Computer Dudes announces - LIDAR for Raspberry Pi 4b or other single board computers.

Some other systems can be found on GetHub.

Here is our first prototype LIDAR using a Raspberry Pi 4b Hat.

https://www.okdo.com/getting-started/get-started-with-lidar-hat-for-raspberry-pi/

LIDAR is for Drone Detection and Mapping.

LIDAR is now an option for our #solaronemonolith

Computer Dudes has just completed the worlds first automated surveillance, reporting, facial recognition system - that includes active and passive defenses for jobsites, industry, malls or any location.

This product line is for individuals, corporations, utilities, industry and government.

All components are human friendly and safe for workers and visitors - but can notify and defend against thieves, robbers, vandals or any other threat.

Go, Computer Dudes, Go!!

Computer Dudes is NOT HIRING at this time but we will in a month or so.

Practice your skills - we will need more techs and engineers in a month or so and again in the Fall of 2023.

It is sad to report but Neither Computer Dudes nor any of our Banks are going under.

In fact, we have no debt. Something we would recommend to any corporation or human.

Sure, we had to work for it and still work for it but that is OK, because that is what we do. ;)T

"Maverick" is a word much older than Top Gun, Tom Cruise, and even the first Airplane.

A Maverick is a motherless calf, unbranded, on the open range.

Using Maverick as a human name or as an adjective describing a human personality type came much later.

Check it out! :)T

Some of us came up with a giant "wiener" shaped Weather Balloon and a sensor pack for it to carry to launch from the West Coast or Alaska and let it fly over China.
Not kidding - I have worked on weather balloon and microsat / sensors for decades. The National Weather Service has a weather balloon launch site here in Tallahassee, Florida so we see them go up all the time.
Nothing to be afraid of.
People and Governments have been using weather and other balloons for much longer than computers have even been in existance. :)T

Some of you were looking for Raspberry Pi's and others were working on Robots

Check this source out. Parallax also makes a complete line of small robots, sensors, cameras and all sorts of education projects too.

They are very cooperative with Teachers and Classrooms at all levels and have lessons along with source material and projects online and in live scheduled events.

I have used Parallax for decades. Bookmark it for sensors and lessons. :)

Your pal,
Todd

We have solutions for NASA - Solar Panel Cleaning devices that were developed on The Computer Dudes, Inc's SolarOneMonolith project.

Our project is outdoor data centers on Earth.

We offer our designs to NASA and Other Space Agencies as part of the project Data as well as for future use.

NASA's Mars Mission InSight - which lasted longer than expected, was ultimately killed by the Solar Panels being covered by Martian Dust.

Our solutions for the Solaronemonolith series outdoor computers solar panels are - Fans, Wiper Blade, Raking Device - Shovel Device, Ultrasonics, Low Frequency Sound, Ionic Charge, Ionic Fan, Drones, and Heaters.

All "cleaning systems" would be on a different power system than the computer or spacecraft power system.

We offer no criticism of NASA - their mission was very successful and lasted longer than was originally planned. :)T

All #solaronemonolith - Off Grid, Outdoor, Cluster Type Supercomputers now come with a "manual" power generation option.

Yes - if the grid is down, the solar panels are broken, the batteries are dead - a person may manually rotate a 20W generator - to boot the computers, run a laptop or recharge a cell phone.

Zero Emissions, Zero waste. DC and AC Power.

I believe it is another "First of its Kind"

Go, Computer Dudes and American Engineering! :)T

Today we were studying long-term Solar and Weather Damage to our outdoor supercomputers of the #solaronemonolith class.

No system failures. No Core failures.

Much heavier damage to semi-clear plastic covers of the battery compartment were discovered.
AEFlorida (our engineering group) already designed a replacement made with glass, steel, stone. or carbon fiber. :)T

Our #solaronemonolith and the worlds first Monolithic Off-Grid Solar Data Center have become a minor attraction here just South of Tallahassee, Florida.
The Granite Monoliths are quite beautiful in the Sun or at Night. People drive by slowly or stop on the street out front to take a look several times a day.
We put signs on the fence next to the road explaining the project and listing some of the technical specs.
Good Job Computer Dudes! :)T

Hey! This is Todd.

