Here you will find some software that I have developed.

Altough, pretty much all of the technically related software I have made, has been related to one employer or another, most of it is not in the public domain.

Back then, around 2000, I was interested in terrain information (topography) mainly to be used with the then new Flight Simulator 2000. I managed to format the freely available elevation data for the continental and insular Mexican terrain into a usable format for the Microsoft Flight Simulator.

It involved reverse engineering the data format, (not really hard, since it was mainly a binary pack of sequentially arranged fixed size matrix format)

I used some Octave script files to accomplish the whole 255+ tiles without much interaction.

This flirting with the MSFS led, naturally, to me wanting to make my own simulated Cockpit, and I ended up dazzled at the mathematical model of the Stewart-Gough Platform or Hexapod, I thus modelled the inverse kinematic relations and made an animated depiction of it. It is also in here. archivos Based on a couple of reports from INRIA, provided by a Fellow Engineer in France at that time.

Of course, by them I was hooked to the beauty of the plataform, and what better complement than a set of space-state based filters to model the human sensory system, to be able to use the Platform to induce motion perception, without the human (the pilot) noticing the actual limits of the platform... sweet

By the time I was able to fully implement the algorithms into something more practical, my wife announced that our first born would be arriving soon, so i decide to put this on hold... and unfortunately, it has been so ever since...

I based some of this work in a set of U of Toronto UTIAS technical reports, courtesy of Dr. Reid

Recently, I became interested in Slide Rules and Nomography, a lost mathematical art...

I made a couple of slide rules in PDF, mainly using Postscript and some Matlab scripts to make things easier...

I hope to keep adding to this list.
