3D-Printed Solar System
Here is project #2 with the new 3D printer, just like the Berlin Wall it’s an artsy one: the eight planets of our Solar System scaled down by a factor of about 109. This post contains a photo gallery of […]

Berlin Wall Miniature
Every morning I pass by the Berlin Wall in the area of the East Side Gallery and have started to appreciate this unique piece of history with the diverse paintings on it. The first project with my recently acquired 3D […]
Logging Piano Keystrokes With a Serverless Backend
Over the past months I have been working on a private project which is about logging piano keystrokes. The idea is to have a Raspberry Pi cable-connected to a digital piano and have it read the piano’s MIDI signal. While […]
Denk Development Turns Four
The date of this blog post’s publication coincides with Denk Development’s fourth birthday (or rather founding day). Back in early 2016 I started to receive requests from people on the internet, who had seen my YouTube videos in which I […]
My Arduino Boilerplate Sketch
When starting a new Arduino project, one typically starts with a blank .ino file. Over the past years I have identified software patterns that appear across almost all of my Arduino projects. To better support those, I have created an […]
Notes on the Book “Israel: A Concise History of a Nation Reborn”
In January 2020 I went on a trip to Israel to explore the country. In preparation I read the book “Israel: A Concise History of a Nation Reborn” by Daniel Gordis and took some notes. My goal was to better […]
My Looked-up English Words
Since 2015 I have kept track of the words I looked up to either translate them from English to German oder the other way around. Now, five years later, I have got #636 English words and their German meaning on […]
My Favorite Papers at NeurIPS 2019
In December 2019 I had the pleasure to attend the 33rd Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS 2019) in Vancouver, Canada, to present my work on document understanding. During the three main conference days there were a total of […]
ShiftRegister74HC595 Arduino Library
The ShiftRegister74HC595 Arduino Library simplifies shift registers usage. It allows you to set single pins of your shift register either high or low, just like normal Arduino pins. It thereby removes the overhead of shifting out bytes that were created […]
Exporting Matplotlib Plots to LaTeX
This blog post explains how plots from matplotlib can be exported to PGF files, which in turn can be imported into $\LaTeX$ documents. All figures in this post are links that point to the source code used to generate them. […]
