Future of this project about opendps HOT 14 OPEN

It seems OpenDPS is no longer relevant(for example no DPS8005 support). There are other firmware that are actively developed. for example https://profimaxblog.ru/whats-new-in-firmware-4-0/

Thanks, but that doesn't look like opensource to me...

Are you still interested in the project?

Sorry (really). I was stupid to tag so many.

I think @violavon is a "young padawan" (joined a week ago) who learnt a lesson. Will close the issue though.

I have my own fork and I am going to post it to my own github area, shortly. it was a 'logn time ago' when I first did some mods and now that some time has gone by, I might have forgotten a few things. but its still my go-to open source low-cost programmable psu.

the profimax fw looks interesting, but since there is opensource fw, that we can change and customize - other close source fw is much much less interesting to me, at least.

I dont think this is at all 'irrelevant'. I'm sorry I didn't see this years ago when it first came out ;)

That firmware has some interesting features. For me, OpenDPS is good enough for the few DPS modules that I still have. I don't intend on getting more of these units and I haven't been keeping up with any of the newer offerings.

However, it would be nice to see these pull requests get merged in. If I remember correctly, memory is sort of a constraining factor at the moment, so some effort would be required to make everything fit or have the make file include/exclude features cleanly.

Well, sadly I do not have much time to maintain OpenDPS anymore. If anyone creates a fork for maintenance I would be happy to refer to it.

Any update?

There's no need to spam everyone. As kanflo said, we don't have much time. You're free to fork and take on this project.

@kohrar Sorry, I didn't mean any harm... Just sad about this project, it's the only open-source digital power supply firmware in the world.

from opendps.

Maybe we could try crowdfunding, like Patreon?

Still, with every new message, over 24 people, many completely unrelated to the project, receive messages. You knew this was going to happen.

I hope you learned your lesson. While typing, you posted even more spam. This is considered extremely bad behavior in open-source communities. Just because you're unhappy with any detail (for whatever reason, maybe the firmware just works for everyone involved so far...) doesn't justify spam like this.

@kanflo please lock the issue or ban @violavon, either stops the spam.
