Program your chest messages from Linux - 14:29
The badges are still available from the computer shop on campus, and probably from other places, anyway Bob sat down for two hours last night, sniffed the protocol and wrote a user space program that sets the serial port to the right speed and pumps the necessary data across, this way you can set the message from a command line program on Linux rather than find a windows machine (which are somewhat rare anywhere we happen to be) If you happen to have the badge or plan to get one, Bob has put the source code in public accessible svn, "svn co https://cs.anu.edu.au/svn/staff/bob/public/ebadge" to get the source (or simply follow that link in a browser). |
