Since Josef installed Asterisk on his PC I have been interested in doing it as well but never really got time or enough motivation. For instance one problem has been my server is in the closet and I dont want to go there and answer the phone nore have a lot of more cables going in and out from there. So what to do? Therefore this was really interesting:
VoIP DECT and analogue phones on OSS linux soundcards using asterisk
When I was akid we used to build small hovercrafts and race with them. Had we known that you could easily build one where you could drive yourself on we would have built it! The instructions are simple. Found this site too that has another design.
I’m quite interested in experimental photography and the interest has increased since I got my digital camera last year. One thing I really like is that it’s so easy to take images in dark situations. Though one problem is that I do not have a remote control for the camera so some images gets blurry due to motion. Canon does not have a remote control either so what to do? Build one yourself of course! It can not be that hard since you can take images with the camera from the computer once you have connected it, but I dont want to bring a PC every time. So I started looking on the net to see if someone else had done this already. I could not find any.
Though I found this document: Canon PowerShot Series Transfer Protocol Specifications Friday, August 8, 2003 which will most likely be really useful. The next problem is to find a really small and cheap CPU, like the PICs from MicroChip, nut that can be a USB host. Any tips are most welcome..
This project has just started….
Have bben working with a Plam application that read data from a device connected on the serial port. Had some problems with it. To see what actually was received I needed some tools and I found these;
RealTerm from SourceForge. Its specifically developed for debugging serial communication!
HCalc was also convinient to have when calculating CRCs.
The RealTerm people are working on another project I should check out when I got time. A PIC programmer, called PP06.
Stumbled into this UNIX guide which seems to include a lot of useful information. Probably good to keep it, that why I blogged it 🙂
I have been working on a Palm application for somw days now. Its a tool to log data from a device connected to the serial port of the Palm. The data is stored in a file on the memory card. The first version will just support one specific device, the 3DM-G tilt and motion sensor from Microstrain Inc.
I stumbled into some weird problems. All worked just dine in the Palm Simulator on the PC but once I moved it to the Palm T3 I use the T3 crashed after each hotsync. This answers why: Re: HotSync Fatal Exception
