Creator: Omegix Status: Your Status Born On: 16:52, 21 January 2010 (CST) Last Updated: 11:31, 26 January 2010 (CDT)

Overview

FML, OBE. I'll figure out something to do with it when it's done.

Materials

• X10 Firecracker (jeff has)
• X10 RF reciever (jeff has)
• X10 Light Switch (jeff has)
• Machine to host module (need to talk to brimstone about best machine for this)
• Ackis Server (in place)
• Ackis Module (this is what's being created)

Software Resources

• http://www.linuxha.com/bottlerocket/
• http://wish.sourceforge.net/index1.html (This will likely not compile, it was not supported in Kernel 2.5, and we're on Kernel 2.6 now)

Progress

• Ran into a strange dsss build error. Kinsey found a string with an extra set of quotation marks around it. For some reason the compiler didn't report it. Omegix 10:31, 26 January 2010 (CST)
• I've downloaded bottlerocket and got it working with my X10 system. Bottlerocket seems to loose track of the firecracker\serial port after a reboot of the computer.
• Started How_to_write_D_modules
• Kinsey helped me setup a D programming environment. I have D module examples to work with.
