To console ourselves after Englands World Cup dire effort, we thought we would take a break from developing our Loopy boards and decided to have a play with OpenCV. We have a few Raspberry Pi knocking around the office and Chris just happened to have an Xbox 360 Chat cam […]
Whilst patiently waiting for the Loopy hardware to come back from manufacturing, we decided to make a loopy promo video with a cool online animation creation site we found.
Have a look at the PowToon website, it is in beta at the moment but is pretty good.
Ethernet Rings Following on from my previous blog entry I will talk a little more about how we are able to create an Ethernet ring, and the options that we have to give us Ethernet Ring Protection. Since Token ring fell out of favour and Ethernet has become the defacto standard network used […]
At Roedan we specialise in embedded software and I was asked the other day why have you specialised? Surely software is software, right? So I thought I would elaborate a bit….. Well the obvious difference is the target environment, this is usually heavily resource constrained compared with a server or […]
With the ‘Internet of Things’ being talked about around the internet everyone wants to have their devices connected to something, somehow. We have been looking into a couple of projects recently, both internal and external, that require fast, secure and more importantly reliable connection to a network and out to […]
I have been investigating electromagnetic interference in industrial environments this week, we are trying to come up with a suitable solution for high speed wireless communications. To put the comms over an optical network would be the obvious solution, thereby getting no interference but optical is not very wireless, so […]
At Roedan we like the Raspberry Pi, we use them around the office to perform various tasks and to test out new ideas quickly. We are also starting to work on our own Raspberry Pi based projects both useful and some just for fun…
