Giving up hope on svelte-kit

Casually checking on status of svelte-kit after a few weeks of not doing so when I returned from the holiday. The result was not good. The open issues for the 1.0 milestone just pile up. It feels like it will never be released. I have got involved in the #733 due to traling slash…

Trying tauri with svelte

I had tried tauri and was pretty pleased by the result. Tauri produces a single binary with the UI made in web frontend technologies we love to hate like React, Vue or even Svelte. It's magic is done in Rust. Tauri's main competitor appears to be Electron. Although Electron is qu…

Stepper motors: 2-phase and 3-phase

Machine movements are generally made either by pneumatic valves or by electro-magnetic motors. Omitting the pneumatics for now, the electro-magnetic motors generally further divide to alternating-current or AC in short and direct-current, or DC in short. So far so good. Anyway, A…

Repeat find and till in vim

There are two very useful keys for navigation in vim: find and till. I am using both daily and these are one of the keys I have learned somewhere at the very beginning of my vim learning curve. To explain briefly, there is a group of a so called motion keys, performing a cursor m…

My pause from the daily writing for a week due to holiday led me to understand how the habit of doing something every day for almost three months rooted into my mind. I was rely reluctant to break my chain of writing and I was determined to do a #100daystooffload challenge in jus…

Understanding pulse outputs of M-Duino 38AR+

When the need to drive a stepper motor arises, one can turn to the microcontroller. For the task, I am currently using M-Duino AR38+ and I have already written something about it a few days back, link here. Note that an Arduino based controller is suitable for the task because it…
