Blog is finally ready

published:
After writing numerous articles in markdown format, i finally found time to choose and install an appropriate blog-software for my domain blog.emtwo.ch. My personal goal is to be able to share new ideas, findings and interesting points in me life as developer (mostly C#, JavaScript, Html) and my personal life.

Who are you emtwo? Why this name?

Let me explain why I use the name "emtwo" frequently (emwtomusic on spotify, emtwocode on MSDN, ...). At my university, the HSR Hochschule für Technik Rapperswil (http://www.hsr.ch), btw. the most beautiful place to study..., the user-account m2schnyd was asigned to my student's account. As you can see, "emtwo" is just the left part of this user-account. ;)

HSR, University Of Applied Sciences, Rapperswil (Switzerland)


I graduated in 2011 with a bachelor degree in software engineering an started to work as C# Developer at Zühlke Engineering, Schlieren (Switzerland), Link: http://www.zuehlke.com/ch/en/
Besides my work as Senior Software Egineer in different customer projects at Zühlke, a teach a .NET Enterprise Develpment Course a the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland FHNW, http://www.fhnw.ch

Contact

As usual, you can find my an various other platforms including LinkedIn, Xing, Twitter and GitHub. Ah yes, the is an about.me-page, too.

Can't wait to publish many more articles covering .NET Stuff, Azure, Home-Networking, Eletric powered vehicles and many more. Hope to see you soon

This guide will help to you to setup home assistant as a docker container and make it publicly available behind a ngix proxy, all running in containers. Additionally, we'll use certbot to keep your ssl certificates in sync and Duck DNS so that you access it even with a dynamic ip address. There we go... Dockerized Home Assistant behind Nginx with Let's Encrypt and DuckDNS :) This guide is partially based on the generic guide on how to install Ngix and Let's Encrypt by Philipp ( Nginx and Let’s Encrypt with Docker in Less Than 5 Minutes | by Philipp | Medium ) In order to start, please make sure you have the following setups done already Home Assistant installed as docker container and available under port 8123 Create a DuckDNS account and register your subdomain You know how to redirect a port from your router to the computer running docker We'll be using docker-compose, which is much simpler to use than the plain docker cli. If you are not familiar with docker-compose,

Use Bodmer TFT_eSPI Library with PlatformIO

published:

If you start playing around with TFT on your ESP8266 or ESP32, you will arrive at the excellent TFT_eSPI Library by Bodmer . It's not only magnitudes faster than the Adafruit driver , it's also comes with support for a wide range of display drivers. Test results of the TFT_eSPI library Unfortunately it has one catch: The library is not really ready to be included as a library in your projects as it requires adjustments in the library itself. While it's not uncommon to define your settings with #define directives, this library expects you to patch files to configure it . The official way goes like this Locate the library folder (Windows would be Documents\Arduino\libraries\TFT_eSPI ) and create your own setup in the library sub folder User_Setups To use your configuration, patch the file User_Setup_Select.h  to include your configuration This has obviously some disadvantages. At latest when you wan't to update the library or work with different screens at the same tim

Migrating from Arduino IDE to Visual Studio Code to PlatformIO

published:

Like every other beginner on ESP8266 I started with my first steps in the official Arduino IDE. I was impressed by the simplicity and easy to use examples that were build-in to the UI. Also the simple UI made it easy to start in uncharted land, especially for someone that did never develop embedded firmware. The library manager let me install additional libraries to play around with, and it also mostly worked. Standard Arduino Editor (IDE) Needless to say, I missed a lot of the features that I was used to from more powerful IDE's like IntelliJ or Visual Studio. I think even Visual Basic 6 had a better IntelliSense support than the Arduino IDE. In fact, Arduino IDE has none. Also, the lack of a dependency management (for libraries) makes it really hard to share code between multiple peers, as you have to manually install the correct version of a library in the global libraries folder. Guess what happens if you use different versions? But overall the Arduino IDE is a g
