Or, as one of my colleagues this morning said, firmware programming which in the literal sense of the word I suppose it is firmware.

I’ve decided as some of my twitter followers may already know to produce a library / framework for the teensy arduino which is available from subversion here: https://svn.blog.oneiroi.co.uk/branches/teensy/trunk/ under the GPL v3 license

At the time of writing I have worked through this tutorial on operating an RGB LED.

I’ve taken the examples an reworked them into a re-usable library incorporating a multitude of functions,

Being as I have all the parts to work through the full set of tutorials at pjrc, the library will be first updated to incorporate these examples, once complete I’ll be heading over to the HID programming aspect, and there will be a library for a plethora of “fun” applications ;-)

In one of those you don’t believe it until you have seen it moments not bad for a mac book pro with only a 350gb HD …

Changelog

TRAC tickets closed: #68 #61 #8 #56 #7 #60

Additionally added real time updates to the colour wheel and demo player when editing the hex code manually, updated flowplayer to version 3.1.5

This code is in final review in dev subversion, and will be pushed to the wordpress plugins SVN tomorrow time allowing.

Strangely I’ve had some people reporting issues with being prompted for a username and password when accessing files on svn.blog.oneiroi.co.uk

it would appear in mod_dav_svn-1.4.2-4.el5_3.1 that this directive: AuthzSVNNoAuthWhenAnonymousAllowed

now defaults to OFF, well that was a p.i.t.a trying to track down, having never seen that directive in ANY of the documentation …

Anyway pass this on to other facing the same issue.

The default install of VI is very basic, and being as I spend a lot of my time in there I find syntax highlighting invaluable, to get this however you will need the vim-enhanced package.

So run the following to install this package and setup an alias for vi.

yum install vim-enhanced
echo "alias vi='/usr/bin/vim'" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "syntax on" >> ~/.vimrc
alias vi='/usr/bin/vim'

And you’re done:
