https://xconnected.ch/2013/05/25/tcounter-arduino-library

Technology and other fun stuff. May 25, 2013. When programming you will find some common functionalities you need over and over again. Well, this is all about reuseablility, software packaging, Object Orientation etc. As this story has been discussed by many for years I stop now and dive into the actual subject of this post. I have prepared a few Arduino C /processing classes, packaged them as libraries and released them on github. In this and the following posts I will explore one after the other. You a...

Technology and other fun stuff. May 22, 2013. LedStripShow – a glimpse under the hood. In the last post I briefly presented the hardware of the LedStripShow. This post sheds some light on the software part and outlines the core design principles and the basic components of the solution. While the project was just for fun, I had the ambition to learn something about programming and improve my skills. Driven by this ambition I decided to define some design principles – the application shall…. Provides the ...

TSwitch (Arduino Library) | xconnected

https://xconnected.ch/2013/05/30/tswitch-arduino-library

Technology and other fun stuff. May 30, 2013. The second library component I would like to present is TSwitch. TSwitch handles hardware switches attached to the Arduino. It does the debouncing, reads the state and detects long and short press (aka doubleclick) :. The easiest way to instantiate the class is (for more details please refer to the code):. TSwitch switch = TSwitch(arduino pin);. Then you poll the object continously. 1:0; }; / - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -...

Technology and other fun stuff. June 1, 2013. TLedStrip is a library I haven’t seen anywhere else yet and I htink this one is extermely useful. TLedStrip creates a buffer containing rgb values of a predefined size and offers a series of manipulations on that buffer. Actually it is like a one dimensional graphics driver. Building an instance of TLedStrip is once again simple:. TLedStrip ledstrip = TLedStrip(number of leds);. Now you can apply the following operations on the buffer:. May 30, 2013. Switch&#...

Technology and other fun stuff. Monthly Archives: July 2014. July 7, 2014. Android 4.4 and the SD card. Quite likely you have heard that Android 4.4 aka KitKat comes with a nasty change on the sd card. Apps cannot wrize to the sd card anymore respectively they can only write into their dedicated home directory. In the hierarchy of this directory you find a .nomedia file, so storing media files there hides them from standard apps. Let me briefly rant about this change…. Any app can snoop into any data.

TTimer (Arduino Library) | xconnected

https://xconnected.ch/2013/05/28/ttimer-arduino-library

Technology and other fun stuff. May 28, 2013. TTimer is not one and only – there quite a few examples around – however I made one myself because I needed one that is simple to use. First about the capabilites… TTimer can be set to a certain amount of milli seconds, periodically polled and when this time passed it calls a function of type:. If nothing else is specified it starts over, but you can restrict the class to repeat this a certain amount of time. TTimer timer = TTimer(time, callback). RUN) return...

Technology and other fun stuff. July 7, 2014. Quantified Self Fitbit vs Withings. While I am always a little hesitant about collecting and sharing personal information I couldn’t resist to try these wearables ehich counting steps, elevation etc. Due to a cross corporate event I carry a plain pedometer with me. So I used this opportunity to test a Fitbit One and a a Withings Pulse by carry one of these in addition for a few weeks and compare the results. The Fitbit has just a simple display and a button n...
