Hacktoberfest 2020 + Nerves
Do you like Hacktoberfest? Also enjoy working with Nerves and want to contribute?
Fantastic! 
Here are some potential starting points for you ