Hi, I’m Kyle, and this is HansenLabs.
HansenLabs is a blog about projects I work on for a lab that doesn’t exist in a basement that does. I tinker mostly with electronics and software.
Not all of the designs I make will be ideal, nor will all the algorithms be perfectly efficient. Sometimes the math could be wrong, and some gadgets may use way too much power. But I intend to write about what I discover while working on these projects in order to inspire others who don’t have a PhD in electrical engineering but want to build a DC motor anyway.
About me, I’m a ~30-year-old dad and software developer living in the midwestern United States. I have a bachelor’s degree in computer science and a hobby interest in electronics.
Thanks for visiting, and I hope you find something interesting and useful!
I currently use and very much enjoy the following tools:
- Original Prusa i3 MK3 3D printer
- Wen 8″ drill press
- Central Machinery scroll saw
- Corded Dremel rotary tool
- EvenTek 30v bench power supply
- Weller 300w soldering station
- QuadHands third-hand tool (mostly for soldering)
- Your various common hand-tools
