Working on the PCB design for my hall effect current sensor!
I’ve decided to switch over to a smaller surface mount op-amp. It has higher gain-bandwidth product, lower noise, higher slew rate, and a smaller footprint. I’m working on miniaturizing the circuit so it is smaller and easier to use. I still want to use through hole resistors so the gain and reference voltages are easier to tune.
Big changes to the hall effect current sensor! I’ve added a microcontroller and screen to display measured values directly! I’m using a Seeed Studio nrf52840 microcontroller. I also decided to add a battery to the back to make it a standalone sensor. I’m not actualy sure if there are lipo batteries small enough to fit and not get in the way of the screws, etc so I might have to use coin batteries. There shouldn’t be much more to add to the PCB I think so I will probably start working on the casing, which I’ll 3d print.
I almost fried my seeed studio microcontroller! Well, kind of. I forgot to put a resistor divider between my 5v op amp output and my 3.3v seeed studio nRF52840 microcontroller. I’ve now added two SMD resistors to the underside of the PCB. It’s getting really tight in the pcb (just look at the traces), but I really don’t want to make it any bigger. I forgot to say from last time, but I also added a on off button (how did i forget that?), some mounting holes, and a BJT transistor to actually turn off parts of the circuit when in sleep. I think I will start modeling the case for it no because most of the elements in the PCB are done.
Just started my physical CAD for the casing! I started cadding the casing for my hall effect current sensor! The hardest thing about it was making sure the battery could fit while fitting the mounting screws.

I changed the op amp! I realized today that I was using a 50 year old op amp! 50 years?! I should be able to get a op amp that’s cheap, faster, has lower noise, and is rail to rail! I found a new op amp, the COS8092SR, which features: 300 MHz gain bandwidth product 9nV/√Hz input voltage noise density 200 V / us slew rate Almost the exact same package (actually smaller) Rail to rail operation And just 30 cents apiece! I’ve updated that and I’ve finished up my BOM.
Just discovered trimmer potentiometers! I can’t believe that I wanted to swap out through hole resistors before! Now, I’ll be using two trimmer potentiometers, one to change the sensitivity of the hall effect current sensor and the other to change the reference voltage. The schematic shown here still has a few issues (VR2 has too wide of a range). I’ll also need to redesign my PCB and this time I’ll be using all SMD resistors.

What started as a simple idea turned into a much bigger project than I expected. I wanted to make a small sci-fi game about a robot trying to survive on a damaged ship, collect resources, solve problems, and eventually find a way home. Somewhere along the way, that turned into crafting, weapons, enemies, puzzles, multiple areas, hazards, salvage, terminals, dialogue, and an unhealthy amount of C++. So… what did I actually make? VOID//SIGNAL is a small sci-fi survival/exploration game built in C++ with raylib . You play as a robot whose crewship has been destroyed, leaving you stranded on a damaged ship. Your goal is to explore the different sections of the ship, recover useful resources, repair systems, deal with hazards and corrupted drones, solve puzzles, and eventually work your way toward escaping. The game has several different areas to explore, each with its own problems and objectives. There are also different resources to collect, crafting systems, weapons, salvage, environmental hazards, and interactive systems that make the ship feel less like a collection of rooms and more like something that is actively falling apart around you. I also wanted the game to have its own visual identity without relying heavily on external assets. A lot of the visuals are drawn directly through raylib, including the rooms, interfaces, effects, lights, and other environmental details. Basically, I wanted to see how far I could push a relatively simple setup and turn it into an actual game. What was challenging? Probably the hardest part wasn’t making one individual feature. It was making all of the features work together without destroying each other . At first, adding something new was pretty straightforward. Then the project got bigger. Suddenly, adding a crafting system meant thinking about inventory and resources. Adding weapons meant connecting those resources to another system. Adding enemies meant dealing with combat and waves. Adding rooms meant making sure objectives and interactions worked correctly in each area. And then C++ would occasionally remind me that I had become too confident. There were definitely moments where I would fix one error, compile the game, discover another error, fix that one, compile again, and somehow create a completely different problem. The crafting system was one of the bigger challenges because I ended up separating it into two different systems: the robot’s own crafting system and the dedicated weapons table. I wanted the two systems to feel different instead of having one giant menu that tried to do everything. The enemy wave system was another challenge because it had to work alongside the rest of the gameplay instead of just spawning enemies randomly and calling it a day. And then there were all the smaller things that nobody really notices when they work correctly: interactions, room transitions, objectives, UI, hazards, resource tracking, puzzles, game states, and making sure the player can’t accidentally break the entire game by pressing something at the wrong time. What am I most proud of? Honestly, the biggest thing I’m proud of is that I actually finished it . It’s very easy to start a game project and keep adding ideas forever. At some point, I had to stop thinking about what else I could add and actually make everything I already had work together. I’m also proud of how much of the game was made from scratch. I didn’t start with a giant game engine or a huge collection of assets. I built the systems myself and used raylib to handle the actual rendering and game functionality. I’m especially happy with how the different mechanics ended up connecting.

#devlog 1 #hi! im working a puzzle game callled void signal where u go around as a tiny repair/cleaning? robot called -07 and is tasked with finding the last signal left by the crewship he was on which as sadly destroyed by a black hole so on day 1 i made the start screen and made the background animation with stars twinkl and the black hole rotate? i think
devlog 2 , yay!!! 07 can now walk , added 5 levels , added terminals where u play a puzzle and unlock doors, current issues: somehow the movements of 07 are bugging (will fix) also hes going out of bounds T-T , for the next devlog imma make like a water treatment plant where im planning on a new mechanic based on corrsion of metal surfaces, also a new new reactor room , the games assets need to be reworked also
gave him a independence (yay! guns :D) 1.pistol 2.shotgun 3.pulse rifle , he can use the core of a spare reactor to charge up his shots at the cost of some energy also im planning on and upgrade system where u can mod ur weapons by salvaging parts from ur enemies , the water treatment plant lvl got a big softlocked but fixed it somehow heheh . pls dont judge the artstyle im working on it after i finish the game mechanics , ill try my best
new game mechanic plus , level , so i added this thingy where when u stand in steam it slowly drains ur energy and corrodes the players body , there smol mini game where press SPACE to fix the pipes and fix the steam leakage , also a wire puzzle where u have to match the correct wires, to unlock the door past the steam yay!!!
FINALLY made my very first game sprite (it was hell) its basicaly an electrical arc for an environmental hazard damage umm. made the salvage loot like like an actual crate instead of a rectangular blob , gave him a wrench as a starting tool , added more mini games thinking about a sytem where u combine parts to upgrade ur weaponary

The internal mechanism utilizes a custom-designed core and six interlocking center swivels, while the outer layer consists of eight corner and twelve side pieces that slide together in a precise sequence. Rather than using traditional screws for tension, the parts rely on mechanical clasps to lock into place. Once fully assembled, a marble can travel continuously across all six faces of the outer shell via interconnected pathways and custom corner tunnels. Each face of the cube houses a separate maze track panel, and these paths connect at the seams through secondary edge framing pieces, which route the marble around the turning axes without interrupting the rotation of the cube layers.For customization, the center swivels feature interchangeable design slots, allowing builders to color-code faces in green, blue, orange, and red, or slide in personalized tile geometries. The yellow center segment acts as a dedicated marble garage, utilizing concealed internal magnets and a custom maze plug to hold the tracking marble in place when the puzzle is being solved or transported.Developing this project highlighted several mechanical constraints, particularly regarding friction and tolerances. Because fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing layers introduce too much surface friction for a functional rotational mechanism, every single internal contact face requires manual sanding prior to assembly to prevent binding. Additionally, the assembly sequence must be exact; forcing a corner or edge piece into the final assembly slot easily shears the internal alignment channels. Instead, the mechanical loop must be completed by installing a center swivel piece last to properly distribute tension across the tracks. Finally, attaching the maze panels requires precise application of liquid superglue directly to the center swivels, ensuring no adhesive bleeds into the rotational seams, which would permanently lock the moving layers.", "repo": "https://github.com/noahcraig029-code/ArchimedesCube", "demo": "https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7411782"}]...

I’m pretty well, I have loads of things to do, but there’s always time for my biggest passion, coding. Yesterday I turned on a strinct CSP (content security policy) for this project, so today the pricing section looked like the one in the first screen. The Popular badge had no pill behind it, it was just the word, with the card’s border running straight through it. The higlighted card’s border was white, instead of indigo. Also the Get Pro was the same flat grey as the two buttons next to it. It looked like a CSS mistake, but actually it wasn’t. “It worked on my machine” ng serve rendered it correctly. Same commit, same browser. That is the part that cost me the most time: I kept hunting for a rule that only existed in production. So I stopped reading CSS and read the live page instead: --color-primary → \"\" (empty) badge background → rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) (transparent) card border → rgb(255, 255, 255) --color-primary wasn’t defined at all.

It inlines the critical CSS and defers the rest of the stylesheet like this: <link rel= \"stylesheet\" href= \"styles-XXXX.css\" media= \"print\" onload= \"this.media='all'\" > That onload is an inline event handler , and script-src 'self' blocks inline handlers. So the handler never ran, the stylesheet stayed at media=\"print\" , and it was never applied. For a whole day the site had been running on nothing but the inlined critical CSS, and the theme tokens live in the file that never loaded. ng serve doesn’t run inlineCritical .

