Dreamcast controller manipulation
by Jaku on Jun.04, 2007, under Chicago 2600, Code, Haxs, Presentations, Projects
I presented my secret project at the 2600 meeting. I was hoping for a much bigger response to it than the one I got. I felt that there was to much to go over and so that made people bored\unimpressed. Or maybe I am the only person that thinks controlling an 8 year old system with a web browser, or Wii remote is cool. Eitherway, I had fun working on it, and I learned a lot from this one project. So at least I can take the knowledge of this project and use it towards other things. I already have a few ideas but won’t be working on them until I move to my new apartment, whenever that might be.

New Secret Project
by Jaku on May.31, 2007, under Haxs
I have been working on a new secret project the past few days. A few people know about it, as I needed them to test some things. But I’m not saying what it is, until after the 2600 meeting on Friday. I hope to have most of it ready for the presentation I will be giving on it. It isn’t the coolest thing in the world, but it is interesting. I will have a demo of it at the 2600 meeting, so that should be fun.
A whole bunch of updates
by Jaku on May.19, 2007, under Haxs
So I had some time to work on the site today. Most of it is under the hood updates.
I updated to the latest version of WP, as well as added a few plugins and modfied them to work how I want. I can now change the image of the picture on the right by email, without having my MacBookPro on. I now have my current status from Twitter on the right, as well as my AIM status. Soon to have my latest post from Dodgeball. You don’t see it yet, but when I answer a question from Consumating.com, it will show up under the Consumating catergory, it won’t post to the front page to keep it clutter free. I know I am forgetting some things, but either way, I am alive and I am working on the site, so both good things. Inless you hate me that is.
UT-41 GPS in OS X
by Jaku on May.17, 2007, under Code, Projects
I recently got a UT-41 at http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=UT-41&cat=GPS
It didn’t support OS X out of the box so here is how I got it working.
First download the Serial to USB driver for OS X at http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/drivers/pl2303driver.html. After installing it, you are asked to reboot. Do so.
When you are back to OS X you can download and compile GSPd or get the GUI Binary gpsdXConfig at http://ghw.spade-men.com/gpsdx.html.
If you compiled GSPd, you can run the following command in terminal
gpsd tty.PL2303-0000103D
or if you are using the GUI you might have to refresh the serial list, and then select /dev/tty.PL2303-0000103D
To see if it is working, you can telnet to your localhost, press “r” and enter and you should see some GPS data like so.
telnet localhost 2947
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
GPSD

GPSD,R=1
$GPGSV,3,2,12,17,47,258,,27,33,173,,24,16,189,,29,13,287,*74
$GPGSV,3,3,12,26,13,293,,19,05,056,,20,03,125,,04,02,199,*7A
$GPRMC,224206.00,V,3818.6285,N,08552.2345,W,,,200906,,,N*59
$GPGGA,224206.00,3818.6285,N,08552.2345,W,0,00,0.0,,M,,M,,*4F
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*1E
After that you can select GPS under Preferences, and choose GPSd in the drop down. After words you should have GPS working in OS X with the UT-41.
