One of the most interesting features in the new picoFlamingo ("The Cracking Egg") is the possibility to dynamically update slides. In order to illustrate this feature we had written this clock demonstration. It looks like this:
As you can imagine the digital clock in the middle of the screen will update every sec. The best thing is that this demo is almost trivial using the new UPDATE_TEXT command.
This is the slide definition for this demonstration:
Hiya!
Our first try to put everything in a case. Still needs lot of work but it's a beginning. For a final version we will need to unsolder some connectors and build a small power supply to be able to use just one power source for everything
picoFlamingo case for Beagleboard 1
And this is how it will look like with the picoDLP on top, before adding all the pico cabling. We also build a simpler case for our old B6.
Check this video showing the new main features included in the next picoFlamingo version, "The Cracking Egg". What you see on that video is a work in progress version and there is a lot of room for improvement.

We announced this some time ago, and actually, the first draft was ready at some time in April, however it has been difficult to get time for reviewing it. It is far from being complete, and will need a couple of updates, but it is an start.
Let's first introduce CP.
CP stands for Cool Project... and what's that?. Well, we are having lots of ideas and not too much time so we are putting them here and, maybe, somebody else will implement them sooner than us, or maybe they have already been implemented and we are not aware of that. In the next weeks we will be telling you about these CPs and hopefully some of you will bring them to live or will warn us about something already done.
Let's go for this Magic Frame CP!
Hi there!
This is our next step towards a fully portable picoFlamingo: Speech Recognition. This new feature makes the remote control device optional so, only the picoFlamingo box (will come at some point) is all you
need to make a presentation at any time in any place.
For speech recognition we are using Julius. A very nice tool that seems quite stable and powerful. Check out this video demonstration.
Hiya!
Finally we've some time to start working with the OMAP Zoom 2 and you can check the results in this video.
We have registered NetKitty in Savannah in order to make more easy the distribution of new releases and keep the sources under git.
For now we are just using the FTP and the git repository... maybe the mailing list will be interesting in the future
It took a bit more than expected but GNU/EDMA 0.18.0 is out. If you're curious you can download it here.
Hi There!
After seeing the entry in OmapZoom.org news feed about a new release of the Android NDK, I checked the link, and my eyes got caught into the section OpenGL 2.0 Support.
