TinySafeBoot, Arduino, and Wireless Upload to ATtiny85

The Dream

I've dreamed of a PCB with everything: uC, H-bridges, PSU, Lipo charger, inductive power collector, and a wirelesss device which would allow wireless uploading to the uC. A platform I could use for robotics and wearable projectss alike. Most of these features I have solved, yet one which I believed to be ever elusive to a hacker is wireless uploading. I've had lot of failed attempts, some as painful as writing my own uploader for the LPC1114, others as "simple" as hacking away at the Arduino IDE source. However, I've found a combination which brings me a bit ...

Jazzy, Jekyll, and Swift 2.1

I wanted to take a a moment and write out how I plan to document future Swift projectss.

Step One: Install

I found Jazzy . It's a command line utility for documenting Xcode projectss. Nifty thing is, it is one of the few which works with Swift 2+. Anyway, it is pretty painless to get up and going.

After turning my phone and email I was able to...catch up on family time. Sigh. Then, clean house. Then, get bored. But with a few days left I actually got some hacking in.
