javl/image2cpp | image2cpp is a simple tool to change images into byte arrays to use with (monochrome) displays suchs as OLEDs | #Coding #Arduino #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

image2cpp is a simple tool to change images into byte arrays to use with (monochrome) displays suchs as OLEDs, like those from Adafruit or Sparkfun.

 

While searching for a way to generate these arrays, I mostly found links to a piece of Windows software. Both the flakey results and the hassle of having to boot a virtual machine just to convert an image lead to me writing this pure html + javascript solution.

Alternatively you can also enter a byte array as input to turn it back into an image. This might be useful for debugging, or when you want to write the byte array yourself. I don't know.

Running the tool

You don't need any special dependencies / internet connection; all the necessary parts sit in a single .html file. So just open this index.html page in a (recent) browser to run the tool.

 

Or you can use the online version at:  

 

http://javl.github.io/image2cpp/

BTW: Above shown image is my "MAUSI", which was the "Mascot" for my Cyber-Security courses in Luxembourg EDUcation in 2003-2007. Those courses were mandatory for students up from 12 years old (7èmes).

Introduction
Let’s face it, there are a a lot of different Arduino boards out there. How do you decide which one you need for your project? In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at the diverse world of Arduino boards. We’ll begin with a tabular overview of the features each board has. Then we’ll delve deeper into each board, examining the pros, cons, and example use-cases.

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Or more simply, you load on some code and it can read sensors, perform actions based on inputs from buttons, control motors, and accept shields to further expand it’s capabilities. Really, you can do almost anything.

All Arduino boards have one thing in common: they are programmed through the Arduino IDE. This is the software that allows you to write and upload code. Beyond that, there can be a lot of differences. The number of inputs and outputs (how many sensors, LEDs, and buttons you can use on a single board), speed, operating voltage, and form factor are just a few of the variables. Some boards are designed to be embedded and have no programming interface (hardware) which you would need to buy separately. Some can run directly from a 3.7V battery, others need at least 5V. Check the chart on the next page to find the right Arduino for your project.

Gamasutra - Alt.Ctrl.GDC Showcase: Mark Wars | #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #LEARNingByDoing #Robots

Gamasutra - Alt.Ctrl.GDC Showcase: Mark Wars | #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #LEARNingByDoing #Robots | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

The 2018 Game Developer's Conference will feature an exhibition called Alt.Ctrl.GDC dedicated to games that use alternative control schemes and interactions. Gamasutra will be talking to the developers of each of the games that have been selected for the showcase. You can find all of the interviews here.

Mark Wars will have players drawing lines with markers in order to guide their ever-moving robot to a goal before their opponent can. However, as they take turns drawing lines, there is nothing stopping them from drawing a line that will mislead their opponent's robot, creating a constant sabotage between players as well.

Raspberry Pi's latest competitor RockPro64 brings more power plus AI processor | #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #Coding 

Raspberry Pi's latest competitor RockPro64 brings more power plus AI processor | #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #Coding  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Pine64 has released a budget-friendly single-board computer with the high-powered Rockchip RK3399 system on chip (SoC).

Available from around $60, the RockPro64 board comes in two flavors, either with the hexa-core RK3399 SoC or the RK3399Pro, Rockchip's first "artificial-intelligence processor". Unveiled at CES 2018, it combines a CPU, GPU, and neural-network processing unit (NPU).

As noted by CNX-Software, a number of RK3999-based boards have been released in the past week but, priced at around $200 each, they've been aimed at business customers rather than home developers.

The RockPro64 with 2GB of RAM will cost between $59 and $65 and will be available from March, while the RockPro64-AI will cost $99 but won't be available until August 1, according to Pine64.

Glad to see more affordable solutions for makers willing to push the envelope. This is a lot of tech for a decent price tag.

It's a chance for hobbyist to be able to tinker with neural networks, I could definitely use some additional brain power on weather data autonomously triggering relays for example :)

Visual programming language - Wikipedia | #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #Creativity #LEARNingByDoing 

Visual programming language - Wikipedia

In computing, a visual programming language ( VPL) is any programming language that lets users create programs by manipulating program elements graphically rather than by specifying them textually. A VPL allows programming with visual expressions, spatial arrangements of text and graphic symbols, used either as elements of syntax or secondary notation.

Visual Programming | Visuino Arduino tutorials - YouTube | #VideoTutorials #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #PracTICE 

In computing, a visual programming language (VPL) is any programming language that lets users create programs by manipulating program elements graphically rather than by specifying them textually.[1][2] A VPL allows programming with visual expressions, spatial arrangements of text and graphic symbols, used either as elements of syntax or secondary notation.

 

For example, many VPLs (known as dataflow or diagrammatic programming)[3] are based on the idea of "boxes and arrows", where boxes or other screen objects are treated as entities, connected by arrows, lines or arcs which represent relations.

LEGO: Roboterbausatz Boost im Test |  #Coding #Maker #MakerED #PracTICE #MakerSpaces 

LEGO: Roboterbausatz Boost im Test |  #Coding #Maker #MakerED #PracTICE #MakerSpaces  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Bisher waren Legos Roboterbausätze teuer und lockten mit ihrem Ingenieurs-Charme bestenfalls Erstsemester an. Boost soll nun auch die Jüngsten an das Programmieren heranführen.

Lust auf Lego? Das Set 17101 – Code-Name „Boost“ – hat einiges zu bieten. Herzstück ist der Move-Hub – ein per Bluetooth LE ansprechbarer Controller, an den sich bis zu zwei zusätzliche Aktoren/Sensoren anschließen lassen; er wird mit sechs AAA-Batterien bestückt. Zwei Motoren, ein Gyrosensor und eine RGB-LED sind im Move-Hub bereits integriert. Ein weiterer Motor und ein kombinierter Farb-/Entfernungssensor sind im Set enthalten. Der Move-Hub bildet die Basis für fünf spannende Grundmodelle vom klassischen Roboter über eine Technokatze bis zur Legofabrik. Die Modelle lassen sich per App in Bewegung setzen und programmieren.

Encapsulated javascript like Scratch can be useful to get the basics of coding - and it can also help operating a microcontroller.

It can sooth the transition to actual coding in the natural evolution of those who become frustrated by blocks' limitations and want to know more.

First Steps with the Arduino-UNO R3 | Maker, MakerED, Coding | Super Starter Kit UNO R3 Project | LCD and Sensors Project

First Steps with the Arduino-UNO R3 | Maker, MakerED, Coding | Super Starter Kit UNO R3 Project | LCD and Sensors Project | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

SO, as I got my new Super Starter Kit UNO R3 Project I am playing around a bit with it. In my previous post WE were wiring and testing a LCD-Display and coding to display a bit text on the LCD. That was actually very easy, so lets try out now some “Sensors“, e.g. a Temperature/Humidity Sensor and a Ultrasonic Sensor to measure distances. The measured values of those sensors will get displayed on the LCD-Display.
