Re: [Pharo-users] Problems with Firmata & Arduino UNO Clone

by Nicolai Hess

Hil William, this works for me on windows 10 with a LoLin nodemcu v3. Upload Firmata EchoString example with arduino ide. Push Reset on the nodemcu. firmata := Firmata new connectOnPort: 'COM3' baudRate: 57600. firmata inspect Sadly, I can not close and repoen the SerialPort, I have to close and reopen the pharo image first.

Hi, It is great to have Teapot finally migrated to github. For those who liked the project structure and docs see https://github.com/ba-st/GitHub-setup.

Spec + Graphics?

by Dan Wilczak

Hi, I'm interested in using Pharo to create a simulation with animated 2-D graphical output. The user can start/stop the simulation, change display modes, zoom in and out, and change various settings during operation. That means that, in addition to a graphical pane, I need a menu bar or maybe a panel of buttons which create popup windows. Can I use Spec for such a thing? I don't see any way to embed a graphical pane in a Spec application. The Spec examples don't include one either. Secondly, if it is possible to use Spec, what would you recommend for the graphics? Bloc and Sparta look very appealing but aren't officially released yet. The long-term futures of the other options aren't clear to me.

Maybe some part should be merge with Baseline class comment ? We had a look to the comment of this class recently and not that easy to understand what is Baseline.

Hi Norbert! We don't have yet implemented any nor all combinations. I will add it to the list of things to do for next release. Looks like a simple and useful thing to have. (Or if you have already something I wouldn't mind to integrate it) Thanks.

Re: [Pharo-dev] [Ann] TaskIt v1.0

by Norbert Hartl

Great, thanks! Does TaskIt include implementations for combining futures such as the ALL and the ANY futures which resolve either when all or one future resolves? From the documentation it looks that rather not.

Feedback is welcome. Yes, it's a lot better for beginners because it actually explains what baselines are and which roles they play, in addition to giving examples. Thanks, Konrad.
