I build things. Small circuits, remote-controlled vehicles, street lights that think for themselves. Two years in, and I'm still surprised by what a microcontroller and a weekend can do.
Four projects, four different lessons. All built by hand, tested the hard way, documented the honest way.
A ground-up RC car — custom receiver logic, motor driver, and a chassis I'm still refining. The goal was to understand every piece, not just glue modules together.
Open projectMy first real RC build. Flysky transmitter into a standard receiver, a basic differential, and some hard-earned lessons about PWM noise. Finished, running, occasionally terrifying at full throttle.
Open projectA small street-lighting system that turns on at dusk and off at dawn — using light sensors, not a fixed timer. Built at model scale, with logic that would scale up to a real installation.
Open projectThe current project. A fixed-wing RC plane running off a Flysky transmitter, with custom stabilization logic I'm still tuning. Maiden flight is close. Stay tuned.
Open projectRead a lot, plan briefly, build small, test honestly. That's about it.
Datasheets, forum threads, the occasional YouTube rabbit hole at 1am. Understanding beats guessing.
Choose the components, sketch how things talk. Keep it short — planning too long kills projects.
Breadboard first. The smallest version that proves the idea, then features one at a time.
Test it where it's meant to run. Break things, fix them, repeat until I'd trust it with my name on it.
