Wifi to QR App

Mon, 25 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +0000

iOS 11 has some fantastic image recognition features build-in right in to the camera app. One of them is recognizing QR codes and decoding them. It also supports QR code for WiFi sharing. It does not seem to be a “real standard” for sharing WiFi credentials. But the following string encoded to QR seems to work on many platforms for WiFi sharing.

WIFI:S:SSID;T:Type;P:Password;

Just replace SSID, Password and Type ( encryption can be WEP/WPA ) and encode it to QR.

InstaDiv - updating instagram div

Fri, 18 Apr 2014 00:00:00 +0000

A long time ago i have written a simple div where anyone can embed his own instagram feed as a div inside html that updates itself on any new content. The div also resizes and aligns the pictures inside the div in order that the background shall not be seen by the viewer of the side. It can be used as a fancy wall.

Ransack - twitter image search

Sun, 23 Mar 2014 00:00:00 +0000

A friend of mine @jnikles and i had to make a project for a course at our university a couple of months ago. So we decided to use the Twitter-API and its geotagging as the main entry point for our search for pictures inside tweets. Sadly the API v.1 is deprecated and turned off by now (18 Feb. 2014). Before then it was possible to select a point of interest and radius for a search. The link inside the tweet a image hosting services where parsed (if we supported that image service. Instagram was our main goal) and the images where displayed on the map as an overlay on their coordinates. That worked really well and we used to MongoDB in the backend and delivered every search as an zip archive to a user.

Plush - tangible conductive controller

Sun, 12 Jan 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Plush is a game controller made with conductive fabric based on an adafruit flora project. It uses the CapPin Library to measure conductivity between the GPIO pins that runs through the conductive threads and fabrics. This project is especially fun to use with some old emulators and retro games. :-)

Pluto - game remote controller

Mon, 30 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0000

As a part for my bachelor thesis i have written a remote controller for the game HexGL that runs platform agnostic inside a web browser. It just needs WebSockets or WebRTC for communication between the devices and a fast connection (i recommend to use chrome). The controller is designed to run on a phone or a tablet. The game itself is a WebGL implementation of WipeOut that runs completely in your browser on a desktop or mobile device and has been written by Thibaut Despoulain.
