Creating Facebook Application With Heroku

Recently, facebook started offering official support to host facebook applications in the heroku cloud. I was just having a walkaround and thought of noting down some worthwhile things that could save few hours for a begginer.

By the way, this post is exclusively for those who use ubuntu and are n00b just like me.

1. Initially, just follow the immaturely documented instructions and install the heroku toolbelt.

Ubuntu Linux -- http://toolbelt.herokuapp.com/linux/readme

2. Now go to your ubuntu terminal and login with your credentials to upload the ssh keys

>$ heroku login

3. Bang! Errors? - Step 2 might not work for you if you don't have some dependancy packages installed in your ubuntu. First browse to the /usr/bin folder then ask you to if you still have some error like:

heroku /command/run.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- readline (LoadError)

Here you are missing ruby . You can install ruby by typing the following lines in the terminal

>$ apt-get install libreadline-ruby

4. Once you are done try again to with the login commands and you are good to go.

Building Autonomous Drone with Raspberry Pi and APM 2.8

I am a total newbie to hardware and was pushing my limits to see how far I can reach on with hardware projects (which sparked my interest lately). I have set out on a very ambitions mission to control a drone from raspberry pi .I began the research for this around 2 months ago and had brought a raspberry pi, drone body kit and apm flight controller. The key difference of this project from common drone projects is that I'm trying to avoid the use of and RC and instead use the raspberry pi to control it. Hardware Ins tallation Setup: I am using APM 2.8 and Mission Planner. I am using RPi 3 to control the APM 2.8 via Telem port of APM I am planning to power the apm via the battery to ESC (Electronic Speed Controllers) Now, documenting my steps below: Day 1 Watch Tutorial To get started with APM flight controller, I watched this video tutorial [1] which gives a gentle introduction about APM board. Setup APM board and Calibrate Sensors I downloaded the APM Missi

Adafruit GFX - How to change line spacing in text?

You may want to update the line spacing to be a little lower than default due to small screen size on IoT devices. I faced this challenge while working on a Watchy hobby project. You may have used a font generator or just using the default fonts and got a *.h file that has the details of the font. In that case just change the last integer value in the PROGMEM variable.
