I’ve recently starting contributing code into repositories on GitHub. There are already several and I plan on a lot more. They range from puzzles to other scripts/applications that I use at home.
- Projects
- DSLR Lightning Trigger – https://github.com/chaddotson/arduino-lightning-trigger
This repo includes circuit design and code for an arduino based lightning trigger for a DSLR. See my article related to this here. - NOAA Radar – Deprecated
This package provides tools for downloading and overlaying radar images from the NOAA Ridge radar sites.
- DSLR Lightning Trigger – https://github.com/chaddotson/arduino-lightning-trigger
- Utilities
- CommanderPy – https://github.com/chaddotson/CommanderPY
This is a home automation type library. I wrote the first version of this before I had a smart phone (about 3 years ago) and its been running on my Linux “server” ever since. Basically, you configure it to watch a email address for commands. The set of commands it can respond to is customizable and there are some available out of the box. - Server Status – https://github.com/chaddotson/server-status
This is a collection of python modules that will attempt to ascertain if a web server is online by using pycurl to retrieve the designated webpage. If it is not, a handful of out of the box notifiers can be configured to let people know the server is not online. The set of testers and notifiers is extensible with custom classes.

- Puzzles – https://github.com/chaddotson/puzzles
- Python, Ruby, Rust, Scala, JavaScript N-Queens
- Misc
- Fortune – https://github.com/chaddotson/fortune
This started out as a couple of custom files for the native fortune application. I’ve now added a python implementation of a Fortune-ish script. It will read the same source files used to create the fortune databases. Added bonus is the make file to actually create Fortune databases.
