Talk:Roadmap

Hello, I have some question about the following topics on the roadmap:

Hardware Team : [Régis Blanchot]

90% Pinguino MX250

Are there some informations out there on the forum?

Extra Pinguino as a Universal ICSP Programmer

Same as above: any additional informations?

Pinguino as a universal ICSP programmer -- I believe this refers to Jean-Pierre's old blog post at http://blog.pinguino.cc/?p=135. The given schematic and code was simply for programming a PIC18F2550/PIC18F2455 with a bootloader using a Pinguino PIC18F2550 board. Useful enough, but it was far from universal as there are several different Microchip programming algorithms and programming voltages depending on the chip family. To make it universal would be a substantial undertaking.

As for the MX250 - you'd do better to ask Régis on the forums.

Thanks for the link to the blog post. There is so many information about pinguino scattered about blog, forum, wiki, website...

I've seen, you have added the content of the blog post to the 2550 board. Very good.

Yeah, the harvest is rich, but the workers are few :-(

Proposal: New Page "Exhibition"
Should we introduce a new page "Exhibition" where we collect articles about pinguino projects?

Some candidates for articles are moreno with his sensor board based on pinguino micro, the dragon pinguino of druilhe and the AquaPinguino.

My only concern with this proposal is that offsite links disappear which is why I prefer to transfer the content to the Wiki. When I checked various off-site links on the Wiki, I found most were dead, not just the actual link, but in some cases the website domain no longer even existed. So the information at those links was completely lost. So, yes, good idea provided: (1) there are sufficient details available to be useful and (2) the information is not an offsite link but incorporated in the Wiki.

What do you think?

You are right. We should transfer the content to the wiki if it's released under an open license or the author give us the permission to copy his text and pictures.

OK. Just let's do it. Can you create the page and write an introduction (intention of the page, what we are interested in, contact person if someone has a question and so on)?

I will ask druilhe and moreno in the forum if they could provide additional informations and some pictures of their projects.

Further I can copy text and pictures of AquaPinguino from the blog to the wiki.

--PinguPlus 14:09, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Ah, I don't think there are sufficient details for AquaPinguino ... no hardware schematic and no code, possibly a PIC32 but that's just a guess from the picture. A note that it exists with a picture doesn't really provide any practical help... does it? There's also no contact details to find out any more information.

I'll create the page though :-)

-- trev 01:38, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

IMHO it's a good example for what you can do with pinguino. I think, the board on the picture is a pic32 pinguino micro.

Who has written the AquaPinguino article on the blog? Régis? Maybe he has some additional information or an email address of the original author.

Pictures: With a well lighted high resolution picture an advanced user can draw some conclusions what happens on the board.

But I think, we should end the discussion and start now :-) RobertoB is the first candidate for an article (if the problem with his wiki account is solved).

--PinguPlus 15:28, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Moreno has agreed to publish his project(s) in the wiki. I will point him to the page that he can see, what we are doing there.

I've done some research and found another interesting posts from him.

Good work!

Proposal: New Page "Contact"
Any idea how I can move the contact section in Roadmap to the side bar and/or at the bottom of any page ?

--Paintitblack 10:23, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

You will need to consult with the WikiSysop to tweak the "navigation" panel for the side bar. Similarly the bottom of every page, though the side is probably a more obvious place.

Wix Windows Installer
I've experience building NSIS installers. It's possible to use this framework instead Wix ?
