Aditi's Shop (WIP)

a sketch of something i started in september??? and started coloring but never finished?? stay tuned for if i actually finish this lol

[marabarl-and-marlbara]

some loose SDA / urantia sketch; posted on my side-twitter but started writing a chapter-based writing project (like a light novel almost) but uncertain how to go about publishing it / releasing it; not sure if i:d want to clot up my substack with a bunch of individually posted chapters; thought maybe just a small writing discord to post it to, cause i like idea of writing clubs -- i like sharing writing and getting feedback on it, and offering it in kind; urantia was big on my moms-side (mostly her mom, who tried to pass it on; her mom lived with one of the prophet-claimants while they were in florida, apparently)

almost 23-week bump update… didn’t get much bigger this week (after the crazy fast expansion of the last couple weeks) but it’s slowly migrating higher up. the weird/bad body image feelings come and go but on the whole like… it’s fine I’m pregnant… and I don’t need to care if random people in my life notice I’m pregnant or just think I put on 20 lbs. letting goooooo of it letting go.

hmm okay let’s see. this week is going to be a slightly challenging one I think—just some long campus days with events plus the ultrasound I have to travel a longer distance for. I am giving myself permission to take it easy today and just do relaxed project work, I think. here’s what I would like to get done:

review slides for JS and return with feedback

make a decision on CEL workshops

revise SDA description

hmm tbd

Current Projects:

Starbound, a fantasy/slice-of-life magical girl-esque comic starring some OCs that have been on my pages for a while now. I'm hoping to develop them more into a full fledged webcomic! Development and concepts can be found at @starbound-sda-comic (date TBA but hopefully by the time I turn 30 lol)

Dorm Days, a drama/slice of life prequel to the Starbound world that features two of my OCs as they meet and try to survive each other and their respective pasts in a cramped college freshman dorm room. Progress and updates can also be found at the above blog as it's set in the same universe. (currently updating!)

Future Projects:

A shop for my works! I'm still in developing stages of creating and maintaining an art shop so hopefully that comes by very soon

Overall just developing my brand and exploring and pushing the boundaries of my digital art!

Refine your sensor interfacing code based on feedback and testing results to achieve the desired functionality and performance.

Certainly! Below is a simple program to interface a digital sensor with an STM32 microcontroller using the I2C communication protocol. I'll provide an explanation for each line of the code:

#include "stm32f4xx.h"

#define SENSOR_ADDRESS 0x3C // Address of the digital sensor

void I2C_Init(void);

void I2C_Start(void);

void I2C_Stop(void);

void I2C_Write(uint8_t data);

uint8_t I2C_Read(void);

int main(void) {

    uint8_t sensor_data;

    // Initialize I2C communication

    I2C_Init();

    // Start communication with the sensor

    I2C_Start();

    // Send sensor address with write bit

    I2C_Write(SENSOR_ADDRESS << 1);

    // Read data from the sensor

    sensor_data = I2C_Read();

    // Stop communication with the sensor

    I2C_Stop();

    while (1) {

        // Main application logic here

    }

}

void I2C_Init(void) {

    // Enable clock for I2C1 peripheral

    RCC->APB1ENR |= RCC_APB1ENR_I2C1EN;

    // Configure I2C1 pins (PB6 for SCL, PB7 for SDA)

    GPIOB->MODER |= GPIO_MODER_MODER6_1 | GPIO_MODER_MODER7_1; // Alternate function mode

    GPIOB->OTYPER |= GPIO_OTYPER_OT_6 | GPIO_OTYPER_OT_7; // Open-drain output type

    GPIOB->PUPDR |= GPIO_PUPDR_PUPDR6_0 | GPIO_PUPDR_PUPDR7_0; // Pull-up

    // Configure I2C1 peripheral

    I2C1->CR1 &= ~I2C_CR1_PE; // Disable I2C1 peripheral

    I2C1->CR2 = 0; // Clear CR2 register

    I2C1->CR2 |= 42; // Set peripheral clock frequency (42 MHz)

    I2C1->CCR = 210; // Set clock control register (Standard mode with 100 kHz)

