Thermal Camera

 I love how after a big meal. The hotspot becomes my stomach.

Thermal Camera

 Mmmm cheapo thermal camera. Time to box it up and go Predator hunting.

WX Sat Photo

 Probably the best picture I am going to get of Dorian. I really need to refine my setup.

WX Sat Photo SCORE

 Score! I finally got a picture of Dorian.

WX Sat Photos

 Last daylight pass today. Hopefully I can get a pic with Dorian in it.

Blah, too far north

Not sure who he was but wow this guy in NC got a good picture

ISS Photos

 Pictures received from the ISS they are a little grainy because it was only about 5° over the eastern horizon.

Geiger Goodness and Dust?

 My continuing effort to plot out my environment using sensor data.

This is roughly a 24 hour plot of radiation levels in my work area. CPM stands for “click per minute” from the Geiger counter. I am not totally sure what happened around 8:30pm. Gamma ray burst?

This is a 24 hour plot of the dust concentrations (particles per 0.01 cubic feet) in my work space. I have to admit that I was skeptical that it was working but upon analysis, I see that the peaks coincide with the times I was in the work area stirring up dust. The large peak at the end of the plot is me clapping and rubbing my hands near the sensor.

Geiger Goodness

 After many tries I was able to get roughly a twenty one hour plot of the amount of radiation in my unfinished back room. Nothing of Chernobyl proportions going on in there but I have proved that I can now have an ongoing monitor running.

Geiger Goodness

 Finally got the Geiger counter interface spitting out numbers to an SD card. Time to let it run for 24 hours undisturbed in the back room.

Geiger Goodness

 Been watching that new HBO show Chernobyl and decided I needed a new toy.

ISS Photo

 Received image from ISS and was even able to watch it cross a clear sky outside.

Laser Controller

 A small laser controller I build using an Arduino Uno and a 5.5W 450nm laser.
