This is an old revision of the document!
Thing I am doing now
Pulling code and compiling git@github.com:edwin-oetelaar/dpdaemon.git
should we keep 2 versions ? eddaemon and dpdaemon
I think we can compile this on Windows-10 using WSL2 (windows subsystem linux)
We can not use WSL2 in a virtualized Windows-10, nesting hypervisors does not work, even when bios and virtualbox have it enabled
Working with WSL2, Ubuntu on a normal Windows laptop without dual boot works fine, network connections from inside should work, but need testing
I suggest we focus on Linux-native users and WSL2 users, not native windows or Mac users
Compiles cleanly with
git clone git@github.com:edwin-oetelaar/dpdaemon.git
cd dpdaemon
make
fix 1 bug, clean compile now
Converting Eagle circuit boards to Kicad
import into pro 9.x version of eagle (linked to fusion 360 account)
export as eagle 7.x version
import into kicad 5 or 6 pre
fix things
Bob will take existing boards and make mounting hole spacing 40 mm outside dimension 48 mm
we call the new version “Black-Boards”
Video creation on youtube
Unboxing of the system and the cards
Why the system is useful
What place does it have in the arduino/raspberry-Pi ecosystem
Building reliable
Building quickly
Who is the target audience (promise of the arduino letting you down?)
Better documentation
Fully open hardware
A real design, based on a vision of a controlling
API works on Linux and others
License for commercial use
Commercial support and customisation
Grouping features to create traction in the mind
Engineers or aspiring makers are target
some knowledge required
explain what FPGA is what can it do that is hard
why are FPGA boards seldom used outside of big companies?
can we do precise timing
can we do real random number generators
can we do encryption to make communication secure and private
do we have a patent
trouble with long wires, I2C and other bus systems
does it cost a lot of money
do you get value for your money
can you make money using selling and contributing to the ecosystem
explain why creating stuff is so difficult and expensive
We are not sales people
We are like you, we have done this and learned some lessons
We want to help you by sharing
we struggle with the business part, just like all tech people
we our tech is cool and everyone should see it and use it
If you contribute you get credit and money
Building robots and machines is cool and is the future
we like sci fi movies
we like to hear from you
we like your feedback on our work
we will change thing if we hear a good idea
we will sell some hardware because it make your life easier
everything will be open and free so you can take it and use it forever
we spent lots of time writing drivers and code, use it, make it better and share it again
engineers make the world go round
technology drives progress, creates more wealth, health and enables art
we are trying something new and want you to participate in our journey
we do not want to
