Welcome to Marmot Land 

Marmots, especially Italian ones, have a very diverse interest in entertainment and business.   Because of this you can expect anything to appear here.
 
If you want to know a little more about me then look here: About Me

Marmotta-Photoart
First and foremost I support  Marmotta PhotoArt.  This is the photographic business and website of the chief Marmot, Krys Bailey.  You will find Krys's work out there and she has sold images to many respected businesses and private individuals worldwide. Biography and Business Clients. 
 
Please do take a moment to at least look at her work.  You may even want to buy something.  The diverse collection of images may include a favourite or planned holiday location or identify animals you have seen but weren't sure what they were.  From Flora to Fauna, Landscape to Seascape or just plain old Transport images there will be something pleasing for just about everyone.


Debra Charity Logo  Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) Research Association
I support the DEBRA Charity through my Free Software by asking my users to please DONATE if you like my software. 

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a group of genetic skin conditions that cause the skin to blister and tear at the slightest touch.

More Specifically / In Life - this gives you an idea of how devastating EB is.

Please help fight EB and donate!

WHY CHOOSE MY SOFTWARE
 
Simply because my software is free and supports charity which I truly hope you will.  I provide support at weekends (when I'm home), I innovated often long before others and I listen to my users.  I also provide new function requests where I am able to which is also why the likes of Scan125 is so loved and used by so many users around the world.  See Scan125 Users
 
It is true that some of my data editing features are a little "clumsy" (as touted by a commercial developer) but I've always acknowledge this fact to users long before the commercial developer mentioned it.  What I don't do is make false claims like:
Scan125 has supported all these scanners in a single package.

Others are trying to catch up with the addition of  "virtual control" and "virtual bank names" to their products but Scan125 has supported all of this since 2013/2014.

Love or hate any aspects of my software then just please let me know and I'll do my level best make them even better.


Software Programs

HF150 Control Program

For Lowe HF-150 Receiver

HF150 Control Program  Go=>

A program to control and data manage the fantastic Lowe HF-150 Receiver. 

Originally written by me for my personal use in 2009 I have since publically released it where I hope it will find an appreciative audience.  
 
If you have a Lowe HF-150 Receiver, or any other interface compatible Lowe/other make of receiver then you might like to visit my HF150 Control Program page.  

AutoFTP Program

AutoFTP is a simple and very low resource usage program to monitor a chosen file on your PC and to automatically FTP that file to an FTP location if the file has changed.

AutoFTP Program  Go=>

The program allows the setting of a polling interval to check for a change in your chosen file and also the ability to define certain FTP errors that are transient and thus allow the program to retry the FTP upload up to four times before reporting a hard error.  You can also force upload a file that has not changed.

A really useful utility program for automating the upload of a file to a website or other location.

Hardware Project

IF150 USB-Serial Interface Hardware (replacement for Lowe IF-150 Interface) 

This is a suggested design for a USB 2.0 to Lowe HF-150 receiver serial interface.  Unlike the original, and now very rare Lowe IF-150 interface, this suggested interface design is a native USB interface not requiring any USB to Serial converter hardware.  In addition there is no additional Window's driver software required to be installed on your PC.  A simple .INF file will take care of everything.   Both Windows and Linux operating systems are supported.
 
The suggested hardware design includes opto-isolation providing total electrical and conductive noise isolation, thus ensuring no noise/interference is injected into your receiver via the interface.

If you are interested in this suggested interface design then more information can be found here:  IF150 Interface

As with any project customer interest is paramount.

Meanwhile, if you have a Lowe HF-150 Receiver, or any other interface compatible Lowe/other make of receiver then you might like to visit my HF150 Control Program page. 


Electrified Cover for Vehicles, Caravans, Boats and Other Items

So you have your precious vehicle, caravan or boat covered with and expensive protective cover only to find the cover being damaged by cats and other pests.
 
What you need to do is implement my idea of an electrified cover that uses industry standard and safe animal electric fencing products.

I'm publishing this idea HERE for all to use.

If you are a cover manufacturer and would like to adopt my idea then please do so but I would ask you to DONATE to the DEBRA charity.

Fiat Cars

For those that know us we are very loyal and dedicated Fiat car owners since 1973.  I'll be adding relevant content over time but for now you'll have to be content with knowing that we currently own a Fiat Strada Abarth 130TC (1988), Fiat Barchetta (2005) and a Fiat 500X (2015).
 
If you have a Strada 105TC or 130TC then you definitely want to visit the Strada Abarth page.
 
Here you will find informative technical information.

Finally (at least for now)

I hope you find something of interest on my website.  If not I apologise but hopefully you will enjoy Marmotta PhotoArt.
