11:13:54 Marcelo Simoes : Jeff I do not see your shared screen 11:13:57 duztynn eisenga : camera is still on you, not the desktop 11:25:08 Whit Stodghill : GREAT tip - Never knew this! 11:25:41 Jim Granville : Notepad++ has exactly that, plus it will allow enter of text cross many columns 11:28:00 Roy Eltham : Notepad++ is deluxe! I use it daily 11:32:18 Roy Eltham : have we converted Chip to spaces instead of tabs! :D 11:33:03 Samuel Lourenço : Cr Lf works for linux too. 11:34:24 Bob Lawrence : Docker 11:35:16 Jim Granville : Notepad++ has Edit.EOL conversion button, that has 3 choices. 11:35:33 Bob Lawrence : https://www.docker.com/ 11:37:37 Bob Lawrence : From the Docker site: Docker Containers Are Everywhere: Linux, Windows, Data center, Cloud, Serverless, etc. 11:38:07 Bob Lawrence : Limux 11:40:01 Bob Lawrence : Free pascal and Lazarus runs on a Rasberry pi 11:41:15 Bob Lawrence : Delphi currently supports Linux 11:43:56 Colin Fox : VS Code would be an interesting basis as well 11:44:01 Colin Fox : It's based on Google Chrome 11:44:09 Colin Fox : And it's cross platform 11:44:55 Colin Fox : It's based on Electron, if that helps 11:45:36 Colin Fox : Though I suppose that would involve porting the Prop IDE from Pascal to Javascript. :) 11:46:58 Jeff Martin : "Notepad++ is deluxe! I use it daily" - Yes, Notepad++ is very nice! 11:48:57 Whit Stodghill : WiFi WX is fantastic! 11:49:39 Michael Green : Can the adapter be used with a 'B' eval board? 11:49:57 Jeff Martin : re: "Notepad++ has Edit.EOL conversion button" - Ideally, if we can handle it naturally for the Propeller Tool user, it would be best; with option for advanced users to "opt into." 11:50:21 Samuel Lourenço : I would guess so. The ROM is the same. 11:50:46 Whit Stodghill : I have a WiFi WX on all my robots now, even the S3. It is so handy to be able to program wirelessly. 11:51:35 Whit Stodghill : Thanks Jeff - I have the RevB board. 11:52:24 Stephen Moraco : Maybe post instructions for doing so somewhere as a number of us do have the RevB board. ;-) 11:52:25 Jon McPhalen : Can we manually connect the WiFi module to a Rev B board? 11:53:33 Whit Stodghill : WiFi WX can be renamed too. 11:54:20 Whit Stodghill : It is done on the screen currently shown. 11:54:41 Jeff Martin : Good idea; we'll post directions. 11:57:03 Whit Stodghill : Awesome! 11:57:56 Jeff Martin : We'll make this work directly with the Propeller Tool too, so later no drag-n-drop will be necessary (but will still work)... similar to how we've done it with PropLoader and Blockly Prop Launcher. 11:58:04 Jeff Martin : ...for P1 11:58:42 Stephen Moraco : Looks Great! good work! 12:13:23 Stephen Moraco : What firmware are these running? 12:14:15 Whit Stodghill : I never thought of that! 12:15:12 Whit Stodghill : I think that is correct. 12:19:33 Whit Stodghill : Yes - the docs recommend that. 12:21:55 Whit Stodghill : "Golden Egg" - love that name! I'm stealing that one. 12:22:35 Whit Stodghill : Same on S3 through a hole on the case 12:22:55 Samuel Lourenço : Sorry for the audio. 12:23:17 Samuel Lourenço : I'm mobile Fi-wi. Not great. 12:23:34 Samuel Lourenço : The connection drops. 12:24:13 Whit Stodghill : Great demo Michael! 12:24:40 Stephen Moraco : Understood, thanks for the Answer 12:25:51 Jeff Martin : Thanks Samuel. I hope we were able to answer all your questions. 12:27:46 Whit Stodghill : I think I did that one time also - took a while for me to figure out. 12:30:39 Whit Stodghill : I used the WX Badge to communicate with an ActivityBot with WiFi WX mod - like a remote control. 12:31:02 Whit Stodghill : It had lag, but worked pretty well. 12:40:06 Whit Stodghill : WOW! 12:41:48 Jim Granville : FTDI have HS-USB UARTS that can go to 12MBd but speeds above 12MBd are hard to find. The CP2102 can go to 3MBd and the UB3 can be set up to 8M.8.n.2, but sustains averages of 3~4MBd over FS-USB 12:42:06 Michael Mulholland : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/188PblnQ-5OKdqazT4UtQen0qxX-tZGRg?usp=sharing 12:42:31 Michael Mulholland : P2 Loader firmware edition for Parallax WX ESP8266 module 12:45:19 duztynn eisenga : each student could program the teachers prop over the net? 12:46:12 duztynn eisenga : Cool! 12:48:14 Jim Granville : One limit here will be the storage on the preconfigured WiFi module ? Most of those are modest flash sizes to keep prices down, but you could make a custom variant ? 