    I2C1->TRISE = 43; // Set maximum rise time

    I2C1->CR1 |= I2C_CR1_PE; // Enable I2C1 peripheral

}

void I2C_Start(void) {

    I2C1->CR1 |= I2C_CR1_START; // Generate start condition

Introduction: Making a rocket flight computer might sound like a daunting task at first, but with the right guidance, it can be a fun and challenging project that will help you learn a lot about electronics and programming. A rocket flight computer is essentially a device that uses sensors, microcontrollers, and software to gather and process data during the flight of a rocket. This data can include altitude, velocity, temperature, and other parameters that can help you ensure a safe and successful rocket launch. In this article, we will guide you through the process of making a rocket flight computer from scratch, including the materials you need, the components you need to assemble, and the programming you need to do. We will also include a FAQs section at the end to answer some common questions about rocket flight computers. Materials: To make a rocket flight computer, you will need the following materials: - Microcontroller board: We recommend using an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi for this project, as they are easy to use and have plenty of online support and tutorials. - Sensors: You will need sensors to measure altitude, temperature, and other parameters. For altitude, you can use a barometric pressure sensor, such as the BMP280 or the BME280. For temperature, you can use a thermistor or a digital temperature sensor, such as the DS18B20. - GPS module: A GPS module will allow you to track the location and speed of your rocket during flight. - SD card module: An SD card module will allow you to store data on an SD card during flight, which you can later analyze on your computer. - Power source: You will need a power source for your flight computer. You can use a battery pack, a power bank, or a USB cable connected to your computer. - Breadboard and jumper wires: You will need a breadboard and jumper wires to connect your components together. - Case: You may want to use a case to protect your flight computer during flight. Components: Once you have gathered all the materials, you will need to assemble them into a flight computer. Here are the steps: 1. Connect the sensors: Connect the sensors to the microcontroller board using jumper wires. For the BMP280 or the BME280 sensor, connect VCC to 3.3V, GND to GND, SDA to A4, and SCL to A5. For the DS18B20 temperature sensor, connect VCC to 5V, GND to GND, and the signal pin to a digital pin on your microcontroller board. 2. Connect the GPS module: Connect the GPS module to the microcontroller board using jumper wires. Connect VCC to 3.3V, GND to GND, RX to a digital pin on your microcontroller board, and TX to another digital pin on your microcontroller board. 3. Connect the SD card module: Connect the SD card module to the microcontroller board using jumper wires. Connect VCC to 5V, GND to GND, MISO to pin 12, MOSI to pin 11, CLK to pin 13, and CS to pin 10. 4. Write the code: Once you have connected all the components, you will need to write the code for your flight computer. You can use the libraries provided by the sensors and GPS modules to read data from them, and you can use the SD card library to write data to the SD card. You will also need to create a loop that reads and processes data from the sensors and GPS module and writes it to the SD card. Here is an example code for an Arduino flight computer (note that you may need to adjust the code for your specific components and sensors): #include #include #include #define BMP_SDA A4 #define BMP_SCL A5 #define GPS_RX 10 #define GPS_TX 11 Adafruit_BMP280 bmp; Adafruit_GPS gps(&Serial1); File dataFile; void setup() Serial.begin(9600); while (!Serial); Serial1.begin(9600); bmp.begin(0x76); SD.begin(10); dataFile = SD.open("data.log", FILE_WRITE); gps.sendCommand(PMTK_SET_NMEA_OUTPUT_RMCONLY); gps.sendCommand(PMTK_SET_NMEA_UPDATE_10HZ); gps.sendCommand(PGCMD_ANTENNA); delay(1000); void loop() float altitude = bmp.readAltitude(1013.25); float temperature = bmp.readTemperature(); char* date = gps.date; char* time = gps.time;

float latitude = gps.latitude; char* latDir = gps.lat; float longitude = gps.longitude; char* lonDir = gps.lon; float speed = gps.speed; float angle = gps.angle; float mag = gps.mag; Serial.print(altitude); Serial.print(","); Serial.print(temperature); Serial.print(","); Serial.print(date); Serial.print(","); Serial.print(time); Serial.print(","); Serial.print(latitude, 6); Serial.print(","); Serial.print(latDir); Serial.print(","); Serial.print(longitude, 6); Serial.print(","); Serial.print(lonDir); Serial.print(","); Serial.print(speed); Serial.print(","); Serial.print(angle); Serial.print(","); Serial.println(mag); dataFile.print(altitude); dataFile.print(","); dataFile.print(temperature); dataFile.print(","); dataFile.print(date); dataFile.print(","); dataFile.print(time); dataFile.print(","); dataFile.print(latitude, 6); dataFile.print(","); dataFile.print(latDir); dataFile.print(","); dataFile.print(longitude, 6); dataFile.print(","); dataFile.print(lonDir); dataFile.print(","); dataFile.print(speed); dataFile.print(","); dataFile.print(angle); dataFile.print(","); dataFile.println(mag); dataFile.flush(); delay(100); 5. Test the flight computer: Once you have written the code, you can upload it to your microcontroller board and test the flight computer. You can do this by connecting the flight computer to your computer using a USB cable, and opening the serial monitor to see the data being read from the sensors and GPS module. You should also test the SD card module to make sure it is writing data correctly. FAQs: 1. What can I do with a rocket flight computer? A rocket flight computer can help you gather data during the flight of a rocket, which can be useful for analyzing and optimizing the rocket's performance. It can also help you ensure a safe and successful rocket launch by detecting any anomalies or errors during flight. 2. Can I use a different microcontroller board for the flight computer? Yes, you can use any microcontroller board that has the required sensors and libraries. However, Arduino and Raspberry Pi are popular choices due to their low cost and ease of use. 3. How do I mount the flight computer on my rocket? You can mount the flight computer inside a protective case or container, and attach it to the rocket using tape, glue, or a mounting bracket. Make sure the flight computer is secure and well-protected during flight. Conclusion: Making a rocket flight computer can be a challenging but rewarding project that will help you learn a lot about electronics, programming, and rocketry. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can create a flight computer that will gather and process data during the flight of a rocket, and help you ensure a safe and successful rocket launch. Remember to always prioritize safety during your rocketry experiments, and have fun exploring the exciting world of rocket science!

