Devlog 1 So, I have been working for a while in the mc plugin scene and each and every time a few things often come back when doing custom servers, mainly custom items. While the process of making one is easier then ever due to the changes in the last few years it is still quite annoying, mainly having to manually write json or copy-pasting while changing a few values.

If you are working with modern modding api’s, such as neoforge and fabric, you will get a tool called DataGen which helps writing the json for you with the minimal amount of lines for diverse things such as loot tables, item models, etc. So I decided to make one for paper and to have a custom item related classes and also have the option to build the resource pack on the fly for quick updates. It is currently messy due to the fact that I am directly interracting with the POJO that mirror the json of a resource pack, I am planning on making a nicer api to make the process faster and cleaner.
Devlog #2 So, been a few days and I have been able to test and improve the current item API. We now have: Raw item models and raw item models definition A custom item API which handles left click and right click detection Pack hosting The next step is still related to items, mainly stuff like custom equipment such as armor, wings, saddles. Also coming soon is pack icon and sounds.
Devlog #3 So I got a bit carried away and decided that it could be a good idea to add velocity support. Currently, and what it is planned to do is pack hosting and generation, the actual logic for item is still ran on the backend server and it is not included in velocity which allows for code separation between common, velocity, and paper. I also started making presets for equipment and added custom font support. I also removed minecraft 26.1.2 in favor to 26.2 to support new features. The next step is still the equipment api such as custom armor and elytra’s. I think the next step after is tools. Linked is a demo of the custom font for ranks, note that it does not generate the rank texture but could be a good idea in the future.
Devlog #4 I added in what will soon be version Alpha-0.2.0 the new equipment API. It includes, Saddles, Helmets, Chest plates, Leggings, and boots. The next step is re-writing the sound API prototype in common and implementing. Features soon to be added also include food and weapons
Devlog #5 so I added a few features and did a few refactors of the API. I have added all mob variants, painting variants and Jukebox songs. A few added features and edits to the API are : Damage Types Sword & Tools (waiting for a rewrite) Mob Variants Painting Variants Jukebox songs Armor (Missing some for mobs other the humanoid) Durability has been added
Devlog #6 As the final devlog here is a quick screenshot of the demo server, with all feature implemented and ready. Armor, tools, mob variant, music disc, painting.
Devlog #7 from this point it’s mostly extra stuff that its convenient to have Pantheon handle it. this update just adds consumable and patches to certain bugs!
Devlog #8 Small refactor and additions, mainly the fact that the data package is now apart of version specific code moving forward due the need of bukkit code moving forward. It also means a support for papercm Key will be added
Devlog #9 I added support for credits
Devlog #10 I mainly ported the plugin to 26.3, some testing notably with the data pack elements that were previously implemented need to be tested. I am currently still working on making the primitives for the datapack elements currently I have added world clocks, villager trades, banner patterns, decorated pots, and for the few other look at the commit history! I also ported the commands to the Brigadier API to have the TAB completion work better.

Change of plans, finding nonmagnetic parts is proving to be too tricky and bordering unsafe boundaries. Will instead opt for a hip-mounted processor and battery unit with wires to sensor.
Worked on BOM, iterated multiple plans and ran them past my client to find the best design. Will be a handheld device that fits in a pocket nicely and can be taken out to measure both absolute and directional magnetic field environment. Will add other features such as a compass, spirit level, and more.
As hardware has updated i have some backlog of unsaved timelapses i never pushed. All other work has been expanding parts list and making adjustments.

Very, very stupid code was fixed (more than I remember writing). More importantly, they sell soy sauce by the buckets and they also have deluxe versions worth hundreds of dollars.

Fixing bugs, balancing minigames, and small changes that make the game less buggy. My friend @Ratseer has been working on a couple of these mechanics, including revamping a goofy tutorial blob I wrote. Sound Effects A big change to note was the sound effects, and this is where the suffering comes in. I had to make a global script with a button signal that each button would send, which would cause a sound to play. After a big of debugging, I hooked up pressing a button to the signal, and it worked. Almost. The signal was sending, and it was telling the AudioStreamPlayer to play the sound, but for some reason it wasn’t. We testing using an input to play the sound, and that worked perfectly fine. I tried using another proxy function for no reason, and it didn’t work either. We even tried having both the input and the signal change the same variable to true, where the sound would play then it set to false again. This didn’t work. To this day, I’m not sure why nothing worked, and I’m not sure I’ll ever find out. But it was fine, since we eventually just made a new global script and for some reason everything worked totally normally after that.

The other big change is that I added more quota requirements. Instead of just making 500 bucks, you gotta do some more work like sell items, or gain skill points. There are three right now, and I plan to keep it that way. Bug Fixes Since CC is about ready to ship any time now, we’re doing some final bug patches and implementations to the game.

You then type out a randomly picked prompt that was premade, and you are scored on your speed and accuracy. This determines how likely you are to succeed. You can also decide how much stakes you want to give the con, so that’s something.

This is for the con action of Celestial Capitalist, where you just scam people. A couple of revelations have been made while I’ve been working on this, the first of which is that I’m bad at coding. As you can hopefully observe in the game, it’s supposed to be structured after a typing test like monkeytype. Each time you get it right, it highlights white. When you get a word wrong, it highlights it red. When you get it wrong on a space, a new letter is appended where you got it wrong. The most basic elements of this are working, such as getting the text correct and getting the normal non-space error text working. You know what’s not working? The other parts. Each time I try to do the error after a space, it bugs out because the backspace option doesn’t go well with it. When a word only autowraps after it’s completed, such as when I type “because” in the video, it only goes to where it should be after it’s done, which looks ugly. The indexing is wrong, little things work, and you can all see it in the video. I think I’ve also made some of the most inefficient code ever designed. I’ll keep toiling away at the minigame, and then toil away some more to actually integrate it into the minigame. These bugs will drive me to insanity. Well Well Well Would you look at that? They added a preview section. Where you can preview all of your markdown formatting. Y’know when that could have been useful? I sure do wonder.

I’m still doing the backslashes. I’ve given up. I might try new formatting another day, but I’m tired. . Alright, so the minigame for faking an injury is pretty simple, its an fnf like rhythm game that is so unbalanced it’s insane. You are deducted points for pushing any button, and are given points for if you hit a note. You will be able to tell if you hit a note because it will expand like a balloon and fade away like my employment opportunities. You are given more points if the note is closer to the filling the center cavity of the button. . The point of this is to reward actually hitting them on time, and not just spamming. Missing notes deducts points. Severity of injury being faked determines game difficulty. Minigame performance has certain weight on how successful you are in getting money. If you perform in a negative fashion, it’s over. After blackmailing a stranger (successful or not), they will never talk to you again (kinda). They are removed from your current roster of strangers, but they might come back when reroll happens since we only have so much stranger types so far. .

