Back Home and an Auto Fish Feeder

 I am back home in Michigan this week. I had my last final on Friday the 25th and now I am visiting family and friends before I return to Cambridge to help write software at an internship at Shell Techworks.

I am looking forward to learning a lot this summer. Because I do not have any classes to take, I can focus all my learning on being better at embedded systems engineering.


I will likely increase my linux chops and have some decent experience in maintaining an IoT system. We'll see how it goes.

I will be adding an entry in the projects page in not too soon for my fish feeder. I did not want to ask anyone to help me feed my fish while I am in Michigan, so I devised this device to feed my goldfish while I am away. We'll see if it was a success after I get back...
