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

Sponsoring the project

  • Maybe Open Collective, just like Open Broadcaster Software https://opencollective.com/obsproject
  • Allow supporters to use Patreon to support project
  • Allow People to send Bitcoin to project
  • Go onto Crowd Supply and release a new FPGA board + kit, based on experience (we can show how it works)

  • we will mention all contributors to the project on our youtube channel and give credit where it is due
  • if you have a tech or any related channel on youtube we will mention you if you like, will you mention us too?

Channels on youtube to connect to

  • Control the universe with the Eduino.io project
  • use of the DPI vs Eduino brand name for the project…
  • Make 1 project eg. the Tigard board available in the shop and promote it on all media to see what works

Template for youtube post

  • This video is about ….
  • Check out our previous video about …. in case you missed that
  • We will be covering points a b c