There are dialogue options, and the safer ones like recommend make the minigame easier but you make less progress towards convincing them each time you succeed in clicking the button, but the riskier options like fearmonger are high reward types. After that, you can give a highball or lowball offer on a scale. The game calculates your chances of succeeded by combining pure randomness, your progress towards convincing them, and how much you priced your item in comparison to it’s actual value.

As of now, it still needs polishing, and while I’ve gotten the big obvious bugs out of the way (nothing rendering, nothing rendering after I click another button and go back, nothing rendering once more), I’m sure more await me. Next devlog will likely be on polishing the UI for the sell window. Finally using that clock Depending on what time of day it is, you are likely to find more/less strangers. If it’s rush hour, more people will be on the street in comparison to at 1 AM. Sprite art strikes back Everything was fine when I was drawing water bottles or whatever, but people are too much. In the meantime, I’ve substituted the human appearance with a sprite that in no way alludes to my mental state at the time of drawing. As soon as my friend who can actually draw is freed from the shackles of crunching at the end of school, I am selling their soul to the sprite art directory. Don’t tell them I said that.
Crushed buble emoji. Knowledgeable thoughts cannot describe my disappointment.
Action Screen and the Power of Friendship For actual game development, the main progress made was continuing to develop the action screen. After you approach a stranger, you can now see their sprite art in a zoomed in fashion, and click on some actions. As you can see in the video, after the first part where I flex my new sprite art, clicking on an action gives a description of what it will do, and clicking the take action button to confirm that has the terminal display some fun text before the mini-game starts. I don’t believe I ran into too much bugs while developing this, and I haven’t gotten to the actually much harder part, which are the actual mini-games. I solved that previously devlogged bug with like five lines of code it was so infuriatingly easy. New Sprites You may be asking, “idi0cy, I saw your water bottle sprites, and I find myself confounded as to how you have managed to improve so much in your art.” Your suspicions are correct. I’m not making that art, my friend Ratseer is, because I got them on the project. They probably won’t code a lot for now since they still need to decipher the horrendous logic I used in the making of this game. It is very strange knowing that there is likely nobody actually reading this except for said friend, and now the acknowledgement of said fact might have just made it more awkward.
Sell me this pen I finished the minigame for selling/haggling your items away. My markdown formatting is going to downgrade because I’m honestly not that motivated this feature took way too long to program, and i’m not very energetic right now. A couple things. After you talk to the person, you select which item you want to sell, and then sell it. There are dialogue options, and the safer ones like recommend make the minigame easier but you make less progress towards convincing them each time you succeed in clicking the button, but the riskier options like fearmonger are high reward types. After that, you can give a highball or lowball offer on a scale. The game calculates your chances of succeeded by combining pure randomness, your progress towards convincing them, and how much you priced your item in comparison to it’s actual value. Ignore the system text that says “five tries remaining”, that is vestigial and I forgot to remove it after redoing the whole minigame design. I can’t believe I spent 8 hours on this, and it isn’t even polished. Cool New Art Yes, as you can see, my friend is an absolute lifesaver when it comes to me trying to not lose my soul to krita. Lots of great sprite art here that makes the game look much better. I’ll have to clarify some text elements to make them more legible but it should be fine for now. Circle of ignorance If knowledge was a circle of light in a dark 2D plane, ignorance would be the darkness. We only reveal how much of it we find ourselves in by seeing the circumference of our small circle of knowledge. The more knowledge we obtain, the more unknown we must face. I’ve become bluntly aware of my own little ignorance circle. I’ve only done one of the five actions, and it’s unpolished, and it took me 8 hours, and the money isn’t even tracked because the ledger hasn’t been programmed yet, and I can only feel the great abyss devouring my spirit slightly more by the day. Watch the attached video to see how it works. I know, it isn’t that visually appealing, and I’ll probably spam lerp functions again to make it look smoother, but IT IS WHAT IT IS.
Polishing 0 Couple of polishing points that I put into the game to freshen things up and solve all the bugs that haggling made. Items are removed from inventory after selling, strangers walk away after you fail a sell attempt with them, and I fixed an integer division error that led to fearmongering being physically impossible to complete when you select it as a minigame. While I was working on the sell items minigame, my friend Ratseer has been working on the ledger which tracks all the finances. I’m too lazy to link him, but you should check it out over at his profile, if he devlogged it. I’ll put a video of it working here, but that’s just because I don’t think I can post this without a media element.
Beg The beg minigame has been completed, meaning you can now get on your knees and start praying for money. I also did some polishing work, but I have absolutely no recollection of that. Frontotemporal dementia is simply a wonder, isn’t it? \ I’m also trying some new mark down. Let’s see if my paragraphs space properly. \ When you beg to someone, you get “dialogue options”. The options are based off the three methods of persuasion, Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. Pathos is appealing to human emotions like empathy, logos is using logic, and ethos is using authority to prove an argument. Each stranger will have a different reception to the persuasion types, based off data values stored in the code. \ You have 8 chances to beg. I think. I might have changed the value. Again, frontotemporal dementia. \ Everything is ledger compatible. If you get less than 25 progress somehow, which I might change to make it more difficult, you are rejected and cannot approach the stranger again (until strangers refresh). The more you use one strategy of persuasion, the less effective it gets. I plan to make this effect more pronounced when balancing. \ That’s it. Please let this markdown formatting succeed.
Nothing is working I’m trying out on making the fake injury option, and it is not working as intended. It’s supposed to have a rhythm based minigame, sort of like friday night funkin even though i’ve never played that before, but it clearly isn’t working. \ All the icons are sideways, there are too much notes, and for the longest time none of them would scale correctly because I forgot to assign the new scale to the scale property. \ Markdown, again Okay I think I got it this time. If I just leave the backslashes alone…
Blackmail and a Broken Clavicle You can now fake an injury, and demand blackmail to keep quiet about it and not make a fuss. In the true spirit of Reigen Arataka, you can pretend your clavicle is broken too. All of you should watch mob psycho. The recording attached better be the right one. . I’m still doing the backslashes. I’ve given up. I might try new formatting another day, but I’m tired. . Alright, so the minigame for faking an injury is pretty simple, its an fnf like rhythm game that is so unbalanced it’s insane. You are deducted points for pushing any button, and are given points for if you hit a note. You will be able to tell if you hit a note because it will expand like a balloon and fade away like my employment opportunities. You are given more points if the note is closer to the filling the center cavity of the button. . The point of this is to reward actually hitting them on time, and not just spamming. Missing notes deducts points. Severity of injury being faked determines game difficulty. Minigame performance has certain weight on how successful you are in getting money. If you perform in a negative fashion, it’s over. After blackmailing a stranger (successful or not), they will never talk to you again (kinda). They are removed from your current roster of strangers, but they might come back when reroll happens since we only have so much stranger types so far. . This thing is so heinously unbalanced, it’s insane. All the values need to be tweaked, and I haven’t done enough playtesting to know if it is fair or not. I’m hoping tweaking the values will be easy, but it might be hard to polish. That’s for another day. . Update on friendship My friend is working on actually interesting randomized dialogue, so that should be something to look forward to. Check out Ratseer’s stuff.
