Is a biohacker also working on frabrication, microcontroller and automation projects.

Stuff I made list

This is a video I made of the interior of a dinoflagellate using a Samsung S2 cameraphone and a OMAX microscope from the Dinos in the biolab {{#ev:youtube|LUX4PpBc7nk}}

I made a automatic pipettor with a stepper motor, the linear bearing was done on the 3-in-one lathe {{#ev:youtube|pEgEQ2Acyv8}}


MIG welded candlestick (done at the "One little girl and a can of gasoline" studio over in Clare street)

OD600 handheld unit

This is a project to create a cheap hand held unit to determine the OD600 level of a biological sample. Typically this is used for determining mid-log phase of bacterial growth in molecular biology.

I'd also like to resin cast some calibration blocks, so I can compare between equipment in a standard way;

bio-rpi-plug

This is a project based on the rpi-plug platform (raspberry Pi model B+) to add a CO2, humidity, oxygen, CO, NO sensors to a pi based sensor unit

Algae Illuminator Lamp

Bio luminescent algeo require a "training" cycle of 12 hours of darkness, followed by 12 hours of light. They will then produce the maximum light output when agitated when in their "night time" phase. This is a device to optimally illuminate a flask of dinoflaggelates using an arduino controlled led lamp array.
