Arduino Blink ProjX

I'm both excited and feeling goofy this Christmas break. Excited to explore the world of electronics that I've desired for some time, and goofy at how proud I am of the super simple projects that I've prototyped with an arduino and breadboard. I had a Raspberry Pi in the past, but the way that I utilized that was mainly as a cheap CPU and for coding. Arduino seems to be much more aligned to making programmable electronics. Suits me fine!

Thus far I've used the Elegoo Uno R3 (super starter kit; Amazon $30), which is a clone of the Arduino Uno (I think). It came with a set of tutorials and thus far I am up to buzzers (lessons 5&6). All of the tutorials can be gotten free @ elegoo.com/download.

Here's a quick list of what I've made:

Blink_morse_i_love_u - The board "L" led blinks "i love u" in Morse code.
RGB_LED_USA - 2 codes:

switches LED from red to white to blue in a loop.
blends color from red to white to blue in a loop.

Digital_Input_LED - 1 button input pressed will trigger the morse "i love u" sequence and the other will turn the LED on for a few seconds.

Here are the codes written in Arduino IDE

I also found a few cool videos and updates for some things to think about moving forward as I seek to make cheap toys, gifts, nick knacks and other trinkets in the future.

Modules on Virtual Memory | Making the Most of Ancestral Intelligence

This project was conceived to better understand the future of the internet, given Generative AI and the burgeoning population. This ultimately has to do with the increasingly abundant amount of information, and our increasing collective ability to remember a lot of what has happened, and recollect what has happened; all of us, Generative AI included. I would like that we amended our current semantics to Generative Ancestral Intelligence , as I think that this gives a clearer idea for the matter of discussion. Below find the modules for this iterative journey through the expanse of The Mind.

Backpack Band-IT - Guitar, Keyboard, Drums on the OTG

After hanging with my buddy Chris for the 4th of July, I was reinspired to look into how to do an extremely portable band system. He likes recording him and his buddies making music and fiddles with things like using his tablet for drums when he's on vacation or at someone's house. A real prohibitive factor for making music is the instruments require a lot of space and are a massive headache to consider when traveling. And an absolute no-go when flying. As a first pass into a portable music system I consider using what I already have, with the exception of one item which would make this a really cool project: the short scale fold up guitar! First what I already have: I conceive the SmartPhone to be the recorder since I will likely want to make fire hot music recordings go viral instantly. There is an app (Piano Extreme: OTG Keyboard) which allows you turn your OTG keyboard hooked up to your phone as a musical keyboard (assigning notes to each character but...

Curb Carriage Wheel-Axel Restoration

Carriage wheel restoration took 4 bic pens (lengthwise cut with dissection scissors), crazy glue for the stress cracked wheels, and hot glue to reinforce. The wheel frame had to be stabilized because it was creeping inward on the axis. That's what caused the wheel stress. The wheels and the hub are one piece so that was all cracked up. We'll have to be careful with it, but I think it should be good for dollie transport again.
