Scope, Shains, & Closure
I enjoy learning. Everything.
The internet has made learning about computers possible for me. Sharing that enthusiasm could be classed as “teaching” but teaching and learning are intrinsically coupled.

“Fortunately, the complexity of the Iridium air interface should make the challenge of developing an Iridium L-Band monitoring system very difficult and probably beyond the reach of all but the most determined adversaries” - Iridium LLC

Teensy and the RF1101SE
Driving the RF1101SE-v3.1 with a Teensy microcontroller
This week I spent a couple of days fighting with, testing, and then finally releasing some working code that drives a Texas Instruments CC1101 based board with the fabulous Teensy from PJRC. I also include some code to configure Michael Ossmann’s Yard Stick One which has become an indespensible device for working with packet-based radios.

A brief introduction to the Internet of Things
I had a lot of fun giving a 45 min talk in a 15min time slot to a diverse room full of lovely geeks.
Part motivational, part instructional. Aimed at inspiring programmers to start playing with hardware.
I titled it “A brief introduction to the Internet of Things”

WBFM Transmit with HackRF & GNURadio
Radio transmissions with HackRF
Today I was transmitting a ‘Wide Band Frequency Modulation’ (WBFM) encoded radio in a carrier wave with Michael Ossmann’s Software Defined Radio (SDR) peripheral, HackRF.
I leave my experience here as breadcrumbs for others who follow in the path of learning Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

For the last three years I’ve been based in Amsterdam as Team Leader of Greenpeace International’s Local Information Technology team. Stretching the boundaries and ideas around what a technology team could & should be in a modern organisation.

On Saturday May 23rd I had the opportunity to be part of International NodeSchool Day, attending as a mentor.
As my first outing to meet other programmers in Vancouver it was a great success.
More importantly it was a chance to teach.

The act of programming in a spirit of playfulness and exploration is termed hacking.
