[Icon-tech] finding documentation ondevelopingprogramsforthebraille plus

I think it would be interesting to have a check book program for the
braille+ but I think that would take a lot of time to develop.

In God We Trust,

Clay

OK I am waiting to see if there is a couple more interested parties.  So if
you know of any not on the list you can help hunt them down.  Of course if
they are not already here maybe they are not that interested.

Hi Ken,

The answer is yes.  If you can get us started with some basics and broad
overviews like databases and accessing api's, as well as views, menus/UI
elements, I think we can handle it.  I'm willing to put up the source codes
for any apps I develop with comments to help anyone else.

I guess the question is, is it something you're willing to do because my
idea for the lessons is not to do for you but to enable you to do it
yourself.  For example we could do lessons on getting an application
started, setting up application database, accessing the web and services,
running separate tasks, or more basic tasks like creating views and menus,
but the idea is not for me to develop the application but for people like
yourself to develop it using any lessons we work on here along with this
list as a resource.

I'd like to develop for both. But, for simplicity purposes, I'd think the
RememberTheMilk API is better.  It would make a better training at least.
THerer's a lot in the Evernote API and that client will be harder to develop
or will take lot  more time.

Not a bad choice both have python API's and are good web services.  Do you
have a preference one over another and why?

I'm interested in using various API's to develop companion clients.
RememberTheMilk, Evernote, etc.

What kind of projects would you be interested in developing?

First there is no need to use Gcc because the applications are developed in
Python.  A good place to go for information of creating your own application
is:

http://tech.aph.org/mm/wiki/Development

I have been thinking of doing a tutorial series here on this email list if
people are interested.  So if there are a couple of interested developers
out there with ideas please email them to me so we can see if there is a
need and maybe we can create a class specifically geared at getting you
started with your projects.

Thanks,

Ken

Hi, well how is it currently done is there any samples as like I said on the
user site no examples and I can't find anything on the internet as well as
no documentation on compiling programs with gcc for the arm processer.

I could be wrong, I should have said, at some point I do hear claim of work
being done on an sdk, nothing says it'll be when the next version of the
software comes out.

When the next version of the software comes out, apparently there'll be a
start of an sdk available to go with it.

Hi, Looking on the user site for the icon and braille plus I don't see any 
documentation or developers kit for making packages or doing any type of 
development like compiling programs from source for the icon or braille 
plus.  I also use debian linux on my desktop so am an advanced linux user. 
Also are there any directions on bridging the usb network connection in 
linux like there are in windows?  I would have thought that as the icon and 
braille plus are based on linux directions would be provided for both 
operating systems for those of us who use them.  Also, after installing a 
package like any of the games or what else you choose to install is it 
always required to reboot in order to make the application work?
