Not too long ago, a DIY video, was going around showing how to make an amusing illusion of a hologram using your cellphone, a specialized video, and, some reflective material. In the case of the video they used old plastic cd cases (without scratches). Thankfully, i have access to a family member who has cut glass for over 30 years. So i…

I recently purchased 2x Adafruit FONA 3G - Cellular Breakout boards. While Adafruit has had the 2g version out for awhile now. I live in a forest, in the mountains. Pretty much a death sentence terrain wise for cellular, or, wifi signals. The exception seems to be 3g. With the cellular booster i have setup, i tend to get a pretty stable 3…

In 2013, i purchased an Orion DELTA 3d Printer. I justified the printer to myself because my materials construction skills are non-existent. I'm writing about it now.

Some of them where clean…

You can read part one here Awkun the Prototype (Part 1) Excited from a quick and fulfilling success with the first version of Awkun. I decided it was time to move on to upgrades. After all, despite being functional. The first version was mostly just a kit with custom code. I was also familiar enough with Arduino, Voltage, Soldering, an…

I’m often asked as a software engineer & penetration tester. What i use to protect myself online from malicious websites. While my typical response is to use common sense. Which will always be the most useful tool. This blog gives me the opportunity to not only recommend extensions by name but direct URL. It's also a link to refer to…

Awkun, interesting enough, started my foray into Robotics from Software Engineering & Penetration Testing. Basically, like most I've met. I was looking for a “fun” project to start working with various Arduino boards in my spare time between contracts. Drone The thought of flying drones in all there various forms (Quad-copter, Push Yo…
