MPC-HC 1.7.8 arrow mouse pointer version
2015-03-10 20:56:16 · Author: Wudi · Tagged with: Computer Software, Hack | Comments
MPC-HC (Media Player Classic Home Cinema) has an annoying problem that confused me for years. So I used the old Media Player Classic 6.4 which was released in 2006 all the time.

But now, due to the 64-bit version of Win 7 and Win 8.1 operating system, it's time to replace the old media player.

Referring to a bug reported on MPC-HC's website, I searched through the source code of MPC-HC and made some modifications. Eventually, all the 4 places need to modify was fixed to the default style of old MPC 6.4.

Below is the mouse pointer assigment from original version:



Below is the modified version, same to MPC 6.4:

Algorithm for finding nearby places - Geohash
2014-05-29 15:21:16 · Author: Wudi · Tagged with: Geohash, GPS, C/C++ | Comments (1)
Geohash is a well-known algorithm for searching nearby places. Today, on the regular meeting of laboratory, I talked about the idea and C implementation of this algorithm. Now, I shared the slideshow here for reference.

Download: http://blog.wudilabs.org/uploads/geohash_ppt_by_wudi.pdf (Chinese)





If you have looked at it, you may found there is an C implementation for geohash. Now, the basic functions of this library have been completed. After I clean it up, I will publish it together with a NMEA parser library which do not use malloc dynamic memory allocation.

Getting the audio waveform data of media file using ffmpeg.exe in C#
2013-12-30 10:32:51 · Author: Wudi · Tagged with: C# & .NET, Audio Processing | Comments (3)
Previously, I use the NAudio library to implement this function. It needs to extract the audio track of a media file to a separate WAV file to deal with. Even with the help of RAM disk, the processing speed is still very slow.

Yesterday, I searched again for the usable audio processing library in C#. But there is still no better choice. Finally, the popular cross-platform command line tools mencoder, ffmpeg and so on came into my head. The ffmpeg seems to work because it support stdout output.

At first, I tried to output the binary stream in WAV format to stdout. But I found that in this situation, ffmpeg will write a placeholder for size information in head, and seek back to rewrite it after the whole stream is outputed (source). When the output target is the stdout stream instead of a file, this rewriting operation will fail, which causes the obtained WAV stream to have wrong head information and cannot be used.

The reason that I use WAV format is just because it is the most familiar audio format that storing raw waveform data. But after read the documentation of ffmpeg, I found that it supports a great many formats. It can output integers or floats directly, without head information. At last I selected the little endian 32-bit float format.

Music Beat Tracker Demo
2013-11-19 13:15:06 · Author: Wudi · Tagged with: Beat Tracker, Audio Processing, Music, Electronic | Comments
I wrote a realtime music beat tracker algorithm based on FPGA and ARM these days.

The prototype of this algorithm is written in M-code of MATLAB. The video below is the lighting effect demonstration using the result from MATLAB. Pay attention to select high definition or above quality when watching, or the intensity of frame may change due to compression.


At present, the computational load of this algorithm is too heavy and memory usage is too large. Moreover, it failed to achieve the expected effect. So I will try to develop a new algorithm with smaller computational complexity.

The video below is a few days earlier. It is the music beat tracker preview to the last song "True Romance" in the video above.

入手赛克 858D 热风拆焊台
2013-07-30 23:51:06 · Author: 五帝 · Tagged with: DIY, Electronic | Comments
买不买热风枪这个问题纠结了我两年多，因为这玩意买来后用的机会实在是太少了。业余做点东西不会选 BGA 封装的芯片，因此热风枪的用途就只剩拆元件了，还得是拆烙铁不好搞定的元件。

不过最近遇到几次需要拆 USB 插座和 LQFP 封装芯片的情况，没热风枪还真是很难弄，用烙铁拆很容易拆坏。因此决定买一个热风枪了，但毕竟用的机会还是很少，所以体积绝对不能大，这样不用的时候收到哪也省地。

在淘宝上搜了一圈，发现主要有四种热风枪类型。第一种是下面这种长的像电吹风的，看着就不像拆元件用的。



第二种是这种很便宜的 8032 便携式热风枪，电机、发热芯、调节旋钮都在手柄上，光看外观就有一股浓浓的山寨气息。应该不好用，也不耐用。



第三种是有气泵的 850 气泵式热风拆焊台，这种很专业了，很多人推荐。但是这种有气泵的拆焊台的最大问题就是体积太大了，顶部还有一个提手，想在上边摞一个 936 焊台都不行。非数显的型号是 850 或 850A，数显的型号是 850+ 或 850D 等。



第四种就是我最终选择的 858 无刷风机拆焊台，风扇和发热芯在手柄中，其余控制及电源电路在机箱中。非数显的型号是 858，数显的型号是 858D。



下面这个图片中标明了尺寸，13.0cm(H)*10.0cm(W)*14.7cm(L) 的体积和前面 850 的 13.5cm(H)*18.7cm(W)*24.5cm(L) 相比小了很多。可以直接摞在 936 焊台上，很节省空间。



下面是 858 热风台和 936 焊台摆在一块时的尺寸对比。



在确定 858D 这个型号后，还要考虑买哪个牌子的。在淘宝上搜“858D”按销量排序，排在前面的有谊华、安赛、安泰信、森沃、赛克和快克这几个牌子，快克的贵出一截直接排除了，听着耳生、价格也相对低的那几个牌子看评论有反映各种小问题的。最后在安泰信和赛克中选择了赛克，安泰信的评论中有点人反映加热时味道比较大，赛克的看着是没什么问题，另外比安泰信的还稍便宜点。

EEVBlog 的 David 评测过安泰信的 858D+ 热风台，他是在 2011 年时从中国买的，机器加运费一共 82 澳元，按当时的汇率合 500 多元人民币了。大陆当时淘宝上估计最多也就卖 200 吧，咱们这买这些设备价格还是很好的。