I am still on medical restriction from working for a month or so as I recover from my open heart surgery about 2 weeks ago.

It is slow going and painful but I am making progress every day and the medical people are sending 2 nurses by my house each week - one for case managment and one for physical therapy.

I am under orders not to lift anything weighing more than 10 lbs.

Thanks for everyones concern and all the kind note, emails and discussions on LinkedIn.

More soon. Thanks - Todd

Hi, I am Thomas Riker, I am an engineer out of New Orleans helping cover the SE United States with Computer Dudes products and services.

As many of you are aware our Founder and the inventor of the #solaronemonolith recently had chest pains and went to the Hospital. Todd is out of the Hospital now but must return for Open Heart Surgery next week or the following week.

Todd transferred command of Computer Dudes to me this morning.

He plans to return in 6 to 12 weeks. Until then the rest of the Computer Dudes and their engineers will continue operations normally.

You have my word on this. :)

Network and Workstation Virtualization Starts Here:

Use "Baremetal" Servers with No Clouds or Command Consoles for most secure operation

ALERT: As our confidence in Windows Operating Systems continues to decline we would like to advise all our friends and clients to P2V any critical Windows Systems that they have online or in critical systems and servers.

Virtualization allows safe operation and quick restoration of any computers that fail.

Virtualized systems can be kept safe and monitored externally in real time behind your companies routers and DMZ.

Virtualized Systems on local servers with offsite data center backup and redundant backups.

Cellular or WiFi Data can be less Expensive than a Satellite Link for remote projects and Data Centers.

We have several versions of Cellular Data available for our #solaronemonolith products and outdoor off-grid data centers.

Why should Data Centers have ANY power bill or even a building with this level of technology? ;)

ALERT: Facebook and groups supporting Facebook and Meta are Phishing all the other Social Networks currently - including LinkedIn, for new members or for people to rejoin Facebook.

It has happened to me quite a few times and several of my employees and dozens of my friends in the last 2 weeks.

Personally, I just drop and block them, like I do other spammers, or bots.

Pass the word. Let people know not to get #phished by #facebook.

Friends don't allow each other to get phished or conned. Spread the word.

Computer Dudes received their first Wind Turbine to double the power available at our Site One Solar Monolithic Data Center. #solaronemonolith

Our Outdoor Solar Data Centers require no Grid Tie or Data Line.

Design life using Granite, Steel and Glass as well as modular replaceable parts is 100 years.

Zero Power Bill. Wifi, Satellite, Fiber or Wired Data are all options.

Multiple Power Inputs including Backup Generators keep the outdoor data centers running around the clock in any weather.

I can't wait to see the 5 bladed Wind Turbine up and in action.

It provides from 200 to 600 Watts according to wind speed and the wind is always blowing in North Florida. :)T

Thats 10 degrees below freezing. Most batteries fail at Freezing temps or below.

Good Job to all Design and Engineering teams - we have another record. :)Todd

4 Intel small form factor Supercomputers, heavy in DDR4 memory ordered today.

Our #solaronemonolith now has an Intel and AMD motherboard for our scalable computer core, Gordo.

Gordo is round and scalable to any size motherboard and a large number of computer run in our "Gordo Supercomputer Core."

Our newest version, announced here, will be the "Gordo-4i" which means it uses 4 Intel Motherboards.

No building, no emissions, no power-bill, no grid-tie. Wifi or Satellite Data Link. Sensor and Controller ready.

The RPI now has a Cellular Phone Adapter for 3 and 4G cellular communications and data.

It fits on top of a standard Raspberry Pi 4B.

We are also upgrading our RPI #solaronemonolith series to have a LED indicator on the Power over Ethernet adapter.

These machines are incredibly powerful if setup correctly. :)T
