Project Ideas
## Ferrofluid music thing Put that ferro fluid in a round bottom flask and put a coil nearby
Laser Cut Projects
- Laser cut things from here
Thermal Camera Projects
- Pair camera with iPad and fuse the 3D model generated by the iPad with thermal input.
- Use Raspberry Pi + screen + camera + thermal camera + (depth sensor?) to fuse thermals and camera input.
- One approach requires learning iOS app development but may be more useful in the long run.
- The other needs more hardware but could be fun for other projects too.
Additional Ideas
- Use DeepL to segment the image input, overlay the thermal image, then do a best-fit to impute segment temperatures.
- Track motion in the camera input and overlay thermal input (copy what the iPad does). Potentially use OpenCV.
- Can the Raspberry Pi GPU be used with compute shaders yet?
Getting Into SMD Manufacturing
- Start with a simple test board — maybe an ESP32 datalogger.
- Get tools.
- Decide how to heat: maybe a DIY hotplate?
DIY Hotplate
- Already have the hotplate.
- Do I have the switches though?
Custom Home Assistant / Smart Speaker
- Use existing Raspberry Pi.
- Add Home Assistant.
- Add air quality sensor.
- Add RGB LEDs for display.
- Add a small screen for extra metrics.
- Make a nice white case with plenty of space.
- Maybe add a microphone and try to find an open source smart speaker:
Other Ideas
- Replace driver board on Ender 3 for quieter operation.
- Hook up PSU control with a transistor.
Build a Linux System from Scratch
Adjustable Bedside Lamp
- Adjustable colour temperature and brightness.
- Use high CRI LEDs and RGB LEDs.
- Power with 20V USB-C supply.
- Add microcontroller and rotary encoder.
