Viewing them can be done in linux using EOG (Eye of GNOME) and the Panorama Viewer plugin by Andreas Eisenbarth. The images displayed in this post use a WP plugin as well. However, GSV (Google Street View) is likely the most simplest way to create scenes. Tools like Hugin and PTGui take time becuase they require inputting images, aligning, defining points, stitching,…
Finding a suitable and reliable power supply for a project seems trivial to most. The battery selection is typically one of the common types available at stores. However, if you have a project that needs to run on battery, that choice will influence its overall use. The first question to ask is, what are the components of the project. These can range from discrete components to boards or modules requiring varying supply voltages. As the number of components increase, so…
This post will be covering how to determine battery health using a number of methods. It will progress through each of these methods, highlighting some benefits and drawbacks. One of the easiest ways to test a battery is whether it will power a device or not. Using a voltmeter will provide how much potential is left in a battery. Although these methods are simple, they fail to provide how much life is left in the battery. This can be problem…
