The programming interface for HyperBorg is going to be “Scratch” like. Its very base implementation is already dispatched. Some screenshots would be disclosed soon. The language would be stored in a JSON. Grammar parsers and so (ex. yacc, lex) are not outruled, but first we try to make the programming easy.Stay tuned, resistance is futile 😃

As you might know, we are approaching to the first POC status, in which multiple hardware nodes are working together to bring the seamless experience of Hyperborg: Matrix 0 goes online around 2021-02-01 (ISO 8061)

The targeted setup: – 3 RPIs (mixed setup with version 3 and 4s) Please note that HyperBorg is not limited to RPIs only. It could be run on any hardware capable of using Qt framework. 2 of the RPIs would have TFT display. – 2 HHC-N818OP relay boards – 1 Philips HUE system with lights. – 1-Wire system for measuring data.

After system goes online, the demo would be able to display charts of the measured temperatures via the DEMO section.

Due to popular demand, the test system in the HyperBorg HQ now contains a Philips HUE hub. The respective plugin and device are now part of the source codebase, altought the implementation is in very early stage. Currently device driver could ask about the lights and capabilities, but all the other functions there are only placeholdered.

The HUE device would be improved in the following days for actual swithing so it could be used as a valid device for POC.

The HHC-N8I8OP is a very handy 8 channel relay and input board that is capable of switching 250V/10A. Both plugin and device modules were added for HyperBorg for the POC system.

Dear Borgs out there!

We have achieved a wonderful year with Hyperborg despite that COVID has affected the world as well as our team. Now, hours from the end of 2020, we, the borgs are raising for out cups to all HyperBorg users all around the globe! Happy New Year!

2021 would bring a lot of new features and ideas into HyperBorg!

Cheers!

Hyperborg is now extending its POC systm with HHC-N8I8OP relays.

More information later.

We, at HyperBorg HQ, love Debian. We use it for servers as well as desktops. So it was not a surprise that we would like to move HyperBorg into the Debian repository, so you could install Hyperborg in a blink of an eye onto your Debian (or Raspbian) device.

Issuing ITP (Intention To Package) is just a first step for it. We started the package registration at Debian. It still takes a lot of steps till you could see the package appear in your list. We expect to have the first packages around March, 2021. in Debian repositories.

But we are assimilating … we are HyperBorg! 😀

As developement goes back to normal, we are switcing to Qt 5.15.1 on all platforms, including Webassembly.

There were no updates recently due to an unforeseen death close to the developement team. Although we do no not want to disclose any further details of this and we would hear his voice in our Hyperborg community, the team would like to dedicate its firts Hyperborg release to this man who made all of this possible.

So, the first release of HyperBorg would proudly wear his initials: NI.

Rest in peace, dad.

Today we made the first connection between two nodes! Of course this should not be a big news, since socket connection is one of the basic elements in every network based applications, so it is nothing ground-breaking. Also, this is a very minimal, fragile link yet. We are not handling what if the connection is broken or the peer node is not online at the connection time. (But working on it)

Both from HyperBorg perspective, it opens new possibilities to introduce a working version on the net that could use – for example – an SQL database, thus a bigger leap for the first working demo.

Things would be more spectacular from now on!