The file manager received one of the biggest UI updates. On mobile there’s now a bottom navigation bar with a floating upload button in the center.

I configured gzip compression, hid unnecessary server information, fixed some SEO issues like duplicated headings, and added both a robots.txt file and a sitemap. Another important feature I implemented is the new Settings page. It now includes profile information, security settings, storage usage, and account management.

Each user has an RSA keypair: the public key is stored in cleartext, the private key is wrapped by the master DEK (so password reset and recovery keep working without extra code). To share, the sender fetches the recipient’s public key and RSA-encrypts only that file’s DEK; the recipient decrypts it with their private key. The server never sees a key in cleartext, and the recipient gets access to only that one file. Public links work the same way, carrying the DEK for each file in the URL fragment (never sent to the server), with a revoke action. To clean the code I also made an interfaces refactor.

The reason for 4-hr devlog is I forgot to create the Stardance project ;-; Btw, this is the first project I code using Rust I made this for auto updating the DuckDNS record and Cloudflare DNS record (especially PTR record) I have done the DuckDNS client and moving to Cloudflare side
I have done the base for the Cloudflare client
I have removed the PTR update feature since I misunderstood how it work Also, some bugs related to batch update are fixed
Quite a lots update and here is the summaries: I added the --filter with regex and exact equal mode for filtering domains I do some stuff to get ready for publishing to crates.io. I create a CICD pipeline for automating publish to crates.io and docker registry. Now you can use both method to use my app

made the castingCall from prettier and added an external email sender in the background
added UI/UX improvements and lightend up the background so that loading times are reduced
Made sure that the user really notices that we ARE searching for them
part 01 of the casting call page rework. Today i worked on the whole logic behind it and how it would make sense the build the form and the questions within.
part 02 of the casting call page rework. Today I “finished” the camera roll and the final screen of the application form as well as I worked out how the application system will be working once we publish.
DEVLOG Today I moved everything onto a dedicated Webserver. Consisting of an old Thinkpad running ZimaOS with a dedicated Ubuntu VM for the Webserver. So that i can soon actually start coding the backend logic. I also improved some small things that buged me. As well as a new feature on the hompage.
part 03 of the casting call page rework. today i implemented the feated from my team and redesigned/rethought how will go throu the form and the whole application prozess.
Part 04 of the casting call page rework. today i “finished” the backend. as well as worked on all the function I as an Admin wanna have and how i wanna get notified when someone registers. But i also now build the concept of the logic behind the registration pages.
random bug fixes almost time to get everything on the internet with our own domain just some very wierd and small little bugs along the way today
V1.0 RELEASE DAY!! in the last two to three days we worked on finalizing everything and making sure we can publish everythin. We also made some brand new brand assets.

star shaped keychain with a round display eye that reacts to shaking, cold, noise and gets sleepy when left alone. runs on an esp32-c3 with an accelerometer, temp sensor and mic, and every unit generates its own eye colours and pupil style from a seed so no two come out the same. the shell took a few tries to get right, first a rounded blob then long thin spikes, before landing on a fat middle with short points. caught a display pocket that was 4mm too small (every listing quotes the glass size, not the board) and the back engraving cutting into the electronics cavity, then added checks in the cad so those can’t sneak back in. stls are exported and ready.
i’m building a tiny wearable pet from scratch: a chrome star with a round screen for a face that clips onto your belt loop. he reacts to you, so shake him and he gets dizzy and mad, take him somewhere cold and he shivers, and yell near him and he gets nervous. every star rolls his own eyes on first boot, with 4 shapes and 100 colorways for 400 looks, and some only show up 0.04% of the time. i designed the 20.5mm shell in openscad with a stepped pocket so the 37.5mm screen board actually fits, hand-wired everything to a seeed xiao esp32c3, and finished the eye firmware with 20 rare effects. you can play with him live at starboy-diy.nadellasripad11.workers.dev, and next up the parts arrive so i can print and chrome the shell and wake him up for real 👀
parts aren’t here yet so this one was all software. the firmware compiles for the first time, and i wrote a hardware test that checks the screen, backlight and every sensor one by one so i can catch a bad wire before closing the shell. i added a tuning console so i can make him shiver, play any effect or change how sensitive he is over usb without reflashing. then i wrote tests for his mood logic, and they caught 3 bugs that would’ve only shown up on the real star: shaking froze his eyes, hanging on a belt loop counted as tilted forever so he’d never sleep, and my battery saver made him deaf while asleep. the website got a sensor sandbox where you control his temperature, noise, tilt and shake, plus you can tap any of the 400 eye looks to get the exact seed for a real star.
this session was all about making starboy feel real before the parts even show up. the website now opens with an intro where he hops onto a dark stage, a spotlight flickers on and finds him, and when you hit “leap into the experience” he jumps straight at the camera and his screen opens up onto the page. i wrote a renderer from scratch so his body reads as actual polished chrome instead of flat grey, and gave him new glowing mint eyes. i also moved the keyring off the outside of the star and into a hole through its point, rebuilt the 3d files around it, and re-rendered everything in black chrome with a steel ring through it. every link and heading on the site now reacts when you hover, with letters that roll and ripple as your cursor moves over them. next up is building the real one once the parts arrive....

The arm uses 5 servo motors for the arm and 1 stepper motor for the base to provide movement. Every joint in this arm is controlled through a local web app that I am running on my laptop. All of the controls, calculations, etc., are all on my laptop. The ESP32 only acts as a motor controller, receiving commands through wifi and controlling the motors. The thing that I am most proud of is the code and coordinate control. This was the first time I did a project with this scale of code, and I am proud that it works well. This was also the first time I made a web app and combining it with an ESP32. The most challenging part about this project was definitely the mechanical design. Everything in CAD worked smoothly with no mistakes, but when I printed it out, big and small errors kept showing up that delayed my project by a few weeks. I had to go through many iterations until I got one that worked. FYI the angle processing in the code is tailored to my specific motor angles and position.", "repo": "https://github.com/jakecao18/Robot-Arm", "demo": ""}]...

Devlog #1 Completed the CAD assembly for my robot arm. I plan it to be a 5-DOF arm with 5 motors for movement and 1 motor for the claw. I’m using 5 servos and 1 stepper motor right now but I don’t know if I should change it all into servos. I also made the arm be able to swap grippers pretty easily. Im gonna print everything for this arm, gears, gripper, etc. I can also 3d print the ball bearings but I think its better to buy them. The next step is to start printing everything, buying all the parts and start assembling it. Once Im done assembling Ill start coding it. I plan for the arm to run on a Raspberry Pi and be controlled via an app.
Devlog #2 Finished printing everything and started testing if everything fit together. Some of the components had weak spots or didn’t fit together well. I had to go back and forth between CAD and printing for a while because my tolerances weren’t quite correct. Everything fits nicely now. I also made a GitHub repo and added all the CAD files, BOM, pictures etc. I will update GitHub frequently, and everything needed to recreate this project will be there. I also made a wiring diagram and in the process realized that I needed a few more components to make sure that the arm would work smoothly and safely.

The next steps now is probably to buy the components and then assemble the robot. In the meantime though I think I can start writing some code on Inverse Kinematics for the Robot. I want it to be able to move all the servos to the correct angle when given some coordinates.
Devlog #3 So now i have printed all the parts and assembled the arm up to the wrist, but a few problems prevented the arm from moving properly. The gears at the elbow are slipping when under load and also the shafts supporting them are not stable. I think I can fix this by locking the two shafts together and using wider M2 gears. The belt at the shoulder is also slipping under load. I think that i just need the gears to be bigger so that they can tension the belt better. The elbow joint servo doesnt have enough movement to drive the whole elbow 180 degrees because of the gears. I messed up this part because i was supposed to buy the 270 degree servo not the 180 one. Ill be waiting for the 270 servo to arrive. Aside from those problems I have written code so that I can control the servos by angle and not PWM pulses. The base of the arm works fine, Ill be controlling that as soon as i learn how to control a stepper motor. For now I have redesigned most of the arm to fix these problems, but as i wait for the servo and all the parts to print, ill try to work on a web that can control the arm.
Devlog #4 So ive finished the CAD for the new parts and assembled the robot arm, but the wrist roll and gripper will be attached later. the elbow and wrist pitch of the robot works smoothly now, no skipping or anything, however. the shoulder belt is still skipping under load, i have now used more teeth but it still skips. I think that this is because the belt itself is not tensioned properly (its a little loose), i will have to return the current belt and buy a new one. if anyone have any suggestions to help prevent skipping please let me know. for now that is the only major problem in this build. I am working on the gripper right now since the old design didnt work. also i have been working on a web app to control the arm from my computer to the esp via wifi. I am almost done the app and soon will be able to send data to the esp. that is all for now but i think more problems will apear later.
Devlog #5 I have now finished the local web server to control the robot, it includes 6 sliders for the 5 servos and 1 stepper motor and also a coordinate control. for the coordinate control, you simply plug in your x, y, z coordinates it will return j1, j2, j3, and j4 angles to you. on the coding side of that, i just wrote some simple analytical ik, mostly triangle geometry. the website is ran by flask and i am using udp sockets to send the angles to my esp32 via wifi. everything is ran on my computer, so the esp would only have to control the motors with the angles. i also did some cad to redesign the shoulder base to fix the belt problem, will start printing soon.
Devlog #6 So i have just finished assembling the arm and making all the gears, motors and joints properly now what I have done: fixed the shoulder joint by removing the belt completely, now it runs on a 1:1.5 spur gear reduction I added the stepper motor so now the arm can rotate by its base, allowing it to move in 3d I redesigned the gripper since the old one (finray style gripper) was too weak and couldn’t pick things up. this new gripper is a rack and pinion gripper that is much stronger I have connected the SMPS power supply and now every motor can run on full power I have connected the website to the esp so now my slider control works and is accurate But there are still some problems: the backlash of all the joints add up, which means the end effector wobbles too much. My coordinate control still isn’t accurate So before shipping this project, I will fix the coordinate control code so that it is now accurate. The backlash is a separate problem that I dont think ill be able to solve in time.
Ships:
I built a 5-DOF robotic arm that can move manually or remotely using coordinate control. The arm uses 5 servo motors for the arm and 1 stepper motor for the base to provide movement. Every joint in this arm is controlled through a local web app that I am running on my laptop. All of the controls, calculations, etc., are all on my laptop. The ESP32 only acts as a motor controller, receiving commands through wifi and controlling the motors. The thing that I am most proud of is the code and coordinate control. This was the first time I did a project with this scale of code, and I am proud that it works well. This was also the first time I made a web app and combining it with an ESP32. The most challenging part about this project was definitely the mechanical design. Everything in CAD worked smoothly with no mistakes, but when I printed it out, big and small errors kept showing up that delayed my project by a few weeks. I had to go through many iterations until I got one that worked. FYI the angle processing in the code is tailored to my specific motor angles and position....

