However those frameworks are very handy to do all of this developers need to code a lot to implement every pretrained model, data loaders, data preprocessing, train loop and evaluation loop. Therefore we made a complex script which put all that together for every developer.</p> <p>Related repository coming soon.</p>rixel

NewsCenter is just a news player application. It offers a simple UI in news television style and it can be widely configured with rule files. Rules are simple and well documented. You can connect the application with your favorite speech synthesizer and enjoy the best news playlist you had ever heard.</p> <p>Related repository coming soon.</p>rixel

Yet today Android auto is available in 36 countries. Surprisingly not all EU countries are on that list. There are lot of vehicles out there which could act and serve much smarter. Therefore we develop rixelAuto.</p> <p>Instead of just mirroring your phone to the car’s device our software offer much more. Aside of the common functions like navigation, media playing and internet services we offer security services, a full office, games and artificial intelligence based functions as well. With some accessories our device offers visual detection of traffic signals, traffic lights, pedestrians, bicycles and motorcycles. The software helps you with prediction of other participants in the traffic. It warns you in case of too small distances or potential collision and it observes the driver’s emotions and actions to predict tiredness and other conditions that affects to the driver’s driving capability.</p> <p>Related repositories and more informations coming soon.</p>rixel

Everywhere means from middle size gardens to large fields and from urban parks to industrial zones as well. Therefore the flexibility and performance are essential musts.</p> <p>However string trimming doesn’t seem to be one of the hardest human activities to write a software framework for that special task is really though. The framework should perform several tasks at the same time continuously:</p> <ul> <li>manage communication with all devices</li> <li>calculate and store position</li> <li>sense environment</li> <li>calculate space to go and to trim</li> <li>drive the device according to calculations</li> <li>avoid accidents</li> <li>validate work efficiency</li> <li>validate condition of tools</li> <li>communicate with the user via local terminal (touch screen)</li> <li>listen and communicate via wifi</li> <li>communicate with software and/or maintenance center</li> </ul> <p>To perform all those task we have to use as cheap hardware as possible to be able to offer a low market price for our potential buyers. Therefor we decided to use micro computers Raspberry Pi mark 3 and 4 and NVidia Jetson Nano. Jetsons are responsible for visual and artificial intelligence tasks in general, Raspberries are everything else.</p> <p>Related repositories and more informations coming soon.</p>rixel

This module allows faster access to Tesseract-OCR from Python scripts.</p> <p>This module is always faster than common Tesseract-OCR wrappers like pytesseract because it uses direct access to Tesseract-OCR’s core library instead of calling its executable.</p> <p>The specification of the connection to the library is based on the <a href="from here: https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/tesseract/blob/master/src/api/capi.cpp">source code</a>.</p>rixel

They help computers to sense that world. Before we use a sensor in a real-world machine it’s a must to know every parameters of it. Some important attributes are mentioned in guides and data sheets but to get to know the real-world behavior worths some testing or even some fine tuning as well.</p> <p>Therefore we publish our <a href="https://github.com/hyperrixel/ultrasonic_sensor_test">repository</a> which includes a small script that helps to be more familiar with the strength and limits of you ultrasonic distance sensor.</p>rixel

Therefore we built a small script that makes testing the behavior of a PWM controller very easy and straightforward because you can give commands to the controller runtime.</p> <p>The repository is available <a href="https://github.com/hyperrixel/pwm_test">here</a>.</p>rixel

Since almost everything is a file on Unix systems from a certain view it’s just a file reader tool. However it has a very straightforward advantage; you don’t have to read it.</p> <p>The script itself doesn’t accepts any parameters at the moment but we’ll might change this behavior in the future. Therm uses python 3 but is equipped with shebang to be able to work for you right after you download it.</p> <p>You can find the repository <a href="https://github.com/hyperrixel/therm">here</a>.</p>rixel
