Video Game Controller

A basic game controller for a popular rhythm game: Sound Voltex

Arcade machines are typically very expensive so it's sometimes better to just play at home instead. With this specific game, you could make your own controller and use an Arduino as the main board.

A simple yet functional program running on an Arduino; it only requires an Arduino Leonardo, six buttons, and two rotary encoders. Once it's all wired up, it can emulate a keyboard and mouse, allowing you to play the game.

Home Server

A full home infrastructure stack

To better understand and develop new skills, having a on-site infrastructure can make learning much easier. Having many machines and a large storage space, providing connections between the servers allows for a robust infrastructure.

Utilizing mainly Linux operating systems, configuring and administrating systems utilizing Docker and Ansible allows for quick deployment and configurations.
