Re: [Sugar-devel] TA Lego WeDo plugin -- review and notes
Hi All, I missed this original thread due to a poorly configured gmail autofilter. Martin - any interest in resuming packaging of WeDoMore? Walter - has the plugin API solidified? Best! -- Ian On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 11:18, Walter Bender walter.ben...@gmail.comwrote: I propose we have an irc meeting to bring everyone together to hammer out any additional changes I should make in v107 so as to make sure all the plugin efforts are accounted for?

Re: [Sugar-devel] Interesting USB-pluggable robots, controller boards, and sensors
Hey All, I'm the previously mentioned Olin student working on TA / WeDo integration. Right now, I have a full-function python driver for the WeDo and an early draft for a Turtle Art plugin. I will be releasing a public beta via my github page, https://github.com/itdaniher/WeDoMore, on Mar18. Shortly thereafter, a blog post will go live on blog.laptop.org describing the project in detail. The WeDo motor, distance, and tilt sensor will be supported out-of-the-box. I would quite appreciate any questions, comments, and criticisms of the project at this point. After the Mar18th public beta, I will be requesting significant community bug testing.

[Sugar-devel] Lego WeDo + TurtleArt - Screenshot Code!
Hi All! I'm writing with good news. I successfully have integrated the Lego WeDo with TurtleArt. Here's a screenshot: http://itdnhr.com/static/WeDoScreen.png The code needed can be found in my git repo at https://github.com/itdaniher/WeDoMore/https://github.com/itdaniher/WeDoMore/tree/master/TurtleArt . TurtleArt specific files can be found at https://github.com/itdaniher/WeDoMore/tree/master/TurtleArt. The svg files go in the icons folder. The usb folder goes in the root of the TurtleArt directory. The file wedo_plugin.py goes in the plugins folder in the TurtleArt directory. The folder WeDoMore goes in the root of the TurtleArt directory. This project is *not* ready for primetime yet. The only semipolished code is the actual Python WeDoMore library. Anything and everything in my repo that is related to turtleart should be considered 'alpha,' that is, may cause your computer to spontaneously burst into flames. That being said, it works perfectly for me, and I could definitely use testers. If you feel like giving it a go, and if you find any bugs, please report them at https://github.com/itdaniher/WeDoMore/issues. Best wishes and many thanks, -- Ian On Wed, Mar 9, 2011 at 13:17, Martin Langhoff martin.langh...@gmail.comwrote: Hi Ian! great to have you around! I am interested in your work with WeDo, both the python plugin, and the TA integration. For the NXT integration, the parts are 1 - an rpm that has the udev rules 2 - an rpm with nxt_python (python library, some utilities) 3 - a TA plugin In your case, we'll probably want to use the same model for packaging. The rpm with the udev rules already has rules for wedo. Once your library code is ready for release, let me know and I'll look into making an rpm. For the TA plugin it may be a good idea to share notes with Emiliano -- he's doing the NXT stuff. The TA plugin will probably be shipped with TA once ready. If you can keep those tiers separate, it will be a big win. Have you seen the nxt_python library API? If yours is reasonably close you might save some effort. m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
