Hi John, thanks for the response! Yes I do have a 308 duo and would like to have the wireless option as the existing user inteface on the charger is rather awkward and I also need my glasses to read the text! Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: John ClaytonSent: Tuesday, March 9, 2021 11:27 AMTo: johncclayton/electricCc: christoferussss; CommentSubject: Re: [johncclayton/electric] DropBox link with sd card image is not working (#150) HiIt's been down for aaaaages actually.

Ah,

This is possible - but I would not say simple / easy. You will need to build the images / runtime yourself as the automated builds to create the ready to flash .img files are long gone (lack of interest in the project).

The code for the server is OK; I haven't checked the iOS/Android app in a long time - so I'm not sure of that state.

Let me know your experience level with building / running these things - and we go from there.

christoferussss commented 3 years ago

Thanks, to be honest I only have made image files of my pc hardrive. I also fo have a raspberry pi that I use to run home assistant. Want to get another pi for the charging app but first need to sort out the image file....

johncclayton commented 3 years ago

Ok, from memory - building the image file is a quite difficult and involved. My recommendation as the path to follow would be: 

1. get your raspberry Pi connected to the network - e.g flash an image, boot it, setup wifi etc. 
2. pull down dependancies, set up a virtualenv and get the system ready to run the code (reference: https://github.com/johncclayton/electric/blob/master/development/install-on-rpi3.sh)

I just looked at this files - and I think another way might be to set up a session together, a video chat, and we walk through it. I dunno if this stuff runs any more. Depends on how tech you want to get.

I'm happy to help someone get this on its feet - but I don't have the time to maintain it right now on my own; thus my offer of help to get it off the ground for you.

The server side code runs well, the challenge is the actual runtime environment - there is so much to set up (udev + rules, USB hid, startup scripts, WIFI etc - nothing terribly scary or hard; but there are LOTS of moving parts).

Let me know what you think. I'm based in Switzerland by the way.

by the way; VERY useful: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12vy4kCue40k26qsqJIa6b5kwuOIhKOWrTJteruaGcJk/edit#heading=h.wg4jkjj04yor

I think you are heading towards a check out & build scenario, the app links and down and the image isnt available. Sorry its quite a bit harder than just clicking stuff - but this was never an easy install in the first place, and hey, challenges build character right? :-) (finding the positive in everything).

christoferussss commented 3 years ago

No problem, wil give it a go. Been in the electronics work as in hardware development and some c firmware stuff.. looked at all your documentation and phone app and have lots of time on hand since I was made redundant recently due to this Corona virus! Live in Cape town South Africa.Sent from my Galaxy -------- Original message --------From: John Clayton notifications@github.com Date: 2021/03/09 12:24 PM (GMT+02:00) To: johncclayton/electric electric@noreply.github.com Cc: christoferussss christoferusss@gmail.com, Comment comment@noreply.github.com Subject: Re: [johncclayton/electric] DropBox link with sd card image is not working (#150) I think you are heading towards a check out & build scenario, the app links and down and the image isnt available.

I found an older image in one of my backups the version is 571. Why are they not part of the github repo ? The size is below 2G. I put it on one drive here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aifrfu-ze9JAjm8sVG-jt5UU6Pyk?e=kmVina

Markus-Rennings commented 3 years ago

I can confirm that the IOs app is running on I Phnoe 12 under IOS 14.4.

wow - thanks for the thanks! i didn't think it was being used. I'll pass it onto my brother as well (he runs shinywhitebox.com)

yeah, raspberry pi 3 only - i can't recall right now why, there was something about how the configuration system in a raspberry 4 is different, for wifi, and we settled on saying "use a 3 at this stage".

background;

I've quit my job as a CTO, going for a sabbatical year. I'm focusing my time on learning everything i can about Azure (yesterday was functions and triggers), C# and so on. I had briefly considered rewriting the front end in Xamarin.Forms ... i have no interest in JavaScript nor TypeScript (so don't ask me to touch those languages).

If you want to learn new stuff and intrested in Xamarin you should have a look on MAUI: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/introducing-net-multi-platform-app-ui/

Also there is another cross platform framework called UNO: https://platform.uno/

Hey thanks for image file Markus!, downloaded it followed the good doc for setup for my 4010duo but no luck on finding the Electric network on my phone once i booted it up:( Does the project still work for anyone?
