See getting started with Raspberry Pi Pico. This walks you through installing Thonny, an editor that supports interacting with MicroPython running on the Pico. The board already has MicroPython installed on it, so you can skip that step.
This is an appendix item for Unicode Input Terminal.
With gcc, the linker can can happily create an object file from arbitrary input files. This is useful for embedding images, fonts, etc into firmware. Full CMake code at the end, but the important parts are:
# Create object file

Protoype code to pre-render 240x240 screens, each with a glyph and codepoint metadata.

Find all of the Unicode codepoints a font can represent and renders them to invidiaul image files. Note the output directory is hard-coded to /tmp/rendered.
cargo run <font-file, ...>
This script is for writing to LTO tape on Linux with tar and producing a plain text index file. It uses a large memory buffer to keep the destination tape drive fed when the source drive can't consistently match the tape's write speed (eg. when there are a mix of small and large files).
This was written for a small, manually managed tape collection. It writes tape index information and tar listings as text to a file. This file can be stored separately, searched easily, and appended to the end of the tape if you want your tapes to be self-describing:
| # Move workspace left and right (swap if conflicting) | |
| bindsym $mod+Ctrl+Shift+Left exec $HOME/.i3/i3-swap.py left | |
| bindsym $mod+Ctrl+Shift+Right exec $HOME/.i3/i3-swap.py right | |
| # Make the next free workspace number, whatever that is | |
| bindsym $mod+Ctrl+Return exec $HOME/.i3/i3-makews.py | |
| # Rotate focus through visible workspaces on different monitors | |
| bindsym $mod+x exec $HOME/.i3/i3-nextoutput.py |
Switches mains power on for speakers while an audio signal is detected, and times out after a period of silence. Uses the AVR ATTiny13a and a couple of op-amps.
Mains switching is achieved by emulating a MS-6147-RC 433.92 MHz remote control with firmware and a simple simple on-off-keying (OOK) transmit module.
This solves two problems for me:
| #!/bin/bash | |
| # Hide the decorations of a window. | |
| # Defaults to hiding the focused window's decorations. | |
| # Pass -m to use the mouse to select the target window. | |
| # Get the focused window's ID | |
| ID_OPTION="-id $(xdotool getwindowfocus)" | |
| while getopts 'm' flag; do |
| # Open a new kitty terminal window on MacOS | |

| # 1. Copy this script into AppleScript Editor and save it somewhere | |
| # 2. Use something like Apptivate to run the script on a global hotkey: | |
| # http://www.apptivateapp.com/ | |
| # | |
| # Note this script doesn't work well as a Service through Automator as the | |
| # "click menu" functionality requires accessibility privileges granted. | |
| # Services run as the focused app, so that setup would require every context | |
| # the shortcut is run from to have accessibility granted. |
These are some ffmpeg command lines used when developing VHS dubbing controller.
