Turning Jing SWF Screen Recordings into Video Files

Create a Folder Structure

This command will create an export folder that contains a separate subfolder for each SWF file's exported data. In the next step, JPEXS will be used create sounds and frames folders for each video and extract sound and frame files into their respective folders.

$ for f in `basename --suffix=.swf *swf`; do \
mkdir export/$f; \
done

My favorite software debouncers

Jack breaks out the real code for taming the recalcitrant but ubiquitous mechanical switch.

After last month's look at the Embedded Systems Conference we're back to the surprisingly deep subject of debouncing switch inputs. But first, a mea culpa for mixing up formulas in May's column ("Solving Switch Bounce Problems," May 2004, on pages 46 and 48). The first and second formulas were accidentally swapped. To see the corrected version, go to https://www.embedded.com/solving-switch-bounce-problems/.

Software debounce routines range from some quite simple approaches to sophisticated algorithms that handle multiple switches in parallel. Many developers create solutions without completely understanding the problem. Sure, contacts rebound against each other. But the environment itself can induce all sorts of short transients that mask themselves as switch transitions. Called EMI (electromagnetic interference), these bits of nastiness come from energy coupled into our circu
