How to configure a Raspberry Pi to receive IR input from a remote control using the new kernel drivers, ir-keytable & ir-ctl, rather then LIRC. Then using that input to run a script to reboot the device.
How to implement a Spring Boot domain object / JPA entity that handles Stripe event webhook callback, using a custom @Convert to save to a MySQL database as a json type column.
(That should cover the buzzwords, Google bait and scare off anyone who doesn’t care.)
A document workflow using mostly Markdown files, iCloud to sync between devices and a cron scheduled git commits.
Apple Script that will create a new Markdown file in the current folder, copying the filename to the first line as a H1.
Bulk convert Markdown headers with double underlines and underlines to hash/pound/number sign style.
I created a coffee table from a toolbox chest of drawers, castors, wood, steel and concrete.
Stupid Remote is a web app that controls devices over HDMI CEC and infrared: turning tvs on and off, switching inputs adjusting volume. Customization requires editing simple HTML and JavaScript and uses cec-client and lircd for control.
Stupid Remote v4 has been released, changes include new docs, audited dependencies and working Swagger UI.
OpenCV is an Open Source computer vision library that, among other things, can recognize faces, including eyes and smiles.
I set out a few weeks ago to build some prototypes with the library, to get an idea of how it works. I have created 3 prototypes, one that detects faces, one that detects eyes and one that detects smiles. All the projects are on GitHub here and they all use Python 3.
In February I finally got a Prusa i3 Mk3 3D printer that was ordered in December, a very late Xmas gift. I had struggled with a MakerBot Replicator previously, but based on my research, I had high hopes for the Mk3.
This is the story of the first few weeks of 3D printing and what I learned.
