[C.CC USERS] Finally, occam-pi runs

[amrphoto1 at gmail.com]

Thanks Matt and Omer,

I am working on, and have a functional program for an LED chase. Actually, I have a couple of solutions to the problem, each with its own merits and potentials for expansion. I am also diagramming all of the code that I write in Occam-pi, it makes understanding the interactions of processes much easier and helps to see new relations and potentials within each solution. 

I'm sure that these functions could be simplified even further as I learn more about Occam's built in operators. 

My next task is to look into implementing a Kalman filter for balancing a monowheel robot morphology. It will utilize input data from a gyro and accelerometer. This will likely come along with functions for controlling a motor driver and reading a light sensing encoder.

Occam-pi  is a revelation for robot prototyping. This was never so fun. 

Side note:  I am using the Kate editor and the gvim editor with success, I haven't decided which is "better" yet. Thanks for the suggestions. 

I am fine with either solution regarding file sharing. SVN is quick and easy, a project page is pretty cool, but much more work. I will upload and share a link to my current explorations late tonight. 

Best Regards,
Aaron M. Ryan.

Great news, the fun begins now as you are up and running with the toolchain!

Agreed, although personally I am not sure what would be the best way to 
do this. SVN certainly sounds like the 'simplest' solution but another 
alternative is to have a mini sourceforge-like area on the web site 
where projects could be shared and other users can comment on things. 
The XMOS community site (XCore) has a nice implementation of this model 
at [1]. I guess this sort of model could be made nicer if it was linked 
to an SVN backend, but then we are looking at something like Trac[2] and 
that brings the question: How simple/complicated do we want things to be? :)

Whatever option we go for, it should be simple and easy to use for 
people and us, and to determine to optimal solution it would be nice to 
hear what others think and what would they be most comfortable with. A 
simple SVN based system or a 'project' based web app?


Cheers,
Omer.
