TTiddlyWiki uses Wiki style markup, a way of lightly "tagging" plain text so it can be transformed into HTML. Edit this Tiddler to see samples.\n\n! Header Samples\n!Header 1\n!!Header 2\n!!!Header 3\n!!!!Header 4\n!!!!!Header 5\n\n! Unordered Lists:\n* Lists are where it's at\n* Just use an asterisk and you're set\n** To nest lists just add more asterisks...\n***...like this\n* The circle makes a great bullet because once you've printed a list you can mark off completed items\n* You can also nest mixed list types\n## Like this\n\n! Ordered Lists\n# Ordered lists are pretty neat too\n# If you're handy with HTML and CSS you could customize the [[numbering scheme|http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_list-style-type.asp]]\n## To nest, just add more octothorpes (pound signs)...\n### Like this\n* You can also\n** Mix list types\n*** like this\n# Pretty neat don't you think?\n\n! Tiddler links\nTo create a Tiddler link, just use mixed-case WikiWord, or use [[brackets]] for NonWikiWordLinks.

My Arduino Notes

[[HUMCTC Adult Swim]]\n[[overview]]

! Arduino Microprocessors are an important part of the open source movement.\n\nWhile my bandwidth for this is problematic, I need to pay attention to Robert L Cochran and \n[[Brian Riley | brianbr@wulfden.org]], particularly the goings on at his [[Wulfden | http://wulfden.org]] site.\n\nA copy of his email which I intend to convert into faq is below:\n\nRobert Sends this snippet as to get the Arduino Ide Running under Ubuntu:\n\nWith regard to running Arduino-0016 on Ubuntu, I spent a little time working on this\ntoday. Here is what I did.\n\n1. Downloaded the i386 (32-bit) CD of Ubuntu 9.04, the current release.\n\n2. Installed it as a virtual machine under Fedora 11, using the Fedora virtualization\ntools to do so. (This means I did not buy VMWare products to virtualize, which might have\nbeen better...see discussion below.)\n\n3. Logged into the Ubuntu machine and updated it the the current update levels.\n\n4. Installed what I believe are the required Java and avr tools I believe are needed for\nArduino to build and upload sketches successfully.\n\n5. Set JAVA_HOME and JAVA_HOME/bin environment variables.\n\n6. Checked out revision 593 of the arduino source code.\n\n7. Built the linux version of the source code, apparently successfully.\n\n8. Copied the built 'work' folder to a new folder in my user ~/ (that is to say, home).\n\n9. Ran .arduino and got the arduino-0016 IDE running successfully! See the attached\nscreenshot.\n\nI have not uploaded a sketch to an Really Bare Bones Board yet, but I'll do that late\ntonight, and get back to you with the results. I'm fairly confident that provided Fedora\n11's virtual machine manager can recognize the USB ports on the host computer, I can\nupload a sketch from the Ubuntu VM I just spent the day building. If it doesn't, I can ask\nthe Fedora virtualization developers for help, because I think I can make a configuration\nchange to my libvirt settings to enable USB access. On the whole, I think I have this\nchallenge met. I can coach Paul step by step in getting the arduino IDE running under\nUbuntu.\n\nThe advantage of using a virtual machine is that I might be able to send an exact image of\nmy VM to Paul and anyone else who wants it, and they will have a preconfigured, easily\ninstalled, ready-to-use Ubuntu-based development environment by postal mail. That is the\ngood part. The hard part is, I'm not sure if a Fedora virtual machine image will work in\nVMWare, for example, or VirtualBox, and I don't know if Paul's equipment has the latest\nvirtualization technology burned into the processor. The Intel P9500 processor supports\nvirtualization extensions. I'll ask around about virtual machine portability.\n\nBob Cochran\nGreenbelt, Maryland\n\n\n{{{\n\n\n}}}

[[Introduction]]\n\nMy Adruino Design Goals\n\n# [[AC Electrical Energy Monitoring]]\n# [[Oil Level Monitoring]]\n# [[Integrated battery Systems]]\n

I may want to transfer the work I have already done on a cheap version of an "Amprobe", that attaches to the mic input of a computer. More as I can get it in a coherant design. Also related to the [[Barre Energy Awareness Resource | http://bearvt.org/]] site.\n

! Oil Level Monitoring\nHere in New England, Oil level is a current and critical matter. \n\nThe obvious source for the sensor in this case is the marine industry\n\nFor instance:\n\nWest Marine\n861 Williston Rd\nSouth Burlington, VT 05403\n\nSells Fuel Gages Sending Units for [[$64.00 |http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/producte/10001/-1/10001/278607/377%20710/0/fuel%20gage/Primary%20Search/mode%20matchallpartial/0/0?N=377%20710&Ne=0&Ntt=fuel%20gage&Ntk=Primary%20Search&Ntx=mode%20matchallpartial&Nao=0&Ns=0&keyword=fuel%20gage&isLTokenURL=true&storeNum=6&subdeptNum=84&classNum=85]] or [[$44.99 | http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/producte/10001/-1/10001/300406/377%20710/0/fuel%20gage/Primary%20Search/mode%20matchallpartial/0/0?N=377%20710&Ne=0&Ntt=fuel%20gage&Ntk=Primary%20Search&Ntx=mode%20matchallpartial&Nao=0&Ns=0&keyword=fuel%20gage&isLTokenURL=true&storeNum=6&subdeptNum=78&classNum=90]]. Which would adapt to an oil tank easier?

Battery Transport and Monitoring \n\nI have a Carter era prototype [[South Coast Technology Electric Rabbit | http://oai.dtic.mil/oai/oai?verb=getRecord&metadataPrefix=html&identifier=ADA119541]] that I saved from destruction many years ago back of my house that I want to get running. \n\nI really want very smart batteries....\n\nThey should be capable of:\n\n# Internal Monitoring\n# On demand switching \n# GFE movement for ease of exchange.

! Adult Swim Location\n\n[[Hedding United Methodist Church | | http://heddingumc.org/wp/info/map ]], is located at the corner of Main Street (Rt. 302) and Church Street. The entrance we use is on church street. you need to navigate to the southern side of the church to find Church Street. The entrance is a stone stairway on the eastern side of the building. Ring the bell, knock call (802) 476-8156 or call (202) 537-0480 if the door is locked.\n
