  • @darkther4py I may give that a bash, I have all the parts except Piezo. I may wire it differently though, see how it goes! #
  • @darkther4py I'm testing @Arduino. Is a digital input meant to waver between HIGH/LOW when it's not connected? Just seems a bit odd. #

  • @nathangaskin Yea, you do… Although I can talk, got mine Tuesday! #
  • @IGN not likely! #

Go (F5) of Scite Lubuntu 12.04

April 28th, 2012 No comments

I’ve been trying to get Scite to execute my code when pressing F5 (normally a functional command). But alas, the pascal.preferences (yes, I was working with FPC) file included in the repository has a KDE command in it instead, so I replaced it with this…

command.go.*.pas=xterm -hold $(FileDir)/$(FileName)

This will open Xterm and execute your new script “holding” the terminal window open at the end (very useful for programs which run and then exit). But I felt this was not quite as useful as it could be because you still had to close the window manually (Alt+F4 or using the mouse) and for not having a scroll bar (or at least I couldn’t get Xterm to use a scroll bar). So I came up with the following combo of bash script and pascal.properties

command.go.*.pas=lxterminal -e scite-linker.sh $(FileDir)/$(FileName)

This line calls the script I created below (scite-linker.sh) which I put in /usr/bin and made executable using sudo chmod a+x scite-linker.sh.

#!/bin/bash
$1
echo
echo -e “\e[00;31m***Press a key to close this window***\e[00m”
read -n 1 keypress

So what he command does is run lxterminal executing my script, which in turn executes the program (in this situation, a Pascal program), then (when it has finished) it writes a blank line to screen and another line with the press any key message.

NB: The escape code in the echo command is to change the colour to red. You can simply use this instead…

echo “***Press any key to close window”

Hope you find this useful… It’s the first thing (with the exception of some annoying bugs, like USB socket stopping working) which hasn’t worked out of box in Lubuntu 12.04.

Startup Applications / Samba Shares Script in Windows XP / 7

April 26th, 2012 No comments

I previously wrote a post on how to create a script to execute applications (MSN Messenger, Skype & etc) on startup of Windows only if there is an active internet connection. This is because of the generally quite annoying feature of said applications to tell you you’re not connected, which is quite annoying on a laptop when you may not have an internet connection and know this.

You can see the original post here if you’re interested.

Anyhow, I’ve made a numbder of improvements since…

  1. Compatability with Windows 7 (and likely Vista but don’t have a Vista box).
  2. Works well with either WiFi or Wired, waits 15 seconds if first attempt fails.
  3. Added ability to mount network shares (Samba) on startup also if server is on. They’re non-persistent so they disapear at shutdown.
  4. Figured out how to make long file names work with start command.

@echo off

ping -n 1 www.google.co.uk
if %errorlevel% EQU 0 GOTO programs

REM For Windows XP, use sleep command. For Vista/7 use timeout command.
REM sleep 15
timeout /t 15 /nobreak

ping -n 1 www.google.co.uk
If %errorlevel% NEQ 0 GOTO shares

:programs
REM Double quotes before command are to keep filenames with spaces.
REM Would otherwise be the new cmd window’s title.
REM (kinda handy for command line apps, otherwise useless.)

echo Executing Internet Applications.
start “” “c:\Program Files (x86)\pidgin\pidgin.exe”
start “” “C:\Users\James Muirhead\AppData\Roaming\Dropbox\bin\Dropbox.exe”
start “” “c:\Program Files (x86)\twhirl\twhirl.exe”
start “” “c:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe”
start “” “c:\Program Files (x86)\xchat\xchat.exe”

:shares
REM Connection to local server samba shares.
REM Replace x.x.x.x with the IP address of local server.
ping -n 1 x.x.x.x
IF %errorlevel% NEQ 0 GOTO end

echo Adding local network shares.
net /persistent:no use p: \\x.x.x.x\Media
net /persistent:no use q: \\x.x.x.x\Documents

:end
exit.

I hope everyone finds this useful, I sure do. Oh, and remember to put a shortcut to this file in your startup, otherwise it won’t work.

Eject CD/DVD drive from command line / keyboard shortcut / start menu

April 26th, 2012 No comments

My laptop’s CD/DVD drive’s eject button is somewhat hard to find by touch and I’d have liked a more practacle way to eject it. After a bit of searching I came accross NirCmd by NirSoft, a great little command line tool which does a hell of a lot, but we’re going to focus on ejecting the CD/DVD drive today.