I’m Bad at Coding Recently, I’ve been trying to code a typing minigame where you do a type test to increase your chances of success. This is for the con action of Celestial Capitalist, where you just scam people. A couple of revelations have been made while I’ve been working on this, the first of which is that I’m bad at coding. As you can hopefully observe in the game, it’s supposed to be structured after a typing test like monkeytype. Each time you get it right, it highlights white. When you get a word wrong, it highlights it red. When you get it wrong on a space, a new letter is appended where you got it wrong. The most basic elements of this are working, such as getting the text correct and getting the normal non-space error text working. You know what’s not working? The other parts. Each time I try to do the error after a space, it bugs out because the backspace option doesn’t go well with it. When a word only autowraps after it’s completed, such as when I type “because” in the video, it only goes to where it should be after it’s done, which looks ugly. The indexing is wrong, little things work, and you can all see it in the video. I think I’ve also made some of the most inefficient code ever designed. I’ll keep toiling away at the minigame, and then toil away some more to actually integrate it into the minigame. These bugs will drive me to insanity. Well Well Well Would you look at that? They added a preview section. Where you can preview all of your markdown formatting. Y’know when that could have been useful? I sure do wonder. Markdown formatting is now my enemy.
Con Minigame Completed It’s been nine days, and I’ve worked on one minigame for 12 hours. The typing based minigame for conning strangers is now complete! When you con someone, you choose how you want to con them, for example a fake business opportunity, magical exorcism, or maybe even an unwinnable game to bet money on. You then type out a randomly picked prompt that was premade, and you are scored on your speed and accuracy. This determines how likely you are to succeed. You can also decide how much stakes you want to give the con, so that’s something. When you get something wrong, it highlights what was supposed to be typed red, unless you got it wrong on a space, in which it puts in what character you typed in red highlight where you typed it.. I won’t lie, it’s a bit unpolished. There are some weird text wrapping bugs that are unpleasant to look at, but it should be fine for the most part. This kinda took way too long, but whatever. We take what we can get. Meanwhile, at the Legion of Doom… My associate who is also working on this project, @Ratseer has gotten strangers new sprites, names, and all that, along with a brand new scavenging system which I recommend you check out on all his devlogs. Formatting still sucks The preview function is great, thank you Stardance team. But still, now the ctrl Z shortcut is wonky, it’s harder to put in more line breaks when pressing the enter key, and also I tried uploading this earlier with the video and it said the video size was too large, and deleted the entire devlog, so now I’m writing this again. Features for thought. Celestial Capitalist Thank you for checking in with Celestial Capitalist, developed by @idi0cy and @Ratseer .
Steal Function In Progress Of course, there needs to be an option to rob people. Hence, stealing. I’ve programmed the stealth minigame into the stealing function of the game, and it works perfectly fine. The strength one, well not so much. Going to have to give a bit more of a wait on that one. Heavily inspired by Stardew Valley’s fishing minigame. I have to log these hours before I reach ten, because I just found out that stardance does NOT do overtime pay. Celestial Capitalist Greedily developed by @idi0cy and @Ratseer .
Quota Function Completed I’ve been on just a bit of a hiatus. The steal function has been fully completed, with a strength minigame based off both aim training and also timing. Also, I have a functioning quota system. You have certain tasks to complete before moving on to the next “level”, which definitely won’t be programmed very soon at the exponentially decaying rate that I’m moving at. I’m going to start looking at returning to daily contribution, all for those ikea sharks. You can focus the progress bar on certain tasks to complete, such as the cash requirement which is the only one right now. It fills in automatically, and has a nice texture. See the video for how it works. Thank you for viewing celestial capitalist, its not abandoned quite yet. Debatably developed by @idi0cy and @Ratseer .
Skill Point System Completed I’m back, with more consistent developing time. The skills system has been completed, and its relatively simple which is actually a nice break. Typing minigame nearly killed me. You have certain attributes that you can divest your skill points into. A lot of these are the typical DnD stats, but some of them are different. Every three minutes you gain a skill point, which might be changed for balancing. Every time you complete a minigame from the get money section, you have the chance to get a skill point. Certain skills help with certain minigames, and the more you have the more positive modifiers you get for that minigame. This is all pretty intuitive. There are some parts not yet filled out, since I don’t know at all how the scavenge code works because my friend made that and not me. Celestial Capitalist Inconsistently developed by @idi0cy and @Ratseer .
Title Screen Functionality For the longest time, the title screen has been completely non-functional. That ends today, when I do some actually easy coding and give functionality* to all of the buttons I put onto the title screen. Start game initiates a loading popup before loading the next scene. Credits gives the same text each time, with the exception of the green highlighted text, which chooses a random adjective each time the credits button is pressed. The settings are a lie. Celestial Capitalist var wordBank = ["debatably", "demonstrably", "woefully"] var msg = str(wordBank[randi_range(0, len(wordBank) - 1]) + " developed by @idi0cy and @Ratseer" print(msg)
Random Events It’s another day where I’ve actually done some coding work, and I completed the random events function of this game. Every 180 seconds a randomly selected random event occurs, and a popup shows up telling you what happened. Get robbed, find money on the floor, get robbed again, anything could happen. Each event has a different “weight” to it, which determines how likely it is to happen. In this recording, I changed the weight of losing an item to 2000, giving it a practically guaranteed chance of being picked. Event log will probably be removed, since it isn’t actually useful. Celestial Capitalist Legally developed by @Ratseer and @idi0cy .
Title Screen and a Heftier Quota I did a couple things, starting with an upgrade to the title screen system. Now, you can read a bit about your role in this game before you’re thrown into the deep end. I wrote up a quick explanation, but it might get changed in the future based on vibes. The other big change is that I added more quota requirements. Instead of just making 500 bucks, you gotta do some more work like sell items, or gain skill points. There are three right now, and I plan to keep it that way. Bug Fixes Since CC is about ready to ship any time now, we’re doing some final bug patches and implementations to the game. I fixed a counting error on the fake injury game mode, as well as a bad gameplay mechanic in the sell minigame that caused targets to spawn on top of each other. Celestial Capitalist Treacherously developed by @Ratseer and @idi0cy
Polishing and Suffering Celestial capitalist is nearing it’s completion, so over the past week or so I’ve just been polishing everything. Fixing bugs, balancing minigames, and small changes that make the game less buggy. My friend @Ratseer has been working on a couple of these mechanics, including revamping a goofy tutorial blob I wrote. Sound Effects A big change to note was the sound effects, and this is where the suffering comes in. I had to make a global script with a button signal that each button would send, which would cause a sound to play. After a big of debugging, I hooked up pressing a button to the signal, and it worked. Almost. The signal was sending, and it was telling the AudioStreamPlayer to play the sound, but for some reason it wasn’t. We testing using an input to play the sound, and that worked perfectly fine. I tried using another proxy function for no reason, and it didn’t work either. We even tried having both the input and the signal change the same variable to true, where the sound would play then it set to false again. This didn’t work. To this day, I’m not sure why nothing worked, and I’m not sure I’ll ever find out. But it was fine, since we eventually just made a new global script and for some reason everything worked totally normally after that. The image attached below depicts the setup we used for this coding conundrum. Celestial Capitalist Shrewdly developed by @Ratseer and @idi0cy .
Finished The first stage, and therefor the shipped version of Celestial Capitalist (all rights reserved) is completed! I just spent over four hours in a voice call with @Ratseer patching all the bugs and balancing all the minigames. Audio settings work, but only on the editor version. The only forum post we found with a possible answer just told us they fixed but don’t know how, so our questions were not answered. Minigames were balanced, the sort. Very, very stupid code was fixed (more than I remember writing). More importantly, they sell soy sauce by the buckets and they also have deluxe versions worth hundreds of dollars. This fact was found out after I realized we priced soy sauce at $45. All the items were subsequently revalued. Celestial Capitalist Finally (but not fully) developed by @Ratseer and @idi0cy . Thank you for your patience.
Ships:
Celestial Capitalist is a simulation game where the player simultaneously builds and ascends the corporate ladder from the bottom of the street to the self-built throne at the top of the cosmos. Beg your way from homelessness, run a lemonade stand, scam grandmas on the internet, start a cult, play union-buster tower defence, and generally just have a grand stupid time while the world slowly bends to your will. Coding is mighty stupid, and I had a lot of trouble patching all of the many bugs. With all that out of the way, I hope you enjoy Celestial Capitalist!...

