// Arduino serial-interface for controlling the ws2812 leds. The serial interface is based on the
// Adalight protocol. The protocol is as follows:
// [prefix][led count][checksum][red, green, blue]*
// prefix    := 'Ada'
// led count := number of leds - 1  (uint16_t big endian)
// checksum  := led count high bit XOR led count low bit XOR 0x55 (uint8_t)
// red, green, blue := channel intensity [0-255] (uint8_t)
//

// Slightly modified Adalight protocol implementation that uses FastLED
// library (http://fastled.io) for driving WS2811/WS2812 led stripe
// Was tested only with Prismatik software from Lightpack project

#include "FastLED.h"

#define NUM_LEDS 114 // Max LED count
#define LED_PIN 6 // arduino output pin
#define GROUND_PIN 10
#define BRIGHTNESS 255 // maximum brightness

LIRC patch instruction/how-to for USB Infrared Toy from Dangerous Prototypes

This is a instruction to patch the usb infrared toy driver into lirc sources. Most of the work is done by Peter Kooiman

Requirements

• Debian based OS (only tested on rapbian)
• root privileges
• USB Infrared Toy

Description

Dashing job to subscribe to MQTT messages.

MQTT is a lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport. This job allows Dashing to subscribe to these messages and send them as events. There is no associated widget as the data can take any form - commonly numbers, but not necessarily. The script as laid out below sends events with value, current (the same contents) and last values so can be plugged directly into the Numbers or Meter widgets using the data-id in the dashboard file. The send_event could easily be modified if required.

Set up

Add to Gemfile:

Instructions

The files are made for systems with systemd. The instructions are written with Ubuntu 16.04 in mind. Your file locations may vary.

Installation

1. Become root
2. Create the service files in lib/systemd/system
3. Change <user> in the Sonarr service file to the approriate user.

1. Download and boot from a Debian live CD: https://www.debian.org/CD/live/
2. Login with user:live
3. Setup and mount disks at /mnt. Arch Linux has a good guide to this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Partitioning

4. Install and run debootstrap

   • sudo apt-get install debootstrap
   • Replace RELEASE below with the name of the release you want to install, like ``jessie`` or ``vivid``
   • Debian: sudo debootstrap RELEASE /mnt http://ftp.debian.org/debian
   • (If Ubuntu) sudo apt-get install ubuntu-archive-keyring
   • Ubuntu: sudo debootstrap RELEASE /mnt http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

5. Mount Filesystems:

Partition layout

First, create a GPT partition table.

1. boot partition, label: EFI, flags: boot + ESP; size: 1GB, format to FAT32;
2. root partition (label: root), must same size on all devices!
3. swap partition.
