I was invited by the awesome Jeremy Blum to give a short talk to high school students in the BlueStamp Engineering Program being held at Ramaz Upper School in NYC. The goal of the guest speakers is to spend 20

Last week I was invited to give a guest lecture to a room full of 11-13 year olds participating in the Science of Smart Cities program this summer at NYU-Poly. They spent the week learning about energy, so I spent

I posted previously (here) about an Arduino speed test I did with the Uno board. The rate that it could print the time, a comma, and an analogRead value was about 1150 Hz. I just got my hands on a

I’ve been whining about wanting to learn GitHub for a while now so after they just released a shiny new Windows Graphical User Interface (GUI), I figured it was time to jump on board. Everyone I know who uses Git

Robotic Arm in Processing
I’ve been doing some pretty heavy reading and writing for the last few days, so I took some time “off” this afternoon to work on a mini project that I had been thinking of for awhile. I wanted to write

Sometimes when you’re prototyping a project it’s nice to see what’s going on with your sensors or variables in your code. Sure you can watch analogRead() values scroll at warp speed on your Arduino Serial Monitor, but what if you
