@chriswmackey I will push all the energy components to gitHUB at some point tonight. Current components doesn't have any description or have a really short one. I think it will take longer than what you are thinking so I didn't put a deadline on this. Let's just do it as much as possible. I will put sometime every night and right a short description for all the components.

Ok. Cool. I just synced with the github and I think that you are right that descriptions are going to take a substantial chunk of time. It took me 3 days working 8 hrs-a-day to do the ladybug descriptions so honeybee energy is probably going to take a similar amount of time and all of honeybee is looking close to a week. I will get this finished shortly after my last final school project is done on the 23rd.

Hey, Mostapha. Everytime I think of doing this, I realize that I still do not know what all of the inputs are and it would be so much easier to do this when we are in the same building next month. Are you coo with waiting until then?

mostaphaRoudsari commented 10 years ago

Sure. I hope by the time we also have no major development left. We should enjoy a public release at some point before the end of August.

@mostaphaRoudsari , I am just letting you know that I am making progress on this slowly. There are just so many components in HB that I cannot possibly do it in one weekend. I might see if I could pass on some of this to Anton. He has been itching for some relatively simple tasks that would just get him familiar with the components and what they do. In any case, I have gotten all of the constructions tab done and I'll start branching out to the other ones.

mostaphaRoudsari commented 10 years ago

@chriswmackey thanks, and getting Anton involved is a great idea. I know. well there are 156 components and if they have 6 inputs and outputs for average, we are talking about 156 * 6 + 156 = 1092 descriptions. If each one takes 3 minutes (which is a conservative number considering the length of your descriptions) you will need 3276 minutes which is more than 50 hours! So it is more than a week of work in US standards if you work on it full time. :) Take it easy and thank you for doing this.
