Down for Hurricane

Completed build of 3D tank
Finished the build of the 3D tank. It took longer than I thought but here it is. The main differences between this tank and a previously PS3 controlled tank are: Its body was fashioned from CAD designed 3D parts giving it a more completed look, the headlights do not require their own circuit board (the […]

Completed the 3D print of the PiVE. It’s a four cell build designed to hold a Pi3 in each cell and provide adequate cooling in support of distributed computing.

Centos 6 was the easiest from a driver installation but the downside was that Centos does not supply BOINC in their distribution. BOINC from the BOINC website would […]
ICU (do you see me?) completed
