the code Build the Scanners Management page to assign rooms to auto-registered scanners and Logs Page to view history of every action performed
DEVLOG #7 - OTA FULLY IMPLEMENTED WITH AUTO-UPDATES, CAPTIVE PORTAL ADDED, FIRMWARE REFACTORED & STATUS LED Website : https://spottr.brunogg.in Work Done: Fully implemented Over-The-Air (OTA) updates for the scanner nodes. The pi-bridge watches Firebase for a new firmware version and publishes it over MQTT, each scanner compares it against its own version and only updates if it’s newer, then downloads, flashes and reboots itself. The version check runs on each scanner, so one publish updates every outdated node automatically Set up automatic releases using a GitHub Action, so publishing a new release on GitHub writes the version and download URL to Firebase on its own, which then cascades down to every scanner. Now a single release publish updates the whole fleet with no manual steps Added a WiFi captive portal for first-time scanner setup. On first boot the scanner hosts its own network and serves a 4-step wizard (name the room, connect WiFi, set the broker, confirm) styled to match the website. Config is saved to NVS after every step and the portal won’t let a scanner boot into normal mode until setup is fully complete, so one firmware image now works for every scanner without editing code Refactored the scanner firmware from one large file into separate modules ( config , portal , scanner , ota , led and globals ) for cleaner, more maintainable code Added a status LED on the scanner so its state can be read at a glance without a serial monitor - blinking while connecting, solid when online, a slow breathing fade while in the config portal, and a distinct pattern during an OTA update Fixed a bug where the dashboard counted an offline scanner as online, by trusting the health status set by the pi-bridge instead of guessing from the last-seen timestamp Future Work Build the Scanners Management page to assign rooms to auto-registered scanners and a Logs Page to view the history of every action performed Add offline buffering to the scanner firmware so badge detections aren’t lost if WiFi drops, and flush them once reconnected Add checksum verification to the OTA process so a corrupted download can’t be flashed to a scanner
DEVLOG #8 - MQTT AUTH, POWER-FAILURE RECOVERY, DASHBOARD REDESIGNED FROM SCRATCH Website : https://spottr.brunogg.in Work Done: Added MQTT username and password support across the whole stack. The captive portal now has optional auth fields, the credentials save to NVS with the rest of the config, and the pi-bridge authenticates the same way. Leaving them blank keeps the old anonymous behaviour, so nothing broke for existing setups Fixed a bug where every scanner broadcast the same setup network name . The AP name is built from the last two bytes of the device MAC, but it was being read from the WiFi driver before the interface existed, so every board came up as Spottr-Scanner-0000 . Reading the MAC directly from efuse fixed it, and each scanner now shows its real suffix, unique per device and stable across reboots Fixed a power-failure recovery bug that only showed up in the real deployment. When the power came back, the scanners booted in about two seconds but the router took closer to a minute, so the scanners found no network, assumed they were unconfigured, and dropped into the config portal. Every node had to be manually restarted. The logic was treating “can’t connect right now” as “isn’t set up”. Now a scanner with credentials in NVS retries WiFi indefinitely and only ever opens the portal if there are genuinely no credentials or the command is given over serial Added a WiFi watchdog to the main loop, so a dropout during normal operation reconnects on its own instead of leaving the scanner stuck retrying MQTT over a dead network Fixed the OTA status LED never actually animating . ledSet() only records the state, and the pin write happens in ledUpdate() , which runs from the main loop, but the OTA download blocks that loop entirely. So the LED just froze at whatever brightness it had. Driving it from httpUpdate ’s progress callback fixed it, and the pattern is twice as fast now so a quick update is still visible Redesigned the dashboard from scratch. Went for a design language closer to Nothing and Apple’s dark mode, so the whole thing is monochrome with mono uppercase labels, thin tabular numerals and a lot of empty space. Stripped out the animated gradient orbs, the dot-grid background and the glassmorphism, since that look is everywhere now and reads as generic. Cards are visible because they’re lighter than the page rather than because they have a border, and colour only appears