Developing Facebook Applications In PhpFog

I've experimented developing facebook applications in several newly emerged venues, namely,

Goolge App Engine ( Java )
Heroku ( Php )

I got the chance to explore these cloud platforms very deep and learned a lot on the way. For some reason or the other, none of them met my requirements ( they were quite vast :P ) . Now, I've got an account into phpfog.com and done with quite a few testing. So far, I feel it's the best cloud platform ( PaaS ) for facebook applications in php.

Good Sides of PhpFog

I felt the Git usage from linux is easier in phpfog.com than heroku
Allows all Image manipulation functions ( i.e. supports GD library )

It's quite easy to get started with a new facebook application in phpfog.

1. Sign-up at phpfog
2. Create a cloud
3. Create an application --> Choose Facebook application from the list of presented applications
4. Download it with the Git

That was just an overview, detailed steps are described in their documentation very neatly.

I got a working facebook sample application done by now :

I tried updating it via the git and succeeded ( I changed the "Welcome to" to "Welcome 2" )

Now grab a good book or google for sample programs and start your way in to the world of facebook applications!

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 downloade...

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.
