Re: [uracoli-devel] Version 0.2.0 released + Chemnitzer Linux Days 2012 + Tic-Tac-Toe-Hardware

[Daniel Thiele]

Hi all,

As Axel mentioned, the Blinken-lights implementation was running as a side
effect for the Tic-Tac-Toe Board development. I can state that is was very
satisfying to use all the things from the uracoli tree (which grows and
grows) and let them play together. We could reuse a whole bunch of code
snippets and maintain the adaptions on a separate branch in the mercurial
repository, which by the way figured out as a very convenient and friendly
VCS.
We also got some useful input on how to simplify usage of the build and test
environment. And finally got some real life application for the wireless
bootloader WIBO. Seems like it would be necessary to work on little projects
like this more often to keep spirit high.

Good luck for the Chemnitzer Linux Tag.

best
Daniel

Betreff: [uracoli-devel] Version 0.2.0 released + Chemnitzer Linux Days 2012
+ Tic-Tac-Toe-Hardware

Hallo Developpers,

yesterday I released the packages for Version 0.2.0.
The sniffer package currently needs urgent rework, so there are just
uracoli-{src,doc,devel}-0.2.0.zip released for now.

On this weekend Joerg, Matthias, Lutz and me will hold an
3 hour workshop at the Chemnitz-Linux-Days. Joerg brought up a very nice
hardware which implements the Tic-Tac-Toe Game with 2-colored Leds and an
ATmega128RFA1. I hope that we and the participants will have a lot of fun
within this three hours.

Because we had quite a huge bunch of 32 Tic-Tac-Toe Boards, Daniel had the
famous idea, to implement the Berlin-Blinken-Lights with these boards. His
wireless bootloader was very helpfull while flashing all the boards at once.
However we saw, just before packing the hardware for the workshop a very
nice swarm simulation on a matrix of 4 x 8 x Tic-Tac-Toe-Boards, each with 3
x 3 Leds.

Thats in short the ongoing activities after this long period of silence.

Best Regards, Axel
