Statistics and Contributions

Please find below my competencies, scaled from Left ( More expertize ) to Right ( Less expertize )

Languages

Languages are crucial in DevOps for scripting, automation, and development. Python and Bash are particularly important due to their widespread use in automation and system scripting.

                     

Cloud Platforms + Management + CI/CD + Automation

Tools and platforms for cloud management, version control, and automation are at the heart of DevOps. Kubernetes, Docker, and Jenkins are particularly significant for container orchestration, containerization, and continuous integration/continuous deployment.

                         

OS + Hardware

Operating systems, particularly Linux distributions, are fundamental in DevOps for server management, scripting, and running applications.

jaccuse's Issues

Have the python script begin at startup

Required:
Allow the script to launch on startup so that just powering on the pi is sufficient to begin the program

Replace if logic with a dictionary

Instead of using if statements, we can use a dictionary
psuedocode: directionDict ={"up" : 0, "down": 180, etc}
we can set it with sense.set_rotation(directionDict[event.direction])

Fix how double digits are handled

Currently, single digits are shown via sense.show_letter(), which can handle single letters
We can not use this when we use numbers >= 10, so we have a workaround of using sense.show_message()
we need to fix this since sense.show_message() scrolls the value past and this is problematic for any time greater than a second

Function Decorations

jaccuse/main.py

Line 97 in 7e10ab5

def change(canvas, paint):

You can give functions decorations like:
def change(canvas:list, paint:list) -> None:
Then when you hover your mouse over change it'll show you the inputs/output types and the -> is the return type

[BREAK] - counter can not go past zero

the program breaks when the counter goes past 99
Need to find a way to handle that. maybe error handling?

Add a button that restarts the timer

• this is a critical feature and should be top priority

A way to count in all time periods

An issue is that you have to pick the time periods
A request for a new feature is to start the timer and it automatically changes the time period
if 60s, period = minute
if 60m, period = hour
if 24h, period = day

Add a hold down button feature to power end/restart script

Duration Dictionary Idea

jaccuse/main.py

Line 196 in 7e10ab5

if duration == "sec":

Instead of this block:

if duration == "sec":
    update_display(counter, duration)
    sleep(1)
    counter += 1
elif duration == "min":
    update_display(counter, duration)
    sleep(60)
    counter += 1
elif duration == "hour":
    update_display(counter, duration)
    sleep(3600)
    counter += 1
elif duration == "day":
    update_display(counter, duration)
    sleep(86400)
    counter += 1
else:
    print("error")
    break

You can have a dictionary like:
duration_dict = {"sec":1, "minute":60, "hour":3600, "day":86400}
And then replace the block with:

if duration:
    update_display(counter, duration)
    sleep(duration_dict[duration])
    counter += 1
else:
    print("error")
    break

Optimize the LED painting function

Need to upgrade and optimize the following functions

• change()
• update_display()

Add a red led flash when the button is pushed

Let the user know the reset will occur
maybe even with a countdown?

Direction idea

jaccuse/main.py

Line 42 in 7e10ab5

if event.direction == "up": # Up button

You can make this just a few lines like:

if event.action == "pressed":
    # Check which direction
    if event.direction == "middle":
        flipped = False # exits the loop
   sense.set_rotation(direction_dict[event.direction])
   sense.show_letter(arrow)    

You could also do:
if event.direction in ["up", "down", "left", "right"]:
