Fading LEDs with sine wave
Hi everybody, the purpose of this post is to explain a simple technique concerning LED fading. One common issue in fading a LED is blocking the execution of the loop() in a for loop as long as it performs the fading. This approach wastes a lot of resources since the microcontroller can only perform this action…

Parallel K-Means for image clustering using NVidia Cuda
!! The code is available on my gitHub toskyRocker account!! K-Means is commonly used for cluster analysis and data mining. For a better insight of this algorithm I suggest to read this. A brief explanation of how it works is shown below. K-Means scheme K centroids, one of each cluster, are chosen with an heuristic method….
