			===[[Chadius: SwordDraw\|Sword Draw]]===
			This project has been on and off for the last seven years. It has taught Chad several lessons in organizing objects, creating the least amount of complexity while maximizing flexibility, and helped generate design ideas. Currently working on in Python for easier access to debugging tools and memory cleanup.

	===StepTracker Pedometer===		===StepTracker Pedometer===
	Working with AWare Technologies, programmed the state machine for a device. The senior engineer had hooks to read and analyze the accelerometer into the number of steps taken. Also had hooks to use the built in radio to contact a receiver and listen for a reply. Chad Serrant programmed a state machine to count the steps taken, store into a journal entry, and send the entry to the receiver every few hours. The device was a ATMega-132 processor with a Nordic radio attached and optimized for low power consumption. The model is not rechargeable and sealed so the pedometer had to last for about 4-6 months.		Working with AWare Technologies, programmed the state machine for a device.
