Welcome to jvmGeek! This new blog aims to talk and discuss about the JVM ecosystem, with news and articles discussing about Java – the language -, and also about other JVM languages such as Scala, Kotlin or Clojure.

Last Friday I got some spare time (finally!) and, with the help and tools of my friend Alfredo, we placed a button in the RaspberryPi case so, when I push it, a custom command its executed on the RaspberryPi, like for example, a clean system shutdown. First lets start with some pictures of the final result: And now the schematics (pins used in the schematics are 3.3v, GND and GPIO):

Ya llevaba tiempo tratando de empezar con la astrofotografía con webcam, pero entre unas cosas y otras siempre lo dejaba para otro momento. Al final el pasado día 6 de Junio me decidí a intentarlo. Tras unos cuantos intentos por usar un adaptado hecho con la funda de un carrete de fotos, acabé sujetando la webcam al portaocular con una simple goma que me dieron mis abuelos la última vez que estuve en Madrid (¡hay que ver lo que a uno le puede hacer falta en algunos momentos!
