Minecraft Serverlist
Created for players to find their new favorite server, the site featured a lot of ways to filter after parameters.
The backend consisted of PHP5, but an extra solution was developed to query a large number of servers for data. Thus a C++ application has been created that checks every three minutes all servers for accessibility, the number of players and ping. Players were also able to vote for their server. After a successful voting, the C++ software notified the servers about the vote. Subsequently, players received a reward selected by the server provider.
The website was used to finance server costs without any profit. However after running for about 4 years, the effort to keep it up to date was too high, so the project came to an end.

Ticket & Eventsystem
Made for events within Hof-University.
Uses a card reader to anonymously scan student-ids in a pre-sale, also receipts with sale data are printed
for extra redundancy. On entrance, the cards are read, to check whether the guest bought tickets and how
many of them. Also, it features a guestlist functionality with a quick name search.
It is possible to use
the software on multiple computers simultaneously as it is synchronized by a database.
Successfully used in real events with 1200 - 1400 guests. The software made entrance much quicker.

Ju-hof.de
Created for the youth organization of a political party in Hof. The website focuses on a modern design utilizing the organizations' colors. A wide portrait of the city is used as prevailing landing section. News are embedded by including the social media channel of the organizations Facebook page. By alternating portraits and description, the introduction of the team members is realized in a modern fashion. This also improves readability.
Sids-hof.de
This website is made for a project called "Studenten in die Stadt" (Students into the city).
The project makes agreements with local businesses to give students a discount.
The accompanying website reads current partners in an automated way and classifies them into
three different
categories. The categories with the respective businesses and a description
of the discount offered are shown. By using the Google Maps-API, visitors can see the location
of each
business. The colors of the website and the categories represent the three colors of the city:
blue, yellow and red.

HeadsetControl
When a headset is plugged in under Linux or OS X the audio works, but other features don't. In particular controlling LEDs, requesting battery status and especially sidetone. Unfortunately, manufacturers only provide software for Windows systems. Thus this project tries to fill the gap of lacking OS support by writing drivers.
Quadrocopter
Starting in 2012, when drones weren't yet popular, assembly of a custom made
quadrocopter with self-made software took place. It was based on ARM Cortex M4 with nuttx as
realtime-os.
This video
shows first tests of my implementation of the madgwicks AD algorithm with a compass, accelerometer,
and gyroscope. The quadrocopter was controlled with a joystick connected to a laptop, running a
self-made control center implemented in C++/QT.
Later I decided that continuing in writing the software was too complex. Also, failsafe mechanisms were
missing (not possible with only a laptop, an FM transmitter is needed). The last state of this copter is
shown as a background image in the bottom-right corner.
As next step, the previously used STM32F4 board with self-written software was replaced with a Pixhawk
PX4, providing fully autonomous flight. The updated project is seen in the three gallery pictures below.
The weight of the copter is approximately 3kg and the motors have a maximum power consumption of 1500
Watts. The blades are
33cm in diameter. Because of the large blades and high torque of the forceful engines, inertia made the
blades' screws got loose fast, while in flight (they were indeed tightened very hard!). So even two
pairs of expensive counter-clockwise rotating screws have been bought.
The maximum possible additional load is ~3kg.
