In this blog post we’ll show you how to create wires and tubes in different ways. We’ll start with laying everything on a flat surface, then on an uneven surface and lastly mix things up a bit more. These methods…
In our last post on supervised learning, we investigated how an agent could make a function f(x) = y, to train itself to best fit your data. Let’s see how we do this in python, and start with an easier…
Previously published AI-related blog posts: Artificial Intelligence – Bayes Network Artificial Intelligence – Machine Learning from Supervised learning Earlier in our AI blog series we have covered topics that have been quite comprehensive and theoretical, so it’s time we show…
Disclaimer: Be aware that this topic is more theoretical than most of our other blog posts. After all this is NOT an easy subject to comprehend. But hang in there, because this will be an important building block before we…
This post will be the first in a series on Artificial Intelligence (AI), where we will investigate the theory behind AI and incorporate some practical examples. The first, and perhaps most important section of this series, will be on probability,…
Be sure to check out Makefiles: Part 1 — A Gentle Introduction and Makefiles: Part 2 — Makefiles Can Make Webpages?. This time we want to be able to: run make test to run a few tests on our code, run…
In Makefiles: Part 1 — A Gentle Introduction we learned a few tricks concerning the basics of Makefiles. Today, we will learn some of the more confusing symbols used in Makefiles’ syntax, commonly seen around the web in Makefiles. We will use…
Let’s look at the notorious Makefile today! We will ease into it and keep things clean! This first part will look at creating a makefile which does not do anything significant. Rather, we will create rules (which actions in makefiles…

Last year we wrote a blog post where we showed how to use parametric modelling to make a simple box. Someone commented that they would like to know how to make a triangle box as well. We thought it would…
Sculptris is a sculpting 3D modelling software developed by Pixelogic who also have developed the more famous ZBrush. Unlike ZBrush however, Sculptris is completely free! We haven’t looked at Sculptris before, so let’s give you our first impressions before going…
In this post are we going to talk a bit about MQTT and give you a quick example of how you can publish a simple message to a MQTT-Broker from a simple computer system (here: an Orange Pi Zero). MQTT…
It’s been a while since the previous part of this series. This edition will take a side-step away from the regular Arduino/C++ and Python examples and look at the language C, which is quite similar to the Arduino/C++ language. This…
Autodesk Fusion 360 has now an easy-to-use simulation module which can be used to simulate static stress, modal frequencies, heat and thermal stress. Many are not aware that Fusion 360, a software which actually is free for students, makers and…
Welcome to part 6 in our series where we go through the basics of programming. This edition is about two unrelated topics: defines and random numbers. Be sure to check out the previous episodes: Part 1: Skimming the Surface Part…
