Thomas Lextrait is writing on the Svbtle. November 19, 2014. Building a Drone with Arduino (p1). There’s a few things I’ve always wanted to do but never had the time to.

The documentation is very complex and meant for professionals working in big firms that integrate this into consumer products. The drone should only take high level...

Thomas Lextrait is writing on the Svbtle. July 7, 2014. I spent some time trying to find a UPC database. Essentially it is a database that associates bar codes to products and company names.

Thomas Lextrait is writing on the Svbtle. Software Developer at EF and Founder of Jackfruit. Feb 17, 2014. This weekend I decided to refresh on C in preparation for some interviews. I tried to pick a project that I could code in roughly one day. It should not only have me review C but force me to solve some problems and implement some data structures I don’t necessarily use every day. Here are some very basic to average problems that building this program entails:. Continue reading →. Feb 9, 2014. In thi...
