    It has been about a year, time for an updated picture, but I couldn’t stop at one. Here is one serious and one goofy.

  • Old business cards make great bookmarks. But if you run out of old business cards, it hardly costs anything to custom print business cards specifically for use as bookmarks.

    Egg Decorating Bot

    I started this project in 2017. My original goals were: Don’t use a 3d printer or laser cutter. Build the frame out of foam core. As you can see in the thumbnail, I gave up on the foam core, but I stuck it out on the no 3D printing or laser cutting, just to prove […]

  • Running Raspbian in image on Ubuntu desktop

    While the title says Raspbian on Ubuntu, the steps will be nearly the same for any ARM linux distribution on any AMD64 Linux desktop. For me, and I suspect most people, what combination is likely to equal Raspbian on Ubuntu. Download and extract your Raspbian image. In this case I will be using Raspbian Lite […]

  • Dynamic Wireless Network Name (SSID) on Raspberry Pi hotspot

    This mostly for any Linux system using systemd, albeit the make_ssid.sh script will need adjusted for where you want to get the ID from. In the example, it uses the Raspberry Pi’s serial number. Mac address could be another good source to use. [gist 1243b0dc3bc64927a6e8332860f707d0 /]

  • Kivy on Raspbian using EGL without installing X11

    This is aimed more at using the Raspberry Pi with a touch screen for embedded uses, and is not relevant to using it in the Raspbian desktop environment. Unfortunately, it seems that to just pip install kivy appears to work, but then when you run an example, it complains about missing libraries, and installing those […]

  • Substance Designer SBSPRS/SBSAR file format notes

    I have never used Substance Designer, so I’m basing this off of looking at example files. The SBSPRS files are XML that appear to specify the list and type of parameters used in the SBSAR substance. The SBSAR file is just a 7-zip file. It expands to: ./assemblies ./assemblies/content ./assemblies/content/0000 ./assemblies/content/0000/icon1234567890.png ./assemblies/content/0000/Example.xml ./assemblies/content/0000/Example.sbsasm The Example.xml […]
