Helo, Icaro is a robotic project develop by Valentin Basel http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Valentinbasel , its consiste a open hardware project and software to teach robotics to kids http://www.roboticaro.org/ It is packaged and already added to Fedora, we like it to be included on FEL. icaro-1.0.1-1.fc18.noarch Therefore we want to know what we could help to be added on fel. Thanks.

Announcing sigrok - a signal analysis software suite
by Alex Gagniuc 13 Jun '13

13 Jun '13

Hi all, I'm Alex, a 'part-time' open hardware and software hacker. I'd like to talk a little bit about sigrok, a signal analysis software suite that supports various device types, such as logic analyzers, MSOs, oscilloscopes, multimeters, LCR meters, sound level meters, thermometers, hygrometers, anemometers, light meters, dataloggers, function generators, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, GPIB interfaces, and more. sigrok started as flosslogic, a small project by Uwe Hermann. Uwe disliked the crappy nature (and Windows-only nature) of software for his logic analyzers. He started to work on a free software replacement for that software. Soon after, he teamed up with Bert Vermeulen, who was working on exactly the same thing, for exactly the same reasons as Uwe. Since then, the project has grown, and more enthusiasts (including myself) have pitched in. This weekend, they had their most spectacular release. I say spectacular, because, for the first time since the start of the project, they have released a usable GUI, PulseView. While some half-baked GUIs have existed in the past, they were slow to render, and had nothing but the most basic functionality. Joel Holdsworth has decided to start a new GUI from scratch, and has been working on PulseView for over a year, which finally came to a (pleasantly) usable very recently. As it stands, the sigrok project has the following components: libsigrok - the interface to the hardware devices libsigrokdecode - library for decoding protocols (any data collected with sigrok) sigrok-cli - command-line interface pulseview - The best GUI ever written for sigrok sigrok-firmware - binary firmware for some devices sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw - GPLv2 firmware for Cypress FX2-based logic analysers. I was able to get most of the packages approved, and they should be available in the official Fedora repositories soon (f18 and f19). I think sigrok can be a great asset to Fedora Electronics Lab. I want to avoid paraphrasing their wiki in its entirety :). The project's home is at http://sigrok.org . I hope you will find sigrok to be of value to Fedora Electronics Lab. Alex P.S. sigrok is always spelled without capitalization, even at the beginning of a sentence. :) P.P.S. sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw is still in need of review.