12:48:30 Whit Stodghill : COOL! 12:49:02 duztynn eisenga : in a cash strapped environment or "3rd world country" a student could timeshare a prop2, see the results over zoom. Sounds like a twitch channel could do the same "try programming this P2, goto this webpage and see results on stream" 12:49:08 Stephen Moraco : https://www.typescriptlang.org/ 12:49:10 Bob Lawrence : Chip try this: https://www.typescriptlang.org/ 12:49:27 Stephen Moraco : (like minds) 12:49:48 Bob Lawrence : avaScript and More TypeScript is an open-source language which builds on JavaScript, one of the world's most used tools, by adding static type definitions. Types provide a way to describe the shape of an object, providing better documentation, and allowing TypeScript to validate that your code is working correctly. Writing types can be optional in TypeScript, because type inference allows you to get a lot of power without writing additional code. 12:52:59 Dario (dMajo) Majovsky : Chip I don't know if you would like it: its developed by microsoft 12:53:10 Bob Lawrence : The guy that invented Delphi , Anders Hejlsberg, also wrote TypeScript 12:53:49 Roy Eltham : He was also involved in C# 12:54:09 Roy Eltham : C# is kinda sorta Delph++ 12:54:26 Jeff Martin : That's a nice example, duztynn 12:54:51 Dario (dMajo) Majovsky : it is a super-set of javascript 12:55:03 Samuel Lourenço : C# is proprietary, if I recall correctly. 12:55:16 Roy Eltham : no, it's a standard language 12:55:29 Stephen Moraco : https://github.com/ironsheep/lovelace-lightning-detector-card/blob/master/src/lightning-detector-card.ts 12:55:42 Samuel Lourenço : Indeed, C++ was converted to C. 12:55:51 Colin Fox : C# is basically Microsoft Java 12:55:58 Roy Eltham : not really 12:56:19 Roy Eltham : Java is still controlled by Oracle, it's not a public standards language 12:56:23 Roy Eltham : C# is 12:56:27 Samuel Lourenço : C# is basically owned by M$. 12:56:34 Roy Eltham : it's not though 12:56:44 Roy Eltham : intentionally so 12:57:02 Samuel Lourenço : There are proprietary languages that are standard. 12:57:06 Roy Eltham : The have also open source .NET Core 12:57:22 Samuel Lourenço : The standard part is a matter of adoption. 12:57:23 Colin Fox : The open source version of C# is Mono 12:57:26 Roy Eltham : no 12:57:39 Roy Eltham : there is .NET core now which is open source 12:57:45 Roy Eltham : mono is separate 12:58:00 Dario (dMajo) Majovsky : since java requires a VM that has been made free only to private users by oracle 12:58:03 Colin Fox : .NET certainly wasn't originally open source, which is why mono was started 12:58:16 Roy Eltham : right, but it is now 12:58:25 Dario (dMajo) Majovsky : the package to be used in companies requires licensing now 12:58:33 Roy Eltham : and with .NET 5, there will just be Code 12:58:36 Roy Eltham : Core* 12:58:54 Roy Eltham : so no more separate .NET vs .NET core 12:59:05 Colin Fox : Well, that's certainly an improvement. 12:59:27 Colin Fox : MS has certainly changed their Linux/OpenSource standing massively. 13:00:41 Roy Eltham : C# is an ISO standard language: https://www.iso.org/standard/36768.html 13:01:15 Bob Lawrence : Web USB API Draft Community Group Report, 18 August 2020https://wicg.github.io/webusb/ 13:01:29 Colin Fox : That says it's withdrawn 13:01:33 Colin Fox : The C# standard 13:01:33 Whit Stodghill : Jeff showed that filter, didn't you? 13:02:47 Roy Eltham : sorry, updated: https://www.iso.org/standard/75178.html 13:03:39 Roy Eltham : anyway the point is that it's open, anyone can make a C# compiler and runtime, not so with Java 13:03:43 Samuel Lourenço : Take the ISO part with a grain of salt. The same with their OOXML. 13:03:46 Roy Eltham : Oracle has a stranglehold on it 13:04:08 Bob Lawrence : The USB interface of the WebUSB API provides attributes and methods for finding and connecting USB devices from a web page. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/USB 13:04:10 Stephen Moraco : Slightly off topic, work in progress: https://github.com/ironsheep/RPi-P2D2-Support