Today I started a new racing game and start to set up the base environment and the map for the game. This was relatively easy to set up and get started. There were just a some simple debugging in order to fix some few case sensitive errors. Tomorrow, I will probably start working on implementing the race car mechanism and the entire working game.
Now for the car game I started to add the opponent cars and was working on the components and trying to see how they would actually move. I was also trying to implement a click to move feature for the player car, as well as kind of reducing the bouce when hitting the side of the track.
I have been fixing the computer path tracing and adjusting it because a lot of times they go off the loop and cut corners of the race track. The red dots below (left image) show me trying to conduct coordinate testing for the path following of the computer car. Then, after the car path was working for the computer car, I went to make the end screens for when you win or lose in the game. I was also thinking of implementing varios different levels, which I might do in my next session.
So throughout the 3 hours I worked on just heavily developing all aspects of the racing game.

Simulate an atom by adding subatomic particles manually or selecting elements directly from the periodic table and learn about every ground state isotope humanity has ever discovered! When I was starting this project I wanted to make something that I could show to others and be proud of it and this is what I have made! You can add any amount of subatomic particles and see the details of the isotope you have created. (Trust me there are many surprising combinations which actually exist). There are 3588 isotopes which exist in ground state and all are in the database of this project. This is a great opportunity to learn about the properties of every isotope in a fun and interactive way! What I built: :> The main canvas with the simulation of the atom. :> The element panel shows the information of the element you have created. :> The isotope panel gives you all the information about the current isotope you created and also visually highlights invalid isotopes, :> The control buttons let you ADD/REMOVE subatomic particles with full control. :> The periodic table with all the elements with proper buttons to jump to elements. :> Proper animation of the atom in the canvas. How I made it easy to use: :>Deployed it to GitHub pages so that anyone can easily access it without having to clone the repository. :> +10/-10 button help users to jump between atoms easily as well as see a satisfying animation. :> Added the ability to type in the desired number of subatomic particles for even more accessibility. :> The periodic table lets people jump to any desired element they want, so they do not have to struggle to reach any desired element. :> Made it so that the periodic table pops up with one click and disappears instantly when the user clicks an element or outside the table for a smooth and fast user experience. :> Colour coded each element in the periodic table depending on their types. :> If the user creates an invalid isotope, the isotope panels visually highlight it so that the user does not get confused. Technicalities A lot of things have been used in this project I have listed the things I learnt below: HTML5 Canvas Canvas Drawing Canvas Coordinate Systems requestAnimationFrame() Graphics / Animation Loops Mathematical Animation Polar / Circular Positioning Trigonometry in Programming Canvas Transformations 2.5D / Depth Illusion Painter’s Algorithm / Draw Order Dynamic Geometry State-Driven Graphics Data-Driven Application Design Managing Dynamic Object Collections Animation State Interpolated Animation Dynamic Numbers of Animated Objects Dynamic Shell Allocation UI State I am currently learning web development and these are my early steps. This is my first time using canvas so I gave it my best. The project may look very long in itself but it would have been way longer if you add the time spent reading documentation and watching videos about canvas Api. Since I started in stardance I have gone from not even knowing html syntax to here and I plan to further improve my understanding of canvas by making a game next. So, wish me luck.

Fixed the plus 10 button so it goes up to 118 instead of stopping if there is less than 10 electrons left to 118. That will be all I will ship this and other features will come in future updates like exit animations and ion panel. There is a lot more I could do but I have refined everything I made in this and that will be all for now as adding new things will create an unrefined product.

I spent a lot of time trying to perfect the animation. To do this I had to make changes in a lot of my functions and I finally was at the end of my struggles after about 3 hours of work and there was just one bug I was unable to fix which was that whenever I spam added electrons they would go into one place and then teleport into their dedicated locations. To fix that I made a lot of changes. The problem was that the canvas was not giving new space assignment to the electron when it was being spam added and foolish me without committing decided to fix it and broke everything. I managed to break it so bad that program broke when adding a new shell. And because I had made so many changes I was not gonna spend another 3 hours fixing them one by one so I had no choice but to delete everything since the last commit which was my last devlog. and then I had to remake it from there.

The biggest problem in this was making sure it came in at the proper angle so it feels smooth and injects itself properly. I am thinking of animating the other electrons to slowly move and make space for the new electron so it doesn’t look like a flicker every electron added. The nucleus is still the same I am leaving it alone I will fix it in the end it’s too much for me. Also did a lot of CSS changes in the periodic table and the isotope panel and the control buttons.

I did fix the flicker which happens every time a particle is added so it is very smooth now. also I added rotation to the shells by adjusting my already existing drawshell function. I made some changes in css though they are not noticable in the video as I removed most of them because the light theme didn’t suit the project.

Then neutrons did not show up until we reached 24 of them. I tried every different way I could think of solving this but this is not working. At last I thought I should just go back to my old configuration because it was good enough but now it became like this and is overlapping into the first shell. I guess I deleted my old function where I had set its parameter to not overlap the inner shell but here we are. Also I found a way to make the periodic table work properly.

Also the nucleus must be catching your eye. I tried to randomise it but for some reason it is randomising every frame so I have to figure out how to fix it. I am pretty sure it is a very simple fix that I am wasting so much time on. Also changed the colour of the shell, electrons and nucleus and gave the particles a little glow for dramatic effect. Also gave the elements in the periodic table colours according to their categories like Alkali metals, noble gases etc. Next I am going to fix the nucleus.

This project is kind of ambitious for me as it is a complicated one, but as a science. student I have always wanted to build something like this. I just spent a couple of hours experimenting and learning about canvas. First time using it. I really love that I have to use maths, physics and chemistry to make a project. The vision I have with this project is having a way to add electrons and protons and neutrons to make different elements and their isotopes. I will try to get then entire periodic table. And as my previous projects I don’t know how I will do it. I will learn as I build. This is very fun so far and I hope it doesn’t take as long as the last one. Thanks for reading!!
Finally figured out how to move the electron along the path. Had to use Sine and Cosines to designate the movement. One problem which came up was that the new frame was not erasing the previous position of the electron so I did a clearRect so erase the previous frame but it currently is clearing everything including the shell and the nucleus. I am going to re write everything into separate functions to fix it.
So I redid all the code of the javascript. I created different functions for the shells, nucleus and the electrons. After that I made a loop for the electrons so that they spawn in the shell structure of 2,8,8 and don’t overlap and another loop inside that to make sure that they all are revolving around the nucleus in their own shells. Then I made a loop for the shells with the same calculation of the radius so that they form properly along the revolving electrons. And damn was all of that hard to understand and create. In my previous projects I had not worked much with loops so I had to learn all about them and damn does this project use a lot of maths. It’s lowkey kind of fun playing with numbers and seeing varying results on screen. I think I will have to ditch these functions in the future because my end goal is to get all the 118 elements in there but this is an important learning step for me. Thanks for reading!!
The visual difference in this update may not look a lot but the code has changed a lot. Previously all of the stuff was just hardcoded values and now I have turned them all into proper dynamic values. I have given it a configuration to accommodate all 118 elements properly. Also made it so that the increasing number of shells reduces the spacing so the shells don’t clip out of bounds. Also having lesser shells spreads them out more so it looks zoomed in. All seems to work fine now. Almost all hardcoded values are turned into functions so I am going to try to add a way so the user can directly add an electron to the system. I am yet to touch the protons it’s still just balls revolving in a certain configuration, far from my vision. Thanks for reading!!
I have added functions to calculate the mass number and the charge on each configuration. Then I have added the properties of each element in the periodic table into the code and made a div so that it can be seen in the web page. In the video below I am changing the number of electrons and protons to showcase it working I am yet to add an input on the screen. Also for each element I have added its atomic number, symbol, name, atomic mass, period, group and category. I believe it will prove useful in the future when I add a proper description.

