Hello, my name is Gordon Turner, I am a developer, creative, architect and leader. I have worked with technology my whole life, building and making things.
Someone described me once as a curious generalist, which stuck with me. I am curious about a lot of different things.
Professionally, I have worked on projects of widely varying scales and with established brands and smaller start ups. The work I have enjoyed and had the most success with were for projects where we are trying something new and innovative.
To get to know me better, check out my About page.
I have had many projects on the go over the years and I try to share what I have learned. The projects I have worked on have varied widely, from software and coding, to hardware and 3d printing.
Below are a selection of some of my projects, to see everything, checkout my blog.
An on-going series that details the steps to setup a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian to boot into a full screen web browser.
Includes hiding the mouse pointer, disabling screen saver, installing additional fonts and putting the Chromium in kiosk mode.
A project that created a network attached temperature probe. The device responded to a simple GET request with either JSON or xml response.
Project uses a Arduino UNO, Ethernet shield and a 1-Wire protocol temperature sensor.
A project to create a device to turn a computer screen on and off by responding to dramatic changes in ambient light. The device also has a manual power toggle and browser refresh button.
Project uses a Raspberry Pi, Raspbian, tvservice, Arduino Leonardo and electronics.
How to configure a Raspberry Pi to transmit IR output using the new kernel drivers, ir-keytable & ir-ctl, rather then LIRC.
Project uses ir-ctl and soldering of electrical components.
