Unveiling Causes and Crafting Solutions for Youth Gun Violence
Hey! This is an update on my mini research study: What factors drive youth involvement in gun violence, and how can evidence-based strategies prevent and address this issue? For this study, R Studio and Mathematica will be the main computational tools used. The programming language R will allow me to conduct multivariate analysis and regression […]
First Stages of Success
Over the past couple of months, it’s been pretty chaotic with school, robotics, tennis, and just life. I found some time to work on the project with my dad, who is really good at networking. After figuring out how to install TensorFlow on the Raspberry Pi, we ran a gunshot-detection model I found online. Hooked […]
Robotics Recently
This is my first robotics post, so it’s gonna cover a lot! I’m the programming lead on my school’s FIRST Robotics Competition team, the TerrorBytes. Although I started off doing fabrication, I gradually moved to the software side of things, from coding on our team’s website in HTML to actual robot code in Java. This […]
The Long-Awaited Update…
First of all, what have I been up to? I’ve been spending my time at robotics, by making the experience for new students on programming joining the team better, as well as working on and applying my leadership skills in other extracurriculars. The New Plan Ok, so… things have switched up a bit. I’m now […]
I2S Success :)
Woohoo! I got the sensor up and running, and it took a whole lot of troubleshooting. A Mac is never the right way to go for Arduino, so I ended up switching to Windows and the serial plotter finally displayed current incoming sensor values Although I still have some soldering to do, I’m glad the […]
Almost-Perfect Prototype
With a fresh start to this project after a refreshing weekend beach trip… I made some more progress! My sensor and microcontroller finally arrived (check previous posts for details), and I played around with orientation and wiring on a breadboard to see how to get the sensor values up and running on my serial monitor. […]
The Birth of the Design
I spent some time today researching each part I wanted to use, and here were my final choices for a ESP32 microcontroller and an microphone! Next, I’ll probably get to figuring out how this microphone works and learning how to use TensorFlow. I’m excited to try out machine learning for the first time!
