Dear Aston,

Thank you so much for the interest and support !
I have personally made quite few progress in my own project hence there is few things I am able to provide that could be of use to the community, and even less that I can guarantee are correct. Nevertheless everything I have done so far in Erlang, hence directly applicable to Elixir as well can be found here :

Achlys : master branch is as stable as I am able to provide so far, and develop branch is the playground for the current WIP

Thankfully other people have been working very hard and I have very exciting news !

• GRiSP V2.0 has been officially announced at CodeBEAMSF 2 days ago ! The GRiSP V2.0 Kickstarter is available at the provided link, but be warned I have pre-ordered seconds after the announcement during the presentation, yet I was already the 12th backer and in 24h nearly 30% of the target has been reached !
• Collaboration with the Nerves Project and continuous work from both sides will allow Nerves support out-of-the-box on the GRiSP V2.0 platform !
• Wi-FI AND Ethernet !!!
• @Toensbotes’ Quality guides on medium are an excellent place to start directly in Elixir !
• Much much more that I have not yet to summarize correctly based on the notes I’ve been able to take on the fly.
• Retro-compatible : it is now possible to already prepare Elixir projects of the current model, and use them directly on the new models when they will be available !
• For those interested in P2P communication i.e. boards directky talking to other boards without any infrastructure, it is also possible with almost no configuration. The project I am working on called Achlys uses a fork of the Grisp software stack that has been accepted and is ready to be merged in the official repository, and allows me to easily create an ad hoc wireless sensor network of GRiSP boards that do not require an Internet gateway, but still can benefit of it, for example with a laptop one can simply come close to any node and collect information or propagate some across the entire network through dissemination, and then leave the cluster running as before. And the node that is “tapped” can be any node that is a member of the cluster, the boards can provide strong eventual converge of data s.t. each node the latest state at some point, guaranteed !
• Adam Lindberg (@eproxus) and (@peerst) Peer Stritzinger can provide much more accurate information about all of the above and I really strongly encourage anyone interested in the project to reach out to them, they are really helpful and have always went the extra mile when I needed something even if they have their own job to do as well.

The website : GRiSP
The official (very very good) Wiki

Stay tuned if you are still interested But for those of you that are actually considering participarting in the Kickstarter, it will be as simple as it is now to run Elixir, while more resources will be available. And of course any GRiSP team member will can help you anytime, on their slack or GitHub
And in the worst case where none of them is available, I am always happy to help but I am BAREly a user, while GRiSP team members are actual experts so it is possible that I cannot provide a valid answer to a question, but at least I always try

Best,

Igor

Hello all

For those of you interested in getting on board for the GRiSP v2.0 Kickstarter, I just wanted to keep people updated :

Good news ! : 2/3 of the goal of the Kickstarter has been already been reached in only 2 weeks ! And the project has been awarded the “Projects we love” distinction on Kickstarter.

So there might be only a few spots left unless an extended goal is announced but I think that the GRiSP team is already preparing for the official release !

For further information you can check this tweet out if interested :

There was a talk about GRISP on the code beam light in munich last year, which also touches on the topics mentioned above.