  1. Ok, so you’ll want to download NirCmd and unpack it somewhere sensible, like c:\Program Files\NirCmd.
  2. You’ll want to test your command, in my case it is, “%ProgramFiles%\nircmd\nircmd.exe cdrom open F:
  3. Once you’ve established it works, you can create a shortcut on your desktop (for now) containing the above line.
  4. To create a keyboard shortcut, create one in the “shortcut key” box while creating a shortcut. I used Ctrl+Alt+E.

To allow you to eject from the command line is quite simple, but you will need Administrator Priviledges to do it.

Download and test the command as above, then you need to create a .bat file and save it to your c:/windows (or similar folder). To do this, open up your editor of choise (I like ConTEXT, even has a portable version) and enter the following…

@echo off
“%ProgramFiles%\nircmd\nircmd.exe” cdrom open F:

NOTE: You will need to change the F: to whichever drive letter your CD/DVD drive is on.

Once you’ve created your file (saved as eject.bat), you’ll want to save it somewhere convenient, my documents will do. Then drag/copy it into your c:\windows folder (this is where you need admin).

From here, anytime you type eject (or whatever you named your file) it will eject the CD/DVD drive.

  • Started cleaning my room today. I'm beginning to be able to actually see the carpet!!! #
  • Ah, back to a phone which forem've fo off things! Plus, back to mobile internet! #
  • @NixiePixel I concur, was using it due to necessity the other day, it's still like watching paint dry. #
  • In Handmade Burger Co with @alupamountain and others. #

  • @ThePSF It's ok, I wasn't requesting an answer, merely saying the http://t.co/7MC3aa9q section on loops needs work. #
  • @youngproductz It's ok, I wasn't requesting an answer, merely saying the http://t.co/7MC3aa9q section on loops needs work. #
  • @ThePSF Yeh, when I looked into it a lot more, it made more sense, but it wasn't written up well on there. Doing MSU exercises I found now. #
  • @youngproductz It is less obvious in Python. In Pascal for example it's 'IF loop := 1 TO 255 DO'. Which is way more verbose. #
  • Got hold of Alice Madness Returns quite cheaply 2day & have been playing it consistently. Particularly when Broadband went down! #
  • I claimed a Raptr Reward: 35% off Logitech G-Series peripherals http://t.co/6HaIlKxJ #

  • I have finally bought (4 just £5.30) a UK layout USB keyboard for my laptops. No more trying to remember which button does what! #
  • @MaxScoville @taralongest @acarboni @dtoidshow Wear comedy rubber breasts so the trolls can't complain in the comments! #
  • Figured out today that I've got 4 legit copies of both Monkey Island 1&2. Shit, I must like those games! #
  • Having a lot of trouble designing a circuit with a JK Flip Flop. I'm only getting Micro-Amps from output in #Yenka Anyone got any ideas? #
  • Is it wrong that the most Satisfying part of my day was buying a new computer keyboard? #
  • Playing Fez. http://t.co/iPCTPrmj #
  • @NixiePixel Video games, tech, cameras & parts for projects. E.g. Electronics, kites, etc! #
  • @NixiePixel I like Melon! #

  • I think I might just be able to pay my Credit Card bill this month! Woot! #

  • @PatrickKul @maxscoville @ctz awesome! #
  • I finished Treasure Island, finally. I just kept distracting myself with Mass Effect 3 and stuff! #
  • @NixiePixel They can't make it that difficult to escape. It's hard enough to move streets in London as it is! #
  • Exhausted, so I'm watching Family Guy on Hulu… Thanks Free VPNs. #
  • I think we can safely say that my hayfever kicked in with a vengeance today! I feel truly fucking shit right now! #

  • @ThePSF Ok, deal, I'll work on one. I'm intent on working through http://t.co/wHGkrGIW as far as I can first. #
  • @ThePSF I feel though that I may be hindered since I came from Pascal not Object C so I'm not used to the usual C++ contractions. #
  • @ThePSF My main issues have been loops. It's not well described on http://t.co/wHGkrGIW Like, what does xrange do & what goes in brackets. #
  • Well, I'm the social butterfly! I've spent my Saturday night learning Python, playing Xenoblade Chronicles & now am going 2 bed with a book. #
