One step further to becoming a tech diver. Tomorrow I’m taking the Nitrox course.

Unfortunatly the Baltic Sea is not deep enough in an acceptable distance so the course is ‘just’ theory.

ANT+ Between MSP430 and Android

“Smartphones are equipped with dizzying array of wireless communication capabilities.   Some of these features just go totally unnoticed. One such wireless communication protocol is called ANT+. A friend of mine wanted to make a working prototype of an idea he had using ANT+ technology. While there are other mcu’s (read atmega/arduino) already had some libraries and code written for communicating against ANT+, it wasn’t enough for me.

• Most of the existing code only worked as a slave, where it just tried to receive data sent by Garmin Heart Strap.
• This slave implementation was only on either arduino or PC (python and C)

What I was more interested in was to leverage the ANT+ radio to not just receive data, but also send data. I wanted the mcu to interact with the world and use ANT+ to transmit data to my cellphone, for example.”

“ANT™ is a proven protocol and silicon solution for ultra-low power practical wireless networking applications.  Designed for 2.4 GHz operation, ANT is perfectly suited for any kind of low data rate sensor network topologies in personal area networks (PANs) and practical wireless sensor networks (WSN).

ANT has been intentionally engineered to simplify practical wireless network development and optimize network efficiency.  ANT-powered network nodes can operate for years on a coin cell battery compared to months for other technologies.  Rich in capabilities, ANT provides reliable data communications, flexible and adaptive network  operation and cross-talk immunity. ”

Today was the first time I realized this technology. It’s definitly worth further investigation.

I’m really addicted to the products from Apple. The new member in the team is a 13,3″ Macbook Air with 256 GB SSD. The boot time speed is awesome.

Magnetic deviation is the error induced in a compass by local magnetic fields, which must be allowed for, along with magnetic declination, if accurate bearings are to be calculated.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_deviation

So it’s a good idea to hold the compass and the torch in different hands !

” From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The duck test is a humorous term for a form of inductive reasoning. This is its usual expression:

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

The test implies that a person can identify an unknown subject by observing that subject’s habitual characteristics. It is sometimes used to counter abstruse arguments that something is not what it appears to be.”

I’m starting many approaches to start reading more of my  books on an appropriate reading device. Unfortunately there wasn’t good hardware out there for me until now. I ordered the new Amazon Kindle for just 99 € and it’s really the eBook reader of choose in my personal opinion. It’s small, lightweight and had a nice price.

The iPad is too heavy and other hardware isn’t exactly what I want to have. The Kindle is still a must buy!

“Microsoft continues to innovate in vision-based interaction and software designed for touch. With the introduction of the next generation of Surface, using PixelSense technology, we’ll bring more tables and walls to life with amazing natural experiences for people to enjoy together,” said Panos Panay, general manager, Microsoft Surface. “We partnered with Samsung because of its strengths in LCD technology, hardware design and manufacturing, and worldwide marketing and sales of large-format displays. The companies have built an incredibly successful collaboration that moved from invention to development to manufacturing and sales of a high-quality, industrialized commercial product.”

“Samsung collaborated with Microsoft to bring the Surface experience to a new, thin design with powerful vision-based capabilities in the LCD market. The Samsung SUR40 for Microsoft Surface delivers an interactive experience not available anywhere else and will change the way companies engage with their customers,” said Jeong-Hwan Kim, senior vice president of Display Sales & Marketing team at Samsung Electronics.

Microsoft and Samsung worked closely to develop the LCD panel and the new hardware product, which is being manufactured by Samsung and will be sold to business customers through its broad distribution and reseller network.”

Product Details

Samsung SUR40 will bring companies around the world new ways to help drive sales, showcase their brand, and increase customer satisfaction and loyalty. The product features include these:

Definitely a must have gadget especially since Samsung joins the Team and the prive hopefully drops into an acceptable range. When the surface will be available and the price is still under the 3000 € / unit we’ll order 4 pieces for our conference rooms.

1. Löschen von Bildern mit einem Knopfdruck – und ein freundliches Aufblinken der Flüssigkristallanzeige – COOL!
2. Versiegelte 3-V-Uhrenbatterie braucht niemals ersetzt zu werden.
3. Das Boogie Board Tablett hat ein ultradünnes Profil (1/8 ″) und lässt sich leicht in Handtaschen, Planern, Aktentaschen oder Rucksäcken verstauen.
4. Gehäuse und LCD sind aus robusten Kunststoffmaterialien. Sicher für die Verwendung in der Schule und im Haus, Büro und Auto.
5. Die druckempfindliche LCD-Schreiboberfläche des Boogie Board Tabletts erzeugt Linien von unterschiedlicher Dicke je nach Druckanwendung – genau wie bei Papier und Bleistift!
6. Schreiben oder zeichnen Sie mit dem zugehörigen Edelstahlstylus oder anderen geeignete Instrumenten – auch mit dem Finger! Nie wieder nach einem Stift oder Bleistift suchen!
