Tweet Ik gebruik nu al enige tijd mijn MacBook Pro voor mijn dagelijkse werkzaamheden, stap voor stap ga ik steeds meer over van good old Windows naar Mac OSX. Vandaag heb ik voor mijn werk Microsoft Lync geïnstalleerd. Helaas liep ik hier tegen hetzelfde probleem aan als bij de Windows versie, namelijk dat mijn werkgeven nog geen Lync  compatible server gebruikt, maar ook hier is net als op het Microsoft Windows platform een weg omheen [...]

Tweet Ik ben nu net een keer te vaak op zoek geweest naar functies om WGS84 (4326) coordinaten te converteren naar Web Mercator (102100) en andersom. Daarom heb ik ze hieronder neergezet voor iedereen die ze ook vaker nodig heeft. De functies komen van ESRI: private void ToGeographic(ref double mercatorX_lon, ref double mercatorY_lat) { if (Math.Abs(mercatorX_lon) < 180 && Math.Abs(mercatorY_lat) < 90) return; if ((Math.Abs(mercatorX_lon) > 20037508.3427892) || (Math.Abs(mercatorY_lat) > 20037508.3427892)) return; double x = [...]

Tweet Zo en dan is het ineens zomaar weer een tijd geleden sinds mijn laatste bericht. Ik ben net zoals iedereen altijd zegt als je hem vraagt hoe het met hem gaat, druk, druk, druk.. Voor mijn werk ben ik de laatste tijd nogal druk geweest met een aantal applicatie die waren gemaakt in ASP.NET om te zetten naar Silverlight. Erg leuk! Verder ben ik al enige tijd bezig met het ontwikkelen van Apps voor [...]

Tweet While the new Lync Client brings a lot of new functionalities and a complete new look, it isn’t compatible with a OCS 2007 R2 environment. Another downside is that it can’t be installed together with Communicator 2007 on a single machine. When working on both 2007 R2 and Lync 2010 projects, this means the usage of VM’s or uninstall and re-installing a lot, two options which I don’t like personally. Out-of-the-box the client will [...]

Tweet To follow up on my previous post, the news is that I have successfully dumped all firmware parts of my camera. The bad news is that it didn’t work on my camera.

Tweet I recently bought a few of these camera’s: http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/ip-surveillance-camera-with-angle-control-and-motion-detection/ There not very good, but for that amount of money what can we expect! After installing the cams and playing a bit with them the natural urge to flash the latest firmware to a device came over me. I looked at the site of China Vasion, but could not find anything of a new firmware. A bit disappointed I search on google and found out [...]

Tweet I have created a one click firmware updater for the Netduino! The tool was initially build by forum user Randoom for the FEZ Devices. I took that code as my base and created the Netduino One Click installer. It detects a Netduino automatically and reads the currently installed firmware version, after that the tool will check on a remote site if there is a newer version of the firmware available (currently it is my [...]

Tweet   The mailman delivered a nice box today. In the box I found two nice little Panda’s! And a few USBizi144 chips! After I got the courage to try to solder the 144 pin beast onto the board, I was ready to go! I never soldered anything big like this, so fingers crossed! PCB Layout file, ready to go My two helpers, guarding my soldering iron All went pretty well, it is not absolutely [...]

Tweet I decided to take the ultimate challenge, at least for me, and that is that I am going to build a FEZ Domino from scratch, well not exactly from scratch, but anyway. I downloaded the schematics and PCB layout from the TinyCLR.com website. Next I went to my favorite PCB house Seeed Studio and ordered 10 PCB’s. I placed my order at the 14th of September, the boards where ready and shipped the 19th. [...]
