I then got the opportunity to buy a Leica M8 and was immediately hooked… Continue reading Pieca: A Raspberry Pi Camera System for Leica M Mount Lenses
In my quest to become more familiar with Docker I decided to create a container to run another wireless radio software called Kismet. Kismet is a wireless network and device detector, sniffer, wardriving tool, and WIDS (wireless intrusion detection) framework. Kismet works with Wi-Fi interfaces, Bluetooth interfaces, some SDR (software defined radio) hardware like the… Continue reading Creating a WiFi Monitor with a Kismet Docker Container
Portable projects require some kind of battery, but getting information on the voltage level or how much battery life you have left is a whole other problem. This can be solved by monitoring the voltage on the battery using an analog to digital converter, and then some firmware to read that digital value and produce… Continue reading Quick and Dirty ATTiny85 LiPO Battery Gauge
I have been using GNURadio since college, and even now just getting the software installed and working with your hardware radio can be a challenge.

Hobbyist and low-cost antenna design software have been usually limited to basic theoretical calculations based on ideal EM equations that could be done on the back of the hand. It is only recently that full EM simulation has drifted down to the masses in a semi-affordable way. CENOS Antenna Design software is one of the… Continue reading First Look at CENOS Antenna Design Software
What is Aerochrome film? It is an analog film stock that is sensitive to infrared light and uses false-color reversal to express infrared light as a visible color. Infrared (IR) light is invisible to the human eye but is all around us and be felt as heat. All objects in the universe emit some level… Continue reading Emulating Kodak Aerochrome Infrared Film with Python Image Processing
