Hi all,

During my small semester break I managed to connect my Bumble-b chip to an analog-digital converter (ADC).

With this I can read voltage changes and send the information to the computer to plot live.

Here is a demonstration video:

How its all connected

Hi all,

A while ago, when I coded message alert plugins for pidgin and X-chat so each time I get a new message my bumble-b LED display would flash, so I thought I might release the code here for people to use.

Both plugins will execute a command of your choice when receiving a new message.

Thanks to Simo Mattila who wrote the base code for the pidgin plugin 🙂

  • Source code for the pidgin plugin
    • You will have to follow the README file and compile the plugin. Then place the created .so file in ~/.purple/plugins/ .
    • In the plugin menu there would be a configuration window to set the command.
  • Source code for the X-chat plugin
    • You will have to set the command inside the python file. Then copy it to ~/.xchat2/
    • The X-chat plugin also is able to return the name of the user that sent the message.

Here is a video of the X-chat plugin in action:

I hope to find more time to posts the things I am doing, but as usual, university takes up all my time. Stay tuned
