1 reports · 1 sources

Developer deebuildsthings published the October software progress for the Lamp robot: the main development branch saw 4,092 commits this month, surpassing the previous high of 1,615 in April. Hardware remains unchanged, with the focus shifting to production preparation. A new docs/develop.md development path that takes about 10 minutes to get started was added, including a simulated lamp that can run on a laptop, Python and JavaScript SDKs, and lamp-mcp. Camera images are now authorized per skill individually; they can only be captured after the owner allows that skill. Yield detection based on servo position and load has been added, but it is off by default and only runs on the test lamp. The code for signing skills, pushes, and shares with one's own key has been written but is not included in this version; features such as addressing two people in the same room, add-ons, and ignoring others' statements have been built and are likewise off by default, pending verification on a real lamp. lampOS 0.0.4 and 0.0.5 were released on October 22, fixing an issue where the button could get stuck in the pressed state.
