The Wiki for Robot Builders.
Very comprehensive collection of notes useful robotics. But caveat - I haven't quality controlled it. It looks good though.
Udev is the device manager for the Linux kernel. Udev dynamically creates or removes device node files at boot time in the /dev directory for all types...
Udev Rules are a nightmare. Usually you don't have to deal with them but if you do, prepare to go deep into bit snd byte land. I have various guides here to help.
The first real AI developer. Contribute to Pythagora-io/gpt-pilot development by creating an account on GitHub.
Interesting. There are more and more of these coming out. For now I doubt they work very well, in practice. However the trend is clear and they will get better and better. Are our jobs at risk? Only if we don’t learn how to use these tools to up our game. A graphic designer or photographer that…
Create web-based user interfaces with Python. The nice way. - zauberzeug/nicegui
Someone implemented a really nice simple GUI with this. I was impressed. I had not heard of it before and maybe neither had you.
This article reviews the core principles underpinning the global navigation satellite system (GNSS). It references some of the key terminology, outlines the main potential sources of error, and describes how the application of RTK DGPS techniques can mitigate these errors to a large extent.
A super comprehensive introduction to GPS, with more detail than I have seen elsewhere. Also based on the second paragraph it seems to be quite up to date (2023)
Usually when people say that a topic is confusing when I think it’s not, the reason is that there’s actually some hidden complexity that I wasn’t considering. And after some follow up conversations, it turned out that HEAD actually was a bit more complicated than I’d appreciated!
Julia Evans continues with her tour the force in depth explainers about how git actually works.
Recently I needed to run millions of API calls to an internal service. API calls are IO blocking. This means that when my service calls the…
A great step by step introduction to ASYNCIO in Python for cleaner concurrency and synchronization.
This is one of my favorite, super-simple, guides to creating nice designs. These elementary rules-of thumb go a long way to making professional looking designs - or just avoiding the most obvious design mistakes. And of course, because design is subjective, you may have very different opinions.
Nice article but I disagree with the conclusion. I have found that you need to combine the two and go back and forth. There is no single way. By the way, notice that if you believe in TDD, that approach generally starts bottom up (UNITs are at the bottom.) so whatever design comes out of that…
A framework for rapid development and deployment of production-ready RAG systems - SciPhi-AI/R2R
I’m not recommending this as I have not tried it. But it could be something useful for my project and yours.
More than you ever wanted to know about how the PiCamera works. As usual, things are more complex than you expect when you get into them!
Very useful tool to work with camera parameters. I don’t even know what v4l2 is, but all kinds of camera parameters can be displayed and changed.
Really Important package to allow you to calibrate the camera. It is here because I lost it for a while (forgot the name) and now I found it again!
Downloadable textbook about Mining of Massive Datasets by Jure Leskovec, Anand Rajaraman, Jeff Ullman.
Rails debugging dev tools for faster development. Inspect your request details (queries, logs, cache, jobs and more).
This is super useful for rails apps. Will it work for other frameworks like Sinatra? I haven’t tried this yet but it looks promising.
ROS opencv camera driver that uses cv::VideoCapture - OTL/cv_camera
Ok this is also for me to remember important links! Here is the source code for the opencv ROS support for the camera. I now prefer it over Raspicam.
Open Source Scheduling: Send a link and meet or build an entire marketplace for humans to connect.
This looks quite interesting. I’ve been using calendly extensively for a few years. But it is kind of expensive. Is this a viable alternative?
A small set of Python functions to draw pretty maps from OpenStreetMap data. Based on osmnx, matplotlib and shapely libraries. - GitHub - marceloprates/prettymaps: A small set of Python functions t...
Honestly this looks pretty awesome! Haven’t tried it yet.
I know it seems that all I am doing these days is noting servo easing equations!
A visual and simple explanation of the calculations for easing. I am not sure but I think some of this is over complicated. I mean I don't know that we need so many variations. In any event, it is much easier to follow because they pull out the bit that is needed.
