I have been working on converting the SacLUG website to using Pelican. I forked the NBLUG site and I have been working to get it going with SacLUG on Github. The NBLUG guys have done a great job!
This is my current Stratux build. It uses the standard Raspberry Pi cases, the Raspberry Pi 3, two Nooelec NESDR SDRs, a NooElec 1090 SMA antenna, a NooElec 978 SMA antenna, and an external U-BLOX 7 GPS module. I used an USB hub from Best Buy for plugging in the SDRs and the GPS. It runs my slightly customized fork. I put in two suction cups for fastening it to the rear window. Thus far, I have used it with Cessna 152. I used foam core and a hot glue gun to construct the mounting. One of the issues is that the plane vibration seems to have affected the connection of the SDRs in the USB hub. I also got Waverunner Pi hat, yet I have not attempted to add it yet.
This is hello world code snippet in C++
<code>#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << "Hello cruel world" << endl;
return 0;
}</code>
I just started working with Node JS and the ESM Standard with the import statement. I got the repeated error SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module. I searched the internet and this is the closest I came with finding information regarding modules.
Put the following in b.js. It has the value we want to export
<code>export const myValue = 42;</code>
Put this in a.js. It will import the value from b.js
<code>import { myValue } from './b.js';
console.log('The value of b is:', myValue); // use imports</code>
To make all this work, we need to create a package.json file, so that it will allow the import.
<code>{
"name": "my-package",
"version": "1.0.0",
"type": "module"
}</code>
Now run it.
<code>$ node a.js</code>
Output should look like this
<code>The value of b is: 42</code>
The following will do real time tracking using gpsbabel and write it to a file for my Etrex 10
gpsbabel -T -i garmin,baud=38400,get_posn -f /dev/ttyUSB0 -o nmea -F mylocation.nmea
This is the command I used
I attached the Garmin Etrex 10 to Fedora using the USB cable. I put myself in the dialup group and the command executed without issue.
gpsbabel -i garmin,get_posn -f /dev/ttyUSB0 -o kml -F myposition.kml
I have been riding the following single speed bike.
I enabled letsencrypt for brie.com today. Turns out for www and non-www, you have to give it the -d option for the www.brie.com and the -d option for the non-www domain. It works now for both. Yay for letsencrypt.
As root, do the following on Debian Squeeze.
# certbot --authenticator standalone --installer apache \ -d brie.com -d www.brie.com --pre-hook "service apache2 stop" --post-hook "service apache2 start"
I have been working on redeveloping Bill Kendrick’s Madbomber game so that it runs on Android. Bill originally wrote Madbomber back in 1999 in SDL1. When I bought the Android Nexus 7 tablet, I thought that it would be a good platform for running madbomber as it has become a popular game platform. SDL2 now supports Android, so I have been rewriting it for SDL2. I also made the source so that it uses autoconf, so that it will check for proper libraries. I haven’t done a full release of the Android version of the game, but once I do the release of the Android game, I will publish the source for the Android. It’s actually the same source, put you just have to put into the Android build framework. Check out Madbomber2 sources.
I updated the Raffle application so that the winner can choose his prize. I need to get this on Git. In the meantime, check the source here. It still has it so that you can pick a prize and then a random winner.
