Linux Nerd Coping in Windows. Posted by jiGGaK on September 30th, 2012. I run a triple boot setup with Windows 7, Mac OS X 10.7, and Arch Linux. Linux is my go-to OS but I get most of my paid work from Windows .NET and iOS development. As a result I’ve had to spend lots of time in every ones favorite non-unix OS. I’ve compiled a few tricks that make using Windows 7 a bit more bearable (maybe even enjoyable) for the Linux nerd. Goodbye cmd.exe, Hello Console2. Has all sorts of great features (hint:. Becau...

ATX PSU into Bench PSU. Posted by jiGGaK on September 24th, 2011. I stumbled upon this video by Phil Levchenko showing how to turn an ATX power supply into a bench power supply. I had an old PSU laying around and thought this would be a perfect way to give it a new life. Phil’s video is great, but I found the video tutorial format a bit tricky to follow at times. Click through for some pictures, tips and diagrams that you may find helpful. Standard ATX wire colours. One last glamour shot. You right, that...

Canon 2 Stage Shutter Switch. Posted by jiGGaK on March 5th, 2011. Yet another use for an arcade button. Here is a nifty weekend project. It’s a 2-stage shutter remote for my Canon T2i DSLR. The red push button is a full press and the arcade button is a half press. Since it requires less force to push the arcade button than it does the red push button, it functions exactly as the cameras built-in shutter switch. I got the inspiration for this project from a guide on diyphotography.net.

PS3 Gamepad With Home Button. Posted by jiGGaK on May 25th, 2010. Teensy on a breakout board. It’s no secret the PS3 will work with most USB HID gamepads or joysticks. However the Home button is something special. If you connect your sixaxis controller to your PC and monitor button presses, the Home button comes up as button number 13. If you then create a standard gamepad with the same button mapping, the PS3 will refuse to recognize the Home button. I used the amazingly awesome Teensy. Can be printed o...
