Ancient greek crane
Just an ideaFascinated by the ancient greek technology, I decided to build a crane.
The structure of the crane is made of wood, but many of the components are 3D printed. A complex network infrastrucure, also allows to control the crane remotely via a PS2 joystick.
Model rockets
CompletedA pair of simple but spectacular to see model rockets.
The rockets were built to celebrate my BSc in Mechanical Engineering, and in one of them an on board computer was installed to telemetry the flight data.
Pro Hackin' Project
CompletedPersonal transportation vehicle, in collaboration with 'RIMAC Automobili'
Valid as the final project for my BSc in Mechanical Engineering, this experience last for 3 months and was a great opportunity to learn and collaborate with other students coming from different backgrounds.
Joppo the rotor
CompletedA demonstrative but functional model of a rotor.
The rotor is taken from an old lawn mower and is driven by a custom electronic circuit. The speed of the rotor can be controlled by a potentiometer.
Night photo trap
In progress (25%)An home made night photo trap to capture the wildlife in the garden.
The camera is given by an old smartphone and the trigger is sent by a PIR sensor.
Autonomous car
Just an ideaA model car that can automously navigate in traffic roads.
The car is equipped with a camera, a lidar and a GPS module. The main control unit is written in Python and runs on a Raspberry Pi 4.
Around the globe
CompletedScript to compute distances and azimuthal directions between two points on the Earth's surface.
A live version of the code is available through the associated portal (see Portal section).
Bocchio's website
In progress (65%)The web ecosystem behind this website.
After many iterations, I finally transformed this web space into a personal playground where I can experiment with new technologies and share my projects.
Gorlu the plotter
CompletedA compact CNC plotter.
Based on Arduino and Canny edge algorithm, Gorlu is able to process any digital image and generate a physical, post it size, monochromatic representation of it.
Reassembly of a model engine and test bench
CompletedAfter years of storage, I decidec to restore a rusty model engine and build a proper test bench to tune it.
