  • Adventures in SteamDeck Development #3 – Remote Development with Visual Studio

    In this post we’ll get set up so that we can use Visual Studio to remotely develop on SteamDeck (or any Linux box). We’ll add a remote connection (with troubleshooting), walk through remote-compiling and remote-debugging a simple Hello-World program using a Visual Studio Linux (VSLinux) project, and then at the end make a graphical-application running…

  • Adventures in SteamDeck Development #1 – Connecting to your deck via SSH

    This post covers setting a password and enabling ssh on deck, setting up ssh keys, connecting to the deck via a terminal on your desktop PC and trying a test-compile to see how things work (or not) out of the box.

  • Adventures in Robotics #1

    In which I build my first ever robot… and then immediately connect it to the internet! (SkyNET won’t make itself you know! :D)