I am not changing the number of neutrons so the mass number is wrong in every case. As I set the detection of each element by the number of protons I didn’t realise it. Sorry for the error
I have now added buttons for user to add and remove subatomic particles. The neutrons are kind of useless because I have currently linked it to the periodic table I added to the code (yes I added all the elements as mentioned in previous devlogs). So the atomic mass is hardcoded for every element but in the future I will switch back to mass number when I add isotopes to the this. And now the most obvious change.

Now this is a big one! I have spent hours trying different ways to add isotopes to this. I thought I would add some common isotopes and not let the user make any other atom.

Sorry for so long undevlogged hours. First time I got a warning. I really procrastinate on devlogs.

My vision is that I want people to explore the isotopes when they play around manually with the subatomic particles.

I think I will look how to make the UI better first as the periodic table being on the bottom feels so weird and bad UI because the user needs to scroll to see the change. I’ll think for a fix. Thanks for reading!!!!!
COMPLETE CSS OVERHAUL. I have redone the entire CSS to make it look WAYYY better and you can see the results. I am adopting a dark theme. I do want it to look more like space but I will see to it later. I added a toggle function for the periodic table. It looks kind of useless now but what I wanna do is make it appear on the screen instead of appearing below so that the use can select without having to scroll. Also the nucleus must be catching your eye. I tried to randomise it but for some reason it is randomising every frame so I have to figure out how to fix it. I am pretty sure it is a very simple fix that I am wasting so much time on. Also changed the colour of the shell, electrons and nucleus and gave the particles a little glow for dramatic effect. Also gave the elements in the periodic table colours according to their categories like Alkali metals, noble gases etc. Next I am going to fix the nucleus. Make the periodic table appear on screen and try to make the UI look better. I am also thing of any features I can add. Thanks for reading!!
I am so freaking done with this!! I have been sitting here for so many hours trying to fix the nucleus and for some reason it is never working. I have created multiple new functions deleted those, changed those and one time is became a spiral pattern. Then I tried to randomise it and it became like a random splash. then the neutrons disappeared. then the count got messed up so every ten neutrons added get on screen. Then neutrons did not show up until we reached 24 of them. I tried every different way I could think of solving this but this is not working. At last I thought I should just go back to my old configuration because it was good enough but now it became like this and is overlapping into the first shell. I guess I deleted my old function where I had set its parameter to not overlap the inner shell but here we are. Also I found a way to make the periodic table work properly. It now pops up on screen so the user doesn’t have to scroll and disappears with th user input or if the user clicks the background. I will make it transparent in the future. Also I hope I can fix this nucleus this is so not it. Thanks for reading.
This is making me give up guys. I cannot fix this nucleus this just isn’t working. I have been spending so many hours on this I used to do so much more daily but I just rage quit when I can’t fix this. You can see in the video is is still working in a sequence I cannot fix it. I did fix the flicker which happens every time a particle is added so it is very smooth now. also I added rotation to the shells by adjusting my already existing drawshell function. I made some changes in css though they are not noticable in the video as I removed most of them because the light theme didn’t suit the project. I am trying to make the theme more space and science like more like an observatory. I really wanna start on animations but I am holding it off for everything else to start working first. Thanks for reading!!
I have finally added an animation to the addition of the electrons!! You can see in the video I have made it so that every added electron comes from outside the canvas and takes its place in the orbit. It is far from perfect right now but it’s the first step. The biggest problem in this was making sure it came in at the proper angle so it feels smooth and injects itself properly. I am thinking of animating the other electrons to slowly move and make space for the new electron so it doesn’t look like a flicker every electron added. The nucleus is still the same I am leaving it alone I will fix it in the end it’s too much for me. Also did a lot of CSS changes in the periodic table and the isotope panel and the control buttons. I am trying to make it look like an instrument more Than a button so hopefully it can happen. The next move is refining this animation and once it’s done I will redo the entire CSS to a space, science, observatory theme. Thanks for reading!!
I have completed the animation now. The other electrons now move slowly into their new positions and make space for the incoming electron. I also made it so that it is fluid for +10 electrons as well. I also am moving towards my final UI so everything is black now instead of blue and I plan on making it more space like. Now comes the part where I tell you my struggles. I spent a lot of time trying to perfect the animation. To do this I had to make changes in a lot of my functions and I finally was at the end of my struggles after about 3 hours of work and there was just one bug I was unable to fix which was that whenever I spam added electrons they would go into one place and then teleport into their dedicated locations. To fix that I made a lot of changes. The problem was that the canvas was not giving new space assignment to the electron when it was being spam added and foolish me without committing decided to fix it and broke everything. I managed to break it so bad that program broke when adding a new shell. And because I had made so many changes I was not gonna spend another 3 hours fixing them one by one so I had no choice but to delete everything since the last commit which was my last devlog. and then I had to remake it from there. Lesson learnt. Thanks for reading!!!
Final Devlog is here guys after so many hours!! I have redone the UI to look less generic and a little more unique. The canvas is now having invisible borders so it blends in with the background. Added a header. Added red colour in case of invalid isotope and moved status to the to for better user experience. Also set the cap to 118 on both electrons and protons. Fixed the plus 10 button so it goes up to 118 instead of stopping if there is less than 10 electrons left to 118. That will be all I will ship this and other features will come in future updates like exit animations and ion panel. There is a lot more I could do but I have refined everything I made in this and that will be all for now as adding new things will create an unrefined product. I have set the default atom to chromium-24 just because it is not too small and not too big to help the users go lower and upward pretty quick. It was a long run and genuinely tough project. The amount of documentation I had to read was unreal. Thanks for reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Complete UI change!! The shipwrights told me my theme was very generic and looked very AI generated so I changed it into the theme of star charts used by astronomers in 17th-18th centuries. Renamed the periodic table to the atlas and over all made everything look like a diagram made on parchment. Also added a trail to the electrons to make it look a little bit more unique. My project is based on the Bohr model which was based on astronomy of that time which emerged from these star charts so I decided to use this theme to have a little personality and originality. Thanks for reading!!
Ships:
ATOM SIMULATOR!! Simulate an atom by adding subatomic particles manually or selecting elements directly from the periodic table and learn about every ground state isotope humanity has ever discovered! When I was starting this project I wanted to make something that I could show to others and be proud of it and this is what I have made! You can add any amount of subatomic particles and see the details of the isotope you have created. (Trust me there are many surprising combinations which actually exist). There are 3588 isotopes which exist in ground state and all are in the database of this project. This is a great opportunity to learn about the properties of every isotope in a fun and interactive way! What I built: :> The main canvas with the simulation of the atom. :> The element panel shows the information of the element you have created. :> The isotope panel gives you all the information about the current isotope you created and also visually highlights invalid isotopes, :> The control buttons let you ADD/REMOVE subatomic particles with full control. :> The periodic table with all the elements with proper buttons to jump to elements. :> Proper animation of the atom in the canvas. How I made it easy to use: :>Deployed it to GitHub pages so that anyone can easily access it without having to clone the repository. :> +10/-10 button help users to jump between atoms easily as well as see a satisfying animation. :> Added the ability to type in the desired number of subatomic particles for even more accessibility. :> The periodic table lets people jump to any desired element they want, so they do not have to struggle to reach any desired element. :> Made it so that the periodic table pops up with one click and disappears instantly when the user clicks an element or outside the table for a smooth and fast user experience. :> Colour coded each element in the periodic table depending on their types. :> If the user creates an invalid isotope, the isotope panels visually highlight it so that the user does not get confused. Technicalities A lot of things have been used in this project I have listed the things I learnt below: HTML5 Canvas Canvas Drawing Canvas Coordinate Systems requestAnimationFrame() Graphics / Animation Loops Mathematical Animation Polar / Circular Positioning Trigonometry in Programming Canvas Transformations 2.5D / Depth Illusion Painter’s Algorithm / Draw Order Dynamic Geometry State-Driven Graphics Data-Driven Application Design Managing Dynamic Object Collections Animation State Interpolated Animation Dynamic Numbers of Animated Objects Dynamic Shell Allocation UI State I am currently learning web development and these are my early steps. This is my first time using canvas so I gave it my best. The project may look very long in itself but it would have been way longer if you add the time spent reading documentation and watching videos about canvas Api. Since I started in stardance I have gone from not even knowing html syntax to here and I plan to further improve my understanding of canvas by making a game next. So, wish me luck. Please read the README for detailed explanation of my project!...

