Stuff I need
December 2, 2014I know, I write this blog so people can read it. But then I hope only my husband reads it. Which he does but usually only after I’ve told him about whatever I wrote.
Anyway, I find myself going to the same pages a lot. I figure I can reduce my tabs by putting a few links here:
- MicroView pinout (and other stuff)
- Codebender web compiler
- Wordnik list of Erin McKean’s favorite words
- MicroPong code from Shane Lynch
- Magic 8 Ball on wiki
- MMA8451 Accelerometer datasheet
- MMA8451 Application notes
- MOAH (oh, wait, that’s not related, that is just an open tab)
Yeah, I’m still working on my little ring. With a tap, it gives a word. Another tap, the definition. With a double tap, it starts pong (you tilt your hand to move the paddle). Another double tap (or win/lose), pong ends.
Today I hope to use the motion thresholds on the MMA8451 to detect when you turn your hand upside-down and shake (ahem, ask me a question!). I’ve already got the answer strings in there and I’m using 27166 bytes, out of 32k. Though I’m down to 100 words (instead of the 200 I started with).
Better get to work now that I can close some of these tabs.
