I started designing a VTOL tailsitter, a small electric aircraft which takes off and lands vertically like a drone, but can transition to fly like a plane. More info is in the project's README, and it was inspired by MIT's tailsitter. If you are interested in this project at all, feel free to DM me! Some sessions may have been slow because it was my first time using solidworks. Repository link: github.com/morotonai/tailsitter File commit link: github.com/morotonai/tailsitter/commit/b54686551c39ffe8a72916e6920b4c90fd664c26

I've made an API client for the Air France in-flight connectivity API! I made it because I wanted to code something offline while on a flight, and when I connected to the plane WiFi and inspected their captive portal, I thought the API looked pretty cool and provided a lot of information. So I made this API client. You can use it to fetch information about your current flight, connecting flights, flight trajectory, internet coverage, services health, connectivity status, and more. Although obviously it only works while you're in an Air France flight and connected to their AirFranceCONNECT WiFi network. Source code at github.com/lafkpages/air-france-api

github.com/akulsaju/Hackaccino 3D Website with Three.js and A-Frame Overview This project demonstrates how to create an engaging 3D web experience using both Three.js and A-Frame. It features interactive 3D elements rendered with A-Frame and a rotating 3D cube created with Three.js, all on a single webpage. Features • A-Frame Scene: ◦ Interactive 3D box, sphere, and plane. ◦ Basic lighting and camera setup. ◦ Event-based interactions to change the color of the box on mouse hover. • Three.js Scene: ◦ Rotating 3D cube. ◦ Basic scene setup with WebGLRenderer and PerspectiveCamera. ◦ Continuous rotation due to the animation loop. Technologies Used • Three.js: A JavaScript library for creating 3D graphics using WebGL. • A-Frame: A web framework for building virtual reality (VR) experiences with HTML-like syntax.

I picked up a cheap foam glider and thought to myself if it can be made to be remote controlled. So I took apart a toy drone I had laying around and repurposed its electronics for the glider. It flies well on a full battery, the video is when the battery is nearly dead so it doesn't have much power/control authority.

Today I can finally say that my function plotter is done (almost). I added support for all 3 and 2 variable equations! Still the performance is really bad and there are some small known bugs. I will continue working on them, but I'm not sure if I will be able to fix the performance issues... Also, I need to fix the way that you move around, as being level with the xz plane makes almost impossible seeing the plots of functions that lie on that plane. Anyway, here is the live website: plotter.konstantinos.me And here is the source code: github.com/konstantinosfragkoulis/FunctionPlotter P.S. I also added my plotter on my portfolio. (konstantinos.me)

plane crash

#arcade Finished the first complete version of my Plane Project Management Slack integration bot. Currently, the main feature is notifying users when issues are completed. Plane doesn't have very good filtering for notifications, which is why I made this bot. I plan on adding more features, and hopefully this will be useful for people trying to do similar things. This was my first time using docker, managing API keys, and using AWS so let me know of any improvements I can make! github.com/jayman-cooks/Better-slack-bot

I finished my depth-of-field render! This is 100 samples -- much more than I've successfully done before (although it took 38 minutes...) The focus plane was unfortunately outside of the range of the spheres, but it still looks interesting despite being blurry!

almost done wiering the rc plane

my flight stick now hosts 2 functioning axis, a more compact size, and reinforced cams. onto implementing real springs

design progress: fixed most of the issues, reinforced the spring mount, and made a wheel using my wheel assembly jig. I'm gonna try making a wheel with a bigger contact surface so that the plane so that the plane is more controllable, and I may add a reinforcement bar to the gear leg, as well as tighten it's tolerances on the spring mount.

starting my streak again... today I worked on new landing gear for my rc plane. my last one had issues with snapping and requiring the entire piece to be replaced. this design uses replaceable components, and also features suspension by way of mechanical pencil spring. I still need to design a new method of attaching the wheel, likely with a custom tension screw collar.

prototype for my macropad, will finish cad and print tomorrow. will also try and work on my reciever to sim program so that I can use my rc plane radio with PhoenixRC to practice flying. if it's nice out, I'll clean the garage. I'll soon print components for the PC case, and then once I've finished printing components for me and @jeijii-U04GRS3T9J8's macropads I'll get back to printing mpcnc components.

Theoretically, in case the server goes down for any reason, it should spin up again promptly! Hopefully that won't happen too often, though, as each instance of Minecraft leverages 2 ARM cores

& 2 gigabytes of DDR4 Samsung RAM powering a high-performance optimized fork (please keep in mind that because we're running off microSD cards, there most likely be greater than typical lag/delays). ------------------------------- Minecraft Server Address: Libre.hackclub.com:25565 -------------------------------

posts! --- Additionally, I invite you to check out SkyScanner, another project in this year's Winter of Making Winter Hardware Wonderland event, which is a DIY aircraft radar station that recieves and records ADS-B signals from nearby flying aircraft in real-time! In a collaboration, SkyScanner is now publicly exposed via a Libre Web Services tunnel (skyscanner.libre.hackclub.com), which will remain a publicly-accessible dashboard for the next 24 hours, so check it out while it's airborne! --- Libre Web Services on Hack Club Scrapbook | Libre.hackclub.com ---
