fokSyf Eye R version 1.0.0-1 downloadable on the web again

#81 Post by mcewanw »

EDIT Oct 2013: I've now uploaded some of my old project work including wiak and fokSy Eye R to website: http://arkitektia.com. The downloads are currently found there under Products -> Software Designs (which is also accessible from right hand pane of the Arkitektia website).

Trobin has found a use for this:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 340#553340

so I thought I'd put the files back on the web somewhere...

Last Stable Version: 1.0.0-1

Please uninstall any old version before installing the latest,
and then run foksy setup and reboot as usual.
[Remember the space between foksy and setup].
Please read installREADME.txt in detail before installing.

You can find the last versions of fokSyf Eye R for both Puppy Linux and the Ubuntu-family Linux distributions via:

http://wiakapps.daugdog.com/wb010000.html

Refer to first post in this thread for installation details etc...

I did compile speak from the speak package down to a <400kb pet. It needs an external audio player to play (aplay works) I even hacked a script that will play in real time by using stdout as the output and piping it through aplay....best of all there are no wierd dependencies

If anyone's interested, let me know.

I've not used that one, but it if you upload it to the forum somewhere I would like to give it a run.

I've now uploaded some of my old project work including wiak and fokSy Eye R to website: http://arkitektia.heliohost.org. Will become http://arkitektia.com once DNS reconfiguration completed. The downloads are currently found there under Products -> Software Designs (which is also accessible from right hand pane of the Arkitektia website).

I'm currently back working with the latest version of Motion commandline Video Surveillance program http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 1931578202 with a view to incorporating it in a revised version of foksy since all people (completly blind, visually impaired or whatever) could find automatic video motion detection useful... I actually planned to incorporate it in the original foksy but personal events halted that earlier work. On motion detection the program Motion can automatically start up other scripts or programs and also keep a video or image record of the motion. Should I get round to revising foksy I also hope to modify krecspk to use arecord and lame (and or ffmpeg) rather than sox/rec which it did in past. These commandline audio utilities are available by default in most recent puppies.

EDIT: The webserver is having a bit trouble with some MIME types - particularly tgz, so some of these not downloading even though there. That should be sorted out once final hosting website decided or maybe by adding some AddTypes to .htaccess file. The dotpets are all downloading fine though.

Can I suggest arecord instead of ffmpeg -which carries a large barrow full of dependencies. Always worth keeping a 'low profile', so to speak...
