Bob over at Ambient Sensors has shown how to use the 40mV-500mV LTC3108 boost converter being powered from a Peltier junction.

You can also find his open source design on Github.

History loaded to Github

Filed under: Hardware,Other Stuff,Python,Software,StackFoundry — Yann @ 9:39 pm

I’ve loaded a part of my back-catalog of software to github. Included into the transfer is:

  • an old Python application server (Cymbeline)
  • an audio player library (PyAudioPlay)
  • a project which combines the two (Shallot)
  • and even a very minimal NTP replacement (SNTS)

Note that this software is from the 2004 vintage, which reflects a previous era (before Git, before the end of college, etc). It was languishing on the StackFoundry website prior to its overhaul; I also couldn’t simply throw it away.

Also loaded onto github are slightly newer projects, such as:

  • the static site generator qsgen
  • a movie file browser (quick movie)
  • the ptee process/subshell tee augmentation
  • and finally an X11 keyboard wedge program for barcode readers (softwedge).

Most of the previous pages at StackFoundry now redirect to the appropriate github page.

Enjoy!
