UPDATE: Windows now has multi-slot clipboard built-in. It is great. The Inconvenience A very common issue while editing any text-based work is copying and pasting more than one string, eg. replacing one item while not overriding system clipboard and still perserve this one item for further use. So far, we solved this issues with: copy […]
UPDATE (29.12.2021): after a couple of weeks of testing, I can confirm that all he things covered in this project are now replaced (and even better) with VS Code Makefile tools plugin. Anyway, 3 years in a such rapid changing SW development world, I consider this project a success, even though closed. This is
Settings Menu: the Origin I was building a level meter for a water cistern based on Arduino and ultrasonic distance meters. Since I had no exact data about the cistern dimensions the meter had to support on-the-fly changing of parameters. I decided to use a display with a settings menu. Many devices need at least
About the List In the beginning, I had learned 3D modelling with Solidworks and it had been a mostly pleasant experience from the very beginning. Since early 2016, I’d been using Pro/ENGINEER Wildfile 5.0. I was shocked with the amount of bad design/bad decisions/bad programming one can include in a single program. Even when we
Here’s a quick tutorial on interFoam solver from the OpenFOAM toolbox. It demonstrates how much mess one makes when sneezing close to a bowl of soup. The Case Every time I sneeze during lunchtime my imagination runs wild with images of soup splattering all over the place. It wouldn’t be very polite to try it
Run-time postprocessing For pump performance calculation (and in many other cases as well), one usually needs data about pressure rise (head), flow, and power. If cavitation is an issue, maximum and minimum values for pressure come in handy, also maximum and minimum velocity can tell about convergence or numerical issues. All of these values are
variable: variableType = … The Problem I’ve recently switched job and I was “thrown” into a large project(s) based on Python. I had to implement only a few simple functions, but since I was/am a newbie there, this task wasn’t so easy. The problem was, that we use a giant custom “library” – numerous files,
There was a game called Labyrinth Ljubljana, and part of its technical solution was a Control Unit which controlled our custom made flashlights over RF link with cheap chinese module with nRF24L01+ onboard. We need to cover (one way: Control Unit -> Flashlights) an entire Labyrinth house (a stall actually), about 500 m2 in two floors
