Living Room / AI coprocessor for your Raspberry Pi
« on: April 30, 2023, 07:33 AM »
This from Google:

“The Coral USB Accelerator adds a Coral Edge TPU to your Linux, Mac, or Windows computer so you can accelerate your machine learning models. This page is your guide to get started.
All you need to do is download the Edge TPU runtime and PyCoral library. Then we'll show you how to run a TensorFlow Lite model on the Edge TPU.
To learn more about the hardware, see the USB Accelerator datasheet.”

General Software Discussion / Major software project redesign
« on: January 05, 2023, 09:57 AM »
Thought this might be of interest to the programmers here.

There’s an open source music notation program called MuseScore which competes with expensive commercial notation apps such as Sibelius and Notion. And, as is the case with many complex open source projects, the code base has gradually become more and more unmanageable up to the point of requiring a major design overhaul and rewrite due to the number of code contributors over the years.

This video by the project lead developer (who goes by the  name of Tantacrul) walks us through the design process that was employed to fix MuseScore for its latest release.

I think it’s a pretty interesting process he unpacks for us - and demonstrates a structured approach we can apply to our own programming efforts.



For those out there who are musicians, the latest version (4) of MuseScore has just been released. Available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. I’ve been using it (Windows version) for a bit now and it will definitely be replacing the commercial notation software I’ve previously been using. So…highly recommended.  :Thmbsup:

Living Room / Arduino anyone?
« on: April 29, 2022, 02:14 PM »
I’ve been into SBCs for awhile now. But I only just recently got into some Arduino programming and projects. And I’m pretty amazed at how easy these tiny and very inexpensive boards are to configure and use for various automation and similar projects compared to something like a Raspberry Pi - although a Pi pairs very well with an Arduino for more complex applications.

Anybody here an Arduino maven?

First semi-autonomous natural movement robot walking around in Tokyo.

Spooky stuff!  :tellme:

General Software Discussion / Not CPU, not GPU, but …DPU?
« on: October 04, 2020, 01:24 PM »
Found this video pretty interesting.

When I think back to my days in enterprise IT I can almost cry thinking about how much easier my life and work would have been with this hardware technology at hand. Oh yeah.



As an aside, this guy’s web channel is pretty cool if you’re a hardware geek. This TinyMiniMicro project of his is very similar to something I’ve been implementing for my home setup over the last few years:



I guess I miss my server room days after all. ;)
