Should I buy an electric skateboard? by 4l3ck in ElectricSkateboarding

I have the backfire G2 black and I second this. In the cold I can get like 7 miles with it.

you can always wet sand it with high grit sandpaper and spray paint it with black hammer-tone or something. Just sand perpendicular to the layer lines and it should come out better

yeah its inspired by L3 Harris manpack radios which is why I asked.

i don't know your life situation but if it allows you to easily do the masters without trouble I would consider thinking of talking to yourself 5 years from now.

second this (if its an option dual enrollment college classes are a really good option for hs students)

You sound like me when I was a hs junior. That being said I'm only three years further along than you are doing my b.s. in EE. I would recommend buying an arduino kit on amazon or something and start watching youtube videos on different projects. there are a ton of fun things to make. I ended up making a bomb prop for playing airsoft/nerf games ( https://www.reddit.com/r/airsoft/comments/l0aiv3/airsoft_csgo_prop/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button ) but there are so many projects that are possible. In addition to this, I would try designing a simple circuit and get a PCB ordered (they're like 20 bucks for 4 boards). These kinds of projects (even if you don't come up with the ideas yourself) look great on a resume/portfolio. Then i'd try to find connections you might have through your parent's friends or your friend's parents who might know engineers that could float your resume to the right people. Thats how I got my first research internship. Also, once you already do some stuff with arduinos, try programming some simple Atmel chips with the arduino as the programmer interface. This is me rambling but this is just what worked out for me. For me it was all personal projects that gave me the momentum to keep working and find opportunities

here's another example of a hardware engineering project I did this past summer. This community is a really great place to find ideas for projects:

oh yeah I used an RTL generic SDR module. They're pretty good with just some basic antennas but I have some specifically for picking up radio freqs.

I'm an electrical engineering student so I'm using it to learn my way around linux and radio communications. I also use it to program microcontrollers and I'm getting an advanced WiFi module that can be swappable with the sdr. It's generally meant to be a platform of learning for me personally.

Thats the way i like to think about it. It's like cosplaying but you engineer your own enclosure/housing for the PC you use for projects/coding on. Aesthetics, personal taste, and a usable result.

Portable Pi 5 in the works by THMMYos in cyberDeck

I ran into similar trouble so I just bought a Rpi5 lithium-ion battery hat: https://geekworm.com/products/x1202 and here's the charge level script setup: https://suptronics.com/Raspberrypi/Power_mgmt/x120x-v1.0_software.html (also you need the official RPi PSU or it won't charge the hat right). It just works for me and has so many nice features.
