Projects

• github.com/mtraver/environmental-sensor

  It's 21.69°C with AQI 8 (Good) in my apartment (as of 49s ago). Click here for more data!

  This uses Raspberry Pis, temperature sensor modules, and particulate matter sensors to log the temperature and air quality in various rooms of my apartment at regular intervals. It employs Google Cloud IoT Core for device management and communication, and Google Cloud Run for the service that handles data ingestion and display.

• github.com/mtraver/rpi-ir-remote

  This uses a Raspberry Pi, an LED driver circuit, the Linux IR Remote Control library, Google Home, and IFTTT to control an audio amplifier by voice. Its documentation has proven useful to others trying to configure LIRC > 0.9.0 on a Raspberry Pi.

Florilegium (flori what?)

Below are two randomly chosen items from my personal florilegium, placed together.

Your task: Read these excerpts individually, together, and in different orders, keeping your mind open to new meaning that emerges as you do so. Refresh the page for a new selection.

1. Listening is hard, as my friend once said, because you run the risk of having to change the way you see the world.
2. double down with paradigms
