Heart of Gold Project Page
History
The
Heart of Gold project was an effort in my class
Student Originated Software 2003-2004∞ to produce software allowing the user to manage car engines in real time. The project was with William Dillon, Michael Schultz, Ryan T Higgins and Greg Feigenson. William built the spark controller for the project, Ryan the serial <--> java app, the messenger object and the MegaSquirt code, Greg did the design work, built the preliminary GUI stuff, built the plugin framework and built the spark controller module. Michael did not contribute.
The project was successful in that it produced an initial release at
Sourceforge∞ and that it worked (as far as we tested it). Unfortunately after the class Ryan was given control of the sourceforge project and removed the other administrator and user (William and Greg respectively). No further development work was done.
However, Recently the sourceforge.net administrative staff has removed Ryan and added me as administrator. My first task is to refactor and get a working win32/linux build. The project is now up on SVN and I've got a branch I'm working on. I'll need to clean these docs
Cross Platform
This used to be an issue, because we were doing native for the serial. Now I'm going to be investigating the
RXTX library∞ and throwing it into the Ant build. All you should need to do, in addition to running HOG, is throw a DLL or SO in a specific location. It's minimal install and gives access to far more platforms. There's going to be some crossplatformness added to the software in other fashions...