Wakatime did NOT like me setting a different project name via CMake, but i am finally here. This is 3C or CxxChessComputer - a chess bot written in c++. Currently working: board (represented by bitboards), moving, adding and removing pieces from said board (whether said manipulations are legal or not). Next up, figuring out generating all legal moves
I revamped most of the data structures, which took a bit, but switching individual bitboards for a enum-addressable list feels a lot better to use
The applyMove function is finally done, now automatically handling castling, en passant, revoking castling rights, etc.
Finally started working on move generation! Currently done and working: ✅ Rook ✅ Bishop ✅ Queen ✅ King (kind of, i have to precompute some stuff)
I discovered the bitset library in c++, which makes it a lot easier to deal with bits, like this here function that prints a bit representation of a u64 integer, arranged like a bitboard, very handy! Otherwise, for the stuff done so far: ✅Fixed up the algorithm for applying moves to better account for en passant ✅Enabled move generator to generate en passant moves Other less notable changes
After a lot, and i mean A LOT of trial and error, my chess move generator now outputs moves consistent with qperf reference values! All that’s left is to optimize it not to use 14gb of my ram ( ) and i can start worrying about analyzing
My hackatime is broken and doesn’t cound the time ( ) but here’s the stuff i did: Further optimized the generation algorithm so it doesn’t eat all my ram Added a (very basic) evaluation function as well as a minimax search algorithm...

It displays the result on an LCD in the back, and will start the process of scanning a tree/plant once a button is pressed. The wiring is enclosed in a 3D printed prototype. The most difficult thing I did in this project was likely trying to fit it all in the enclosure. There were a lot of wires here and there, and the button was also quite difficult to fit in, as I needed to solder it on. However, this project was really fun to do, as it helped me gain knowledge about the environment around me, and I got to practice my software and hardware skills. I am really proud of myself, as I completed this project from start to finish, and didn’t give up. To test my project, all you have to do is plug in the battery pack, wait for a minute or so, point the prototype at the tree you want to scan, press the button, and wait for the results. Sometimes, it will take a little longer to get the results, resulting from a difficulty figuring out either the temperature or species of that particular plant/tree.", "repo": "https://github.com/dawinner395/tree-health-scanner", "demo": ""}]...

Testing and editing the code and the wiring of the prototype
Researched about the different techniques and sensors I could use for this project. I found that using a thermal sensor with Machine Learning algorithms and a camera would be the best for my project.
I created the code for the basic part of the prototype. The code makes the prototype able to detect the thermal signature of a Redwood Tree and determine whether it is dead or healthy. In the future, I wil re-make the code to incorporate a camera and a Machine Learning algorithm that can be used for more accurate and broader readings, not just for Redwood trees.
I have started reading a book about Machine Learning, its history, and how to train/use it to the best of my ability. I have been taking some notes and answering some questions presented in the book. I have gotten through the first 2 chapters so far and plan to finish the book in the next few weeks. This book will really help me use ML in my project, as well as use it in other projects that I may decide to pursue.
I continued reading the Machine Learning book and got to Chapter 4. The book is really interesting and I already feel like I have some knowledge (not a lot, but some) about ML.

I wired the thermal sensor, the LCD, the Raspberry Pi, and the LCD backpack. At first, the wiring was not working, so I switched to planning the wiring on paper. Once I finished that, I used a soldering iron to combine two wires to fit in one slot. This is the completed wiring.

Overall, this experience was really nice because I got to meet a curator of a nature center, feel the nature all around me, see the difference between dead and healthy trees, and get feedback on my idea.
I copied the code from Command Prompt to GitHub so I have a way to store it somewhere safe. I also double-checkked that the code was correct, and fixed any errors.
I started taking notes on how to work with a thermal sensor, a camera, and ML. I found that it might be hard to integrate all 3 of these things, so I started looking in a different path. I found that I could use ultrasonic distance sensors to detect the unique ultrasonic waves emitted from trees. Therefore, I will start creating a prototype using the ultrasonic sensor and compare the 2 prototypes together.
I created the new prototype using the ultrasonic sensor. I coded it, and it successfully functions properly. However, when I tested it with a tree, it didn’t detect it correctly (it said it was dead, not healthy). When I tested it a few more times, it showed accurate readings. I still need to compare the two prototypes together.
I compared the 2 prototypes to see which sensor is more accurate (with research, not actual testing). I found that the thermal sensor is more accurate, especially when paired with a camera and an ML algorithm. However, the pairing will be new to me because of the Raspberry Pi. I am more used to working with Aruinos, but through research and practice, I will be able to implement ML. Also, the book I am reading is going to help increase my knowledge on ML.

