This is the third and final step of producing a GEMMA bracelet which can have its LED pattern programmed using an NFC capable phone. In the previous 2 stages, I talked about putting together the hardware and producing an app which would communicate with…

It's been a while since I last posted - I've had a lot of work to do with uni, but now I can continue writing this project up, and I hope you enjoy reading some more on it and hopefully learning. Last time I wrote about soldering together the hardware…

Recently I embarked on a new project: creating a bracelet of LEDs. But not just any old bracelet. This one has the ability to be changed using a mobile phone, using a technology I've written about in the past called NFC. Essentially the idea of this bracelet…

In the previous post , we decided to start making a floor piano using a FLORA and some other bits. Here we're going to improve on the code and make it more permanent! Step 3: improving the code Before we go any further into making the sensors a permanent…

This month I started working on a new project I'm naming Flor(a) piano. I don't know about older generations, but part of my childhood was dancing around on one of these: Also known as a child's floor piano. When I saw a couple of tutorials on Adafruit…

As a Raspberry Pi hacker, one of the first things I looked at for my RIOTBoard was VNC, or Virtual Network Computing. Basically, the principle of VNC is to let you use one set of peripherals for multiple computers/microcomputers, with the extra computers…

I'll preface this by saying that I'm not an Android, nor a Java developer, nor am I a fan of either, particularly not after having written this app, and therefore, it's probably quite messy. Now that we've got that out of the way, one application of the…

Vergangene Woche habe ich erläutert, wie Sie eine Web-API mit Windows Azure, ASP.Net und C# erstellen können. Diese Woche verbinden wir das Ganze mit unserer ursprünglichen Pi Passport Klassifizierung. Da unser System in verschiedene Ebenen unterteilt…

Links zu vorherigen Tutorials: Eins , Zwei , Drei und Vier . In meinem vorigen Blogeinträgen haben wir Pi Passport Maschinen als eigenständige Systeme erstellt – sämtliche Daten zum Benutzer sowie alle Aktivitäten werden auf dem Pi gespeichert. Wenn Sie…

Links zu vorherigen Tutorials: Eins , Zwei und Drei . Im letzten Beitrag zu unserem PiPassport Projekt haben wir gemeinsam eine Klassifizierung für NFCs erstellt, mit denen wir einzelne Benutzereinträge sowie auch Aktivitäten an verschiedenen Stationen…

A few weeks back I was given the RIoTboard to play with. This is another single board computer with some fun stuff on it - Ethernet, USB, Camera interface, GPIO expansion including I2C, 2 onboard LEDs...yadayadayada. The operating system initially on…

Last week I wrote about creating a web API using Windows Azure, ASP.Net and C#. This week we're going to plug this into our original pi passport class: as we have a layered system, this should be as simple as changing the data layer. To recap, 2 weeks…

Links zu vorherigen Tutorials: Projektvorstellun , Die Einrichtung der NFC Hier geht es zum ersten Eintrag „Projektvorstellung“ und zum zweiten Eintrag „Das NXP NFC-Explorer-Board in der Praxis.“ In meinem vorigen Blogeintrag bin ich bereits darauf eingegangen…

Siehe erster Beitrag : Projektvorstellun Ich zeige Ihnen jetzt, wie Sie das NFC wirklich kinderleicht einrichten können. Der Einfachheit halber kommt hierbei Python zum Einsatz. Voraussetzung hierfür ist, dass Sie wissen, wie Sie Ihren Pi einrichten können…

Ich habe vor Kurzem mit einem neuen Projekt begonnen, das sich Pi Passport nennt. Natürlich möchte ich die Lorbeeren hierfür nicht für mich alleine beanspruchen. Nachdem ich mir die Grundzüge dieses Projekts überlegt hatte, nahm das Vorhaben nach einer…

Previous tutorial links: one , two , three and four . In the previous steps we covered creating Pi Passport machines as standalone systems – all data about the user, and the achievements, is stored on the pi itself. This is fine if you don’t want it to…

Previous tutorial links: one , two and three . In the last section of the PiPassport project we covered building a class with functionality for saving and loading people's NFC entries, and saving and loading what achievements they could pick up at each…

See the first post: project introduction Here I'm going to go through really simple set up with NFC, which I promise is dead quick, using Python as it's simplest. This assumes you know how to set your pi up, and have it all ready for putting code onto…

I started on a new project recently, I'm naming Pi Passport. To give some credit to relevant parties, this was an idea I partially came up with - after a long twitter conversation with Craig and Ryan, we came up with the full idea: Pi passport is intended…

See the first post: project introduction and the second: using the NXP NFC explorer board. Previously on this project I explained the topic, and how to get going quickly with NXP. In this post I’m going to cover how to build a class around the NFC idea…
