Tilt Pan

First of all: I wish you a happy 2014! Lot of projects, lots of fun and everything will be good :) Here, I now need to put down every project I started and try to do minimal planning to have something cool to show ;) Today, let me show my little experiment on pan tilt feature. I plan to use it somehow with Gary but I had first to see what I can do. As it is...

Pig 5 - Golo Lcd

Once more, I’m back! Thanks to Golo Community my little tech issue was quickly solved. Below, you will find the Golo version of the previous posts. It’s even downloadable here To launch the golo samples, use the command: golo golo --classpath /opt/pi4j/lib/*.jar --files <your golo file> LcdSimple.golo : module PiG.gpio.LcdSimple # inspired by https://github.com/Pi4J/pi4j/blob/master/pi4j-example/src/main/java/LcdExample.java...

PiG 3 - LCD Use

Last time, I explained how to use you Pi to interact with a LED using Golo. Let’s see something a bit stronger. As I told you in my first Raspberry post, I bought a bunch of HD44780U LCD. Those little LCD can be controled in 2 modes: 4 or 8 bits. To minimize the number of GPIO pins used, I choosed the 4 bits mode. It uses only 6 pins to write to the...

Gary - Little 1

In those months, apart from kids and work, I started to play with a lot more electronics and robotics things. The first thing I’d like to show you is my mobile platform. Nice, isn’t it ? ;) As I wanted to dig a little deeper in robotics world, I needed 2 things: a long term goal, some dream project that I don’t know if it’s doable, no planning and such sub goals of...

Why Golo ?

As I only receive emails and no comments, I have to post some explanations here ;) When I first heard of Golo, I didn’t needed a new language. At least, I was satisfied with my daily use of Java or Groovy. Then a little twitt from Julien Ponge mentionned something coming, something that will be linked to the JVM, something called… Golo Because I already knew a little bit this crazy man who love explaining...