Spent 11h just to get a brick cube to render…. I love vulkan. Tbh, now that everything is set up everything else should be the easy part
Devlog #2 Added loading 3D models into the engine and a debug menu for development. No lighting or transparency yet, so it looks kinda weird, but I will be adding that next. I implemented my own heap-allocated stack for computing the correct world transform for nested nodes without recursion, I think that’s a pretty neat solution.
Devlog #3 Added lighting using phong illumination and support for transparent materials. I had to finally add a second rendering pipeline so that colored glass would blend with objects behind it, which made me have to change how I was doing rendering, but it wasn’t that big of a refactor as I expected. There are no shadows yet, so light stays the same color even if it passes through the glass, so I’ll work on that next, and allowing for rendering multiple models in the same scene.
Devlog #4 Added more realistic glass physics with reflections and refraction It was much simpler than what I expected, I just had to draw opaque objects to a sampler before rendering to the window and then sample that in the glass shader. Currently the reflections are just sampling a fake skybox, I’m now going to try to pass a cubemap of the scene so the reflections can finally reflect objects in the scene. I also rewrote how objects, lights and cameras are handled to use a more general API that abstracts the renderer so that adding scripting and physics is easier later.
Devlog #5 Added baked glass reflections Now each glass object gets a probe that captures what the object sees on every face at scene load and the glass shader samples it instead of the sky. I also added a new pipeline and shaders so that there is a sky instead of just the clear color. It also gets reflected by the glass. It doesn’t support skyboxes yet, but that would just be updating the shader to sample a skybox instead of a function.
Devlog #6 Improved reflections and rendering I added screen-space reflections by using ray marching in a compute shader and falling back to environment probes when off-screen. Now reflections look more realistic and metal materials can reflect too, not just glass like before. Now the asset loader also reads normals, metallicness, and roughness from models so everything looks better. I’m still only creating probes for transparent objects, I probably should start calculating good positions for them based on the environment since every object could reflect now.
Devlog #7 Added scene loading and scripting Now scenes are finally loaded from json, using a custom serializer, and each object can have scripts attached to it. In the demo video, the movement code is fully implemented in a lua script, which is attached to the camera. The car also has a script to rotate it and move it forward....

I built this as part of an MLH Build-a-thon and I must say that the project was 100% built with AI due to time constraints on that day. Still though the links to check it out and try it out are attached already....

This summer I started working on my first mobile app. Since I am very interested in astronomy, I decided to build an app that gives you a notification when the ISS flies over you. Right now I only have two windows, one of which is used to get the user’s location.
My app is finally working! The main thing I want it to do is send the user a notification when the International Space Station flies over them. Right now it can tell the user if the ISS is in his field of view by calculating its position over the horizon. If the amount of degrees over the horizon is positive, then the user should be able to see the ISS (if we neglect the sunlight, weather and so on…).
In the last few days I have been working on getting the app to calculate at what time the ISS is going to fly over the user again. Now that this is done, I feel like all the core features are done. Do you maybe have an idea of a feature or something that would be interesting to see in the finished app? Let me know in the comments! I’d be more than happy to hear your ideas : )

Built a simple aluminum pipe enclosure for the 3d printer and currently trying to adapt Voron Trident parts to form my corexy gantry. Enclosure uses acrylic sheets which will be cut to size. Hinges to be added for the from when i get the specific dimensions of pipe I will be working with.
Added mounts for the extruder and filament spool. Attached hinges on the front wall of the cage so it can actually be opened. Also overhauled the entire cage to use a caliber of aluminum pipe i actually have.
Adapted left belt idler and driver from the Voron Trident onto my cage. That’s about it…
Did some more work on my gantry. I made the right motor mount and expanded the footprint of the belt to span my entire movement area (spoiler - it’s gonna be BIG).
Finished the right idler and both the started both the x-axis mounts. Just need to figure out what kind of pipe i’m going to use instead of makerbeam on the x-axis (it needs to be light).
Measured my pipe to use for the X-Axis and started work on the hotend mount which I’m going to get machined from aluminum to be more stable, less breakable and more reusable.
Couldn’t do a lot today. Just finalised the mount point of the hotend to the x carriage.
Added mount points for a 40mm fan on the x carriage and started work on mounting my x-axis pipe on the xy joints.
Created a simple mounting bracket for the top screws of the 40mm fan and a radial fan on the side (duct for print cooling will be made later).
Finished the toolhead by adding mounting for two radial fans and ducts for those fans. Tomorrow will hopefully be the last day of work on the gantry.
Finally finished the gantry on the eight day. Next thing on the list is the z axis along with the bed.
Started work on the Z-axis by placing the rails on the cage and putting the motors in their positions.
Created the bed which I am going to get machined from aluminum as well as started to add heaters to it.
Added mouting points to the bed and made the PEI plate. The only thing left to do is make the plastic mounting to the leadscrews. Last few steps before moving on from CAD. I am really excited to bring this project closer to reality!
Finished the Z axis mounts for the bed. They have ball joints (3d printed for cost saving) so the bed cam better change orientation for auto leveling and stuff. Only the electronics to go - FINAL STRETCH before ship!!!1!
Not much work today. Imported the main board and the PSU (hopefully will be recycled from a PC) as well as made a small size change for the cage to make in fit the parameters of the hole I’m putting it in.
Made the bowden tube in the CAD model to determine if it will be functional for the full movement of the printhead and I’m not fully sure. Hopefully it will.
Started to put things on the github repo in preparation for shipping. Basically the only thing left is to count bolts and make the BOM.
(hopefully) did everything needed to finally ship this. Made the BOM, finalised README and all the other stuff. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE accept it...

Ships:
3D printed coaxial swerve drive! This was heavily inspired by FRC swerves and it really fun to make. Designing and everything hardware related was honestly pretty easy, but wiring was a pain. Each brushless motor driver needed 3 pwm pins on the same hardware timer and on nucleos, some of the pins serve multiple uses, creating some problems for me. Also there were a lot of times that things that seemed like software issues were actually wiring issues, like when the adafruit motor shield stopped working because its i2c connection was tied to pins A4 and A5. Overall, this was the most technologically advanced project I have ever made, partly because I was using a new microcontroller (stm32 nucleo) but also because I had to understand the math involved in driving a swerve correctly. Not to mention I was also running 4 brushless motors and 4 separate PIDs. It was really fun to build and I would definitely do it again given the opportunity. Maybe even a differential swerve next time?

I started working on my godot game. The idea is a horror topdown rpg in pixel art. I already have done some Godot, but only really basic tutorials, and now wanted to start a new, nice project without just following tutorials. I’m not really good at pixel art, but I want to try to create it by myself. I added a basic player and character class, a player and a level manager, but currently it is more a draft implementation than a working version (and I don’t have any spritesheets currently so nothing to see)
I reworked my main character art to be more simple and a bit more horror like. It took some time because I’m not well using Aseprite but it’s ok-ish …
I created 2 more character animations, idle and walk from side view, and added the state machine states to the player :)
I created a basic tilemap for my game! It is done completely in white/grey/black. You can have a look at the progress at https://lapse.hackclub.com/timelapse/CiYcAOcturLs
I improved the tilemap for my game! It now has more tiles to be able to build rooms :) I recorded both sessions on Lapse: Session 2: https://lapse.hackclub.com/timelapse/CxfSRjfYYLvD Session 3: https://lapse.hackclub.com/timelapse/QI2A813NdaoZ
I fixed the problem that the player was not showing up! (the problem was that one script wasn’t attached to a scene … and that took nearly 45min to debug …)
I tried to darken the whole scene and add a flashlight… But I spent over 1 hour debugging the gradient and trying to get it to get darker on the way of the light but IT JUST DOESNT WORK :((((
I finally created the flashlight in GIMP!!! It took a lot of time because I am not well in GIMP but it worked finally!!! Lapse: https://lapse.hackclub.com/timelapse/e9Bx9rDVkK6L Now I need to rotate it to the mouse and it should work :)
I finally added the flashlight! It is a bit difficult because I made the game 2d and Godot can’t tell if the player is behind an object or not for lightning, so I added two occluders, so you can light up things if you are in front of them and don’t light them up when behind. I think it’s ok-ish done…
I added an AudioManager for playing generic horror background music and a AudioStreamPlayer to the player to play the player’s footstep sound. The next step is to build a bigger map with doors etc
I reworked my complete spritesheet to be fully topdown instead of 45 degrees as before. This is imo much better for a horror game, and another pro is that I don’t have to bother when the player or light is in front or behind a furniture. It took a bit to redraw everything, but it took longer to adjust everythinh in Godot. Timelapse: https://lapse.hackclub.com/timelapse/zXPgC01Cz_F3
I’ve added doors that open automatically when the player is near them, but which block out the light by default to add a bit more suspense :)
You can now find a dead npc lying in the bed and then again an empty bed which (hopefully) creates some horror feeling … The bed changes it’s appereance only if it is not lit....

