So I've been working on this for the past few weeks When I first started to mess around with RTKLIB I've wanted to have a nice UI to do that, while researching it I came across a product from drotek.com which already has a nice UI and I was glad to find its an open source (!!). So I decided to sit down and take a look at it, at first I was a little dissapointed to see it worked on Intel Edison Only as I didn't find this board particularly interesting and now...

Emulating COM Ports on Windows
My computer is not near a window, but I do need to get data from my GPS to RTKLIB hosting program I'm rebuilding.

OpenSprinkler using ESP8266
"If necessity is the mother of invention, then laziness is the father." - attributed to Allen Dale Sometime ago I've read about OpenSprinkler (source code) and I had to try it, I was a bit dissapointed when first I saw it worked on Raspberry PI Zero, but then I saw other boards it might work on, until I've found a port to ESP8266 and decided to give it a go, but I should also note there's an official ESP8266 OpenSprinkler with Source Code. The design I chose to start with is pretty primitive, I didn't want any LCD or RTC,...
