PhotonPeek – Photon Scanning Microscope
Arduino-controlled scanning microscope that generates 2D and 3D
intensity maps. A 650nm laser rasters over a sample while a
photodiode captures reflected intensity at each coordinate. A
Python GUI handles acquisition, FFT sharpening, deconvolution,
and optional neural upscaling.
- Laser raster scanning methodology
- Python-based GUI for real-time visualization
- Export to CSV, PNG, and OBJ
Software
C++ / OpenGL
VSEPR
3D Molecular Visualization Engine
A 3D molecule viewer built with C++ and OpenGL. Enter a formula
or build atom by atom — it calculates VSEPR geometry, bond
orders, formal charges, and dipole moments on the fly without any
external physics library.
- Real-time force-based physics
- Supports 118 elements
- Auto-Resonance and VSEPR calculation

FRC Auto-Scouter
A Python-based FRC strategy engine. Leverages The Blue Alliance API
and Statbotics to generate predictive rankings, compatibility "Fit
Scores", and Monte Carlo match simulations. (updated for 2026)
- Team Fit Score Algorithm
- Match Prediction & Simulation
- Easy to use interface

AI
Rachel Vision
Uses an ESP-32 S3 Dev module to process microphone information to send back to a server for AI processing.
If the AI determines it needs addtitional context, it will take a snapshot from the ESP-32 AI Thinker
camera, then speak the output through a speaker.
- Real-time AI processing
- Image recognition and analysis
- Seamless integration with ESP-32 hardware
