In the market
A lot of preparation time is an unsettling and at the same time calm process because no one sets limits on you or expects you to rise to the occasion. I think of this phase as when you get off the overcrowded highway and go much of the way down a lonely shortcut. Sooner or…

The end of the walk through a desert
The walker voluntarily abandoned the traveled path and entered a large barren plain with the only company of the sun and inclement weather. The fear of the crowd was greater than the inhospitable solitude of the desert. Silence and loneliness were a consolation to the wounded mind of the walker, who was finally able to…

Vesta Console
It is very difficult to debug code on an Arduino Mega with the IDE tools because most chips do not allow direct debugging. This project quickly became quite complex; so much so that it was almost impossible to track the values stored in the internal structures, which are the soul of the system. I needed…

The power of a god in the back of an office
It often occurs to me to think about the contrast between the result of any creative process and its making. Mozart scribbled small symbols on his infinite staves, William Shackespeare filled delicate sheets of paper with his texts and, between blots of Chinese ink, a torrent of freshness emerged. The contrast… The great abyss between…

Camino de hierro Soria V5.0
Those of us who are involved in the world of railways are in luck. On May 1, 2022, the fifth version of the scenario of the most incredible simulator of all time was released. Not because of its graphics, which are far from the perfection of current techniques, nor because of its plot… it’s just…

Analogic I/O
After a few days of refactoring and optimizing code, I’ve been able to get by with two of the most needed devices in any controller. They are the analog input and output. They are based on the primitive capabilities of Arduino to read any electrical potential between 0 and 5 volts with 12 bits of…

Local and Remote modes
A tricky issue is the one related to the reliability of the network in a real-time system. Communication failures cannot be foreseen and cannot be avoided. It is necessary to learn to live with potential errors in a comfortable and safe way. That is why the Lares and Vesta structures contemplate the local mode and…

Lares Events
It may seem stupid, but the progress of these days has been (by far) the biggest since the early stages of the project. First of all, I have been refactoring the code to place certain parts that already existed in better structured blocks. These logical modifications have led to two independent compilers: Vesta’s, which also…
