This post shows something really simple, but I decided to share it here as it took me some time to track down. On Saturday I received the 3D model of an ABB industrial robot – the IRB 6620 I mentioned last week – from Tom Eriksson. He's used a number of tools – including Fusion […]

Happy New Year! I hope that those of you who celebrate at this time of year, were able to take a nice, relaxing break. I certainly did. 🙂 Anyway, it's now time for me to ease back into work. But rather than it being an abrupt transition, I've decided to take a look at a […]

Most of this week I've been heads-down trying to finish a sample demonstrating the API that's coming for the new Autodesk 360 viewer (of which we saw a sneak peek in this recent post), so today I don't have much to talk about. The sample is pretty cool and involves my favourite car. But hopefully […]

Yesterday I presented a condensed sneak peek of my upcoming AU sessions on Kinect Fusion and Leap Motion to colleagues in the Neuchâtel office (I'll do the same at our office in Gümligen next week). It was good to make sure my various demos are working well in time for AU, as well as creating […]

After blinking LEDs with an Arduino Uno R3 and its younger step-sibling the Digispark, I decided to give the same treatment to their beef-cake second cousin, the Netduino Plus 2. James Maeding had been telling me to take a look at the Netduino for ages, so when I ordered some parts for my (optimistically speaking) […]

I talked about some of the fun I've been having with Arduino in this previous post. I eventually added a pushbutton and a potentiometer to that particular circuit, modifying the code to watch for a hardware interrupt – to blink the LEDs only when the button is pressed – but also to apply a variable […]

One of the ulterior motives (although you might really consider it a mere side benefit) for my recent trip back to the UK was to pick up the Christmas presents I'd bought for myself on behalf of my wife and kids. 🙂 The first – one of the new Raspberry Pi Model B's with 512 […]

I had a fantastic surprise at the beginning of the week: a friend from work – to whom I'd shown my retro-foolings with the Raspberry Pi – brought a plastic bag to my desk containing an original Sinclair ZX Spectrum and power supply. He had talked about my project to a friend of his back […]

Over the weekend, from Friday to Sunday, I spent far more hours than I'd have liked finishing off my AU Virtual class for this year, "Secure Your AutoCAD Environment" (I'm increasingly involved in security-related activities for the AutoCAD development organisation). Preparing material for AU Virtual is often pretty tough, whether it's being recorded in person […]

This is the final part of the series on creating a face-recognising security cam. We started by showing how to get motion detection working, and then followed with an initial overview and then posts on the separate Facebook-downloader tool and the onboard face detection component. In this post, we'll see how we managed to connect […]
