Made a "ring fit" to play along

 He wanted to do "fitness" with us while we played ring fit, so I cut the top of a home depot bucket lid and smoothed the inside so he could "do what we do"

Chainsaw game

Hes been in love with chainsaws lately for some reason, so I decided to make a physics based chainsaw game. It uses procedural mesh's so you can cut the logs any way you like and they fall based on physics.

Firetruck mod

Not quite done yet, but a (mostly done) quick status of my fire truck project.

Finished project:

Inspired by a project my dad made for me as a kid.



Features: 6 buttons that play different sounds from a usb powered speaker

8 leds in the top that go in a "circular" pattern

5 leds in the ceiling

7 leds on the dashboard

real ignition key that actually turns it on (plays engine start-up noise when its turned on)



Todo: fix dashboard leds

clean up wires

add door to the back for "fixing" access

add charging usb port into the gas tank port

fix issue where "too loud" sounds cause a voltage drop and reboot the esp

PVC fort

 Cut a bunch of pvc pipes to the same length, and got a bunch of different joints so we could make forts/jungle gyms.

Yoshi Game

I ripped the assets from the most recent yoshi's crafted world game and made a game for my kid. The controls are left/right jump, and if you tap yoshi it spawns a random simple object he recognized above yoshis head.

Kitchen Project

My wife started a DIY kitchen toy from a salvaged tv stand and I added electronics to it.

Baby video picker

He really likes watching videos on the big tv, so I made a simple web app that sends the youtube videos he picked to the tv (running on a rasbperry pi)

to make it easier to click/harder to scroll, I also added swipe gestures.
