Stirling engine testing

 

Testing the Stirling engine from aliexpress. 

A Stirling engine is a heat engine that is operated by the cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gas at different temperatures, resulting in a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work. 

As long as you have the fire, it works like a perpetual motion engine, generating the energy 

Arrives with LED, that can be connected to generator. Link to product:

Crypto currency prediction software for main currencies

After long trying and debugging, I finally finished a sophisticated deep learning design, taking in to account many factors. Currently I see who will be a next big market changer. I bet on one of the assets and lets see what will happen. The results should be enormous. I add a button to the up right corner of my blog for these people that want to share my hopes. You can buy my predictions for the next 100 days.
I write in Python.

Beaglebone tslib Ubuntu install

After I installed touchscreen it was a requirement to install tslib for testing.
I installed ubuntu with kernel 4.1 as described at http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu
Here are the commands for tslib install

sudo apt-get install libtool unzip automake

wget https://github.com/kergoth/tslib/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd tslib-master
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo su
cd
nano .bashrc

Add to the end of file

export TSLIB_FBDEVICE=/dev/fb0
export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event1
export TSLIB_CONFFILE=/usr/local/etc/ts.conf
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/

nano /usr/local/etc/ts.conf


Uncomment line: module_raw input

Reboot the board.

Now test the tslib

sudo su
ts_test
