I’m so happy with how this turned out. It’s not exactly perfect, but it’s definitely a good prototype in the direction I want to go. I’ll show this to my friends soon!

Work
Fine-tuned further
Added a couple more gestures– thumbs up for scroll up nd thumbs down for scroll down!

This has been a rlly long journey, but I’m happy to say– all the wiring is done now! Voltage is stable! nRF modules work! Just my batteries aren’t charged ahhhh…welp anyways– thanks for hanging around!

FINALLY GOT THE SCREEN TO WORK!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! I’M SO SO HAPPY RN!!! LESGOOO I LOVE MYSELF!!!

anyways– fixed the screen wiring, the 2-cell logic works, nd voltage is stable now.

Corrected power rail with 2 cell logic. Removed the old charging module, and fixed wiring.

I realised one cell isn’t working out…after it was almost done…ahhh…12 hours left in flavortown– I rlly need to lock in. I’m going to be switching to a 2-cell battery system. Also, I’m going to be removing the charging since I don’t have the parts for charging 2 cells, and no time to go get them. If you dare to dream, you must be prepared to sacrifice./channel Greetings yet again fellow space nerds– It’s the last day to submit to the second cycle!! Get shipping if you want cool stuff like a telescope (https://flavortown.hackclub.com/shop/order?shop_item_id=251) or official NASA Patches

A whole ton more wiring. I realised I’ve made so many weird errors I can’t even locate…The voltage in the power rail is 2.3v instead of 3,3v…its 2:23 am nd I’m so sleepy nd sad…ahhhhh

Completed most of the wiring, except the power-related parts! I’m so dam tired ahhhh…also burnt my hand– again.

Done wiring the esp32 with the nRF modules!

Did some more wiring! A buncha jumper wires laying around my room now…

Started the wiring! Also, shifted to an ESP32 Wroom!

Fit the screen nd buttons as per planned layout, as well as ws2812 led module. Fixed some wiring as well.

Converted the logic to 3.3v from 3.7v! Also, now it can charge itself safely via a protected tp4056 module! Also changed some wires and resoldered some components since they were messy.

Fixed the nRF Modules, the cell holder, the charging module, nd soldered everything together!

Fixed the power rail, added a switch

The original board started having issues– Some wires broke, the power rail was inconsistent, and a short range. I tried rlly hard to fix it, but it just didn’t work. Thus, I’m starting over on a new board– this time with learnings from the first one. Planned and Soldered the power rail, and some other mini things.

Finished the home page, the learn-more page, blog page, conf pages, etc.

Story
I had to take a little break from this due to exams, hackathons, and some other personal stuff.
Resumed work today!!! Super excited!!!

Work
Built this little GUI for the program! Also, improved functionality by better calibrating the mouse speed and sensitivity!

Story
I’m starting to see this project take shape (YAYYYY). It’s becoming something I can interact with rather than just an idea…There’s a long way to go before it becomes what I imagine, but even these small steps make me happy :)

Work
Made hand tracking logic, and smoothened it a bit
Decided on some gestures I want to add
Figured out how to go about programming those specific gestures (how to map them correctly)
Coded a simple thumbs up gesture– tho it’s very inconsistent as of now

All my devlogs will be divided into 2 parts– Story, and Work.

Story
I committed to this project. I love iron man, and ever since I was a kid, I’ve always thought that the way he controlled everything with holograms and moving his hand around in the air was SO COOL…I believe I am now at a stage that I can finally work on this project, and bring it to life.

Work
Tried different python libraries,
Researched what all I will need,
Worked on some framework code

I had to code for HOURSSSS and got lost in the process. After that I frickin assembled and soldered this which burnt my hand. But it was all worth it seeing my little brother not being able to play steal a brainrot BUAHAHAHA. The way he was in despair coz his net didn’t connect and his earbuds didn’t work. I love this project. Def worth giving it a try yourself

v1 is complete. I’m fully satisfied with how the games came out. The UI interface is lovely too. Y’all will love this

Added the worst auth system ever. I dare you to register successfully :)

There are now 3 types of liquids with different viscosities. Also, there is an option to adjust gravity. You can also add obstacles to see how they interact with fluids. There are 3 types of obstacles- stone, tree, and grass/leaves.

I have improved on the auth flow and added better features when registering. Email verification is added
