After finishing the Khan Academy math exercises in ~80 hours, I made a few notes regarding deliberate practice and its place in online learning media. Khan Academy (KA) focuses far more on rout work that Udacity or Coursera, with most of modules requiring one of 1-3 techniques for solving. The adaptive training plan mostly makes [...]
Using Sparkfun’s BMP085 sensor board (SEN-09694), I put together some quick Arduino code to measure temperature-adjusted barometric pressure, store the data on an SD card using Adafruit’s data logger shield (v1.0), and then calculate altitude. This is a pretty simple project; in fact, the most difficult issue was finding a suitable formula for calculating altitude [...]
