Experimenting with burning ions

A circuit that, once complete, could potentially be used to test a piece of hardware designed to count printed and folded sheets from a printing press at Kodak

A (mostly) working simple version of space invaders built on an Arduino. Given the chance to do this project again, I would have used a Raspberry Pi for the game logic, and the Arduino for the screen controls only, as opposed to programming the whole game onto the Arduino.

A lock made with a micro:bit, made as part of one of the Electronics Kit activities. It works by encoding a given password into binary, where an A input is 1, and a B is 0. For this lock, the code is ABAAB, or 10110. When converted into a decimal number, you’d get 13. Now, whenever a code is inputted, it will convert to binary, then to decimal, and check if it is equal to 13. By the very nature of binary, only one sequence can produce any given value, so only the correct combo can open the lock. Changing the password is as simple as changing a single number in the code. I came up with this idea after learning about how binary is used in permission scope integers for Discord’s API.
