SPI DMA LED hacking

Controlling addressable LEDs with STM32 SPI + DMA

Overview

RGB5050 LEDs are programmed by sending a stream of 24-bit GRB packets, MSB first.

The logical 1s and 0s in the packets are encoded on a single line which is sent high or low with these timings:

  • 0 -> 0.3µs high ± 0.15µs, 0.9us low ± 0.15µs

Fix for InetAddress.getLocalHost on apple M1: Prevent hanging on inane DNS lookup

Fixing Ludicrous Java Localhost DNS Lookup on Mac

I recently started using the excellent adm wrapper for the android debug bridge.

I quickly noticed that my app was hanging on startup on an aarch_64 (Apple M1) machine.

Fortunately, vert.x, a dependency of adm, gave the following warning:

[vertx-blocked-thread-checker] WARN io.vertx.core.impl.BlockedThreadChecker - Thread Thread[vert.x-eventloop-thread-0,5,main] has been blocked for 4985 ms, time limit is 2000 ms

Illuminating one of two LEDs, depending on eTape level

// For me, 687 indicates three inches of water.

Create a proxy object class
# Answer to a ruby koan:
# http://koans.heroku.com/en/about_proxy_object_project
# Project: Create a Proxy Class
#
# In this assignment, create a proxy class (one is started for you
# below). You should be able to initialize the proxy object with any
# object. Any messages sent to the proxy object should be forwarded
# to the target object. As each message is sent, the proxy should
# record the name of the method send.
