Blog Of Keven Hu

After a successful demonstration take place earlier this week, the Rhenium Multitool Software I developed was selected for the STEM Carnival!

Software packs school select included:
Rhenium Launcher
Wolfram Cypher
Iridium Disk Monitor
Tantalum Password Wizard
Tellurium Calculator

These days many students asked for copies of this software, this really surprised me as I never expect this tool will be so popular and loved. Develop an simple but useful tool for everyone is always my purpose and goal, thanks for everyone that help me and push me to do better toward this aim. As a gift to you all, on the STEM Carnival of March 18 Rhenium will be released as a freeware, being provide to all participants of this impressive and exciting festival of Science and Technology!

After hours of trying, all problem seems to be solved! I, Keven Hu, now have decleard that this Blog website is officially put into use.

I opened the parcel: Inside the box, it lay five blue circuit boards protected by two thick foam mats. Trace of flux and rosin was already washed out by cleaning liquids, with only a thin layer of white matte suggesting its previous existence. After countless nights staying up late for optimization and testing, the second prototype of my development board is finally completed. I took one of them out of the box, gazing at it and reminiscing about all I had come through during the past half year.
For one who is passionate about both engineering and programming like me, a development board that meets one’s own demands is essential: By testing new programs and schemes with such a platform before applying them to the actual design, a considerable amount of time and resources can be saved. Yet, as affordable boards available on the market could not satisfy my needs for size and performance at the same time, I had to change boards frequently between stages of development, which eventually offset this advantage. Desiring to address this disturbing issue, I started to develop my own board. Benefited by the design guidelines of chip manufacturers and previous experience, progress was steady and smooth; I completed a satisfying schematic during the first week, and by the end of the first month, the first prototype was ready for its testing.
When pressing the power switch of the device, I was cheered with the imagination of success that was soon shattered by reality: The board showed no response. This setback crumbled my confidence, yet knowing staring at the ruined board could not help, I chose to put myself together and respond with the probe of the multimeter.
Abnormal resistance values indicated wiring failures, whose reliability was poor due to design flaws. Routing of complex circuits is an intricate discipline in which I lacked experience; thus, what was required to find out and address the cause of my current issue was far beyond my novice grasp. Desiring to drag myself out of this dilemma, I shifted my own pattern from aimless groping to concentrate on tutorials and video lessons offered by open-source communities. Besides, the known importance of mentors’ guidance for me to master concepts and gain from solid understanding, I started to seek the help of seasoned engineers through technology forums, and they generously provided me with a lot of valuable advice and instructions. My growth was not only absorbing skills such as using copper laying and teardrops proficiently, but also personal growth, such as being more concentrated and patient.
After reminiscing about all I had come through during the past one and a half years, I took a deep breath and pulled myself out of memories. With a short pause that I attempted to prepare myself, I plugged in the power cord. I thought I was ready to embrace this moment of destiny, yet, soaked in the emotion of anxiety, I still unconsciously closed my eyes.
Life is not a novel; that initial goal will always be accomplished after a series of failures. For most of the time, it is just one failure after another, and people may abandon it as they feel it is hard to convert these setbacks directly into clues that lead to success. However, it is always true that failures are case studies that provide us with a chance to gain experiences, helping us improve relevant skills and form a deeper understanding. With continuous accumulation, these developments will form knowledge that enables us to achieve what is even more advanced than what we once considered our own success. Once they are accepted and used properly, failures become mirrors that can help one to be a better version of oneself.
Said I to myself, under the leap of faint white lights from a thumb-sized blue device, greeting the reddish halo of the rising sun with a hymn written in the language of binary: “Hello world.”
