FreeEMS support thread - FUCK YEAH!
« on: September 23, 2010, 10:29:11 AM »

Fred Cooke of FreeEMS is at a critical point in hardware development, and without funding I fear his work is going to come to a short term standstill.  We all know how that goes with any project.  You're balls deep in it, getting stuff done and really passionate about it, and then you run into a financial or lack of tools brick wall that gets you sidetracked.

It's not like Fred ever expected to make a lick off of all this, he's doing it for the world.  If you can kick him a buck or two it'd be appreciated, and he promises not to spend more than 60% of any monies donated on prostitutes and 40z of malt liquor.  Plus, you can write it off on your taxes.

Thanks!

I think I can spare $10 or so. It's worth it for someone so passionate about what they do. Maybe one day I can use it on my truck.

Thank you Walter, and two others also! I can eat for a couple of more weeks now! :-)

Could you please remove my email from your post or change the @ and . symbols to (at) and (dot) instead :-)

Thanks again!

BTW, FreeEMS ran with xgate last night, it just flashed an LED, but the capability to do big things now exists.

A couple of litres of milk, a loaf of bread, half a box of cereal, half a small jar of peanut butter, and about 5 gallons of low octane per week, no dinners. I have very few dollars remaining and no job. I'm living in my car and swimming in a (rather cold) local lake to keep clean. I use shopping mall and beach toilets and water supplies. I pinch wifi from wherever I can. Today I've been studying up on WEP cracking to extend the number of hot spots I can hit. Things are a bit bleak, however once I get work I'll be fine. It's just a matter of how long that takes, how much dev I do in the mean time, and how long the money lasts.

I didn't realize that was the issue. Either way it was money well spent.

I logged on to berate the 50% of people who said they'd kick money yet hadn't, only to see someone has definitively taken care of the situation.  Whomever you are, well played, and you are welcome on my couch anytime you are in Asheville.

Also, Fred?  I expect a working fucking beta within two months or I fly to Kiwiland and kick you in the pee pee.  That is all.

A big thanks to everyone here for their help. You guys took my worries away. Then along came that big surprise, and made me laugh, and cry. I know who it was, and they're pretty cool. I'll be phoning him tomorrow to say thank you more personally.

As for beta in 2 months, you can install one on a volvo right now! I don't know how long the missing sched code will take to create, or the comms to update, or the xgate bit bang code to write, etc, but we're working on it as much as we can.
