ASTROXIA
Where Innovation meets Infinity
Space and Rockets
One of Astrox's top three interests is space and rocketry—a field that blends scientific discovery with technological innovation. He has a strong admiration for several prominent rockets, including Blue Origin’s New Shepard, Rocket Lab’s Electron, SpaceX’s Falcon 9, and the upcoming Neutron rocket. These launch vehicles represent remarkable achievements in modern aerospace engineering and are central to the advancement of space exploration.The concept of “space” can mean different things depending on the context. For some, it includes everything from astronomy and astrophysics to aerospace technology and even astrology. While Astrox is primarily interested in the scientific aspects of space—particularly astronomy and the study of the universe—he acknowledges that astrology, though not a focus of his, is often associated with space in popular culture. His perspective highlights a thoughtful distinction between scientific inquiry and cultural interpretations of the cosmos.
Tech
I love tech because it constantly evolves and challenges the way we think. Programming lets me create and solve real problems, which is incredibly rewarding. The PicoCalc stands out as a compact, powerful tool—perfect for on-the-go coding and experimentation. It's exciting to explore what’s possible with such minimal hardware.
The PicoCalc is a compact and versatile handheld device powered by the Raspberry Pi Pico, designed for coding, portability, and experimentation. It features a full keyboard, a small display, and enough power to run custom programs, making it perfect for developers, tech enthusiasts, or anyone who loves tinkering with hardware. On my channel, I’ve even made an unboxing video showcasing the PicoCalc’s design and functionality—it's a truly unique device that fits in the palm of your hand but opens the door to endless possibilities. I'm especially excited about its potential as a development platform. One of my upcoming projects is to program a lightweight operating system specifically for the PicoCalc. I want to explore how far this little device can be pushed in terms of multitasking, UI design, and real-world utility. It’s a fun challenge and a great way to learn more about low-level programming and embedded systems.
Astralixi
Astralixi, is an Operating System which Astrox is working on for the amazing PicoCalc. It will run on a mere 64kb of ram, and it will support only the Pico board. (sorry Lyras) The OS will be command line based, but it will aim to make your PicoCalc more like your actual computer. It will have a notepad, file manager, app handler, a search engine (eventually), etc. The OS will also obviously have a command line, with over 100 commands for ease of use! For updates on the OS check out Astrox's reddit profile!
