BitReader – An arduino library for reading & writing data as chunks of bits

210 views Leave a comment

Introduction

Here is another arduino library that I have written.

As a desktop developer, I am not used to have memory (or even CPU) requirements as most developers will not look at memory consumption as an arduino developer would. Memory & CPU is cheap. If your application is struggling to run on today’s computer, it will run smoothly in 1-2 years.

As most arduino developers have faced, the amount of memory available on embedded devices is pretty limited. Having a way to save bits or our precious memory is interesting.

BitReader is an arduino library that allows one to read or write data as chunks of bits.

Demystifying RC Transmitter Mixing

Introduction

If you look on the internet for “mixing”, you will usually find posts and articles of people asking for things like “what is the best mix I should use for this or that” which I think is not helpful. I think it is far more helpful to actually understand what mixing is and how it can help you improve your skills as a pilot. Lately I wanted to understand how mixing could help me in a personal project. I took this opportunity to learn something new and try to demystifying RC Transmitter Mixing.

Maintenance of Hobbico TorqMaster 90 deluxe 12 Volt RC starter

This article is about how I did the maintenance on my Hobbico Torqmaster 90 deluxe which is a 12 Volt starter for remote controlled (RC) aircraft. I wanted to change the rubber nose to get a better grip on my Avistar Elite spinner. I ended up disassembling the whole unit before understanding what I should have done.

Visualiser la rotation de la terre en vidéo

Je caresse depuis longtemps l’idée de faire des photos du ciel et des étoiles. J’ai récemment réussi à faire de bonnes photos du ciel de Mont-Tremblant. Par contre, je me suis vite rendu compte que la rotation de la terre était vraiment apparente dans chacune de mes photographies. Plutôt qu’essayer de la combattre, j’ai essayé de mieux la faire ressortir.
