Taking Stuff Apart: Oster Battery Charger

-
I came across a battery charger for some heavy duty animal shears.  The thing had a nice heft to it.  Inside there were a couple relays, a barrel jack, some big caps and a bunch of ICs which I haven't looked up the part numbers for.

After opening it up it was apparent the failure was a diode that somehow cracked in half.  There were magic smoke stains on the underside and everything.

Here it is, as always click the pictures for higher resolution and additional pictures:

Easy and accurate SVG to DXF conversion using Inkscape and pstoedit

-
If you've ever worked with a vector tool to design something to be carved with a CNC routing machine, you may have needed to convert the resulting SVG file into a DXF. In my workflow I often use Inkscape to generate my SVG graphic, but my CAD software is CamBam and it requires a DXF file.

Many people have tried to make the perfect Inkscape plugin for exporting DXF, there is Better DXF Export, Better Better DXF Export and Big Blue Saw's DXF Export. I've had the most luck with the last one, but it was still finicky and often broke when updating Inkscape or OSX. Not only that, but at the end of the Big Blue Saw page, Simon mentions that he doesn't even use the plugin most of the time, instead relying on a command line tool called pstoedit.

With that in mind I made a small shell script which will convert an SVG file to DXF, you can save the script and run it directly or add the functions to your startup script.

The script is available on github under the project svgToDxf. …

Automated builds with Netbeans Platform 8.0.2

-
I've been converting UGS to run on the Netbeans Platform over the past week, and in general its been great.  The features and documentation I used while migrating UGS away from Swing were very well done. So aside from a couple hiccups, the Netbeans Platform has been great. Until a few days ago when I decided it was time to integrate my new changes with my Jenkins CI server.

It turns out that you can't build a Netbeans Platform application without connecting to the Netbeans IDE first. This has to do with the extra modules, platform components and build harness. Searching the subject online provides a lot of documentation, everything I've found is either out dated, contradictory, or I could only get it working with a new project and not my existing one.

The final solution was so simple, and minimally invasive that I wanted to create this blog post.

There are 4 interesting files for a Netbeans Platform build:
build.xml - Some documentation suggests adding a download-netbeans-r…

Netbeans Platform: Mac OSX App Bundle and Embedded JRE with Maven

-
One problem every Java Desktop developer has to deal with is that Java apps just don't act like native applications. Whether it's the JRE dependency, the swing look and feel, or just bad memories about slow performance in old versions of Java. On Mac OSX there is an additional hurdle where users expect their applications to be a .app bundle inside a DMG image with a shortcut to /Application allowing them to drag/drop the installation. The built in Netbeans Platform installer is nice, but it's a far cry from the native behavior.

With that in mind, I'm going to describe how you can really step up your Netbeans Platform Maven build to include an OSX deployment with a bundled JRE all packaged up as an APP inside a DMG image. What a mouth full.

All of the source code for my implementation in Universal Gcode Sender can be found on GitHub in this commit. The techniques used in this post were heavily inspired (and in many cases copy/pasted from) the Gephi project, which has a …
