I totally forgot to update the blog.

Last weekend I talked with my friend who is doing bio research about what device they are using for monitoring wildlife sounds. I found that the most commonly used device was AudioMoth, and what could make it better is to a. make it to separate the sound of birds from the background noise of new york city and b. make it transfer data via wifi since it’s currently using a SD card. So, I figure it’s gonna be a nice project idea.

Lab Checkout System With Whatever Found in Lab on Saturaday

So yesterday I was talking with my teammate and he said I could try make a lab checkout system to help tracking who took the hard ware. It’s pretty clear that we need a. a sheet to keep track of who have what now b. some sort of physical lock that at least give people some motivation to use the system.

Anyway so I draw a diagram with relay and 12V solenoid lock and adapter and raspberrypi and bar code scanner, and it takes like 50 dollars probably. And my teammate said, you know what we don’t have budget now, try be creative. I thought that would be a fun challenge for my Saturday, since I finished the homework early.

First post of the blog

The purpose of the blog is to share what I do every week and motivate myself to actually make some progress. Hopefully I’ll remember to continue to write. And hopefully I can write better as I go. Finger crossed.
