Our box actually wasn't disabled - just the network. We were getting hit with > 1 Gbps of bandwidth inbound. Prior to the DDoS, we were handling the traffic quite well with a single 1GB RAM box. At times we were pushing around 20MB&

It's Bluetooth Low Energy. We wrote a very basic Node.js library we're using to control it right now. You can check out the code here: https://github.com/lavallc/ionode Documentation is yet to come, but it wi

Haha, we actually did think about this when building it. The smartphone notification feature is a major selling point, but we also wanted it to be useful without a phone. The touch sensitive cap lets you cycle through all the 'moods&#x

This was actually the solution I almost went with, but found I could achieve a higher frame rate and lower bandwidth usage with jsmpeg. We're located in Flint, Michigan and using a DigitalOcean box hosted in NYC. I haven't run any

We have thought about it, but we would need to either make a smaller version of the lamp or have less LEDs (a compromise we weren't willing to make). We pull close to 2A with the 40 LEDs right now. Most USB supplies and ports output ar

A year or two ago - definitely. But as of today, I would disagree. Apple has been shipping BTLE in their devices since the 4S. All flagship Android phones have been shipping with BTLE for over a year (with official SDK support added in 4.3)

Yup, ffmpeg to a node.js script that is rebroadcasting over websockets. We tried 4-5 live streaming services and could not find one that had latency lower than 10-15 seconds (if not more).
