John R. Leeman. Scientist by day, engineer by night, coder by birth…mad scientist at large. Decatur, AR Wx Station. I'm a PhD student at Penn State University in the department of geosciences. My main research interests are rock/fracture mechanics and instrumentation development. Integrating laboratory experiments, theoretical/numerical models, field observations, and geological intuition I believe we can tackle some of the most interesting questions facing the community today.

John R. Leeman. Scientist by day, engineer by night, coder by birth…mad scientist at large. Decatur, AR Wx Station. July 30, 2015. Again we have a short project post in-between the posts of the open science series (part 3 coming soon)! This time I want to share a fun little project involving cheap drones and an instrument pack that I designed on top of the Light Blue Bean module. Should you want to reproduce the boards, the files to send off to a board house are available on a GitHub repository here.
