Andy's Ham Radio Linux
large area networks for sensor data: Radio/Large Area Networks
Ham radio go-bag
Backup power systems
Batteries for electronics
Basic communications gear
Connect with local ARES/RACES radio groups
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
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
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.
