StartWatch and Countdown for NanoNote

Monday, June 14th, 2010

I previously created a stopwatch and a countdown timer for Dingux, which I’m now re-releasing for the Ben NanoNote, with new keybindings and updated guide text.

Download Countdown here.
Download StartWatch here.

Source, as always, is included, though with these releases, makefiles are not.

I used this line to compile (compiled with Dingux toolchain):
mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc main.c -lSDLmain -lSDL -lSDL_ttf -o binaryname

Copy the binary files and the font font.ttf to /usr/bin if you want to run these applications without having to change your working directory into where they are stored each time you wish to use them.

If you find any bugs or have any feature requests, let me know, either via comments or via the Google Code issue tracker.

NanoNote arrives, dex gets released

Saturday, June 12th, 2010

My NanoNote finally arrived yesterday. It’s made of pure awesome. I’ve tested dex on it, made a few optimizations and fixed a few bugs, so here it is, the first release of dex! Enjoy!

dex v1 stable
Download it from my Google Code page here! Please read through the readme.txt file for usage and other related information. Protip: Copy the dex binary to /usr/bin, and you won’t have to navigate to the folder it’s stored each time you want to use it. If you find any bugs, or have any feature requests, please use the issue tracker on my Google Code project. Comments can go on the comments to this article. Thanks.

Unrelated news:
I also made two mini-tools today (both for MIPS/Ben NanoNote):

  • A random password generator which will generate a random 8 character password, containing lower and upper case letters, and numbers. Download here.
  • An SDL-application to view key codes for pressed keys, which can come in handy when that’s not documented (I used it to find the keycodes of the Vol Up/Vol Down buttons). Press Escape to quit. Download here.

Dingux Kernel with 8×8 terminal font

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

I built a Dingux kernel with an 8×8 terminal font instead of the hard-to-read 4×6 font today.

Check out the thread over at Dingoonity for more info and download.

This is how sexy it looks:

I will probably recieve my NanoNote today! Hooray!
