I loved this idea of Go conceptually… I think it was Eleanor McHugh who was the first person who ever actually showed me any Go code with a lightning talk she did at a Rub圜onf in New Orleans, many years ago. ![]() So I created several different frameworks in different languages based on the same sort of ideas. But to others, of course, a drone is anything with propellers that flies around. It was before the dark times in the skies that drones come to represent to some people. Back then, drones were strictly the purvey of the military and they were used for reconnaissance. The term ‘drone’ had not come… It was a kinder, gentler era. I created a framework called Flying Robot, which was an unmanned aerial vehicle framework built on top of Ruby Arduino Development, that was mostly used to control blimps and other flying vehicles. It wasn’t actually running Ruby on Arduinos, it was the somewhat forward-thinking idea of using Ruby to create a domain-specific language which you could then compile down to Arduino code and run independently. It was in 2008 that I discovered a project called Ruby Arduino Development, from Greg Borenstein. I had done hardware-oriented software before that, but it was not open source related. Anyway, I’ve been doing open source software for hardware very actively since about 2008. I tell people, “If you need some gear, just show up at my house with a box and something with wheels, like a dolly. So if I have more hardware than normal people, it’s because I’m supposed to, I guess. We’re a software consultancy that specializes in writing software for hardware companies. DeadProgram on all the places that matter - GitHub, Twitter etc. ![]() GopherCon Speakers Announced!! (how could we forget that?)Įach week on the show we give a shout out to an open source project or community that’s made an impact in our day to day developer lives. #golang logging library maintainers: It’s time we agreed on a common interface and converged so we don’t have so much mass confusion. Is the purpose of OSS just to “save money”, or perhaps there is something else to it… Let’s discuss the philosophy of open source. Shared set of low level hardware interfaces Why Open Source? Ubuntu Snapcraft What we need for Golang to really provide the best IOT/robotics development tools: Gobot Hardware related - go-hardware - go-opencv
