A One-Day Project
#

While thinking of interesting ways to pass our time over the short winter break, my friend and I decided to tackle a project we could finish within 24 hours - a timeframe reminiscient of hackathons. We learned tons about web automation, web scraping, network socket, and UART while brushing up on old skills like coding in Python, coding in C/C++, simple circuit design, and applications of general engineering principles.

This device employs negative reinforcement principles to aid in improving your typing speed. A Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) device, delievers a jolt to users who type at a less-than-desired speed.

  • Wrote code for web scraping, automation, server/client sockets, and UART
  • Basic circuitry
