I’ve not posted much in the past 2 years because I’ve been busy on the project that was, in part, due to the research that I ended up posting here. I didn’t want to post anything specifically about this project … Continue reading
I have to go thru my notes every so often to find the formula for navigating backwards, so I’ll post this stuff here in case anyone else finds it useful. Modulus math is very handy for dealing with circular functions … Continue reading
In my prior post, ESP8266/Arduino IDE: Building an LED Blink Server, I documented the creation of an LED blink server that runs on an ESP8266. Now I’m going to show how to access that ESP8266 using Lazarus. Because Lazarus can … Continue reading
I recently purchased an Adafruit PiTFT TFT/Touchscreen for my Raspberry Pi thinking I might want to use it to monitor status of a project on which I am working. It cost $35. Not sure if I would call that reasonable … Continue reading
(updated Sep 2017 to discuss latest seed/bootstrap compiler) I have long wanted a recent version of Lazarus for Raspberry Pi. I’ve looked at recompiling it, but the exact instructions have been hard to come by. Until last week! I accidently … Continue reading
(click here to see index of all ESP8266 posts) This is a variation on the theme of the prior post, except in this case, the ESP8266 sends a UDP packet to the RPI which processes it using Lazarus / Free … Continue reading
Way back when, I did a simple example of using Free Pascal to turn an LED on and off: Accessing Raspberry Pi GPIO using Lazarus/Free Pascal To date, that has been the most I’ve needed to do to the real … Continue reading
I needed to know sunrise / sunset times and wasn’t happy with any Pascal implementations I found. This code was implemented using the algorithm found at http://williams.best.vwh.net/sunrise_sunset_algorithm.htm This is a simple unit that can be easily implemented. There are no … Continue reading
The lazwiringpi wrapper has worked fine for me in the past, found here (you must be logged in to see the download). http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,17404.0.html This wrapper allows you to accessing the Raspberry Pi wiringPi library which is written in C. Granted, … Continue reading
apt-get install fpc lazarus fails with “fpc : Depends: fpc-2.6.0 (= 2.6.0-9+rpi1) but it is not going to be installed” on Raspberry Pi Evidently, something has been changed recently in Raspbian making it impossible to install FPC or Lazarus. From … Continue reading