Specialist Disability Accommodation Melbourne

Specialist disability accommodation Melbourne(SDA) is a way for people with extreme functional impairment and very high support needs to access affordable housing. SDA funding covers the cost of the house or home, but not person-to-person support.

However, there are challenges in securing and maintaining SDA. This article will explore these challenges and suggest some possible solutions.

OC Connections

OC Connections is one of Victoria’s most trusted disability support services. It has been providing rewarding opportunities to enable people to live happy and valued lives since the 1950s. It offers residential accommodation, day programs, recreational activities, and holiday homes. The organisation is dedicated to providing quality, person centred active support for people with intellectual disability and mental health needs.

The NDIS has an annual recurrent budget of $700 million for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). This is designed to help people with complex and profound disabilities find affordable housing. The budget will also provide assistance to those with high levels of support needs, helping them to reduce the cost of person-to-person supports and to live more independent lives.

OC Connections is looking for a Senior Manager of People, Learning and Culture to lead a team in the delivery of high level NDIS client support services and empower participants to live their best lives. The role requires a strong knowledge of compliance and legislation and the ability to implement a best practice approach to workplace culture, learning and engagement.

RUBI Architects

Specialist disability accommodation (SDA) is housing that’s built with the specific needs of people with disabilities in mind. This type of housing can take the form of group homes, boarding houses, or self-contained apartments. It can be provided either through government bodies or private ownership, and it can include a range of adaptations to make it easier for people with disabilities to live in.

RUBI Architects specialise in refined residential, multi-residential and commercial projects, with a focus on bespoke, high-end residential work. Founded in 2017, the studio is led by architects Alex Rubilar and Antonio La Torre, who both share a passion for design, and enjoy the process of turning ideas into reality. Their projects have included a series of new homes, renovations and apartments — often in tight spaces. This SDA project in Carnegie is a perfect example of their approach, as it was designed to meet the NDIS’ high physical support standards while maintaining privacy and security.

Inclusive Housing Australia

With 30 years of project and asset management experience, Mark has a proven track record in the construction and property industry. He has held senior roles at Achieve Australia and the NSW Department of Family and Community Services. He is a current member of the NDIA’s Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) Reference Group.

A new joint venture between a leading disability service provider and a socially focussed investment manager, IHA is focused on investing in best in class SDA portfolios. These will address the undersupply of fit-for-purpose accommodation for NDIS participants with extreme functional impairment and high support needs.

Providing a wide range of contemporary disability housing and supported living options, Minda is dedicated to supporting you to achieve your goals for independence. Our high quality SIL and SDA services are person centred, family inclusive, recovery focused and evidence based. Unlike traditional group homes, they are designed as your home and not as a workplace for paid staff.

National Disability Insurance Scheme

The NDIS is an Australian disability scheme that offers participants funding for reasonable and necessary support services. These include support workers, accommodation and community access. Participants also have the option of choosing where they live. The NDIS supports people who want to move away from institutional arrangements such as group homes and residential aged care. NDIS participants can access Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) to help them achieve their goals.

SDA is a form of housing that’s suitable for people with extreme functional impairment or high support needs. It is usually shared with a small number of other people. You can also choose to live in SDA on your own if that’s the best option for you.

The NDIS’s SDA Operational Guideline aims to stimulate the market by promoting innovative designs and building quality, contemporary and accessible dwellings. It also encourages the use of on-site shared support. In addition, the guideline outlines pricing arrangements for SDA and other NDIS accommodation options.
