Just listened to episode 270 of TipsFromTheTopFloor PodCast where Chris interviewed the guy behind CHDK. Interesting piece of software which enables a lot of interesting features in quite cheap cameras. Unfortunately my old PowerShot A70 isn’t supported.
Have been using the new SqueezeCenter(Slimserver 7.0) since Christmas but it has been a bit up and down… so tried to get it up again today and here are some useful links for next time:
Where to download it, here.
And howto set it up with an existing MySQL server is described here.
iPeng iPhone skin for SqueezeCenter is here.
Just stumbled upon PikaPika which looks quite cool. Wondered a bit how they have done it and according to their website its just stop motion. Here is an Instructable on how to do it, so some wire seems to help a lot!
17-20 april i år ordnar Storulvån och Sylarna Fjällfest. Det rycktas att även M.A.S.C, mountain and snowkite competition skall gå av stapeln då. Kanske man skulle satsa på att åka upp en sväng då.
Spent some more times on the new PIC project and found some useful stuff:
Mike Pearce Heater project over at MicroChips webiste is more or less what I intend, atleast when it comes to writing code! So Basically I just need to compile it and build the electronics, atleast for a first version.
And looking for a C compiler I found out that nowadays HTSoft have a free version of their PIC C Compiler. And best of all, it has no limitations for the 12F629 or 12%675 which I intend to use!
And ontop of all these great news I also found out that HTSoft now have an eclipse based IDE! HI-TIDE – HI-TECH Integrated Development Environment
Now I just need to get Mike’s code to compile with the PIC C compiler using the HI-TIDE.
