Controlling Arduino systems: Hollywood LCARS Connect
Achim Kern is working on a Hollywood programm for controlling Arduino systems (video). It can be communicated with the Arduino Yun, the pcDuino and the Iteaduino as well as with the Raspberry Pi.

The system can access connected sensors, e.g. for humidity, temperature, light or motion and process these values or sned them to a website. Additionally the individual pins and thus e.g. relais of devices can be connected.

The Philips Hue Light system was recently added. The software can access the bridge and turn on or off all available lamps and can choose the colours. The motion detector also is connected with the Light System. If an intruder is noticed, an alert ("Red Alert") alarm is triggered.

According to the author, Hollywood LCARS Connect is still in progress. A beta version for connecting the Amiga to the Yun-Board and the Hue-System is planned. For combining hardware and software,he has to write an tutorial because it is very complex. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: Audio-Player AmigaAMP 3.13
Thomas Wenzel has updated his music play programm AmigaAMP. In version 3.13 several minor bugs were fixed:
  • Fixed some more playlist/directory handling bugs
  • Fixed cover drawing and uniconifying of tag editor window
  • Added pattern matching filter to modplug loader
  • "Autoplay file" now also works for dragging files on the playlist window
  • Dragging directories on AmigaAMP's AmiDock icon now works
  • Switched play list handling to saving and loading WinAMP style .pls files
  • Revised window depth arrangement and alignment code
  • Updated WinAMP5 skin
  • Use mouse wheel in equalizer window to move sliders
  • Fixed clearing of comment field when opening MP3 file without comment
  • Fixed format display in main ReAction window
  • Fixed initial playlist display in ReAction window
  • Renamed info win to just "Info" because it can't edit tags any more
Important: This new version doesn't load plain text files as playlists any more when using the normal Eject/Open/Drag'n'drop functions. I've you've built your own playlists and want to continue using them then load them via Load List in the playlist window and save them again. They will be automatically converted.

This is to prevent the following bug: If under AmigaAMP 3.12 and earlier a complete directory with all files in it was opened, and a text file is there as well, by mistake it is loaded as playlist. This causes much trouble. In the latest version this cannot happen any longer. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Linux: Kernel 3.10.0 for Eyetech AmigaOne, Sam460 support canceled (update)
Users of an Eyetech AmigaOne can also access a Linux-Kernel: Already in August on Sourceforge a port of Linux 3.10.0 for the AmigaOne XE with G3 or G4CPU was released.

Now 'Spectre660', who was responsible for adapting the kernels to Sam460, stated that he will not continue that. Obviously his Sam460 is damaged and because furthermore some AmigaOS4-users in the official Hyperion forum are angry about the many Linux-News, he is lacking in motivation to keep on investing time or money for the Linux support.

Update: (27.01.2014, 14:30, cg)

Obviously ACube offered to replace the damaged Sam460 and thus to put Spectre660 in the position to provide further updates of the Linux-kernel. (cg) (Translation: dr)