I will have to do more research about the actual pairing between a thermal sensor, a camera, and ML, but the book will help me a lot in the coding of the ML portion.
I just researched about how to combine a thermal sensor with a camera. I found a helpful video and took notes on that video. I also found the specific type of camera I can use, which is a standard Raspberry Pi Camera Module, as well as the connector.
I researched exactly what camera and battery pack to buy (to power the Raspberry Pi). I added them to the cart and will buy it as soon as possible to further develop the prototype. I can’t wait to see how it works with the thermal sensor!
I watched a video about using the Raspberry Pi 5 with ML. Though the Machine Learning book is helpful (and I will keep reading it), I felt that it was not enough to help me with this specific project.
I watched the Lesson 2 of the AI on the Edge Raspberry Pi videos.
I finished the 3rd lesson of the AI on the Edge.
I watched Lesson 3 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I made a plan on how to spend my time during this summer, as a lot of time will be dedicated to the ML aspect of my project.
I watched Lesson 5 of AI on the Edge. In the previous DevLog about the AI on the Edge videos, I actually watched Lesson 4, not Lesson 3.
I watched Lesson 6 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 7 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I sent an email to Ms. Mint (the one I met previosuly) asking if we could meet again for some feedback on my project idea. I also converted my paper plan onto a document and calendar so I can keep track of any deadlines I might have for the project.
I finished reading Chapter 4 of the Machine Learning book. I am also taking more notes on the book now.
I watched Lesson 8 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 9 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 10 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 11 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I read chapters 5 and 6 of the Machine Learning book.
I watched Lesson 12 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 13 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 14 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 15 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 16 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 17 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 18 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 19 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 20 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 21 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 22 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 23 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I read chapters 6 and 7 of the Machine Learning book. I’m just reading and watching the videos until the parts arrive in three or four days. Then, I will work on the technical aspect of the prototype. I have some free time now, so I thought I would learn about Machine Learning and using the Raspberry Pi in the time I have instead of wasting it.
I watched Lesson 24 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 25 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 26 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 27 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 28 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 29 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 30 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I watched Lesson 31 of the AI on the Edge videos.
I read Chapter 8 of the Machine Learning book. I will stop watching the AI on the Edge videos because they are not accessible on YouTube after Lesson 31. The parts will come day after tomorrow, so I plan to finish reading this book by then.
I read Chapters 9 and 10 of the Machine Learning book.
I watched a video about using the ArduCam with the Raspberry Pi 5.
I read Chapters 11 and 12 of the Machine Learning book.
I researched more about using the ArduCam with the Raspberry Pi 5. I found troubleshooting techniques and what I need to do after I get the camera (the setup).
I planned the way I am going to connect the ArduCam to the Raspberry Pi with the thermal sensor. I realized I might have to solder some wires together so that more than one wire can fit on one pin on the Pi. I planned the way the wires are going to connect to the Pi and how I am going to integrate ML into the Pi using the camera and thermal sensor.
I read Chapter 13 of the Machine Learning book.
I read Chapters 14 and 15 of the Machine Learning book. The parts will come tomorrow.
I fiinshed the Machine Learning book.
I tested the camera and battery pack that came. They both worked really well. Now, I can start inputting the ML algrothm.
I researched the different datasets I can use for the project, as well as the amount of tree data each have in them. I still need to do some more research, but as of now, creating a dataset is the best option if I want to get a wide, accurate range of data. I haven’t found any datasets that match the amount of data I can collect by myself in my neighborhood.
I researched more about the tree datasets, and I found one that has plenty of accurate information: PlantNet API.
I researched about how to use the specific PlantNet API database with the Raspberry Pi and hook that database to a Machine Learning algorthim. I am finally ready to actually make the Machine Learning algorithm and get my hands dirty now that I have the information I need to continue on with the project.
I connected the database to the Raspberry Pi, and tested it out using a house plant. It worked really well, and the next step is to test it outside with a real tree.
I build a CAD of the structure that will house the prototype. I left holes for all the different parts, and will print it later today.
I 3D printed the top half of the housing for the prototype. Next, I will print the bottom half.
I fixed the issues that the prototype was facing. I also added a button. The main thing I did was make the prototype able to function without the computer nearby, which can make it so that anyone in the world can use it with a battery pack.
I researched the different types of prevalent trees in California and their temperatures during different seasons. I plan to add this to my database, as I hadn’t previously done this. I used many websites, but Our City Forest was the most helpful.
I combined the parts in the bottom half of the prototype, and fit it in the encolsure.
I completed the prototype by combining the enclosure with the prototype. I encased the sensors and the LCD. The prototype is finally complete!
Ships:
I made a project that can detect tree/plant species and temperature to determine whether it is dead or not. It displays the result on an LCD in the back, and will start the process of scanning a tree/plant once a button is pressed. The wiring is enclosed in a 3D printed prototype. The most difficult thing I did in this project was likely trying to fit it all in the enclosure. There were a lot of wires here and there, and the button was also quite difficult to fit in, as I needed to solder it on. However, this project was really fun to do, as it helped me gain knowledge about the environment around me, and I got to practice my software and hardware skills. I am really proud of myself, as I completed this project from start to finish, and didn’t give up. To test my project, all you have to do is plug in the battery pack, wait for a minute or so, point the prototype at the tree you want to scan, press the button, and wait for the results. Sometimes, it will take a little longer to get the results, resulting from a difficulty figuring out either the temperature or species of that particular plant/tree....

I suggest you to open the website only is desktop mode, in mobile screen it is very missy and i didn’t care much about the screen size or width. And i also noticed that it keep a while to load the background image you should care about that, i will try to solve that! Btw i didn’t connect the location and whether API to collect the real-time information of your location, iam trying to learn the basic properties of using APIs. I created a welcome windows that will automatically disappear after 2-3 seconds and then shows the bottom nav bar and desktop icons then you can open the apps and drag as you need. and also can open multiple apps (windows) at a time and when you focus on a window it will appear in the top. And also you can close the window using the red-coloured icon in top-left corner of your app’s windows and as well as you can click on green-coloured icon to make the window in the fullscreen and you may use yellow-coloured icon to resize the window as back to normal Try to go though all features.

