Using Surface Dial as throttle in Train Sim World 2
Surface Dial wheel’s direction can be mapped to any keyboard event. However, Train Sim World 2 requires the key A, D to be pressed for longer to register a change.
The solution is to use AutoHotkey to create a script which translates one key combination into a long press of A or D.
1. Create a Train Sim World 2 entry in Windows 10 Settings > Devices > Wheel (browse for the game executable located under [Steam Folder]\steamapps\common\Train Sim World 2\WindowsNoEditor\TS2Prototype\Binaries\Win64\TS2Prototype-Win64-Shipping.exe)
2. Add the mapping for an unused keyboard shortcut combination in the game (for example CTRL+ ALT + A )
3. Create an AutoHotkey Script which does the mapping from the key combination to a long press. (Install AutoHotkey and create a file train_sim_world_dial.ahk with a text editor)
^!a::
Send, {a Down}
Sleep, 300
Send, {a Up}
Return
^!d::
Send, {d Down}
Sleep, 300
Send, {d Up}
Return
You can now use the Surface Dial to change the throttle speed in the game.

Using Cheap China Microscope with Micro-Manager on Windows
In order for Micro-Manager to recognize my cheap china microscope, I needed to patch the provided OpenCVGrabber driver.
The original version of the driver always selected the first USB camera available, and did not pass validation of the configuration for the webcam driver from the microscope.
As Micro-Manager is Open Source, I looked into making a patch. The new version which supports camera selection from a dropdown by name. Is available for windows 10 and Version 2.0 beta of Micro-Manger:
- Install Version 2.0 beta
- Download the compiled mmgr_dal_OpenCVgrabber.dll
- Replace it in the folder of Micro-Manager x64 c:\Program Files\Micro-Manager-2.0beta
Status for integration into the application can be followed on the pull request.

Bonita Studio tutoriel vidéo
Durant le cours d’Intégration des systèmes d’information d’entreprise 2011 du Master en Système d’information de HEC Lausanne, j’ai enregistré une série de vidéos démontrant l’utilisation de Bonita Studio sur un cas pratique “Travel Expenses“.
Les vidéos sont disponibles sur YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB6EA69FBFAFDC459) et couvres les thèmes suivants :
- User Experience
- sous-processus
- Données & Données complexe
- Formulaires
- Messages
- connecteur REST groovy
- connecteur mail
- connecteur MySQL
Le cas Travel Expenses traite la demande, la consolidation et la vérification de notes de frais pour des voyages de collaborateurs.
- Enoncé détaillé du cas (Exercice de modélisation BPMN) TravelExpensesEnonce.pdf
- Enoncé du travail pratique (Exercice Bonita) TravelExpensesBonita.pdf
- Solultion exemple sous Bonita Studio (Fichiers bar) demo_ISIE_TravelExpenses.zip
- La solution propose:
- un processus principal TravelManagement ,
- qui interagit avec un processus TravelBooking ,
- et qui a également un sous processus ReportExpenses
Ressources supplémentaires
Pour permettre l’échange des données entres processus avec une seule variable, plusieurs objets complexe ont été créés: TravelPlan contient un Hotel et une liste d’Expense. De plus ces objets ont une méthode toHtml et toString pour faciliter l’affichage dans un formulaire Bonita.
