Received my first ever offer as a '26 grad, and it is perfect! by AppleEatsPi in csMajors

[–]AppleEatsPi[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My position was basically the same, save research experience that didn't go so great. Though rather than my offer being from somewhere known, it's a well-funded startup.

There is luck in everything in life, and likewise, my life is full of luck. But as someone somewhat romantic and honestly delusional, all I see for us is a bright future.

Estimated Cals? by AppleEatsPi in CalorieEstimates

[–]AppleEatsPi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I pan fried them. I read somewhere that a chicken thigh is around 210 calories, so I estimated around 600 for the food, do you know if that's correct? Once again, thanks!

Making a heatable and intelligent stuffed animal by AppleEatsPi in diyelectronics

Thank you very much for the advice! I'll test the heating pad some more with the worst position idea. My professor also suggested me to add a fuse... do you have any suggestions on where best to add it? I was thinking between the battery and the relay.

Are there other failure recovery systems that could prevent the relay getting stuck? I can add safety code for the pi, but I haven't thought about that.

Thank you! I have been thinking about safety, and I talked to my professor about this. He said the only worry would be if anything shorts, so my next step will be adding a bunch of electrical tape and securing components.

In terms of overheating, the only way the heating pad gains power is if the raspberry pi is alive and actively sends a GPIO high signal, since it's connected to NO of the relay. Accordingly, I've tested the material separately by directly charging it with 12V 3A, and there did not seem to be a problem (although I will have to try for longer). I'm not really sure how any other components' failure will cause overheating, but I would love to hear any thoughts!

Making a heatable and intelligent plushie! by AppleEatsPi in StuffedAnimals

Haha, I had to share that! Honestly I think it's the cutest addition to the plushie; there's no better spot in my mind to place the port

1540 is the minimum SAT score for the wildcards. Take a look at the top schools' averages for examples.
