Keep it as simple as possible!
In a former post I wrote about my trouble getting touch support up an running with my eGalax Touch Display, JavaFX and the Raspberry Pi. Today Simon gave me a hint how he solved that touch event issues with JavaFX. Many Kudos to Simon Ritter (@speakjava)! The Clue It turns out that the screen driver… Continue Reading Solved: eGalax Touch Screen issues with JavaFX (on Raspberry Pi)
Looking for a lightweight Java-based solution to run REST services on embedded systems I already had an eye on the Vert.x project. I was excited to see there is a talk about it on the agenda of the Herbstcampus in Nuremberg last week (I talked about my RasPi projects). It was a pleasure to attend… Continue Reading RasPi does the Home Automation (Part V): Just around the corner
Recently had some fun when controlling my stepper motor with my Raspberry Pi. The motor: a 28BYJ-48 with ULN2003 driver unit: Cool: Pi4J has a ready to use GpioStepperMotorComponent. Let’s assume this architecture: Thus we start with the StepperMotorAdapter using this component. First some helpfull defines: private final int oneRevolution = 2038; private final int… Continue Reading JavaFX on Raspberry Pi: Some fun with stepper motor
Refer for latest updates here. Hi, some minor FontAwesomeFX updates: The AwesomeDude now provides convenience methods to add an AwesomeFont-Icon to existing Labeled-controls and MenuItems by setting the graphic node: labeled.setGraphic(createIconLabel(icon,iconSize)); Recall that direct subclasses of Labeled are ButtonBase, Cell, Label, TitledPane and their friends (by now I have not tested all combination). setIcon(Labeled labeled,… Continue Reading ‘Font Awesome’ Icons with JavaFX: minor updates
Hi all, until now all UI-Actions to control my wireless gears had to run directly on the Pi which controls the remote as e.g. deviceControl.turnOn(device); is called. But now I’d rather make a web service available for this purpose to be more independently. Question is: Which server should I use? Apache/PHP: too less Java 😉… Continue Reading RasPi does the Home Automation (Part IV): Cut the ‘rope’
Hi, before JavaFX can take over, I need some bottom-up stuff to control my Intertechno-Devices. Basically this is the schema: Right now I have 2 radio intermediate adapters to switch the lights of my terrace/garden and the fountain. And one of these to control the lights in front of my house (cool: can be combined… Continue Reading RasPi does the Home Automation (Part II): Crossing the bridge to JavaFX
[UPDATE] Solved: eGalax Touch Screen issues with JavaFX (on Raspberry Pi) Hi all, yesterday I recevied my 7″ touch screen. I immediately started to give it a try. In the end spend the night with getting it work with my RasPi. First with X11 Installed pre-configured kernel with eGalax touch screen support: Works! startx: Works!… Continue Reading JavaFX 8 embedded currently ‘untouchable’?
Hi all, it’s some time ago since my last post as I was very busy due to other projects. But I still intent to control my wireless power outlets with the Raspberry. The hardware In the meantime the receiver/transmitter components arrived from Hong Kong (took some weeks, but 8€ (incl. shipping!) for 5 pairs of… Continue Reading RasPi does the Home Automation (Part I): Setting up the Pi
I have started a new leisure time project with my Raspberry Pi. Target: control the outside lighting around my house (yes, magic words these days: HOME AUTOMATION). But let’s see how far I will get ;-). Until now I created a very simple JavaFX UI to control and test the 8 GPIO-out pin states: But… Continue Reading JavaFX on Raspberry Pi: GPIO Controller (Part1)