where it means something, so a room lighting up when someone walks in is the only saturated thing on screen Rebuilt the Overview page as three columns, with stats and occupied rooms on the left, the floor map in the middle, and a badge rail on the right where every badge can be searched, edited, disabled or deleted without leaving the page. Added pan and zoom to the map Fixed a bug where any badge added through the dashboard would never show a location. New badges were saved with an uppercase MAC while the pi-bridge writes location keys in lowercase, so the two never matched. Pulled the MAC handling into a shared module so both pages normalise the same way Replaced the component-library sidebar with a custom animated one , and moved the shared liveness and badge logic into lib/status.js and lib/badges.js . The duplicated copies of that logic are exactly what let the floor map and the overview page drift apart and disagree about which scanners were online Future Work Build the Scanners Management page to assign rooms to auto-registered scanners and a Logs Page to view the history of every action performed Add offline buffering to the scanner firmware so badge detections aren’t lost if WiFi drops, and flush them once reconnected Add checksum verification to the OTA process so a corrupted download can’t be flashed to a scanner
DEVLOG #9 - BADGE CASE REDESIGNED, PRINTED AND ASSEMBLED Website : https://spottr.brunogg.in Work Done: Redesigned the badge enclosure from scratch in Fusion 360 to fit the new battery, which got thicker but smaller in footprint while the badge had to stay credit-card sized at 86 x 54 mm Made the whole model parametric , so every dimension falls out of a handful of named values and the next component change is a one-number edit instead of another rebuild Added the Spottr logo embossed on the lid and a USB-C cutout sized off the actual connector Got it printed through #printing-legion and it came out clean Assembled the hardware into it : XIAO ESP32-C3, LiPo and status LED all sit flat in the cavity with the lid seating properly on top

finished the logic for the l298n motor driver
hey, my code for the motor driver was buggy so solved most of those also made the second file in platformIO to code for the second esp32, which is to act as an antenna for the follow function
finally got the two board to connect to each other via esp now protocole. now the second board is sending its RSSI value to the main board to calculate the direction of the phone.
sorry guys for the long break i had school stuff and i thought this had ended. so i have had the follow function of the car which is the autonomous part of the car. i also added a button into the webpage to select between manual and auto mode. with that all the major coding is done i think ofc the debugging remains.

devlog #1: I can tell this is going to be a long project, I learned more about hackpads today and stuff like that for Kicad on youtube and normally people’s first steps would be to start making the PCBs but I’m struggling with the extra symbol libraries, that’s all for this devlog. See you all on the next one!!
devlog #2: not much intel today, i finally downloaded the symbol library file and the footprint ones aswell so that gave me access to the module, anyways i finished drawing the schematic for now after I wake up ill start on the pcb and then brainstorm a design for it!
devlog #3: Imo making a pcb and a schematic as a first timer is hell, I took inspo from someone cause the guide only showed 3 switches and no rotary switch whatsoever, anyways this is what i have for now,might change it sometime soon
devlog #4: this is what im working with so far, not the best but eh im not good at this kind of stuff I just copied someone’s design in hopes of understanding what the hell im making but i might redesign it and make it simpler
devlog #5: so i ended up redesigning my schematic cause i started getting confused, but after some thorough research I ended up designing the PCB as a 3 key macropad, 4 if you include the rotary encoder cause im still a beginner and i got way too ahead of myself when i thought i couldve done a 3x3 macropad. anyways i finally finished with the design now my next step is to design a case!
devlog #6: alright guys today i made some good progress that im REALLY proud of, i finally understand how the PCBs work and stuff now my PCB has 0 errors and my I also understood how matrix works so i made it 3x3 again and started a bit on the 3D design im so happy guys:D
devlog #7: today i added the top plate and connected the two screw holes together, all thats left is to add a USB port and design it however i like and then ill move on to the final step, the firmware!
devlog #8:Im having trouble setting up the firmware can anyone offer some tips?
devlog #9: I FINALLY FOUND THE COMPONENTS, no one realizes how hard they were to find holy….but anyways I added the components’ footprints and now my PCB looks better, less dry. And then I imported the PCB onto fusion360 so I can add it to my case!!:D almost gave up cause ive been at this for 30 hours literally but I realized i’ve spent too much time on this to just “Give up” so here I am still going
devlog #10: guess who finally finished his design LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO now all that’s left for me to do is to code the firmware and i’ll be done with this but ill try completing it tonight cause ive been on this project for about a week now and it irritated me ill be honest i tried making a red and black combo for the keycaps but they just wouldnt change colors so ill just let it be cause ive been at it for way too long imo
Devlog #11: The firmware guide was surprisingly easy, the only reason I took so long on it was because of the compiling wait time and the setup was taking long anyways im done for now all i need to do is flash it!!
Just finished building my hackpad!! Let’s gooo!!
Ships:
AmateurPad This is a 3x3 Hackpad that has a lot of necessary shortcuts, it is a custom macropad powered by a Seed Xiao RP2040 microcontroller and QMK Firmware allowing it to be fully customizable and compact, it also helps you adjust the volume at night without looking for the volume up and volume down button with its rotary encoder! The hardest part of it was the CAD as it was my first time making a CAD and connecting the components in the PCB it was HELLL but fortunately I did it!!...

I created HyperionOS, a web-based desktop environment simulator built entirely from scratch using raw HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It features a high-fidelity glassmorphism user interface with draggable, resizable application windows, a fully functional client-side text editor, a virtual file explorer system that processes local uploads using the HTML5 FileReader API, an automatically syncing taskbar clock module, and an integrated interface mode engine that seamlessly switches between Light Mode and a deep, high-contrast Dark Mode. What was challenging? The most significant engineering challenge was implementing the horizontal centering of the taskbar app icons while keeping the system clock anchored to the far-right edge of the screen. Initially, Flexbox alignment rules caused the clock to conflict with the icon cluster’s positioning. I resolved this by taking the clock out of the standard Flexbox layout flow using absolute positioning (position: absolute; right: 20px;), allowing the core taskbar icon array to utilize justify-content: center; without layout disruption. Another major hurdle was translating spatial desktop window positioning logic from Python concepts over to the browser DOM using mouse event tracking handlers (mousedown, mousemove, mouseup). What are you proud of? I am incredibly proud of the clean visual design and the performance optimization of the UI engine. Achieving a smooth, realistic glassmorphism effect using hardware-accelerated CSS filters (backdrop-filter: blur(16px);) combined with complex window layer management (dynamically tracking and incrementing zIndex on click) means the windows stack and drag with absolute zero lag. I am also proud of successfully pushing the repository live into a production environment via cloud deployment on Render. What should people know so they can test your project? Live Link: Access the project directly via my production deployment URL on Render. Testing Interface Modes: Open the System Settings window to switch the global style profile fluidly between Light Mode and Dark Mode. Testing Window Management: You can click and drag any window by its top header bar, click the action buttons to minimize/maximize/close them, or click corresponding taskbar icons to toggle windows open or closed. Testing File Operations: Open the File Explorer window, click “Upload File,” and upload a local text asset (.txt). Once uploaded, click its icon in the explorer window, and the custom virtual drive layer will automatically inject the contents into the Text Editor application workspace for reading.", "repo": "https://github.com/iamharry0121/Hyperion-OS", "demo": "https://hyperion-os.vercel.app/"}]...

What did you make? I created HyperionOS, a web-based desktop environment simulator built entirely from scratch using raw HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It features a high-fidelity glassmorphism user interface with draggable, resizable application windows, a fully functional client-side text editor, a virtual file explorer system that processes local uploads using the HTML5 FileReader API, an automatically syncing taskbar clock module, and an integrated interface mode engine that seamlessly switches between Light Mode and a deep, high-contrast Dark Mode. What was challenging? The most significant engineering challenge was implementing the horizontal centering of the taskbar app icons while keeping the system clock anchored to the far-right edge of the screen. Initially, Flexbox alignment rules caused the clock to conflict with the icon cluster’s positioning. I resolved this by taking the clock out of the standard Flexbox layout flow using absolute positioning (position: absolute; right: 20px;), allowing the core taskbar icon array to utilize justify-content: center; without layout disruption.

I made a Backrooms-themed webOS. I started this project out with very little experience with programming, following the tutorials in the jams step by step, constantly getting stuck at now obvious errors. I’m really proud of how this project turned out since I only spent ~2 weeks making it and its turned out just as i had envisioned. When I was researching for an idea I found out that the computers in the backrooms have their own OS called BackOS, so I wanted to make my own rendition of that. I decided to add a bit of lore to the project too. My idea was that you find yourself trapped in the backrooms and find this specific computer with messages from a previous explorer which you can use to find out the password for the padlock app and find out what’s hidden. The OS has 7 apps- notes, photos, terminal, tapes, settings, desmiler(minesweeper), and a padlock app. The notes app has messages from a previous strandee. The photos app has a gallery of imagery from different parts of the backrooms. The terminal can be used to run a few commands and the tapes app acts like a cassette player you can listen to 6 different songs on. The settings app allows you to, for example, change the wallpaper. The desmiler app is similar to minesweeper but the mines are replaced by smilers (entities present in the backrooms). Finally, the padlock app is for you to investigate. I hope you enjoy! https://rnav09.github.io/BackOS/", "repo": "https://github.com/rnav09/coolwebos1", "demo": "https://rnav09.github.io/BackOS/"}]...

WebOS (name-tbd) This is my first coding project ever so i hope it can become something cool… tbh setting up all of the programs was more difficult than actually writing the code (so far).
Hi I decided on a theme for my webOS Its gonna be backrooms related. I did some research and apparently theres actually an OS in the lore called BackOS thats found on the computers in the backrooms so that fits in pretty neatly. I studied from lesson 2, made it a bit less ugly(still not pretty tho), and introduced some javascript in the code.
okay I know it doesnt seem like alot considering i worked for nearly 4 hours but tbf i spent an entire hour wondering why my js wouldnt work n eventually give up and use ai just to discover i was supposed to place <script src="script.js"></script> at the end of my html body and not at the very beginning anyways i added a cool movable window from lesson 3 n made the ui a bit prettier Also im guessing time doesnt work in the backrooms so ill have to do something differently with the clock in the top right
I finished part 4 of the jam and added a notes app. you cant really type notes into it right now (you can just read them) but i wanna make it possible. i also combined some of the functions that were common between the welcome window and the notes app(like closing and opening). i based the notes app off of file explorer cuz i liked the manilla folder tab vibes and i think it goes well with the overall backrooms aesthetic. its still rlly ugly tho so i gotta beautify it too. i used ai to help make the scrambleText function(it makes the note dates and the clock glitch randomly) and explain how if/else and loops work. I also used it to explain certain parts of the jam i didnt understand. i gotta fix the bug where the window gets trapped in the top bar if you pull it up too far as well
i made the notes app actually functional. you can type in stuff and it keeps what you typed when you switch tabs. theres a + button to add notes and a - button to delete a tab. the tab youre on also gets highlighted and if theres too many tabs they shrink and go sideways. i also wrote a small journal from someone who found the computer before you, so theres a bit more lore. the image in the welcome window is now a slideshow of different backrooms levels too. this time i mostly wrote the code myself and used ai for hints when i got stuck. It did give me some code directly like some css fixes i still have to fix the window getting trapped in the top bar and finish the 5th jam
Devlog #6 Hi! i finally did the 5th jam and i have a few more app ideas, one of which is this keypad app. basically i think im gonna leave hints around the apps for the password and itll lead you to something interesting i dont wanna reveal rn. its functional n the passowrd is 1234 for anyone wondering (ill change it later ofc) apart from that i cleaned up the js n made some functions that i can reuse for other apps. i also split up the main js file into a bunch of smaller files. idk if thats what programmers normally do but yeah. i found organizing my code to be really relaxing. i also fixed the bug where windows would get stuck at the top bar. im pretty proud of myself cuz i managed to do all of ts in <3hrs. in terms of vibecoding the only part i did use ai in was for the loading animation for when you enter the right password.
devlog #7 helloo i added a cool boot up animation which you can skip by clicking anywhere notes can now be saved as well i also added a photo gallery app which i tried to style like a film contact sheet with 12 pics each with their own descriptions and also fixed how clicking a new icon wouldnt deselect the old one and made some edits to the keypads display
devlog #8 hi guys i made this cassette app you can listen to songs on (6 tracks from the caretaker-everywhere at the end of time). the reels move using keyframes which is pretty cool imo. i dont really have much else to say apart from how it was rlly annoying to get the audio files into vscode cuz onedrive wouldnt let me for some reason. i used ai to teach me how keyframes work for this one
devlog #9 heloo i made 2 apps, a terminal window for running 7 different commands as well as a settings app where you can choose one of 3 wallpapers, reset the os, change the brightness and some other stuff too. i also used keyframes again to animate the first and third wallpaper while the second one is a video. i spent most of the time just trynna fix bugs with the wallpapers keyframes and deciding whats next for the project. i think the next app ill make is a game so that should be fun to do. also i realized the apps on the left arent aligned so ill have to fix that too. i was thinking about moving them somewhere else anyway. also ill try to find some better icons for the terminal and notes app cuz theyre really sticking out like a sore thumb rn
devlog #10 hi i made a game. its just minesweeper but with smilers instead of mines(smilers are backrooms monsters/entities). it works almost exactly like minesweeper. the only difference is that sometimes you might lose on the first click but its 3am and im too tired to worry about it. i also changed the icons of all of the apps.now i just have to make them not look ugly in their arrangement and finish the keypad app. when making the game i did use ai for help explain the logic n maths behind minesweeper (not how its played but how u actually calculate stuff bts). ok byebye
Devlog #11 Helo This will be my final devlog for this project :D. i aligned all of the apps to the left of the sceen, finished making the minesweeper game, left clues around the OS for the keypad app, added whats revealed after the entering the right password into the keypad app, and also wrote the README

Set up the ShiftGuard AI repository, Python virtual environment, ML dependencies, project structure and environment test. Defined the initial research question.
Loaded and visualized CIFAR-10 data (16 random training images) and prepared the dataset pipeline for the first CNN experiments.
Built and tested the first baseline CNN for CIFAR-10 and verified that the model correctly outputs 10 logits per image.
Trained the first ShiftGuard baseline CNN on all 50,000 CIFAR-10 training images using my AMD GPU. Over 5 epochs, training accuracy increased from 53.47% to 80.57%, while the loss dropped from 1.3057 to 0.5520. I used the optimizer Adam with a learning rate of 0.001 and normalized the CIFAR-10 images before training. The trained weights are now saved, so the next step is evaluating the model on the unseen test set and measuring its prediction confidence.
Evaluated the trained baseline CNN on all 10,000 unseen CIFAR-10 test images. The model reached 72.24% test accuracy with 78.12% mean confidence. Correct predictions had 84.34% average confidence, while incorrect predictions still had 61.93%, which gives me the first clean baseline for investigating overconfidence under distribution shift. Next, I’ll introduce controlled image shifts and compare how accuracy and confidence change.
Implemented the first controlled distribution shift for ShiftGuard: Gaussian noise with six predefined severity levels from σ = 0.00 to 0.25. The transformation adds noise before normalization, keeps pixel values within [0, 1] and preserves the original CIFAR-10 image shape.
