News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

3D printing does help a lot, you can probably scour the internet especially around printables and all but my biased opinion would be to get your hands dirty with wood as much as possible. You get to learn a lot!
Well well well,

So we have added a red dot finder to which we have adjusted our mirrors, identifying objects in the night sky is now wayyyy easier. The next thing in the list would be to get solar filters and observe sun.

Definitely agreed. So we realised this later, we were initially of the opinion to operate it from our lab but later did we get the idea to have bag straps to atleast make it a little bit more portable. Right now, we have been able to carry the entire setup individually, definitely a cumbersome task but people around us have been helpful. But as you rightly said to buy a scope as big as you can carry by yourself, this is something we would work on it in the near future.

Show HN: Curiosity – DIY 6" Newtonian Reflector Telescope

https://curiosity-telescope.vercel.app/

A DIY Newtonian reflector telescope with dobsonian mount. A fun to do hobby project taking us closer to the moon and beyond. A lot of plans ahead on how to make it much better and portable but this was the first time me and my friend implemented or rather built a telescope.Have a look at what all we have captured.

Loved it. Great job. Looking forward to new updates.

Ask HN: What is something that needs to be done if you were of my age(22)?

Given that the HN community is so huge and diverse, which is one of the best parts of it, you get to know about a range of perspectives on a spectrum.My age is 22, and I am learning, discovering, writing, reading, listening, and observing. You, my friend, on the other hand, might be reaching close to the end of your age and ability spectrum. You can't do everything in this lifetime, so I ask,...

Beautiful work done! Hopped on to the platform and looking forward to share my "Good or not so good" ideas given that the right person might find them helpful. Namaste from India; I would share it with my friends to jump here.

Looking forward to some amazing updates.

Happy New Year 2024 to you and your family and to everyone who's reading this.

I bet his Walrus technique would do the trick but you never know for sure.

People are having fun!

Ask HN: What is the one advice you would have told your “21 yr old” self?

I am a 21 year old adult (I think so), I feel this is also the right platform to ask fellow developers who have scoured the internet and know the in and out working of things that are actually making difference in our society.I wish to know from you about your advice if you could ever speak to your "21 year old" self.

You are definitely right! Thanks for pointing it out.

Show HN: I was being Drowsy when I drove my Car – Twilio and OpenCV

https://github.com/Curovearth/Are-you-Drowsy

"40% of the on road accidents occur due to Sleep depravity"Well, this is just crazy. So, I wrote a code helping drivers to not fall asleep as well as informing their 'emergency' contacts about how many times their loved person has fallen asleep or was about to fall asleep while driving.The project has a room for lots of improvements. Your contributions are welcomed.

Show HN: Going Contactless with EMG Sensor and Arduino

https://github.com/Curovearth/Contactless-with-EMG

The armband consists of an EMG sensor, wireless signal transmitter and power source. It will be worn by the user on his arm where we obtain the signals generated by the biceps/triceps. We set a threshold value for the signal. Once the arm proceeds to perform a certain action that will cause the electric signals generated by the muscles to exceed the threshold limit. This will in turn cause the...

Show HN: Origami Inspired Wheel Structure – Actuation Mechanism

https://github.com/BioInsperobotics/BIPR

Origami is an ancient paper folding technique that makes it simple to build and actuate devices ranging from small, scalable, and inexpensive robots to deployable engineering applications. The project describes the creation of a bistable origami-based changeable wheel transformation made by folding sheets of paper coated with various materials. The Waterbomb structure or Magic Air Ball pattern...

Re:Show HN: Are You Drowsy? Twilio and OpenCV on Sunday February 05, 2023 @01:40AM (#34662565)
This project is a drowsiness detection system. It uses a camera to monitor the EAR (eye aspect ratio) of the driver. After it reaches a certain value, an alarm is played to wake the driver and make him focus on the road. If you are travelling in a group, this could be a good time switching drivers.
