Nerves Meetup: SparkMeter presentation, October 21st
A new Nerves Meetup iteration is happening and Mike Waud from SparkMeter is showing up to talk about how they use Nerves.
The recording from the previous one is also available.
Code BEAM America
Plenty of interesting Nerves stuff coming up with Code BEAM America.
A tweet about a second-generation puppeteer really caught my eye. Animatronics you say? With Nerves? Interesting.
Another tweet promotes the workshop I've mentioned previously here. Good angle mentioning you'll be working with RISC-V if you build using the Mango Pi which the workshop does.
Supporting the Nerves project
We want to encourage everyone to contribute in whatever way works for them. Here are some ways we currently recommend:
- Write or port a new hardware library and include it in the Elixir Circuits collection.
- Give money to the project via Open Collective.
- Get in touch about taking over maintenance duties for some libraries, we might be able to provide you hardware.
- Apply for an EEF stipend on something Nerves-related and build it. We can help if you have questions about this.
- Send corrections or improvements for documentation wherever it fails to help you.
- Write about Nerves, give talks about Nerves. Make videos about Nerves. It is all good.
Finally, if you have questions about the newsletter or want to suggest something you can simply respond to this email it will go directly to me, Lars, who edits this thing. Let me know what you think.
