Over the past couple of weeks, we've been playing around with them to get used to them and test out their capabilities. We were able to rig up an Arduino Uno to respond to a button press, and post a test post to the estrip website. The programming logic itself was pretty basic, but I am not experienced in web stuff and it took a lot to learn how to craft a good POST header. Paul definitely did though and we were able to work through it. I love nerding out with him, he knows so much.
I can see for larger projects working on the arduino might be frustrating because the storage is so limited, and there aren't tons of libraries available because of it. Also, doing anything object oriented is a pain because you have to go through all these steps to make every new class a library. The Arduino IDE isn't too great either. It's basically a text editor with no other features although you can use an external IDE like Netbeans or Eclipse if you set it up right. But for super simple projects like sensors or little displays, I can see a good use case.
Kind of looks dangerous...
I want to start playing with the raspberry pi and maybe some other sensors to see what projects we can do with some more power.
Great pics!! I am double fisting it lol
And Mike?!!! What on earth? Was libertad an astronaut-in-training?
I am kind of stumped. Who are you supposed to be? What was Paul? Terry in drag = Wow! :)
not sure how cameras on phones work but if the shutter speed slows down with out a flash then movement can cause blur ... Some people know how to do that as an effect but when taking a picture you don't know that person will move so....
lol interesting and amazing :)
Thanks! I need to use my phone camera better so they're not so blurry. But that kind of summarizes the night.
Nice Pictures ........
