Tutorials

• WAD3 File Format - Understanding the WAD3 file specification used for goldsrc engine textures.
• 3D Starfield - An introduction to perspective projection (javascript/canvas).
• 25LC256 EEPROM - Creating an Arduino library for the 25LC256 EEPROM chip.

Projects

• AquaPilot - An Arduino library to handle the navigational computations for a marine vehicle. The user feeds it with a series of waypoints for which the vehicle is to travel. Then the AquaPilot is constantly fed with updates from a GPS and compass module. The AquaPilot performs the calculations and gives the PWM values to keep the vehicle on course. The PWM values are presented in two modes:
  • Rudder Mode: The AquaPilot provides the PWM values to adjust both the servo rudder and the motor speed.
  • Dual-Motor Mode: The AquaPilot provides the PWM values to balance both motor speeds to orient the vehicle in the proper direction.
• x86 Bootloader - A simple bootloader for legacy BIOS systems.
• Dorothy - Hurricane measurement device (Arduino).
• Arduino Autopilot Boat - An RC boat retrofit with a homemade autopilot system.

Games

• Half-Life Maps - Custom maps made by me and friends.
