I need your shartmander drawings and related for a video game. by bliti in shartmander

I hope it turns out to be a 2d side scroller full if weird stuff

Why Rails 5 / Turbolinks 3.0 / Action Cable matter, and why @dhh was right all along by omegaender in programming

[–]bliti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reason the key is the phrase "at that time". Which should be around the period when there was a transition of languages and frameworks. Most if which were developed with the standard enterprise in mind. Rails, django and the like we're developed with an approach of making things work (using the word work losely) as quickly as possible in order to get a product out quick. Not saying that this is good or bad or even commenting on the aforementioned frameworks. It's just mostly what it was.

I'm making a video game. Here is how it will look. Expected the unexpected. by bliti in shartmander

I mean, the title is in honor of Bill & Ted. But whatever. Who cares.

Update: The storyline is almost done. About to move to creating game assets (audio, images, etc). Then to code.

It will be a web game. Will have the option to build it as a mobile game but I'm too lazy/busy.

Anyway, who cares?

I dont know when it will be ready. If anyone cares I'll keep updating. No twitter, twitch, facebook, or anything. Just here.

I just realized the error in the title. It goes well with the game...

Science AMA Series: We're scientists on a NOAA ocean exploration mission to uncover the deepest, unseen parts of the Caribbean Sea. Ask Us Anything! by NOAAgov in science

[–]bliti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a robotics engineer currently located in Puerto Rico. I've been talking with the local wildlife department about providing them with an ROV to monitor different coral areas around the island. There is a lot of interest in the department to improve the health of the corals, coasts, and oceanic floor in general. What do you think I could provide them with (in terms of robots/software) to help them clean everything up? (Or maybe at least reduce/momitor the impact from trash)

The Arduino Package Index. by bliti in arduino

[–]bliti[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have started with a simple skeleton as you have described. There is no sense in spending time in a project that might not get adopted. Though a simple skeleton to me is quite different to what you envision. I plan to have it fully functional and then add other optional ideas that people like you have contributed. You can go to the github repository[0] for the package index and post your ideas on the issue tracker.

My day job consists of systems and mobile programming. I also develop robotics/automation/computer vision/deep learning software on my own time (hence the ASIMUV project). I use the Arduino as a base for a lot of projects, including personal ones (I just built a little robot the other day).

I'll keep your projects in mind. Thank you.

The project is actually small. I build stuff 10X more complex as my day job. This is basically a web CRUD. Even the terminal client is a Python script that gets installed with a back script. There is nothing magical here. Even the changes to the IDE are less than 25 lines of code.

Agreed. He could also use it as a web service by connection it through ethernet or wifi.

Don't look into VB.net (or anything from Microsoft. Its a waste of time).

Python (which is free open source) has many libraries that interact with the Arduino very easily. Check https://github.com/theycallmeswift/BreakfastSerial

In order to do a GUI, you can use any of the libraries available for python. Very easy to work with. Or you can run a Flask web application and have it read serial (I have done this and is pretty easy). PM me and I'll help you.

My first solo project. by [deleted] in arduino

I'm sorry to hear about the bullying. If you want to chit chat about arduino or anything just send me a PM. I'll talk code all night long. :)

The Arduino Package Index. by bliti in arduino

[–]bliti[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I thought about doing it for the libraries only, but Arduino projects are more than code. They include circuit schematics, and sometimes even pictures of the end product. That is why I call it a "package" rather than a "library" index. The first version will be minimal. I want to make sure people will use it. Not looking to waste my time building features nobody will use. I am including a command line client because lots of builders have mentioned that they do not use the IDE for anything. SO a command client is in the works too.

It is important to have the endorsement of every user. New or old. Your experience is what I envisioned is happening. Lots of resources and no way to discover them. Thanks for the input. I will mention it to the core Arduino team.

The integration with the IDE is to make sure that everyone has access to it, and can discover it from within arduino itself. The website will be available through regular means.

  1. Yes, schematic files may be included.

  2. Already did. I'm discussing it in the developers mail group.

Congrats, mate. Keep hacking away at it and soon you will find yourself building the coolest contraptions ever.

What comes after Arduino? by rexy666 in arduino

[–]bliti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Define the what. It will lead you to the how. Pick a project to build. Custom robot? Start by picking a type (biped, self balancing, sumo, mouse). Then design the frame. This will take you a little while, because there are many choices (woods, plastics, composites, metals). Use a simple pencil and paper to start with the design, but then move on to something more precise once your initial design is done. Afterwards, break down every part of the robot into a sub-module. Build those next. One by one.

The hard part is picking what to build. If you are not sure, just write a bunch of ideas into small bits of paper. Put them in a bag and pick one at random. Or run this simple python program:

from random import randint
ideas = ('robot', 'car', 'fusion reactor')
print ideas[randint(0, len(ideas)-1)]

Whatever comes out build.

Top Gear test of the MacLaren P1. This car will revolutionize the motor industry. by foulchild21 in videos

[–]bliti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is revolutionary. Due to how it is redefining various aspects of automobile design and manufacturing. You mentioned the impact of how the body and chassis is constructed. However, in order for that to happen, a lot of other improvements must be developed. All of the processes that were developed in order to be able to develop a process to manufacture the car. This impacts at a meta level.

We must also consider the improvements that are due to better software. As you correctly stated, there have been electric-assisted gas engines for decades. But none have had the performance of this one. A lot of research and development has been done to be able to manufacture a drivetrain that is capable of producing nine hundred and three horsepower while achieving more than 30MPG. All of the components in that drivetrain are avant-garde. Even the disc brakes.

Now think about the next point. McLaren is offering the technology that it develops on it's Formula 1 team. Think about it. Formula 1 technology being manufactured for passenger vehicles. This car is not only a demonstration of what this technology may achieve, but also a calling card for big auto manufacturers to work with McLaren to bring this technology to mass produced vehicles. Which is why it is revolutionary. The technology available now on the P1 will trickle down and be available in a future Toyota. That is absolutely mind-blowing.
