Project mention: ThingsBoard Microservices Installation Update Problem | /r/ThingsBoard | 2023-11-29Until recently I was still using TB v3.2.1, now I've set about updating the installation to the latest version. I proceeded as described at https://github.com/thingsboard/thingsboard/tree/master/docker:
Microsoft also has similar courses on IoT, and Data Science. I found the IoT one really nice [0], and it covers a lot of ground.

Project mention: Ask HN: Are there any open source forks of nomad smd consul? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-02> I think etcd is basically a k8s only project now
I hate etcd with the best of them, but etcd is used in a lot more places than just kubernetes:
https://github.com/apache/apisix/blob/master/docs/en/latest/...
https://github.com/traefik/traefik#:~:text=Etcd,
https://github.com/zalando/patroni#patroni-a-template-for-po...
https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/tree/0.0.26/etcd (this one shows up on HN quite a bit)
https://github.com/sorintlab/stolon#features
It's actually one of the major reasons I wouldn't touch those projects
If your data lacks uniform time intervals between consecutive entries, QuestDB offers a solution by allowing you to sample your data. After that, MindsDB facilitates creating, training, and deploying your time-series models.
EMQX (optional): Open-source MQTT broker for IoT, IIoT, and connected vehicles. Used for managing your toys.
Project mention: Cylon: JavaScript framework for robotics, drones, and the Internet of Things | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-04What are the pros and cons of this compared to Johnny-Five?
http://johnny-five.io/
I've found myself at this webpage multiple times while trying to minimize the complexity of APIs in my C projects.
My conclusion for now is that C coroutines are something to be left to the implementer. For example: Mongoose (https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose) uses event callbacks to deal with asynchronousness. It is much more pleasant to wrap a library like this in whatever thread/task primitives your system has rather than try to integrate the mythical cross-platform c couroutine.
>> or somewhat expensive and complex SDR
I don’t think that’s as accurate today as it used to be.
On the hardware side there are tons of options very cheaply available - iirc the flipper uses the c1100 (or a number like that) it’s a popular cheap chip and it’s well documented and interfaces easily with arduino.
More accessibly, lime mini SDRs are cheap but there’s quite a few alternatives too.
On the software side GNU Radio is free with decent tutorials - we’re not talking anything like blender levels of difficulty to adopt even if it is a complex domain.
Although on the more accessible side, urh is incredibly powerful given how easy to use it is https://github.com/jopohl/urh
I used the latter to tap into a 2 channel wireless bbq thermometer via a $10 rtl sdr and that was a breeze, an absolute walk in the park compared to when I reverse engineered the flysky telemetry system.
Hey folks. Anyone out there waiting for BT Auracast? It was announced June 2022, and immediately struck me as must have.
I lost my earbuds, but it seems ridiculous to get a replacement without Auracast, seems like surely if I'm going to make a decent sized purchase like that it needs to support group playing. I want to tune into the radios of other people on the metro or on the bus, want to be able to watch a movie on the plane with someone.
Auracast was announced in June 2022. Anyone else out there struggling with expectations here? I'm really hoping the product announcement season that's right around the corner had a good number of Auracast announcements.
Side note, a ton of it is over my head but it's been so so fun tuning in every once and again to see how Zephyr's Bluetooth Audio work is going. Just wild now much has gone into this! https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/commits/main/subsys/bluetooth/audio
Project mention: Cylon: JavaScript framework for robotics, drones, and the Internet of Things | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-04I can’t speak directly for deadprogram and the status of his projects, but I know much of his activity of late has been working in this same space, but in Go:
* Gobot (https://gobot.io/)
Project mention: You get what you Measure: Understanding your applications health with Grafana, Loki and Prometheus | dev.to | 2024-04-24If you want hands-on practice you should have a running Kubernetes cluster (I used MicroK8s for this tutorial) and Helm (see how to install on Installing Helm tutorial). It is important that you understand the basics of these tools to fully understand.
For the ESP32, an hero is in the process of adding LVGL to ESPHome. You can try it out now: https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/6363
Here's the (very good!) preview documentation: https://deploy-preview-3678--esphome.netlify.app/components/...
This is such a game-changer for me that I'll be using the ESP32 over the ESP8266 for any projects involving displays from now on.
Sorry about that! I should have checked before sharing that link.
It looks like Microsoft published the code on GitHub, so you might be able to deploy it via Azure. (I haven't tried it.)

Project mention: Help Needed with Tauri Desktop App for NFC Card Enrollment on ESP32 | /r/tauri | 2023-08-26For the ESP32 in read mode, we've successfully developed a project using PlatformIO that accepts the key during build time and stores it in memory.
