Teaching
Teaching preparation:
- Engineering
- Programming
Notes:
- Books
- Basic lecture concepts
- Resources and concepts
- Topic lists
UGR Project:
- Prepare introduction to Linux
- Come prepared for various problems
- USB jump drives, ISOs, toolkit of hacking - get these people set up.
Projects
physical world/sensors/making
Microcontrollers/Arduino/Raspberry Pi/Linux/Networking
3D printing/soldering/makerspace
Defcon
- Preparation
- Badges? Notebooks? Hardware?
ham radio
Ham radio: General
- General license prep
- VHF station
- HF antenna
software
Github (Main page: July 2016/Github)
- data analysis, uncertainty, wifi data
- how to make data analysis simpler? more universal?
- not just preparing for classes, preparing for UGR project
GIS data and mapping
- more data analysis
- more python
Backups (See Category:Bug-Out)
- Update computers - this is taking a little longer than I expected. Sound is a problem on rolling kali apt-get dist-upgrade
- Wiki offline - okay so far. tenuous at best.
- Packages and software offline - see the bug-out pages.
- PHP, necessary extensions/software/configurations
- Backups to iso files
- Backups to thumb drive
More Projects
Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Kit
Supplies - what is necessary to prepare for 1 month
Ham Radio

Electronics
Ham Radio
General Class Ham Radio License
- Defcon - August
Radio-Computer interface
- HackRF hook up to a VHF/UHF antenna
- Receive and decode digital modes using computer
- Transmit digital modes using computer
- HackRF
Andy's Ham Radio Linux
large area networks for sensor data: Radio/Large Area Networks
Arduino
Zigbee project - Zigbee
- Working with Ardunio and computer/Arduino and Raspberry Pi
- Getting the basics of the Zigbee communications protocol figured out
- Currently everything is fine with two mini usb to serial converters, but Arduino-XBee shield is not working
- Still not sure how to work out the specific channels
HackRF
Zigbee + HackRF project
- get two talking together, and then add the HackRF into the mix.
HackRF antennas
- Receive/transmit digital modes via VHF/UHF (packet)
- SSTV/Satellites
Raspberry Pi
Circuits and hardware
- Connecting sensor arrays to the Pi
- Connecting Arduinos to create sensor sub-circuits, enabling more complex sensor placement/analysis/online calculations
- Hook up the GPIO to circuits
- FOCUS ON RETROFITTING EXISTING HARDWARE
Internet of Things
- Massive numbers of distributed sensors
- More complicated than a single node with a single data stream
- Github implementations of more complicated data streams, large number of Raspberry Pis connecting to a central server
South Seattle Ham Radio
Figure out what's going on with Seattle Colleges emergency coordination group
Get some students their ham licenses, get some faculty their ham licenses
Do something with the station on campus - VHF/UHF, use it to experiment with HackRF? Set up a beacon?
Programming
Python
What to do about my Python. Write up some notes for basic Python programming class. Python 3, here we come.
Bots
Apollo Space Junk
- Extend these Apollo bots to include everybody.
- Incorporate some sort of inclusion of photos, sound, something.
- Screencast
Charlesreid1.com Content
Screencast Videos
Screencast topics:
- The Apollo dialogue extractor - and the actual building of an Apollo bot
- Spreadsheets with numerical methods - in the same spirit, other things
- web.geogebra.org, with equations and explanation of the tangent plane equation, 3D Taylor Series, showing how to use Geogebra to plot 3D surfaces.
- Add to YouTube. (Ugh. And wade into the YouTube accounts mess.)
Articles, How-Tos, Instructional Highlights on Main Page
Revamp the main page to showcase some of my skills and my work.
Photography
Figure something permanent and/or self-hosted OUT.
