I have made a custom Unity shader for rendering grating patterns to GameObjects or the whole screen. The pattern it generates is commonly used by neuroscientist as a visual stimulus since it activates direction and orientation selective cells in the visual cortex. Check it out on GitHub.
The weather finally got better so we went to the local model airport to test out the model airplane I built. It did fly, but I have to admit, not very well. Fortunately we bumped into a local builder/pilot and he gave some valuable feedback and lent us some parts for testing. Turns out the whole plane is a bit underpowered. We will need a bigger motor, a beefier BLDC driver/ESC and probably a 4 cell LiPo instead of the 3 cell one. This would shift the CG a bit forward, but the plane was a bit tail heavy to begin with.
Today I looked into JavaScript for the first time. To test the waters I used the p5.js library and made this.
The website is finished! I’m sure I’ll be making some tweaks here and there but the groundwork is done and seems to work well.
I have finished building my first modell airplane today. Here’s some quick footage of its testing.
Its maiden flight has been postponed due to bad weather.
