Yuya Tokuyama

Hello! Welcome to my FabAcademy page, where I'll show my experiences during the five months of the course.

Who I am?

My name is Yuya Tokuyama, Fab Academy 2025 student at FabLab Kannai, Japan. I’m a programmer with a passion for electronics. who_I_am.jpg

Where I am from?

I am from Tokyo, Japan. Tokyo is the capital of Japan and one of the largest cities in the world. During the Edo period (1603-1868), it flourished as the home of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and since 1868, when Emperor Meiji relocated the capital to Tokyo, it has become the political, economic, and cultural center of Japan. Tokyo has many historical and cultural landmarks that attract many tourists from Japan and abroad. For example, Sensoji Temple, Meiji Shrine, and the Imperial Palace are well known. There are also many modern landmarks such as Tokyo Tower and Sky Tree, as well as shopping, dining, and entertainment.

Previous work

Ramen Search App

Until then, ramen search apps were just apps that put pins on a map. The problem with that was that you couldn't tell at a glance which ramen was good. So I developed an app that displayed a list of ramen in order of popularity, and displayed a map if necessary. My plan worked, and at the time there were over 70,000 users!

However, this app is no longer available. This is because I ate so much ramen that I was put on a doctor's diet, and I lost my motivation to develop it.

E-Ink Smart Desk Calendar

As it was a pain to write my appointments in my desk calendar every time, I created a calendar that automatically links with Google Calendar using Raspberry Pi Pico and electronic paper.

It uses electronic paper, so it can run for over a month on batteries alone. It was implemented using the Python standard library calendar module and the Google Calendar API.

Apple Magic Mouse 2 Dock

I use the Apple Magic Mouse 2, but there is one weak point with it. When you want to charge it, you have to turn it over and plug in the cable. It looks like a pill bug and it's not beautiful. So I made a Mouse Dock with a 3D printer. Thanks to instructor Tamiya from FabLab Kannai, who taught us how to make 3D models in Fusion.
