RE: [Botix-devel] Remarks about Botix-howto

Hi Ger,

Thanks for reviewing the text so far.

In 2.2, you tell about a small seperate controller etc. Perhaps it would be 
better to tell that that is an example-setup, because it contradicts with 
the fact that it should also run on a single processor.
=> Yes indeed, I should. The only problem is that I did not figure out a 
system to implement it on one processor in a way that is compatible to a 
multi-processor setting. I am still thinking about this problem and will 
adjust the text as soon as I have an answer to the problem. I think it will 
be some kinda system with conditonal compiling, f.e. depending on the user 
config file.


in 3.2, you speak of Winavr. For Linux, one needs to install
avr-libc
binutils-avr
gcc-avr
In 3.3, there is no mention of Linux. (Essentially the same, except for the 
c:)
=> I will do a Linux setup myself as well for compatibility sake, so I can 
describe that one also in the howto. Each machine here is dual booting, so I 
have surroundings to test it. I will make a clearer distiction between the 2 
operating systems.

3.4: I'll maintain the DOC++ documentation, so there is not really a need to 
install this for other developers. (made a small script) R/W access to the 
www pages directory is needed on the SF server.
=>There is indeed no need to install it. So maybe I better remove that part. 
But are there special
considerations to make when writing programs? Are there special syntaxes to 
be aware off? If so I can put this in the part of "best practices".

4.1: Perhaps we (read: you ;) ) should create a Hello World function that 
can be uncommented to test the setup of new users.
=> Was already busy doing so...:)

BTW: The page was locked when I tried to access it; seems that you closed 
the browser window while editing.. :)
=> Yes this happens sometimes to me when I walk away while working on it. My 
laptop turns all black and silent automatically after a while. Dumb as I am, 
I turn on my laptop when I return..... Of course that is turning the stupid 
thing off instead of on...:) And so the browser window closes while 
editing....... I hope our robots will behave smarter then my laptop...:)
