I am working on a semi-auto detection idea for Arduino for the Scope project.
It does require a little user intervention but minimal.
It works by just responding to two on screen prompts to unplug and plug Arduino
into a USB port.
There are two versions and both work perfectly well and give... (3 Replies)

Just finished a quick Python script to send the current unix time over to the Arduino from macOS, so in the absence of GPS or some other way to get the unix timestamp (epoch time) to the Arduino, I can get my macOS and Arduino UNO synced to within a second.

My favorite projects are always related to the "latest" tech in command and control, networking and network communications. This Elecrow GSM/GPRS/EDGE SIM5360E 3G Shield seems to be the "latest and the greatest" as far as 3G and GPS, as far as I can see so far, but I has it drawbacks for sure.... (6 Replies)
Today I received my NB-IoT Arduino Shield for AIS (Thailand). Here is a "pinout" photo of the shield.
My shield looks just like the one above, for the most part. I'll post another photo of the actual device later.

Normally I have very good experiences buying from AliExpress, but in this case with Elecrow, I'm disappointed.

imagecreatefromgif
IMAGECREATEFROMGIF(3) 1 IMAGECREATEFROMGIF(3)imagecreatefromgif - Create a new image from file or URLSYNOPSIS
resource imagecreatefromgif (string $filename)
DESCRIPTION imagecreatefromgif(3) returns an image identifier representing the image obtained from the given filename.
Tip
A URL can be used as a filename with this function if the fopen wrappers have been enabled. See fopen(3) for more details on how to
specify the filename. See the "Supported Protocols and Wrappers" for links to information about what abilities the various wrappers
have, notes on their usage, and information on any predefined variables they may provide.
PARAMETERS
o $filename
- Path to the GIF image.
RETURN VALUES
Returns an image resource identifier on success, FALSE on errors.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Example to handle an error during loading of a GIF
<?php
function LoadGif($imgname)
{
/* Attempt to open */
$im = @imagecreatefromgif($imgname);
/* See if it failed */
if(!$im)
{
/* Create a blank image */
$im = imagecreatetruecolor (150, 30);
$bgc = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
$tc = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
imagefilledrectangle ($im, 0, 0, 150, 30, $bgc);
/* Output an error message */
imagestring ($im, 1, 5, 5, 'Error loading ' . $imgname, $tc);
}
return $im;
}
header('Content-Type: image/gif');
$img = LoadGif('bogus.image');
imagegif($img);
imagedestroy($img);
?>
The above example will output something similar to:[NOT DISPLAYABLE MEDIA]Output of example : Example to handle an error during
loading of a GIF
NOTES
Note
GIF support was removed from the GD library in Version 1.6, and added back in Version 2.0.28. This function is not available
between these versions.
Note
When reading animated GIF files into memory, only the first frame is returned in the image resource pointer.
