Milee 2.0 aka the mistress...

Today I get a refurbed neato xv-21 for <$200. It looks brand new, shame too because it's going to get modded =) shortly. This is going to be the base of my next robot project.  For the time being I'm setting up ROS on a Beaglebone Black. I'll make a project page for this soon.

Meet MiLEE aka Robot 1.0

I've gotten in a few of the parts for MiLEE and have done some assembly and primitive fabrication.  Here are MiLEE's baby pics.

Steampunk Gun v 1.0

For my upcoming wedding and other uses I made a steampunk gun.  This is a modified Nerf gun with some basic painting.  I have another in progress and 2 more for the future.  The 2 future ones will have working electronics inside.

Robot 1.0

I'm taking robotics (EGN4060C) this semester so working on a robot for the project. the project page is located here (http://imbinary.blogspot.com/p/robotics-project.html). The project will involve a robot that moves on tank treads and locates cold objects (beer). The brains of the project are a parallax activity board coupled with a pixyCMU for vision.

Raspberry Pi Irrigation Controller


I was finally able to finish my raspberry pi sprinkler controller.  It has been running on my bench for a week and I installed it today. Once it has been running for a week or so I'll add a followup post. The build log is here; Raspberry Pi Irrigation Controller
