[Team Library] - AKA The meat and potatoes of Flutter

jeffcraighead 2015-03-27 03:40:11 UTC #21

Running with 'sudo ant run' solved the issue. Perhaps this is related to the uucp and lock group issue.

UPDATE:
After further messing around the sudo solution ends up causing the IDE to look in /root for the library folder, so that's not a good solution. Adding my user to the uucp, tty, and serial groups seems to have done the trick.

UPDATE 2:
SUCCESS! I was able to flash the RangeTest example onto the device, although I only have 1 unit, so can't fully test this. I took a look at the Issues list on GitHub and there's not much to go on. Taylor, do you have a list of specifics things you need done or should we just poke around and add things that we'd like to have in there?

Thanks for the comments. The setup.sh script should have taken care of those things, but it also has some errors that need to be fixed so it may not make those changes before it crashes.

I added some issues to the code last week and then fixed them. I should add some more. The biggest things right now are the work that [Team BOSSA] and [Team USB] will be doing. If you can help there at all, please do that. Specifically BOSSA needs to be compiled for windows and mac and I need the binaries.

One thing that can be done for the library is reorganization. Weirdly I'm terrible at figuring out how to group and organize things, which is reflected in my code and in my apartment (it's messy). I would say just poke around with the code and get to know it for now.

Also see this document for the rough idea on system operation. I don't have auto-pairing yet, which would be a nice feature. https://github.com/flutterwireless/FlutterWirelessLibrary/blob/master/extras/Flutter_diagram.pdf
There is an XML file adjacent to that pdf that can be edited at www.draw.io.

I will try to figure out what you guys can do and get back to you. If you can help with USB, please see that thread and download the materials there. Thanks!

I'm already fixing a couple of things I've found in setup.sh so I can upload that and also check into this issue. I will also enter it as an issue on the GitHub for tracking.

Looks like my GitHub account, Tibmeister, cannot upload changes to the repo.

Hi,

usually (hopefully that's also correct for this project) you should fork & make a pull request.

Yup, that's correct. Send me a pull request and I'll merge the changes. Thanks!

tibmeister 2015-03-28 01:53:27 UTC #27

Ok, I will do that then.

taylor 2015-03-28 09:16:29 UTC #28

Thanks! Merged that change (I learned how to do that!) and added my commits. Try the new code, it's got some new features.

It is becoming painfully obvious to me why documentation is so important. I didn't reserve enough time in my schedule for documentation because I was unsure what it needed to be, but I will try to start documenting things over the next month. Does anyone have links to some good documentation? I guess I always liked the Python docs, so I will look over that for inspiration.

Can anyone look at starting a CONTRIBUTORS.md file? Or I will get to that time permitting.

Hi guys
Has anyone been able to compile for windows yet?
I have the flutter for a while but I can't do anything with until I can compile for windows.

Cheers
Raj

I haven't heard anything on that. I've been off handling some other things but we need windows compatibility ASAP now, so I will send a message out to devs about it.
