Displaying tracks with QGIS

Pascal Bodin — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 09:15:33 +0000

In order to test some location data generated by an embedded application I’m developing for one of my clients, I need to plot tracks on a map. I already used QGIS 10 years ago, and I have kept in mind that it was supporting Python scripting. This could accelerate my tests a lot. So, let’s …

STM32CubeIDE – replace spaces by tabs

Pascal Bodin — Wed, 07 Aug 2019 08:46:49 +0000

I wanted to configure STM32CubeIDE so that it replaces tab character by spaces, when editing source code. Easy, once one knows where to look: select Window > Preferences select C/C++ > Code Style > Formatter create a new profile, based on the profile you prefer in the Indentation tab, select Spaces only for Tab policy …

Client / server with UDP in Go

Pascal Bodin — Sat, 08 Dec 2018 10:11:54 +0000

I have to integrate some Go applications into a distributed validation environment that I’m currently developing. These applications use UDP to exchange messages. I’m well experienced in message-based communication, for several different types of transport layers (wireless, wired, half duplex, full duplex…) but never got the opportunity to use the UDP/IP stack until today. So …

A list of IoT platforms

Pascal Bodin — Sun, 28 Oct 2018 08:42:34 +0000

Updated: 15-Oct-2023 A word of caution: platform can have different meanings in the list below. It can be a software development framework, a software application providing communication (and possibly management and storage) services, a hosted application providing those services, etc. But the common point between all the items in the list is at least some technical …
