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
