Got my philips hue hooked up as an edmc plugin.

Got my philips hue hooked up as an edmc plugin. unpolished as hell, but it works. will dump the code on Github as soon as I clean it a bit.

I'm not a python developer, I just google this stuff as I go. I would like to make the plugin a configuration interface, but I'm guessing putting the code on GitHub might attract some assistance.

Currently it turns red when you drop out of super cruise near a station. After your docking request is accepted it turns green. When you land it turns blue. Just a proof of concept. It needs to be fleshed out to handle more events.

The idea is that you try and get your light setup in a way that it causes a overall er "Hue" in the room or at least in your line of site around the monitor.

Elite dangerous market connector. I don't like having many apps running while I play so I wanted a plugin using an existing framework.

Ian Norton looking at all the other plugins to learn. You guys lead the way. Been wanting to give something back for too long now. Need to get the tk interface going as well.

Cool. I have the market connector, but little use for it out here 35KLY from the bubble. Didn't know it could deal with plugins.

Lars M. Hansen I use the distance plugin to give me distance(s) to Ltt 4961, Colonia and SAG A while jumping.
Nice.

Are any of you interest in being part of a coding sub-community of GGG+ One of the things I enjoy most about G+ and the communities that formed around Elite Dangerous has been the gathering of personalities that seem to share a lot of hobbies and interests. Many walks of life and philosophies interested in overlapping topics like music, tv, movies, humour, food, wine, etc. One of my hobbies has always been coding. The past is littered with 100's of started projects and abandoned code. Clearly, I haven't been an 'completionist' or 'achievement unlocked' kind of person in this regard. I guess in my case, I was not able to sustain that level of drive and enthusiasm for most of those pet projects. With Unity, I've found a system that allows me to express my gameplay idle thoughts as something tangible and I've started watching tutorials and putting objects on the screen and animating them. The results have been quick and rewarding and I'm starting t

Unlocking Hera Tani

Unlocking Hera Tani This is just so pointless. 4 trips for no good reason other than waste time. It's probably going to take me 4 days. I can't imagine that the same people who brought my favourite game back to life could come up with such a useless system as the various engineering unlocks and crafting system that you HAVE to do to progress meaningfully. I'm just in a miserable mood. Sorry. God knows if I'm ever going to mine the necessary 250t of whotsits...

So, in the spirit of Elite Stories, thought I'd share my perspective of last night.

So, in the spirit of Elite Stories, thought I'd share my perspective of last night. We had barely met and there we were suiting up and using our limited funds to buy guns, ammo and gear for the mission we'd been thrust into. It wasn't an honour we'd earned. Others had died, we were next. There were no reinforcements. Nobody was coming to save us. In fact, quite the opposite was true. We were going in to rescue a squad who were sheltered and taking fire. They had sustained heavy losses and couldn't hang on much longer. We headed purposefully down the streets, checking our guns and making sure we had our grenades and medpacks on standby. It was brutal, but we made it to the rendezvous, battling past waves of patrols sent to stop us. We were in trouble, but there was always a teammate to lend a hand or a hail of bullets. Somehow we made it. Learning to watch our for each other and keeping a wary eye out for signs of sniper activity. We scavenged more ammo and m
