Comment on Installing the Arduino Development Environment on LINUX by Aaron Birenboim

I wanted to take a look at the AVR binary image to see if my embedded version code made it to the AVR executable. Here’s how I did it:

avr-objcopy -I ihex /tmp/build5473499130791137642.tmp/tempPID.cpp.hex -O binary t.bin

I was able to run “strings” on this binary, and recover my secret embedded constants. Seems like this might be a good thing to keep in case you want to download an image of code loaded into an AVR, and compare it to the original.

Comment on Player Piano Roll Reader Project: Part 2 by David

Oh no…why did you stop? It’s funny…I dismantled a player piano last year (it could no longer be tuned), and I had exactly this though, did a quick search, and found your article. Are further instructions available anywhere?

Having some issues with global classes. Not sure what the issue is, but here are some collected suggestions.
* don’t call delay from startup(), it will hang
* don’t use non-null constructors. (I’m having trouble with constructors period)
**Arduino convention is a null constructor, with a begin() method called from startup
* new and delete are not fully supported. I’m not so sure there aren’t issues with malloc/free too. memory on AVR is different
* static variables in functions seemed problematic. Moved them to globals.

Comment on Swap Meet / Geek Fest November 19th by adric

Its really hard to say, there will likely be a fair bit of old Heathkit, stuff, a few ossilliscopes, solar lights, computer parts. books. gadgets, printers, optics, RC-toys, and alot of random electronics. And that jsut the stuff we are supplying, hare are a few photos from the last one, https://secure.flickr.com/search/?w=58068110@N00&q=yardsale

As for pricing, its hard to say, we are encouraging everyone to barter/trade price their own stuff. there may have been some $50 dollar items last yardsale but most were in the $1-$20 range.

Does anyone have a “wishlist” of things they hope to find?
Would anyone mind letting me know some of the items (& ~Prices?~).
    I have a friend who lives in Santa Fe, & Im hoping he will come give me a ride, but he is unsure if it would be worth the trip (I have said YES, of course it is but he would like to know what to expect when he gets there) Specifically he wants to know how much things will be going for. (He is not interested in 0.05 stuff )
Thanks,

I’d be interested, and I’ve been looking for an excuse to start showing up anyhow.

It’s been a long time since I did robotics work, though, so I’d probably need a refresher on stuff like soldering.
