In this video I demonstrate two Arduino Nanos communicating with one another via an I2C bus. I use a digital storage oscilloscope to look at the data and clock signals, and then dissect the information present in the signal.

Experimenting for the sake of experimenting is a great thing that I’ve lost touch with. So in this video I took a look at a question that I wasn’t quite sure about: Can I use one part of a bipolar junction transistor as a diode?

In this video I get curious about how the plastic fortune telling fish is able to divine the future, both by testing student’s theories as well as information dredged up from a quick literature review.

In this quick pilot video I use an Arduino paired with an IR sensor to get curious and see if an old remote is still generating a signal. And if it is generating a signal, what does it look like?

My mother works at a dentist office and I hear a lot about the going-ons of the office. So naturally I had heard about Dr. Allen acquiring a set up to manufacture crowns right on site. Yesterday I had stopped by and figured it might be a great opportunity to learn more!

This is a rough transcription of a talk I gave at the 2023 Upper Peninsula Teaching and Learning Conference. I really think that AI in academia is the most important contemporary issue for educators to address, and I chose the topic so I could formulate my own thoughts and opinion on the matter.
Signals & Variables At it’s core – every electrical devices operates on signals – and those signals represent changing (or static) variables, such as heart rate, pressure, number of times a button’s been pressed. Signals can be cut into two classes Analog and Digital. The reality is that all signals are really analog – as […]
