schestowitz                                        <p>Done right, you can build a smart home that leaves your guests gobsmacked, talking for months about their experience and frantically searching for ways to recreate it in their own homes. </p>Sep 28 15:40
schestowitz                                        <p> In this article, we’ll look at a few of the ways you can use the IoT to enhance your guests’ experiences and become the talk of the town (in a good way). </p>Sep 28 15:40

schestowitz                                        <p>Most of the mechanical components are 3D-printable and an Arduino MKR1000 WiFi board is the primary component. Moving the shift lever pushes a switch, which the Arduino registers. Almeida developed the sketch using PlatformIO. It sets the Arduino up as a standard USB HID that will work with any racing sim or game, because it sends key presses like any keyboard or gamepad. It doesn’t receive fSep 28 15:40
schestowitzeedback from the PC, so it has to keep track of the current gear and let the user set the number of gears available using small buttons below the readout display.</p>Sep 28 15:40

schestowitz                                    <blockquote>Sep 28 15:51
schestowitz                                        <p>On September 27, 1983, Richard M. Stallman announced the development of the GNU operating system and thereby initiated the global free software movement. Today, the GNU operating system is entirely composed of free software, i.e. it gives the user the freedom to use, study, modify, and share it. GNU, usually combined with the kernel Linux, enables millions of people everyday around the world --Sep 28 15:51
schestowitz including entire governments -- to operate their computers in freedom. </p>Sep 28 15:51
schestowitz                                        <p> FSF executive director Zoë Kooyman stresses that the FSF and the GNU Project's values of freedom, community, sharing, and learning are as important today as they were forty years ago. Kooyman says, "To use free software is to make an ethical choice asserting the right to learn and share what we learn with others. We are delighted to see that over the past forty years, the free software movemeSep 28 15:51
schestowitznt has become a blueprint for a society where we share our knowledge in a way that others can build upon and enjoy."</p>Sep 28 15:51