I made that whenever the user clicks the ‘enter’ button in app 2 it will check that the both inputs are filled. I thought if the boarding pass with the inputted name and selected flight might need to show in a new windows which makes more attractive and clean looking. That fore i just hardcoded the entire window (App 2.1) layout. Then also i thought that i need to add airport code and as well as boarding time which we need to show up on the boarding pass. I made the boarding pass view in a totally glassmorphism effect which will be very linking to the desktop theme. Then i started to work in JS, i colloeted all the datas that need to be shown in the boarding pass when the user click on the button. After all the found the when the icon is clicked from desktop or from the bottom-right nav bar it will opeining the main app window but doesn’t opening the app 2.1 window, That for i asked help of chatGPT then i found that i need to put that also inside that of the createWindows(). After that it is working perfectly. But now i just hardcoded the date that shows in boarding pass so i made that to collect real date i choosen the default (normal way). Then i made that also dynamically. At last i added the airport code for the arrival flights list also and made that shows in-between the brackets in the table of the App 1 which is more useful for a passengers. Then i thought that i may change the hardcoded weather data in bottom-left navbar. For that i exported the API from Open Meteo with the temperature and as well as the weather code. I got the latitude and longitude of Delhi International Airport from google, Then i copied and declared thats into a two varibles. Then i created a function called ‘updateWeather()’ which will collect the datas from the API and as well as i thought that i need to display the emoji that match current temperature. For that i added weather code also in the API for further information i added that is there day-time ot night-time to make the emojis for accuracy. Then i asked the help to decode the weather code into emojis that for ChatGPT just tablulated the values and required emojis So i coded that as in if-elseif-else condition with emojis. Then also added that if in any case there doesn’t connect API it will show as ‘–’ with a emoji. At last i called this function it when the bottom nav bar is shows. And also i added that time interval just for update the weather data in every 10minutes."}, {"post_id": 69623, "ts": "2026-09-17T13:09:21Z", "hours": 2.3053, "text": "Devlog 6 Today iam going to create another app called “Boarding Pass”, In this app i would like to create a boarding pass for passengers. Before that i added the previous app icon into the bottom-right nav bar with hovering animation. Then i tried to add the icon of the app 2 it doesn’t visible like it is overlapping the icon of app 1. So after i tried so much time on that then unfortunately i forced to ask help of ChatGPT to solve that issue, Then i understand the logic then implemented on the project. I started working on App2, that for i created the same design of out-layout that of the app 1, which i could save a little time there. Then i added a input box and as well as the option to select the flight from the list that i created previously on script.js file. At last enter button, it will collect all the datas that the user inputted. For first time i worked this app as testing and working completely perfect. But when i tried to work as original- opening the app 2 using the icon the windows is showing perfectly and the layout also perfect but the function are not working like options doesn’t showing and the button is not working. I tried to put the same codes under different function that i already created and used for app1. At last i found the real place that the functions are working perfectly. Now the option is showing with only first element in the list but we can’t change the selection or even can’t input any text in the input box. And also found that it only showing for first window if the user opens multiple window of the same app it will not show up the default option and doesn’t work the button functionalities. For that i updated ‘createWindows(tem)’ function by connecting using the parameters, Now its showing but still can’t input. For that i doesn’t have any idea what is going on there, so i asked help for ChatGPT then found out a solution that update the function startDragging(e), if-condition if the app contains tags like ‘option’, ‘button’, ‘select’ and as well as ‘input’ it will remove the action of dragging, That means if the user tries to input or select the value option the function will run as by thinking that the user need to drag that for it will ready to listen the movement of the mouse, but while using this if-condition it will understand that the user trying to input or selecting.

That now its perfect as multiple windows and i almost solved all the logical and bugs issues that i had been noticed. Now i thought to make for dynamic and useful to the user. I already worked on the apps main layout as in width of 40% now i thinks make the top-left buttons such as coloured as red, yellow and green. Red button is already used for the closing the window. So i decided to choose green button for make the app in fullscreen. So first i tried to change the width off the main app div. But it seems very boring so i decided to change all the layouts when fullscreen. In normal screen, the app is sub-divided into 2 sections - departure and arrival. But when it is in fullscreen it gives a bad view to the user when it still keep as 2 sections. So i decided to put them together. For that i created another div inside the main div of the app and after the header div. then i putted everything (content of the app) inside that div ‘normalscreen’. After that again i copied and put inside another div which is called ‘fullscreen’. Now i think its time to work on css part of the app. First i made the normalscreen as in view and another in hide. Then i made the content area’s div into flex-display to view both sections. then i removed the top main texts which i had made them clickable now i changed them into normal text-heading. After all i spend in js, I connected the icon then added if-condition that if that icon is exists and the user clicks on that icon and the user clicked icon’s window is matches to the app1 then normascreen will hide and show the fulscreen view also i made that to view the windows as centered to the screen to avoid moving below of the screen size (offsize) as default! Btw i added there to change the width and height of the window as well as. Now its working good. But i noticed that the table aren’t showing when the window is it in fullscreen. After a research through the code and google i found that, i need to change the accessing points of the table id in js file. In first i just accessed the tables just using ‘document.getElementById’ which will only access one id which is already accessed from the normal screen. So changed that into ‘document.querySelectorAll’ which will access all the tale bodies which includes tables from normal screen and as well as fullscreen. Now the fullscreen and its icon working perfect!

So i decided to change the position to be visible the new window by updating the ‘createWindows(tem)’. So i declared a variable ‘windowsOffset’ outside the function with value 0. Then i updated the variable into ‘windowsOffset + 30’ which will increate the value by 30 for each new windows. Then i styled the top and left with 50% + the variable value. Then finally added transform. By using this a new window s always 30px difference of left and top of the pervious windows.

I asked chatGPT to give me random 10 flight details in tabular sheet. then i converted that into list for myself! Then i created a function called loadFlightTable() with two parameters.

In this project i would like to complete a mission “WebOS”. So i selected a theme of airport which will the user can use in as airport assistant. I have a narrow plan in my mind i didn’t know exactly how should i will execute my plan from my mind, Let me try! Devlog 1 I created files such as index.html , style.css , script.js and as well as i downloaded a wallpaper of airport wal1.jpeg .According to mission guide i first created a welcome screen with very few text, i thought that may i add more text content in the future! Anyway i added a header also to drag the window and a red-coloured circle icon which may use as close icon in the future. Then i created a top navbar which is few margin from the top and also centered the screen with a width of 80%. Then i added a text at left-side as main heading and current date and time at the right-side on the navbar . Btw, i made a css function :root which can make user-defined variables which can use the variables as constants.
Devlog 2 Today, i made more changes in this project! First i added bottom navbar also. I divided the bottom nav bar into two with the ratio of 2:3 width. On left-side i added a texts like ‘terminal 2’, the location of the user but now i didn’t connect it and one more text which shows the weather of that place. and on the right-side bottom navbar i would like to add app icons and more in the future.

After that i made the welcome to hide after 3 seconds automatically and also shows the bottom nav bar completely. Then i created a section for showing desktop icons and which has been only shows after hiding welcome screen.
Devlog 3 I planned to create a application “Flight Overview” which shows the departure and arrival flight details. For that i created a div-section for that. Then i added the same css style of welcome that this also. Also i added closing icon to this window. Then i made that when the user clicks on the icon_1 then this app will open up and i made that draggable and closable when click on the closeable icon. Then i created 2 more icons near to the closing icon which i planned that to give the function that yellow icon for the current normal small size window and green icon for the maximize the window (full screen window).

At last it will return the newWindows. As a result we can remove openWindow()!
Devlog 4 In this devlog i am trying to make application “Flight Overview”. Before that i found another logic issue that if the user multiple windows of same application it will open perfectly but there is another issue that it will open in where the pervious window it open like perfectly overlapping the pervious windows which makes not user-friendly. So i decided to change the position to be visible the new window by updating the ‘createWindows(tem)’. So i declared a variable ‘windowsOffset’ outside the function with value 0.

