Side projects. Sometimes hacked. And sometimes with a hammer.

The documentation is incomplete as of 11/25/2015:  http://esf.eurotech.com/docs/how-to-use-can-bus . It shows you how to setup the can0/can1 interfaces. I think I finally figured out the real steps to getting the CAN bus service working in Kura. I found this website somewhat useful:  https://tobiddev.wordpress.com/2015/03/23/one-bundle-project-modbus-and-eclipse-kura/ . It didn't tell me how to build a bundle, but I took a chance with the following and now I'm able to see my module loading the CanConnectionService in the Kura logs. First, build Kura from source following this guide:  https://wiki.eclipse.org/Kura/Getting_Started . You'll probably want to build it in Linux (I am using Debian Jessie) or possibly OS X (I didn't test it). For sure, it fails in Windows 8 at the create_installer.sh part, so I decided not to waste any more time on it. You basically need Kura built just enough so that you can load everything into Eclipse. I was able to do this using Eclipse

I finally got my own copy of CLRS. This is legit. Well, it's only legit if I really start studying. I'll give an update in the next few days... In other news, I finally figured out how to draw nice arrows in Paper53 .

Not really, but sorta. I finally figured out, ten years late in my career, that I need brush up on theory and just do side projects. Even if I'm no good at it. Starting with coding up data structures and algorithms. In C++. This past week, I did a basic doubly linked list (at least, I think... I'll need to check it against what I find in Google) and then will do a queue and stack, derived from the linked list. I'll also start binary search tree this week. I've also begun reading up on Java 7 and need to start a project with it.
