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

• Got the Ackis Core, and IRC client up and running. Currently the bot\module can turn on or off an X10 hardware module... once. The core is sending the module the triggers correctly, need to figure out why can't process the trigger more than once. Omegix 23:58, 26 January 2010 (CST)
• 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.