At last i thought lets try putting everything inside the function. So i putted everything inside the createWindows(), called the variables from html document, then added eventlistern for both departure and arrival options. then changed the table view into hide and show using display as block and none!
Devlog 5 Today i am going to improve the structure of app 1 (Flight overview). That now its perfect as multiple windows and i almost solved all the logical and bugs issues that i had been noticed. Now i thought to make for dynamic and useful to the user. I already worked on the apps main layout as in width of 40% now i thinks make the top-left buttons such as coloured as red, yellow and green. Red button is already used for the closing the window. So i decided to choose green button for make the app in fullscreen. So first i tried to change the width off the main app div. But it seems very boring so i decided to change all the layouts when fullscreen. In normal screen, the app is sub-divided into 2 sections - departure and arrival. But when it is in fullscreen it gives a bad view to the user when it still keep as 2 sections. So i decided to put them together. For that i created another div inside the main div of the app and after the header div. then i putted everything (content of the app) inside that div ‘normalscreen’. After that again i copied and put inside another div which is called ‘fullscreen’. Now i think its time to work on css part of the app. First i made the normalscreen as in view and another in hide. Then i made the content area’s div into flex-display to view both sections. then i removed the top main texts which i had made them clickable now i changed them into normal text-heading. After all i spend in js, I connected the icon then added if-condition that if that icon is exists and the user clicks on that icon and the user clicked icon’s window is matches to the app1 then normascreen will hide and show the fulscreen view also i made that to view the windows as centered to the screen to avoid moving below of the screen size (offsize) as default! Btw i added there to change the width and height of the window as well as. Now its working good. But i noticed that the table aren’t showing when the window is it in fullscreen.

So changed that into ‘document.querySelectorAll’ which will access all the tale bodies which includes tables from normal screen and as well as fullscreen. Now the fullscreen and its icon working perfect! At last i made the yellow icon (mini icon) also functionable as same as the green icon (fullscreen) I done this code as same as the fullscreen icon just changed the normalscreen’s display into show and fullscreen’s into hide! Now i thinks that app 1 is completed!
Devlog 6 Today iam going to create another app called “Boarding Pass”, In this app i would like to create a boarding pass for passengers. Before that i added the previous app icon into the bottom-right nav bar with hovering animation. Then i tried to add the icon of the app 2 it doesn’t visible like it is overlapping the icon of app 1. So after i tried so much time on that then unfortunately i forced to ask help of ChatGPT to solve that issue, Then i understand the logic then implemented on the project. I started working on App2, that for i created the same design of out-layout that of the app 1, which i could save a little time there. Then i added a input box and as well as the option to select the flight from the list that i created previously on script.js file. At last enter button, it will collect all the datas that the user inputted. For first time i worked this app as testing and working completely perfect. But when i tried to work as original- opening the app 2 using the icon the windows is showing perfectly and the layout also perfect but the function are not working like options doesn’t showing and the button is not working. I tried to put the same codes under different function that i already created and used for app1. At last i found the real place that the functions are working perfectly. Now the option is showing with only first element in the list but we can’t change the selection or even can’t input any text in the input box. And also found that it only showing for first window if the user opens multiple window of the same app it will not show up the default option and doesn’t work the button functionalities. For that i updated ‘createWindows(tem)’ function by connecting using the parameters, Now its showing but still can’t input. For that i doesn’t have any idea what is going on there, so i asked help for ChatGPT then found out a solution that update the function startDragging(e), if-condition if the app contains tags like ‘option’, ‘button’, ‘select’ and as well as ‘input’ it will remove the action of dragging, That means if the user tries to input or select the value option the function will run as by thinking that the user need to drag that for it will ready to listen the movement of the mouse, but while using this if-condition it will understand that the user trying to input or selecting. That for it working perfectly now.
Devlog 7 Today iam going to continue the working on the App 2. I made that whenever the user clicks the ‘enter’ button in app 2 it will check that the both inputs are filled. I thought if the boarding pass with the inputted name and selected flight might need to show in a new windows which makes more attractive and clean looking. That fore i just hardcoded the entire window (App 2.1) layout. Then also i thought that i need to add airport code and as well as boarding time which we need to show up on the boarding pass. I made the boarding pass view in a totally glassmorphism effect which will be very linking to the desktop theme. Then i started to work in JS, i colloeted all the datas that need to be shown in the boarding pass when the user click on the button. After all the found the when the icon is clicked from desktop or from the bottom-right nav bar it will opeining the main app window but doesn’t opening the app 2.1 window, That for i asked help of chatGPT then i found that i need to put that also inside that of the createWindows(). After that it is working perfectly. But now i just hardcoded the date that shows in boarding pass so i made that to collect real date i choosen the default (normal way). Then i made that also dynamically. At last i added the airport code for the arrival flights list also and made that shows in-between the brackets in the table of the App 1 which is more useful for a passengers. Then i thought that i may change the hardcoded weather data in bottom-left navbar. For that i exported the API from Open Meteo with the temperature and as well as the weather code. I got the latitude and longitude of Delhi International Airport from google, Then i copied and declared thats into a two varibles. Then i created a function called ‘updateWeather()’ which will collect the datas from the API and as well as i thought that i need to display the emoji that match current temperature. For that i added weather code also in the API for further information i added that is there day-time ot night-time to make the emojis for accuracy. Then i asked the help to decode the weather code into emojis that for ChatGPT just tablulated the values and required emojis So i coded that as in if-elseif-else condition with emojis. Then also added that if in any case there doesn’t connect API it will show as ‘–’ with a emoji. At last i called this function it when the bottom nav bar is shows. And also i added that time interval just for update the weather data in every 10minutes.

Hellooiii, I created this project on under mission of WebOS. I selected to make the OS under theme of airport and its facilities. I used HTML, CSS and Javascript for this project. Iam confident that you guys can go though my code and understand each logics i used and implemented for this project. Now i just created only one app, i can sure that i will upload more apps and features in future, iam planning to work on it! I suggest you to open the website only is desktop mode, in mobile screen it is very missy and i didn’t care much about the screen size or width. And i also noticed that it keep a while to load the background image you should care about that, i will try to solve that! Btw i didn’t connect the location and whether API to collect the real-time information of your location, iam trying to learn the basic properties of using APIs. I created a welcome windows that will automatically disappear after 2-3 seconds and then shows the bottom nav bar and desktop icons then you can open the apps and drag as you need. and also can open multiple apps (windows) at a time and when you focus on a window it will appear in the top. And also you can close the window using the red-coloured icon in top-left corner of your app’s windows and as well as you can click on green-coloured icon to make the window in the fullscreen and you may use yellow-coloured icon to resize the window as back to normal Try to go though all features. And feel free to give suggestions!
Hi this is my own webOS with second shipment. I uploaded one more app called ‘Boarding Pass’ which you can enter passenger name and as well as select the flight that are departure from the airport. After submitting it will open another windows automatically with the preview of your boarding pass with full details of flight, gate, terminal, seat, date, and as well as boarding time. I also added the apps icon in the bottom-right navbar you access the apps from there also. At last i made the real-time weather information of the Delhi Airport using API which is my very first time i using a API in my project. I tried my maximum to put all in the theme of a glassmorphism. Btw i would like to add more apps such as detailed weather information and i need to make the App boarding pass in fullscreen mode in the future updates iam sure that i will work on that! Hope that you will go through the website and explore all the features. And feel free to suggest on anything.....

Devlog 2 (How did I just realize markdown works here 😭) Anyways , so things I added. Not really much, i’m kinda running out of ideas of what to add since the project has been mostly fleshed out so here are just cool things I thought to add: Modified Trip Render Logic Issue: Used to keep shifting a reference frame along a flattened list of segments Effect: If trips are added in a certain way, it can put marker rendering at far distances on the map Solution: Changed to localize on origin of each trip, leading to renderings to center around 1 map (Refer to Pic 1) Expanded map view on loyalty timeline Just zooms out on all trips Kinda looks cool :) (Refer to Pic 1) Airport Website/Wikipedia Links you to the airports webpage when clicking on its tooltip Random renaming Made some names more consistent, reduced unneeded files
Devlog #3 - the final one? Hi, so I’ve been working on minor stuff. added a light mode my eyes hurt looking at this T_T pic 1 fixed weird rending issue with trans-pacific flights added the LP bonus tiers from AA website pic 2 (yes I turned dark mode back on) To be honest, this is as much as I can think of, I really don’t want the scope of this project to get too far fetched with trip optimization as it’s supposed to be a cool looking tool, not really a planning agent. Probably my next project will be creating a personal website.
Ships:
I made a flask app that is currently being hosted on vercel that calculates loyalty points with American Airlines. It is supposed to be better than the other options out there by providing a cleaner, more intuitive UI, with new features with a timeline showing status progression. What was challenging with this was kinda just figuring out the web-end of it. I normally only code backend stuff so this is one of the few times where I had to work on a full frontend without getting someone else to help me. (I did use AI to assist me with this task though). In the end, I did persevere and I’m appreciative of the end result I have created. Picture 1 shows the map view of the website, and Picture 2 shows the loyalty timeline....

refactored the code base because i am going to build it from scratch now.
trying to code the handshake part but i am facing a lot of issues in this webrtc connections ,mainly in the handshake process…
i have Build some of the UI for the chart interface and wrote some docs… will work farther on the WebRtc connection next.
made some UI , and did some UI fixes…
i have switched from basic html css to React. and i have made the first page/welcome page of it. Next, I will make the connection establishment page, and then the chart interface..
new updates are worked on responsiveness Worked on degine and styleings Worked on annimations. and next steps are establishing the webRtc conection building the chat interface.
deigned some amount of the chat interface. like adding the input field , making it responsive making the button responsive. next steps are, making the layout for the messages, like how they user will see messages… receiving the messages and sending it…
worked on the message layouts, worked on the incoming and outgoing message layouts did some styling modifications on the connect page spend time learning about back-end connections…
It took me quite some time to stitch the underlying connections. these includes, token compressition showing token on linkbox writing the logic of the information flow. writing the logic of showing a message on the message box. some Ui fixes etc etc… i think this is the hardest part… and still its not done, i still have to write the logic of how to take input of peer token, and then have to cheak if things are working properly, i think it would have lots of bugs, i have to fix them…
at last!! at last i have fixed the bugs 😭😭😭😭. i cant explain the satisfaction level. now messages are sent successfully. But it is still not ready to ship now. i need to harden the logic and count all the edge cases too… but i cant explain the joy i am feeling. it might took 50% of the total time spent on this project. i thought that Ui would be the hardest part. but no, establishing the connections and managing states and variables and logic flow was the hardest, i mean most draining. while doing this i had lost my motivation many times, i thought i cant do, i am failing… but i stick to it. and it worked😭 ohh man!!!!
I have ran the 2ed successful test. and now its live at, “ https://tiyasbanerjee.github.io/One-To-One/ ” i have added some features like sending messages on enter press, scrool at the end as soon as new message comes or send. set up the github stuffs for deploying. and fixed some bugs like some scroll bars were showing where they should not.. its still not ready to ship now, i want it to look better and be more robust towards edge cases.
i have added the loading animations, and now i am filling out the docs a little. i have also published it onto my own domain, chat.tiyas.uk next i am going to ship it.

Day 1, finished the actual schematic, my pc kept crashing and I was lowk gonna ragequit because i thought it didnt save, but it did :)
Yo i lowk finished the PCB and the case and it looks hella tuff, it took me like 5 hours because my pc kepts freezing up and I didnt understand stuff but in the end i finally got it working with no DRC errors or anything. Im gonna start working on the FW now.
Lowk just finished the FW. It wasnt that hard and the VSCode autofill thing helped alot with typos. All the firmware does it use a radio library to set the freqencys and handle the power button and knob thingy. The 4 errors are because intelisense was not working properley and marked my libarys as not found, but thats not an issue. Once I get all the items I am gonna start building it and improve the firmware a ton. I plan to add modes to switch the knob between volume and frequency. Rn the volume is hardcoded and knob is frequency because its more important.
relalized the tutorial uses CircutPython which is kinda annoying but wasnt that hard of a fix because the library is easy to understand but its still annoying :(...

So I added some test frame extracting to see if it works and it does, also I reached out to the Mary Wards OffSeason event organisers to see if I could get raw video footage to train the model.
So I finished some of the YOLO stuff and added an extractor to extract frames where it detects a “yellow sports ball” it gave me a grand total of 2 frames out of 39. Time to get this AI to work.
So I selected some training frames now, and I am going to comp on sunday so hopefully can get some good training footage....

I just started the front of Mimi’s website! I’m learning CSS on codedex while making the website. (Not an advertisement) I added a header, banner, a picture of Mimi (no loading due to my poor wifi connection), and a small bio about Mimi. More coming soon!

I am training an Agent using Soft Actor Critic, and this is the performance after 12k steps of training (yes it’s a little violent rn but I will either train for longer, increase frequency or implement imitation learning)
I refined the reward function and ran training for longer. This is how it looks like in simulation after 1000 steps (very little it’ll get better trust)
Improved the training loop to reflect actual control rate (20 Hz vs 500 Hz in simulation previously). Used AMD GPU for faster training and this is what it looks like (able to balance for ~6 seconds in simulation)
Added the physical hardware bridge and it turns out the model does not do very well. I am going to try three approaches: More training in sim with variation like camera distortion and stuff Fine-tuning on physical hardware QT-Opt
I tried QT-Opt and at least in simulation, it did a lot better (it also trained much faster due to the other architectural change I made; see next). I also switched the backbone to Dinov2 Small, which is newer and smaller than the previous Dino Base backbone.
I also tried PID as a benchmark (only in simulation of course).
