Best way to clean the extruder nozzle of a 3D printer

From Isaac Budmen:

1. Heat the nozzle to 200C
2. Run Nylon filament through the extruder
3. With Nylon in the nozzle, reduce the temperature to 135C, and once there let it sit for a minute
4. Slowly but firmly work the filament out of the top of the extruder


This has worked very well for me a couple of times. Here is how the filament looks like when I take it out of the extruder (repeat steps 1-4 until it comes out clean):

Using a Raspberry Pi running raspbmc to sync Fitbit One with galileo (fitbit linux sync)

(it should work with any other Debian-based Raspberry Pi distribution and all newer Fitbit devices that use BLE)
sudo -i
apt-get update
apt-get install python-pip
pip install galileo
galileo

You can then use cron or a simple shell script to periodically run galileo.

Converting a sketch or a library from Arduino IDE 0023 to Arduino 1.0

  • instead of including wiring.h, WProgram.h, WConstants.h and pins_arduino.h, you only need Arduino.h

  • Wire.send() is now Wire.write(), Wire.receive() is now Wire.read()

    • If you get error messages like "call of overloaded ‘write(int)’ is ambiguous", you probably need to add "(byte)" before a constant argument, eg: Wire.write((byte)0x00);

  • It is possible to use conditional statements to write code that is compatible with older and newer versions, eg:
    #if ARDUINO >= 100
    #include "Arduino.h"
    #else
    #include "WProgram.h"
    #endif
