#Coding4Fun – Power Automate and Cat as a Service 😸

Hi ! You probably didn’t request this, but hey, it’s Friday and it’s time to have some fun. Yesterday, thanks to Rishab, I learned about Cat as a Service (cataas). Yes, because we can have ANYTHING as a Service 😸. I was thinking about some cool and advanced scenarios to use this, then I realized…… Continue reading #Coding4Fun – Power Automate and Cat as a Service 😸

#Coding4Fun – How to control your #drone ✈ with 20 lines of code! (24/N) #AzureIoT

Hi ! Final post, so let’s recap We have a device template representing a drone, tracking accelerometer, battery and temperature values. We have created a new device to twin our drone in Azure IoT Central. And, copy the connect information: ScopeId, DeviceId and Key. Let’s use a “get data from drone demo” and publish this…… Continue reading #Coding4Fun – How to control your #drone ✈ with 20 lines of code! (24/N) #AzureIoT

#Coding4Fun – How to control your #drone ✈ with 20 lines of code! (23/N) #AzureIoT

Hi ! Now that we have a device template created, we can create a new device in our Azure IoT Central portal and start to send information to Azure IoT. We start by creating a new device based on the previous template and it’s time to copy and paste the connection information for this device:…… Continue reading #Coding4Fun – How to control your #drone ✈ with 20 lines of code!

#Coding4Fun – How to control your #drone ✈ with 20 lines of code! (22/N) #AzureIoT

Hi ! In my the live events where I explain how to code to control the drone, I show a scenario where drone information is sent to Azure IoT Central. I just realized that I never wrote about it, so here is post 1 of N to describe this scenario. Azure IoT Central As usual…… Continue reading #Coding4Fun – How to control your #drone ✈ with 20 lines of code! (22/N) #AzureIoT

#Coding4Fun – RaspberryPi LED Christmas Tree 🎄 sync with Microsoft Teams (2/N) Azure AD, 🦒 and Apps

Hi ! Back in the Microsoft Lync days, we had access to an SDK that allowed us to interact with the Messaging client in a local mode. As of today, there is not similar SDK to interact with Microsoft Teams. So, if I want to know the status of an user in Microsoft Teams, we…… Continue reading #Coding4Fun – RaspberryPi LED Christmas Tree 🎄 sync with Microsoft Teams (2/N) Azure AD, 🦒 and Apps

#Coding4Fun – #RaspberryPi LED Christmas Tree 🎄 sync with #MicrosoftTeams (1/N) Why? Why not !

Hi ! So I was preparing boxes with gadgets I have for our next house move, and I realized that I had a super cool Led based Christmas Tree, that can be used with a Raspberry Pi. The device can be programmed with Python, so I decided to go in my notes and I found…… Continue reading #Coding4Fun – #RaspberryPi LED Christmas Tree 🎄 sync with #MicrosoftTeams (1/N) Why? Why not !

#Coding4Fun – How to control your #drone with 20 lines of code! (21/N)

Hi ! In my post series I already wrote about how to detect faces. We can do this with a camera and OpenCV. However, a drone can also be moved on command, so let’s write some lines to detect a face, and calculate the orientation and distance of the detected face from the center camera…… Continue reading #Coding4Fun – How to control your #drone with 20 lines of code! (21/N)

#Coding4Fun – How to control your #drone with 20 lines of code! (3/N)

Hi! Today I’ll write the equivalent of a Hello World in the drone ecosystem. This is a very complex app which: take off the dronewait a couple of secondslands the drone I’ve followed the Python code sample from the SDK and the final code is very complex (see below). And it deserves some remarks Line…… Continue reading #Coding4Fun – How to control your #drone with 20 lines of code! (3/N)

#Coding4Fun – Slap your boss away with #Skype and #LeapMotion (I’m getting ready for 2020!)

Important: This repost is just to start one of my 2020 projects, which is very easy: write more fun stuff ! Hi ! During all my time working I was lucky enough to have some very cool bosses. So this is not personal at all, is just a funny way to discard a “incoming call”…… Continue reading #Coding4Fun – Slap your boss away with #Skype and #LeapMotion (I’m getting ready for 2020!)
