Custom ROM & Current Projects

I finally have a custom ROM! My Moto G5S Plus is now running LineageOS 16 - far better than Android Nougat (v7.1.1) which was provided by Motorola. I have been very disappointed by their update speed since they were taken over by Motorola; on the contrary, I love the new navigation layout in Android P!

Recently I have started a few projects as well:

  • AquaPi (aquapi.ml) - an innovative water-saving solution for the smart home, involving Raspberry Pis connected to flow maters at all water points around the home, which send their data to one main RPi - the hub - which in turn broadcasts a localhost website. We also aim to integrate this with the new Google Home app
  •  The FLL (in Black Thunder - blackthunder.ga) - Reading School's FIRST LEGO League team has begun preparation for this year's competition. See our blog (blog.blackthunder.ga) for more info.
  • An RC car with VR capabilities built-in, with a range of around 150m. Stay tuned for a link to our blog and more details.

Keep up-to-date with the linked websites for more information.

I have started learning Java; this should be done within the next month or so.

Please check out my GitHub, @mgrove36, and GitLab, @mgrove36; if you have any ideas for projects I could do, please leave them here.

Recently I haven't been doing much software design, instead focussing on photography, school work and other school activities - including editing a magazine, auditing my school's websites, some video editing, and more. However, I have finally again ventured deep into the world of endless coding, beginning with redesigning my demo site. Originally, this was a dilapidated site based on the unsightly Material Design 2.0 for web design language.     I've never been particularly happy with this site, but as it had low traffic and wasn't overly important, I left it as it was. However, recently I created a new page on it that students at Reading School will be using to generate markdown files for their BBC Young Reporter news articles.  Because of this, I wanted to make this site look visually attractive, and so spent some time finding open-source templates (as
