Long story short, I couldn't figure out the circuit diagram for it because there was a black epoxy covering what I suspect to be some sort of transistor (a component I had not been taught about before).
I also found a cheap light that would turn on if it detected motion. I only took it apart once and quickly scanned its components. If I recall correctly, the circuit used some sort of photo resistor to detect motion.
Apart from these small electronics, did not really do too much. Now, I'm almost done the first semester of my Junior year and have a great deal of projects I want to do, or at the very least attempt.
A tentative list of such projects in no particular order:
- Albert's Gift (fix 3D printed enclosure)
- Arcade Box (Redo laser cut wooden enclosure into something that works)
- Makeshift Raspberry Pi (I ordered a laptop screen and various parts to make a cardboard laptop out of and hopefully I can laser cut/3D print a good enclosure)
- Amazon Echo Stuff / IoT
- The various Adaboxes to do
Hopefully I can knock at least 3 of these before the school year ends next May. I got big dreams, but only by actually doing something can they come to fruition. Let's also hope I stick to this work ethic.
