"A test under controlled conditions, demonstrate a known truth, examine a hypothesis, or determine the efficacy of something previously untried."
When I experiment and test stuff it might end up here, things like failed projects or tests for a project than never will become reality.
For a project I’m working on I wanted to test to oxidize copper to get it to look old and used so I read up on the internet and got some ideas. So I got hold of the chemicals I wanted to test with. Some texts indicated that you could apply Ammonia get the oxidizing […]
After I received my new PCBs I wanted to get a feel for them and start using them as fast as possible. So I grabbed a 22mm thick sheet of MDF from the stack and started cutting in to it. For the tray to have a bit more strength I soaked it was watered down […]
After trying hand-wiring i decided that I wanted to try to make a custom PCB. This would be the first that was a bit more advanced, with a MCU and USB. I also wanted a PCB for the vintage SMK switches I just bought from Ebay. I used EasyEDA to design it since i would […]
During the first months of the Pandemic I bought a small tabletop CNC machine from Switzerland (read: China). It has a working area of 60x40cm and work very well for wood and other softer materials. I’ve added some things to it, a vacuum-shoe for example. I’ve used it to make several prototypes of keyboard cases […]
A small experiment with distorting jpeg-images with Javascript in the browser. You can test it here: https://louie.se/dumpster/misc/jpeg-distort/And find the code here: https://github.com/the-louie/jpeg-distort Mostly simple pixel manipulation, like scrolling and skewing, but also a function to introduce random byte-errors in the compressed jpeg-data itself to get some unpredictable but nice effects.
During the summers of 2013-2014 i played around with a raspberry pi and a 1-wire sensor placed near the beach Rocksjön in central Jönköping. Thanks to the kind people at Hasse på Sjökanten which is a Hotel and Resturant just by the beach I got to use their Wifi and power for the Raspberry Pi. […]
After the success with Illusions we started thinking of a new project, we wanted something more like a short film with a script and characters. It took several lunches before we came to the conclusion that we needed small animals that were easy to control, and didn’t run away as soon as we started to […]
I was curious about statistics and network performance at DreamHack and wanted to get statistics for all of the user ports on the local network. There was no way a standard statefull program would be able to get the statistics for the hundreds of switches and thousands of ports on the network. So I created […]
While I lived in an apartment and was stuck with getting internet via some one DOCSIS5 connection over damp cottonthread I grew more and more irritated that I didn’t get the bandwidth i payed for. But, DATA > DOGMA, so created an experiment to collaborate my feelings. I started to ping the first router outside […]
After a discussion with a friend about how accurate yr.no was, compared to smhi.se, i set out to test it. DATA > DOGMA! I wrote a small perl-script that scraped the temperature predictions from yr.no and every hour and saved all the values. To have something to compare to I recorded the temperature outside my […]
