Recently I have been writing software designed to take imagery for astronomy applications, and it turns out astronomy types love FITS. FITS is great, but the C libraries available are not. If you live in Python land, astropy does a good job at hiding the ugliness from you. But if you live in C/C++ land, …
I hate the internet. I hate it not only because it shows us the decay of society in real-time, but also because I do not really understand it. So I came up with a concept for a gift that attempts to satirise not only the way people use the internet to dish out their unqualified opinion, but also the shallow way in which people deliver that opinion…
27/12/2022 UPDATE: I have finally managed to fix a few annoying bugs with this library and release a new version. Hopefully it continues to get some use out there! SPIFFS (or SPI Flash File System) is very cool. It is an Open Source Library intended for SPI NOR flash devices on embedded targets. Embedded targets …
I recently began a project where I needed to build some dead simple, HTML only static web pages during runtime with the ESP8266 to represent data stored on the filesystem. Depending on the number of files located on the filesystem various buttons, forms, and text needed to be generated. In addition I needed some templating …
SEGGER SystemView is a very cool graphical tool for embedded systems that enables the visualisation of run-time behaviour in an application by the recording on configurable events. These events can be recorded using J-Link, IP, or UART communication. A huge plus for using SystemView is that it is totally free to use, provided that in one event …
Nodel is an open source digital media control system for museums and galleries, although there are many valid uses for Nodel outside of this scope where device control, monitoring, and scheduling is required. In response to the pending renewal at the Australia Centre for the Moving Image, the technical services team decided to trial Nodel to assess it’s suitability …

Nodel is an open source digital media control system for museums and galleries, although there are many valid uses for Nodel outside of this scope where device control, monitoring, and scheduling is required. It was originally developed by Lumicom as commissioned by Museums Victoria in response to a 2010 review and subsequent white paper in to …
For a university group project involving IoT sensors I had the requirement of creating a graphical interface that helps send various commands via a serial port, and receive data on the same serial port from the same IoT sensors as a reply. Obviously this can be done fairly easily with command line programs such as …
