A blog about my coding adventures
Streaming is not a new concept. It has been a very common requirement in programming. However it is normally under appreciated and not discussed as frequently as it should. I was watching the movie “source code” (2011) then it suddenly clicked me and I was able to connect the dots. Although the movie was about … Read more
Welcome to the future. Life is good, but it can be better. And why shouldn’t it be? All you need is to want it. Think about finally having everything you always wanted. Max Lord (Wonder Woman 1984) I won’t say that I thought of Node.js when I first hear Max Lord saying those words in … Read more
Socket.io is an open-source JavaScript framework which is available as a Node package. It is based on WebSockets technology. Socket.io enables real-time, bi-directional, event based communication. JSON format is used for data communication Features Reliability: Socket.io is designed to work on every platform whether it is mobile or desktop. Speed: It is fast. Simple API: … Read more
I like the light-weight programming model of Node.js. I also have great interest in IoT and I have written several posts on that topic as well. In this post, I am going to combine both i.e. IoT device with Node and you will see how natural this binding is. The Internet of things is filled … Read more
In this post I will share with you a very basic development environment setup which is very useful if you just quickly want to evaluate some functionality. Same time this has a good foundation and can be extended once you are done with the initial testing. Angular and React are now a days default choice … Read more
Any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript. Atwood’S LAW In this blog post I will give a very light introduction to Node. There are tons of tutorials out there on the internet about Node, however, I wanted to have a very clear and to the point reference to … Read more
Continuing from my previous post on sensors, in this post, I will write about how to do analog-read from Arduino. We will use a photo-cell (also called photo-resistor, LDR etc) for our demo purposes. The photo cell detects the light level, We will use it to measure light intensity using an Analog Input (Arduino) and … Read more
In one of my previous post I briefly talked about sensors and their importance and usage in IoT scenarios. In this post I will write about different type of sensors, their capabilities and usage. Electronic components are discrete device that somehow modify the behavior of an electronic system. Sensors are simply systems of electronic components … Read more
If you open power-shell it will by default show you the full directory path on the prompt and sometimes it take up a whole lot of screen real estate. Following picture shows when I use powershell for git commands. Notice the long directory path in prompt before the command: I find it very annoying when … Read more
I have previously written about device landscape and IoT. I also mentioned briefly Arduino in that post. I am not going to discuss its hardware architecture, and other theory behind it, more than it is needed. In the reference section you will find links you can check if you are new to arduino or want … Read more
