Some electronics projects over the years
Embedded Files
Coil Gun
12V 5A 'Coil Gun' driven by an arduino and powered by a lab bench PSU, only worked a few times before I melted all of my UV LEDs lol!
2021
Electronic Mini Golf
It was a huge mistake using cheap MDF side panels as the boarders, they absorbed a lot of the impact from the golf ball and did not give a good crisp bounce.
I never actually took any pictures of the electronics and the golf course combined LOL! oopsies.
2022
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
I made these in either 2011 or 2012 and they kind of worked - they just hurt quite a lot to use.
Balance was difficult but not impossible, at no point did I fall over while using them but due to the inflexibility of the shoes sole I wasn't able to get any speed faster than walking.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha
Immediately prior to making the stupid shoes my friend & I found a (prop) street sign on the ground which I turned into a fully functional skateboard.
I also fastened a block of wood to the back of it in order to not scratch the concrete when I dragged the tail or did ollies.
I ended up ceasing my use do the the dangerously sharp metal edge at the front in case it rolled into someones ankle, that and my dad telling me I'm not allowed to use it..
I had a super slim subwoofer where some part of the driver became an open circuit, It wasn't meant to be repaired so I damaged the circuit disassembling the chassis. I couldn't salvage the speaker but I repaired the board (2 Capacitors replaced) & recycled some leftover materials and 8 inch driver. Only spent money on the carpet ($10 Aliexpress) and the spray adhesive from Bunnings.
The new speaker is too quiet to be useful but it was worth doing for the fun of it!

exploring for future project(s)
USB brightness controller for my 3 monitors using RP2040 Zero with 3 slide pots, serial listener with python to execute ClickMonitorDDC brightness commands
Wifi volume control for an old Yamaha amp with a remote too dinky to aim at the receiver even with new batteries
Built using an ESP32-Z3-Zero, some replacement shoulder buttons for my 360 remotes & a 0.9inch OLED
Xbox 360 wireless remote receiver for windows 10 built from the front of an Xbox 360 + a RP2040 Zero

Fixing my phone after a fall 'broke' its speaker and microphone
Cleaning my workplace once I went full time WFH - I think this counts as a Misc project (I built the desk)
