Just like the last time, I saw another tutorial on pyroelectro. This one created a cyclop’s eye. I was interested in trying this out using my arduino. Again, it slightly departs from the tutorial. You can take a look at the code on github. Leave your suggestions in comments!
We were discussing something yesterday and it came up for us to arrive at all the possible words with at least 3 letters using the letters in the word ‘football’. We started out with a paper and pencil and came up with about 2 dozens when it struck me that I could do this with python. The pseudo code in my mind was this: generate all permutations/combinations of the letters in the word...
Perhaps the best tool I ever learnt. I still remembering my boss mentioning this in a casual chat and encouraging us to learn Python. Sometime in 2005, I think. I learnt the basic usage in about a week. Python has been my language of choice since then. Its a little sad to think I have not quite mastered the language till date! I still have a long way to go before I can claim to be good in python....
… That’s a thought that keeps hitting me every now and then. I am reasonably good at my work (or) at least not so bad that somebody had to ask me get my act straight. Yet. I definitely like what I do. So that’s not where it starts either. But sometimes, computers are all that fascinate me. I can probably design one of my own in some years, it still doesn’t count for actually getting one to do what you want it to!...
A fascinating field of study. I always had a thing for Artificial Intelligence. I even did an elective course in my bachelor’s. Only later I understood that the course did not even scratch the surface. It just saw it using a home made telescope, where the topic is probably the moon. Ok, not to demean the diy’rs, I am referring to a simple telescope you’d cheat a two year old with....
I came across this tutorial in pyroelectro. I wanted to try it out myself without completing the tutorial. I used a few hints from the tutorial and came up with a working system. This is pretty much the same as the one in tutorial, just that I don’t have the 7-segment display. I implemented using an Arduino UNO and some discrete components. I have a breadboard solution working now and am planning to make a protoboard version as well....
