Minecraft mods
Unfortunately due to time constraints, a lot of these haven't been updated in a while. I am planning on coming back to modding.Hydraulicraft
My first minecraft mod, got me into Java and Minecraft Modding. Originally coded in just 96 hours for a contest called Modjam.
This project won me second place in the contest that awarded me a so-called " Mod-Spotlight" by a well-known Minecraft Youtuber
Unfortunately due to the size of the mod and constant changes in Forge, I haven't found the energy to update it.
Server Info Provider
I wanted to be able to get more data out of my minecraft world and show it on a webpage. I made this mod to be easily expandable in the data it provides.
For a while CreeperHost was using it on their backend to get certain server variables out of their hosted servers.
I do want to pickup this mod again and add a restfull api, maybe with OpenAPI.

Publications in Elektor
Elektor is a dutch electronics hobby magazine i used to work for. Unfortunately these publications are only available in dutch and behind a login. I am in the progress of checking if can host the articles here myself.Elektor Home Control
Before there was Home Assistant or any other domotica system, a colleague and I had thought of a way to create a domotica system using just TCP and UDP.
USB Audio amplifier
While working for Elektor, I was annoyed that my laptop couldn't go loud enough for my music taste. So I developed a small audio amplifier that was powered through USB.
RGB LED Strip controller
My folks wanted an RGB led strip in their kitchen. It didn't have to be fancy, and wifi-enabled LEDstrips weren't a thing yet. So this just cycles through all the possible colour combinations.
"Gemengde resultaten"
This project was done with another student during my internship at Elektor. Because we were both working on audio in our spare time, we chose to build an audio mixer. This one had the added benefit of being controlled from a computer.
In the end the mixer had a control panel with an LCD display and several presets with sound levels. Due to time constraints we were only able to finish two of the 4 planned channels.
