About Me
My name is Tabish Chasmawala. I am currently a high school student (Senior Year!) enrolled at Harmony Science Academy - North Austin in Texas. I love programming (My favorite languages being C++, Java, and Python), as well as designing electronics. My specific career that I would like to get into would be Embedded Engineering as you get to mess with the bits and bytes in the hardware while also developing innovative software for what you are working on. My future college will be the University of Texas at Austin - Cockrell School of Engineering. I hope to enroll after my graduation in May 2013.

Hello, I stumbled across a post you had on Stack Overflow inquiring about the application of various control algorithms in Python. I found the link to your site, and was delighted to see you are beginning a project to create an open source temperature controller. I currently am working on a similar project, using 1-wire sensors and a Linux/python based controller with RRD integration. The application I am using it for is to control the fermentation temperature of my home brew beer. =)
ReplyDeleteWhere I am falling short, is my lack of good math skills -- so for me even understanding the algorithms for PID, GPC, etc. is overwhelming. I get the concepts -- I just don't understand the math well enough to turn it into functional code. From your post, it sounds like you may have this part done.
I have a bitbucket project (homebrewtc) -- and I would really like to work together with you in any way possible.
Awesome. Go ahead and email me and we can talk more about your project and I can give you more information about the Open Thermostat project.

I am working on the development of a STEM hardware product and in casting about for a product name came up with "Byte Machine". Since your blog has that as its name I'd like to ask if you would object to this. There seem to be no other products using that name, unlike several others.
The product in question is an eight-bit registered state machine programmable through inserting mini-MELF diodes into a matrix of holes (tweezers are necessary). Its designed for middle-school-age kids (when you apparently started learning the technology) and includes a port for use by online mentors to examine the matrix and set registers.
I would be happy to prevent confusion by including a notice and redirection button on my web pages for this product. For more detail you can Google my name and "SMLD".
It appears that your blog is in a dormant state, which would be a good thing if you are applying yourself in your education. I wish you luck there, and would be happy to answer any questions you might have.
