From my past posts you can see that I’ve used Geiger-Mueller tubes before to detect ambient radiation. I was inspired to use more of these neat inventions for Christmas gifts for my family- controlling the brightness/dimming of Christmas lights based on frequency of radioactive hits. I made a device that pulses a string of Continue Reading

They work by having a pin inside of a metal tube, with the Continue Reading
Two years ago I took a great seminar (graduate class) by Prof. Ayse Coskun (her last name is pronounced “Josh-Kun”) that covered heterogeneous computer architectures, including things like server design incorporating different types of processors and single-die CPUs with multiple architectures on one chip. The Beaglebone Black is a much more exotic CPU than most Continue Reading