Hackadash: Setting up basics Its my first time creating a project like this so there was a lot of research involed into pyproject.toml files and .gitignore files. I finally got some stuff working, and now I get to work on the fun stuff the app! I’m planning for this app to be a small dash board for Hacktime stats using Textual . So far I just have some place holder stuff in and no logic. I did do some drawings of what this might look like, but we will see how well I can bring them to life.
Formatting & Creating Setup Screen I’m just going to say this should not have take as long as it did. Anyway I was working on creating the setup screen of my hackatime dashboard app using textual . When the app first opens this is the screen you will see. You can then either choose to use you wakatime config file, you manually entering your Hackatime API key, so later we can use it to fetch some stats to display on the dashboard. Where I ran into a lot of issues is the formating. Getting the text to go at the top of these boxes, and the buttons at the bottom, but still have everything centered in the boxes. In the end the solution was to use multiple containers under the hood to get everything into the right spot.
Setup Functionality! Added functionality for the setup screen. It can now search for the wakatime.cfg file in your home directory, or you can input your api key manually. I then learned how to make a settings.cfg file to store everything in it. I also then made it so it changed the the new dashboard screen, which isn’t designed yet. Can’t wait to continue this project, but I also need to work on/finish my other project WordChains, this weekend.
API Calls Added in some data from the Hackatime API, using bearer auth. I ran into a lot of trouble getting the API’s to accept some data, as the API’s use different keywords for the current user. For example one use ‘current’ to indicate the current user by the API key, and one uses ‘my’. Once all that was working It was taking a bit to load the UI as the the http requests had to finish first, so I did a little research and found out about textual workers, that fixed the problem right up. All in all a lot got done today.
Styling! I’m just going to start off by saying I hate styling these boxes. Anyway, hackadash now shows top projects, and top languages, as well as total time in a big font. Everything is separated into related boxes. In the future I hope to make this a little bit more uniform, but other than that I have one more feature to add before this project is ready to ship!
Time Range Switching and README updates Got time switching in, so now you can see your total time for total, last 7 days or the current day. I also took some time today to add to the README file, including some new images and some better instructions on how to use the app, and what features there are. As I said in the last devlog, I only have one more feature I need to add before shipping ! Hopefully I can get that done in the next couple of days!
Final Touches Final Touches for Hackadash, including some formatting, an asciinema demo recording. Also just created a github release (although I don’t know if I did it right) but now everything is ready to ship! Edit: I just added the project to PyPI so go check it out at https://pypi.org/project/Hackadash/
Ships:
Hackadash is a CLI dashboard to display hackatime stats. This app is using data received from the official Hackatime dashboard, so all it needs is a API key, which the app can find automatically from your .wakatime.cfg file, or you can enter it manually. After setup is done, you can view your stats from hackatime! This project was a lot of fun to make, and I had a lot of things to learn to make this project come to life. I had no idea how to use a pyproject.toml file or what a .cfg file even was. I also had a lot of issues with the Textual formatting....

This is asciier, a simple image to ascii generator. Has a simple resolution slider and a button to import media.
Added a cool background that is randomly generated by js and scrolls with css. I also added an invert button.
I added a simple export to png button that allows the user to save their art.
I added a custom character field for the ascii so you can customize it even more!

Day 3: Planning out schematics for my music player For now I’ve added the components that I need in the music player, ie. audio DAC, SD socket, OLED display, and charging module. I haven’t decided which types of buttons i want to use yet, so I didn’t add them yet. I decided not to use any breakout boards for the modules to make everything slimmer and compact, also to challenge myself P.s. this is my second ever project, first one being keeb, of which i just completed. This one has proved to be a heck lot harder and I’m loving it(?)
Day 4: Updated the schematics Still in the planning phase so i changed many things, havent really settled on how i should do the buttons yet, still looking into it. Decided to ditch the OLED module too, i’ll just use the OLED itself, connect it to the pcb with a socket. Arranged the schematics for easier viewing, adding an LDO for the battery to drop the voltage to 3.3V. Added the SRRT audio jack. Also made a rough sketch in freecad of how i want the design of it to be
Day 5: More more moremore work on the schematics properly connected the OLED (SPI), changed the AMS1117 to the RT9080-33, added battery voltage sensing, and wired up the switches
Day5: Rough sketch of J-mp3 Just a rough model of what the music player will look like, the indent on the bottom are for the buttons, i havent modelled them yet
Day 6: FInished up schematics, ready to start on pcb added so that the circuit can choose to be powered by usbc or battery, also added power button started planning out pcb, looking grim so far lol, how am i supposed to fit allat in such a small space?? maybe i shouldnt have used this mcu
Day 7: Somewhat done with the pcb should be pretty much it for the pcb, 4 layers, added an AMP cuz i forgot abt that, uh i couldnt find a right angle rotary encoder footprint so that there like that and changed volume buttons to a rotary encoder i really tried to keep the size within 60x90mm but the keepout zone is just so big i ended up resulting to 60x91mm, i really want the volume control knob on the right Anyways for the actual design itself, i want the screen to be a pop out one, as in it stays inside, then when you want the screen, press it, and it pops out.
Day 8: Rethinking components.. and researching push-push mechanisms someone reminded me of esp32 wroom 32 chips BT, and i worry BT4.2 may be lacking so im considering switching to esp32 s31 wroom 3 (might be overkill? idk) i also found out abt BT audio modules, err i think those arent necessary for this project so im gonna skip that actually spent the day basically studying sd card sockets push-push mechanisms, my pop out screen will probably be using this mechanism, just with a few tweaks to make it work, but mostly i think i got it down, just need to figure out how to CAD it with my limited skills..
Day 9: Swiiiiitchhedd to a better MCU Switching to esp32 s31 wroom 3, for better BT but this chip is too new theres barely any resources for this thing, im wiring it based on some sketchy datasheet i can barely understand sketched out somewhat the railing for the screen with my very very limited CAD skills, uhh next should be the spring and allat mechanism stuff barely got any sleep so not much work done today
Day 10: Really really crude push-push mechanism for my screen with my very limited cad skills, i recreated the push push mechanism from sd card sockets (not final but it should be pretty much done i havent added the latching pin yet, still figuring that one out
Day 11: adding latching pin to the latching mechanism just some cad think i might have to resize everything 💔, sizes of the components arent what i expected, have to rearrange the components to have them fit into the size i want starting to doubt if pocket size is really achieveable 🥀 the pop out screen will need some space, but the pcb is in the way
Day 12: So the pop out screen is kinda unachievable in freecad ive noticed that the pcb needs its own space, and so does the battery, then if i were to add the pop out screen it would need its own space too. its near impossible to cram all of that in “pocket size” and im just some normal guy so im not going to attempt it for now i unfortunately have to switch designs, so far im looking into adding either a round display, and adding a matte glass or smoked acrylic on top i also thought of doing like a flip out screen but it wouldnt really fit my design im open to any suggestions design wise
Day 13: New design for jmp3, and fixed battery circuit errors redid the design, ditching popout screen and replaced it with a round screen, like the ones used in smartwatches, then using only 1 rotary encoder for the controls. maybe ill add volume buttons separately for ease of use. but for now itll be just one rotary encoder. fixed a few errors from my battery circuit sketched in paint, itll look better than this lol
Day 14: hitting a wall 💔 kinda reaching a stagnant point, mostly just spending time considering about the layout and placements of each component to fit everything within the small size. This is so not fun 💔 how do they fit all the components in such tight spaces. No solutions for now, thinking of the best compromise, either decrease battery size or increase the overall size and keep the capacity. Also the sockets and receptacles and stuff are so far away from the surface of the case, need to bring them out, maybe adding tabs.
Day 15: reworking the pcb moving the battery and stuff circuits to the bottom, to make space for the battery should only have to change the fpc connector for the screen then the pcb should be almost done?
Day 16: switching out the connector for the display switched the fpc connector to this one, and added a boost converter for the display
Day 16: Added screw holes, port holes and stuff++ Spent a whole 8 hours on freecad adding screw mounts, adding the holes for usbc receptacle, 3.5mm jack, microsd card, and added an indent for the battery. Just missing the power button stuff. After that it should be the screen, and then fixing the length of the rotary encoder, as of now its wayy too long 💔
Day 17: clueless so im messing around in cad spent the day looking for resources or tutorials on how to make the actuator for the power button to no avail. is it really that niche?? so i just found the closest thing and used it as a reference. made a super dodgy concept of it but theres still many things i need to fix for it, like how am i even supposed to constrain it to one axis only??
Day 18: Power button I might not actually need a plunger? maybe just letting the power button stick onto the switch would work made the switch blue for better visibility
Day: idk anymore took a month break from this project, got busy irl. the 3 hours logged is me adding finishing touches, and getting a start on doing the firmware. But i decided i should ship before writing the firmware...

Ratatui I get to use Claude and Mistral and Gemini (and the amazing documentation Rust crates have) to figure things out. Most of this project’s UI I was able to yoink from one of my other projects though. The only entirely custom to this project UI element is the query response page....

Its really fun to see what patterns and stuff you can create from very simple logic! The web app is statically hosted on github pages and does not need any server. It is build on a very performant stack. The main UI thread dispatches a request to a web worker which on a separate thread executes optimized rust WASM. That WASM compiles the script to an AST and then evaluates it a bunch of times across all the needed scopes. Finally the web worker can message the main UI thread back. This separation is needed to not freeze the UI during script evaluation, but because there is a memory separation it was very annoying to work with. I used a vanilla-ish stack with no web framework, but with TS. I learned a lot about CSS and TS/JS. Using a framework would have probably sped up development but I wanted to first really understand what a framework would need to do under the hood before moving to that. All in all I am very proud of this project! Hopefully others find the concept as interesting as I do!", "repo": "https://github.com/M-Mrk/ScriptCanvas", "demo": "https://m-mrk.github.io/ScriptCanvas/"}]...

I think I should keep writing tutorials and docs to times before 1 am. Plot I also added a new output the plot ! The script gets a x value and returns the matching y value. Those pairs then get displayed on a plot using graph.js. During this addition I also reworked the core rust 🦀 engine a bit so now stuff that should be output independent, like creating a Rhai engine or compiling a Rhai script to an AST, is in its own file. Then I added the rust logic and it just returns an array of X and Y value pairs when done. Adding the UI and lifecycle stuff for the plot was rather easy because I kept everything pretty modular with easy expansion in mind. However styling the plot was rather complicated and I now have a enormous JavaScript Object detailing all the small bits and pieces to make the plot look alright! Repo PixelMatrix was always a temporary name as it is only really fitting for the grid output, so I renamed this project to ScriptCanvas. I think this is more fitting because it does use scripts and it also draws those on canvas elements! I also added a README to the repo. As testing on chrome and firefox also looked good I think I am ready to ship !"}, {"post_id": 65338, "ts": "2026-09-10T12:44:05Z", "hours": 7.6142, "text": "Help, Docs and a Tutorial Help menu and Docs I added a Help modal under the “?” button. It has some actions like opening the tutorial again and features some docs. There are docs on the specific output explaining what the output expects and listing all available variables in scope of the output. So for Grid it explains how the script will be evaluated over all pixels in a grid and the script returns an RGB value setting that pixels color. Then it lists all the variables, like ‘x’ the x-coordinate of the pixel. Tutorial I also added a short tutorial which explains how to get a running script under Grid. I hope it explains all the concepts step by step and that it is understandable. Originally it was more of a tour of the UI and explained all the buttons, but I think that most of that is pretty self explanatory and the new tutorial is better at explaining how to actually use this. Next up I will add 1 more output before shipping!"}, {"post_id": 62520, "ts": "2026-09-05T22:45:09Z", "hours": 8.4306, "text": "Coming to an end I am kind off getting frustrated with this project, I cant handle this stack anymore , I yearn for hardware again. I am aiming to finish this in the next 2 weeks! Well any ways here is what I did: Output stretching Until now the grid output was always a square, so if you had a non-square resolution it would be stretched to one. Now it actually gets the shape of the resolution and it uses the most of the usable space it can. I also added a option to return to the original method. Blur Initially I had some problems with drawing pixels to the canvas. I drew rectangles to the canvas but some image smoothing settings were adding anti-aliasing and similar stuff making the pixels look weird. I fixed that by just creating raw image data, but it was a cool effect for some situations, like generating a gradient. So I added a option to toggle this image smoothing of the browser. Sadly as it is browser based I’d probably has very different results on different browsers. Small UI I did a bunch of css fixes to make the ui more resizable and trigger a bunch of stuff on resizing. Then I added a tabbar and reduced the layout. In the normal layout the editor and output are side by side and when the screen is too small only one is shown and you can switch with the tabbar. It also moves the top bar actions into a setting pop up. Tip box Some features might not be self explanatory, so I added this small tip tool when hovering above stuff for some time. To not be stuck on this for too much longer I scrapped the idea of the landing page and I will instead add a tutorial."}, {"post_id": 55286, "ts": "2026-08-27T00:47:28Z", "hours": 8.4031, "text": "Layouting, resizing and a console Console I finally got everything working together. This means that you can now use print() and debug() in the script and it’ll output to the console ! It’ll tell you what was printed and at what pixel, e.g. [x:2|y:4] => here! . I’ve attached a diagram of why some parts of this project are really painful to work with. Its largely due to the amount of wrappers needed, because of the memory and thread separation of the web worker/wasm. Reworking this was really not fun and just doing it better the 1. time would’ve saved me a lot of time. The console won’t be in use all the time and not everyone will use it so I also wanted to limit the space it takes. I firstly reduced the standard space it gets down to 5% of the view height and then made it drag resizable. You can press and hold on the drag handle of the console and stretch it out over the output and editor. This way you can decide how much screen space you want to sacrifice. I used the pointer API so in theory this should work with all kinds of stuff from fingers to pens. In the end the console was way more css intensive then I thought as it needs some and css tomfoolery in order to scroll without blowing up the DOM. Performance increases I learned about Abstract Syntax Trees and made the wasm precompile the script to an AST before rerunning it a bunch of times with different scopes. This was another substantial performance increase decreasing the per pixel time form 0.04ms down to 0.004ms. Wow was the wasm unoptimized Error highlighting I finally added error highlighting. The line with an error now gets highlighted in the editor. During adding this feature with the Monaco editor I also accidently bumped my bundled js to 500kb . This was due to it importing a bunch of syntax stuff for different languages. Thankfully changing one Monaco.something to monaco.something resolved this QoL errors get cleared when rerunning script add resolution to script scope UI I noticed that you couldn’t resize the app to something smaller. You could however make it smaller and then reload. Meaning that it was able to come up with a good layout but something was greedy and holding on to its space. Width wise this was easy to fix by adding a dynamic sizing flag to the editor and some min-width: 0 s to some elements, but height wise i couldn’t get it to work. Turns out even with dynamic sizing the editor is still not the biggest fan of being resized so I had to add a ResizeObserver and call the editors layout method to make it reconsider its size Next up I will now implement a better UI for smaller screens, but first I need to declutter my css and html to make it more maintainable . Other additions/fixes"}, {"post_id": 52430, "ts": "2026-08-22T15:34:18Z", "hours": 9.8981, "text": "Continuing on improving the ui and some refactors Number input styling Those now also have better tui like styling. I added sqaure brackets [] to the ends, the hover background highlighting and a blinking underscore if you focus on it. Though am unsure whether it is clear enough that you are supposed to enter text into them. If you’ve got any improvement ideas let me know. Loading indicator When something is loading I can add the loading class which displays the typical tui animation spinner before it. The one made up of brail dots ⠧ Central Icon I felt that the run button could be unnoticed so I added an icon to the middle of screen. It also shows the loading to make it more clear that the script is actually being run. Error pop up Instead of just having some red text in the console I add a real error pop up with a blinking dashed red outline. Performance increase I spent some time thinking about doing a bunch of stuff to make my wasm multi threaded and async, which included using nightly features, a service worker shim to change http headers, etc. Because I felt that the script running was way too slow and I wanted better performance and the ability to easily cancel the running wasm. Currently the wasm is blocking and goes over each pixel one by one. But before I implemented that I did some other performance changes, like only creating 1 shared rhai engine for all pixels. Before every pixel created its own rhai engine. This change was way more substantial than I thought, as it took the per pixel time from 0.5ms down to 0.04ms . This means 255*255 pixel or 65k pixel don’t take 12s but 2s. This is such a change that I think implementing all the async and multi threading would just be a waste of time, so I’ll stash that idea for now. console I also styled the console part and added all the ui logic. I want to give the user the option to use a print function in there script for debugging purposes. Then in the console it’ll show on which pixel the debug comes from and what it says. But as the image can get pretty big and the user might print once or more per pixel, just adding some Nodes to a console div would probably blow up everything. So at first I experimented with a canvas. The canvas overlays on the console div and then behind it is a big spacer which allows for scrolling, some code would then change what the canvas shows based on where the back is scrolled to. After I had gotten it to display some logs nicely, I realized that this way doesn’t allow the user to highlight and copy the logs, which is probably something someone might want to do. So I switched the canvas out with a normal div. Instead of drawing the logs to a canvas the logs do get added as nodes, but only the visible ones and the scrolling changes which are shown. This way the user can interact with them like normal text and the DOM doesn’t have to render 1k+ nodes. This seems to work really good, the only problem was getting the scrolling to work while the log nodes occupy the same space, but with some css trickery and EventListeners I can pass any scrolling done on the logs through to the background scrolling element. Refactoring I am still working on the wasm part of allowing the user to use print(). While implementing that i had to change what it outputs and refactored the rust project structure. When I then got to the part where the browsers main ui thread interacts with the web worker which runs the wasm, I realized how badly that part was written, with so many loose interfaces and strings. So I am currently still refactoring that and trying not to loose my mind.

Currently I have only got a bare minimum UI and no language support. Next on my list is adding Rhai support (scripting language similar to rust) and getting that to actually output some pixels.
FOR CURRENT DEMO CLICK HERE Rhai support I got rhai to work. It took a bit to figure out how to expect the script to return an array of 3 u8’s, but after figuring out that all rhai numbers are i64 and then figuring out how to downsize that to u8 it works!

It automatically runs off of the latest commit.
DEMO HERE and as soon as github gets itself back together I can also push the newest changes to it! Refactor, refactor and some more refactoring Actual new features I added options to the top. You can switch the output type and script language. But seeing as there currently is only 1 language (Rhai) and 1 output type (Grid) they are kinda pointless. I also added output specific options, for Grid it is currently just the resolution.

Refactors The rest of the time was all spent on refactoring. But I do think it was worth it and it is now way easier to add new features.

This way other parts, don’t need to deal with what output is set. Each output also deals with its specific settings and UI itself. -> I fully switched from to . I was kind of fed up with the loosey goosey attitude of javascript where nothing is really defined.

This also means I can make the repo more source files only. Before I had the compiled wasm also in the repo, but now it gets compiled together with vite’s build process in the github action. Probably vite also has some other performance benefits. Web Worker As I mentioned before I added a spinner to when the script was being run to show that something is actually happening, but the that wasn’t showing. Because I had everything running off of the main thread calling the WASM blocked everything else even the UI and the browser would ask whether to close the page. The solution is to move it to a web worker, which runs in a separate thread.

When a WASM function returns something, it normally uses a pointer to shared memory, so that there is no unnecessary cloning, but because the WASM runs in the memory of the web worker the main thread can’t access it. So I had to work around that.
New UI plans and some QoL features Features Auto clamp 🗜️ It can be really frustrating if the output exceeds 255 and everything errors out. So I added a auto clamp checkbox, which just clamps the output to the expected range of 0 to 255. Hot reload I also added a check box for hot reloading. When you stop typing, the script will automatically run. No need to press the run button. Probably a bit annoying on larger resolutions so you can disable it. New UI I also started building the real UI. Initially I just did the layout: top bar with global settings middle part with editor and output console output, where print calls and errors will go. The output part also has a tool bar with output specific settings. An explanation of the app will go on the index and it will have a link to /app where the actual stuff is. This way I don’t have to give any screen space up for an introduction when not needed. Currently the index is just a redirect. Initially I wanted to go with a windows 8 panel style UI, so nothing rounded and only big rectangular tiles. But during experimenting I made the tile only as big as its text and when the background color got highlighted it reminded me of a TUI button. So from that point on I decided to try and style my entire site like that. I think I can pull this TUI look off, but the current styling is definitely not finished. I do however already like the checkboxes, which are styled like [ ] and [*], and the dropdown select. The select was way harder to do as you can’t really style the vanilla element, as it depends on os and browser styling. So you have to create your own. I would say I learned a lot new things about css. Especially stuff like ::before and ::after are super handy for the look I am going for.
Continuing on improving the ui and some refactors Number input styling Those now also have better tui like styling. I added sqaure brackets [] to the ends, the hover background highlighting and a blinking underscore if you focus on it. Though am unsure whether it is clear enough that you are supposed to enter text into them. If you’ve got any improvement ideas let me know. Loading indicator When something is loading I can add the loading class which displays the typical tui animation spinner before it. The one made up of brail dots ⠧ Central Icon I felt that the run button could be unnoticed so I added an icon to the middle of screen. It also shows the loading to make it more clear that the script is actually being run. Error pop up Instead of just having some red text in the console I add a real error pop up with a blinking dashed red outline. Performance increase I spent some time thinking about doing a bunch of stuff to make my wasm multi threaded and async, which included using nightly features, a service worker shim to change http headers, etc. Because I felt that the script running was way too slow and I wanted better performance and the ability to easily cancel the running wasm. Currently the wasm is blocking and goes over each pixel one by one. But before I implemented that I did some other performance changes, like only creating 1 shared rhai engine for all pixels. Before every pixel created its own rhai engine. This change was way more substantial than I thought, as it took the per pixel time from 0.5ms down to 0.04ms . This means 255*255 pixel or 65k pixel don’t take 12s but 2s. This is such a change that I think implementing all the async and multi threading would just be a waste of time, so I’ll stash that idea for now. console I also styled the console part and added all the ui logic. I want to give the user the option to use a print function in there script for debugging purposes. Then in the console it’ll show on which pixel the debug comes from and what it says. But as the image can get pretty big and the user might print once or more per pixel, just adding some Nodes to a console div would probably blow up everything. So at first I experimented with a canvas. The canvas overlays on the console div and then behind it is a big spacer which allows for scrolling, some code would then change what the canvas shows based on where the back is scrolled to. After I had gotten it to display some logs nicely, I realized that this way doesn’t allow the user to highlight and copy the logs, which is probably something someone might want to do. So I switched the canvas out with a normal div. Instead of drawing the logs to a canvas the logs do get added as nodes, but only the visible ones and the scrolling changes which are shown. This way the user can interact with them like normal text and the DOM doesn’t have to render 1k+ nodes. This seems to work really good, the only problem was getting the scrolling to work while the log nodes occupy the same space, but with some css trickery and EventListeners I can pass any scrolling done on the logs through to the background scrolling element. Refactoring I am still working on the wasm part of allowing the user to use print(). While implementing that i had to change what it outputs and refactored the rust project structure. When I then got to the part where the browsers main ui thread interacts with the web worker which runs the wasm, I realized how badly that part was written, with so many loose interfaces and strings. So I am currently still refactoring that and trying not to loose my mind. Still not a big fan of and
Layouting, resizing and a console Console I finally got everything working together. This means that you can now use print() and debug() in the script and it’ll output to the console ! It’ll tell you what was printed and at what pixel, e.g. [x:2|y:4] => here! . I’ve attached a diagram of why some parts of this project are really painful to work with. Its largely due to the amount of wrappers needed, because of the memory and thread separation of the web worker/wasm. Reworking this was really not fun and just doing it better the 1. time would’ve saved me a lot of time. The console won’t be in use all the time and not everyone will use it so I also wanted to limit the space it takes. I firstly reduced the standard space it gets down to 5% of the view height and then made it drag resizable. You can press and hold on the drag handle of the console and stretch it out over the output and editor. This way you can decide how much screen space you want to sacrifice. I used the pointer API so in theory this should work with all kinds of stuff from fingers to pens. In the end the console was way more css intensive then I thought as it needs some and css tomfoolery in order to scroll without blowing up the DOM. Performance increases I learned about Abstract Syntax Trees and made the wasm precompile the script to an AST before rerunning it a bunch of times with different scopes. This was another substantial performance increase decreasing the per pixel time form 0.04ms down to 0.004ms. Wow was the wasm unoptimized Error highlighting I finally added error highlighting. The line with an error now gets highlighted in the editor. During adding this feature with the Monaco editor I also accidently bumped my bundled js to 500kb . This was due to it importing a bunch of syntax stuff for different languages. Thankfully changing one Monaco.something to monaco.something resolved this QoL errors get cleared when rerunning script add resolution to script scope UI I noticed that you couldn’t resize the app to something smaller. You could however make it smaller and then reload. Meaning that it was able to come up with a good layout but something was greedy and holding on to its space. Width wise this was easy to fix by adding a dynamic sizing flag to the editor and some min-width: 0 s to some elements, but height wise i couldn’t get it to work. Turns out even with dynamic sizing the editor is still not the biggest fan of being resized so I had to add a ResizeObserver and call the editors layout method to make it reconsider its size Next up I will now implement a better UI for smaller screens, but first I need to declutter my css and html to make it more maintainable . Other additions/fixes
Coming to an end I am kind off getting frustrated with this project, I cant handle this stack anymore , I yearn for hardware again. I am aiming to finish this in the next 2 weeks! Well any ways here is what I did: Output stretching Until now the grid output was always a square, so if you had a non-square resolution it would be stretched to one. Now it actually gets the shape of the resolution and it uses the most of the usable space it can. I also added a option to return to the original method. Blur Initially I had some problems with drawing pixels to the canvas. I drew rectangles to the canvas but some image smoothing settings were adding anti-aliasing and similar stuff making the pixels look weird. I fixed that by just creating raw image data, but it was a cool effect for some situations, like generating a gradient. So I added a option to toggle this image smoothing of the browser. Sadly as it is browser based I’d probably has very different results on different browsers. Small UI I did a bunch of css fixes to make the ui more resizable and trigger a bunch of stuff on resizing. Then I added a tabbar and reduced the layout. In the normal layout the editor and output are side by side and when the screen is too small only one is shown and you can switch with the tabbar. It also moves the top bar actions into a setting pop up. Tip box Some features might not be self explanatory, so I added this small tip tool when hovering above stuff for some time. To not be stuck on this for too much longer I scrapped the idea of the landing page and I will instead add a tutorial.
Help, Docs and a Tutorial Help menu and Docs I added a Help modal under the “?” button. It has some actions like opening the tutorial again and features some docs. There are docs on the specific output explaining what the output expects and listing all available variables in scope of the output. So for Grid it explains how the script will be evaluated over all pixels in a grid and the script returns an RGB value setting that pixels color. Then it lists all the variables, like ‘x’ the x-coordinate of the pixel. Tutorial I also added a short tutorial which explains how to get a running script under Grid. I hope it explains all the concepts step by step and that it is understandable. Originally it was more of a tour of the UI and explained all the buttons, but I think that most of that is pretty self explanatory and the new tutorial is better at explaining how to actually use this. Next up I will add 1 more output before shipping!
Final touches Spelling mistakes I fixed a lot of spelling mistakes in the tutorial and help box sections. I think I should keep writing tutorials and docs to times before 1 am. Plot I also added a new output the plot ! The script gets a x value and returns the matching y value. Those pairs then get displayed on a plot using graph.js. During this addition I also reworked the core rust 🦀 engine a bit so now stuff that should be output independent, like creating a Rhai engine or compiling a Rhai script to an AST, is in its own file. Then I added the rust logic and it just returns an array of X and Y value pairs when done. Adding the UI and lifecycle stuff for the plot was rather easy because I kept everything pretty modular with easy expansion in mind. However styling the plot was rather complicated and I now have a enormous JavaScript Object detailing all the small bits and pieces to make the plot look alright! Repo PixelMatrix was always a temporary name as it is only really fitting for the grid output, so I renamed this project to ScriptCanvas. I think this is more fitting because it does use scripts and it also draws those on canvas elements! I also added a README to the repo. As testing on chrome and firefox also looked good I think I am ready to ship !
Ships:
I made a web app where you can make simple scripts to create interesting outputs. Its really fun to see what patterns and stuff you can create from very simple logic! The web app is statically hosted on github pages and does not need any server. It is build on a very performant stack. The main UI thread dispatches a request to a web worker which on a separate thread executes optimized rust WASM. That WASM compiles the script to an AST and then evaluates it a bunch of times across all the needed scopes. Finally the web worker can message the main UI thread back. This separation is needed to not freeze the UI during script evaluation, but because there is a memory separation it was very annoying to work with. I used a vanilla-ish stack with no web framework, but with TS. I learned a lot about CSS and TS/JS. Using a framework would have probably sped up development but I wanted to first really understand what a framework would need to do under the hood before moving to that. All in all I am very proud of this project! Hopefully others find the concept as interesting as I do!...
