Ivan Kravets: "Creativity comes from talent but not from knowled

[http://www.ikravets.com/] "Creativity comes from talent and never from knowledge" Menu Skip to content SmartAnthill Music Creativity Research Sitemap About me An Android Cross-Compiling Environment on Windows/UNIX-like systems using NDK The Android NDK is a toolset that allows us to implement parts of our app using native-code languages such as C and C++ . There are many articles about integrating Android SDK/ NDK and writing some “ C/C++ ” JNI compatible code. JNI is the Java Native Interface . It defines a way for managed code (written in the Java programming language) to interact with native code (written in C/C++ ). But today we will talk about: the native cross-compiling on the Windows/UNIX-like systems uploading of the compiled binary file to the Android device running the compiled binary file via Android CLI shell. And what is interesting, we will not use the Android SDK (except adb utility) or any others Android sources Continue reading → This entry was posted in Programming and tagged adb , Android , compiler , Cygwin , JNI , NDK , SDK , Unix , Windows on January 18, 2014 by Ivan Kravets . Merry Christmas and Happy New Year + (Bonus Songs) So the last days of this year are ending… And many of us are thinking about what we did in this old year. Some of us are analyzing a self success, when others the happened failures. But we should realize that the success and failures are our knowledge of life. Each of us have had happy and troubled minutes in this year. But the main is that we had faith in ourself and in success. I like to follow by this proverb: “ Everything will work out for the best “. Therefore, let these holidays bring you and your family gladness, love and prosperity. I wish you in New Year that all of your dreams become true. And I want to give you a few of my “Piano” New Year songs… Continue reading → This entry was posted in Music Creativity , News , Others and tagged Christmas , greeting , Jingle Bells , Music , New Year , Piano on December 27, 2013 by Ivan Kravets . History of “SmartAnthill” Project SmartAnthill is an intelligent micro-oriented networking system My love to electronics has started from my childhood. And if you ask me about: “What was your favorite toy in childhood?”, then I answer: “Most likely it was a soldering iron”. In that time I only had a minimal basic knowledge in electronics. But to understand that a circuit is broken due to a faulty resistor or transistor was not a big problem for me. The most interesting moment of “electronic life” started several years ago. Then I was one of those people who have made their first “electronics steps” in the “ Home Automation “. The first task which had to be resolved was a “ Simplified Climate Control System “. The first way to find the solution for it was using OWFS based on “ 1-Wire ” bus . This approach was cheap and easy to use. The fundamental hardware part was built on DS18B20 ( 1-Wire Digital Thermometer ) and DS2408 ( 1-Wire 8-Channel Addressable Switch ) chips. At the building stage in my house I embedded a lot of digital thermometers into the floor. This allowed me to control the floor’s temperature in the different rooms (because I didn’t have the radiators for heating ). The information about temperature, the ability to control heating collector and gas boiler, the several lines of Bash / PHP code helped me to create my first working version of “ Climate Control System “. With it I could: setup different “Climate Programs”(Day/Night, Weekend, Holiday, Guests and any others modes) monitor and analyze history of temperature and heating collector (excellent graphs) control this system from outside of my house (via Internet with mobile application) reduce a gas consumption in several times Continue reading → This entry was posted in SmartAnthill and tagged 1-wire , Arduino , CAN , climate control , home automation , owfs , SmartAnthill on December 27, 2013 by Ivan Kravets and has 2 Replies . Eclipse Helios + PDT + Smarty = indispensable tool for WEB-developers Eclipse Helios is a next regular update to all known and loved IDE for us, which contains a huge number of innovations and improvements . Earlier I have already written about how to integrate previous version of Eclipse Galileo with PDT + Smarty . I’m pleased that the materials of the publication were useful for lots of people because I received numerous “Thanks” in anonymous form. In fact, there is no problem with integration in new Eclipse Helios because it contains the new PDT 2.2.x and the DLTK 2.x plug-ins that are necessary for the functioning SmartyPDT . Therefore, I recommend every one to upgrade on Eclipse Helios, and if you want to integrate the PDT + Smarty, then read below… Continue reading → This entry was posted in Programming and tagged Eclipse , IDE , PDT , PHP , Python , Smarty on September 27, 2010 by Ivan Kravets and has 7 Replies . Concept-car “Бурсак” – українськe міні-авто за 24 000 грн. Проходячи біля головного корпусу НАУ, запримітив досить цікавий автомобільчик. На перший погляд здалось, що це якийсь закордонний concept-car (електромобіль чи ще щось), але коли підійшов поближче і побачивши назву “Бурсак”, одразу зрозумів, що не все у нашій країні “завмерло”. Назва розсмішила Та і обрано її було не “просто так”, адже вона повністю походить від слова “бурса”. Тобто, таке авто собі зміг би придбати чи не кожен студент Хоча це лише прототип, і зроблений він повністю рукми, то ніщо йому не заважає розвивати швидкість в 120км. Як сказав автор цього “Бурсука” , у нього можна “засунути” будь-який двигун, включаючи електро. На даний момент “Бурсак” був обладнаний движком від мотоцикла “Дніпро” (МТ-10) K-650. Так так, саме двигуном всім нам відомого мотоцикла. Панель приборів і датчики були взяті із різних українських автомобілів. Позаглядавши знизу під “Бурсука” , зрозумів що він не є особливо надійним. Те що простий, як “віник”, тут заперечень немає, але ось з’єднання різних агрегатних вузлів складають таке враження, що якщо машина в’їде на великій швидкості в хорошу ямку, то мало що з неї залишиться Але це тільки прототип, тому до серійного виробництва ще далеко. Та і на вигляд досить непогано виглядає. “Перед” мені не сильно подобається, а ось “бік і зад” – терпимий Та і ціна, ІМХО, досить велика. За таку ціну уже можна якийсь б.у ВАЗ купити. А Ви як вважаєте, є майбутнє у такого мотомобіля? Continue reading → This entry was posted in News and tagged Бурсак , міні-авто , новини on September 21, 2010 by Ivan Kravets and has 4 Replies .
