Arduino - Introduction - 0 views

  • What is Arduino?
  • Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board.
  • Inexpensive - Arduino boards are relatively inexpensive compared to other microcontroller platforms. The least expensive version of the Arduino module can be assembled by hand, and even the pre-assembled Arduino modules cost less than $50

  • Cross-platform - The Arduino software runs on Windows, Macintosh OSX, and Linux operating systems. Most microcontroller systems are limited to Windows.
  • Simple, clear programming environment - The Arduino programming environment is easy-to-use for beginners, yet flexible enough for advanced users to take advantage of as well. For teachers, it's conveniently based on the Processing programming environment, so students learning to program in that environment will be familiar with the look and feel of Arduino
  • Open source and extensible software- The Arduino software and is published as open source tools, available for extension by experienced programmers. The language can be expanded through C++ libraries, and people wanting to understand the technical details can make the leap from Arduino to the AVR C programming language on which it's based. SImilarly, you can add AVR-C code directly into your Arduino programs if you want to.
  • Open source and extensible hardware - The Arduino is based on Atmel's ATMEGA8 and ATMEGA168 microcontrollers. The plans for the modules are published under a Creative Commons license, so experienced circuit designers can make their own version of the module, extending it and improving it. Even relatively inexperienced users can build the breadboard version of the module in order to understand how it works and save money.

Tor Project: Overview - 0 views

  • Overview
  • Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. It also enables software developers to create new communication tools with built-in privacy features. Tor provides the foundation for a range of applications that allow organizations and individuals to share information over public networks without compromising their privacy. Individuals use Tor to keep websites from tracking them and their family members, or to connect to news sites, instant messaging services, or the like when these are blocked by their local Internet providers. Tor's hidden services let users publish web sites and other services without needing to reveal the location of the site. Individuals also use Tor for socially sensitive communication: chat rooms and web forums for rape and abuse survivors, or people with illnesses.

'Anti-Facebook' project nears launch | Software, Interrupted - CNET News - 0 views

  • open-source social networking project Diaspora
  • if the team is half as good at building software as it is at building hype, there might be something interesting in the upcoming release, and maybe even a viable business.
  • The big challenge is that the enterprise developer world isn't screaming out for an open-source Facebook, nor are consumers really looking to run their own instances of social networks. What they really want is for Facebook to take privacy more seriously
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • And for those who do want to run their own social sites, there are any number of options, including Ning and Buddypress as well as extensions to Drupal and other publishing systems. Additionally, a number of other companies, including Ringside Networks, founded by JBoss alumni, took a run at developing a social application server only to find a lack of market.

Scripting News: WikiLeaks on the run - 0 views

  • ikiLeaks says you can find them through wikileaks.ch, which redirects to a dotted ID. People exchange this information on Twitter. So in a weird sneaker-net sort of way we have implemented a human DNS.
  • All the while there's a huge glaring 800-pound-gorilla elephant-in-the-room size contradiction. The pols say that businesses can't support WikiLeaks, but the Guardian and the NY Times and the newspapers in Pakistan, Indonesia, Israel -- all over the world -- they're businesses too. So if they're really serious about this, we're in First Amendment territory. They ought to be careful, because the politicians depend on these businesses to sell their product. Without them, they have no way to lie to us.   See the problem isn't that WikiLeaks is lying, the problem is that they're telling the truth. This is not business as usual. 
  • It seems to me that at the end of this chain is BitTorrent. That when WikiLeaks wants to publish the next archive, they can get their best practice from eztv.it, and have 20 people scattered around the globe at the ends of various big pipes ready to seed it. Once the distribution is underway the only way to shut it down will be to shut down the Internet itself.

gkaindl.com → software → arduino ethernet - 0 views

  • Arduino Ethernet is a collection of libraries I have written to use within the Arduino programming environment in conjunction with the Ethernet shield. While the individual libraries are downloaded within a single archive, they do not depend on each other (unless noted otherwise) and can be used independently. The libraries are published under the GPLv2 (or, at your discretion, any later version). Individual libraries EthernetBonjour | Documentation EthernetDHCP | Documentation EthernetDNS | Documentation Also, by popular demand, I've prepared a very simple demo sketch using DNS, DHCP and Bonjour together. Basically, it gets network configuration data via DHCP, then lets you resolve DNS names via the DNS server received from DHCP, all while announcing its DHCP-assigned IP address via link-local Bonjour — Basically a combination of examples from the individual libraries, which I also recommend to look at, as they contain lots of comments explaining how stuff works.
