During my time in the Robotics Shop 5th and 6th period this week, I made significant headway on the lightbox project. For my lightbox, I will be making a transparent “EXIT” sign that you frequently see in modern office buildings. These signs are very expensive and can be found online for hundreds of dollars. My plan is to make it for much less. The most expensive component to the project would be the acrylic, which can be found for about 10 dollars for an appropriate size.

With my new HAM radio license in the books, I bought the Baofeng UV5R as my first HT. Between its low-cost and various features, I think its been a great radio to start out with. With an upgraded antenna (almost not optional) and a larger battery bank, I’ve found the radio to be a pretty solid unit. Unfortunately, there is no direct way to plug in the radio’s speaker and mic jacks to a computer soundcard to transmit and receive sounds to and from my PC, but with a simple cable modification, this can be done.

I got my HAM Radio License! I am now a registered HAM radio operator as KC1VTJ Hope to hear you on the air, 73

Introduction Between all the various tutorials online, there is no straight way to installing OpenCV on a RPI… Issue’s I have encountered personally include but are not limited to the following: Building from source issues Various rare errors Garbage tutorials So in this simple guide, I have documented my installation of OpenCV on my Raspberry Pi, Model 3 B+ Other models should be quite similar. Requirements For this project, I used a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ running Ubuntu Server 20.

With the annual MATE ROV competition all finished up, Sunk Robotics placed 3rd worldwide in terms of robotics, and 9th overall including the marketing and advertising campaigns. A good run indeed. Our robot performed well, although reliability is our priority for next year’s attempt. A New Competition Although MATE ROV offers its well-known underwater competition, there are other events they host as well. This year, Matty Harris and I undertook a secondary challenge, known as the 2024 Ocean Exploration Video Challenge (OER) where teams must create custom Artificial Intelligence models that can be used to identify underwater species from a provided video.
