Motores app for Android phones

Tuesday, April 14, 2015
Introduction Petrol engines used in lawnmowers, tillers, garden tractors require regular maintenance (such as changing oil, air cleaner, etc) every 20-30 hours of runtime. This app helps tracking engine runtime in manual mode, when user initiates start and stop events or in semi-automatic mode by "listening" to the noise. Once engine's runtime reaches a point […]

Simple RJ45-pluggable IR-repeater

Monday, March 9, 2015

Design of this IR-repeater is based on a photo detector TSMP58138 made by Vishay. This detector differs from many others of this kind by the carrier out signal. The datasheet gives a sample circuit for a repeater application. This design offers slightly modified circuit with visual feedback and an implementation in form of a RJ45 […]

Implementing C++ designated initializers with templetized constructor

Monday, November 10, 2014

C99 facilitates support designated initializers: I found this handy feature very useful, since it does not require remembering order of the struct fields and simplifies refactoring and/or evolving of the existing code. C++0X and C++1X does not allow this (please follow this link for more details) This page has inspired me on a practical solution […]

Tablet-friendly web gallery engine

Thursday, November 15, 2012

Recently I’ve been looking for a tablet-friendly web gallery engine to browse our family’s photo archive. I’ve googled a lot, read couple dozen of reviews, and finally came up with a short list of five galleries to evaluate. Indeed, managed to install only three of them and, unfortunately, none of them was exact match to […]

MIHA675 – Multi Input Hall Automaton

Thursday, December 7, 2006

Previous examples illustrated VELOOS programming aspects. This post provides an example of using object oriented paradigm for designing VELOOS application. Unlike the previous examples which were purely programming exercises, this example is dedicated to a utilitarian home appliance application and provides a "reference design" for VELOOS applications.

VELOOS Example 3

Wednesday, December 6, 2006

This example for PIC12F675 implements set of “actuators” and “generators” controlled via USART. Actuators produce one 300 ms pulse when it receives command ‘ON’ and three 100 ms pulses delimited with 100 ms spaces (pauses) on command ‘OFF’. Generators, when turned on, produce pulses and spaces of the specified duration (1..255).

VELOOS Example 1

Friday, November 10, 2006

The previous post gave a brief introduction to VELOOS design idea. VELOOS assumes that an application is decomposed on PDOs (Process Data Objects). This post describes by example features provided by VELOOS for implementing PDO.
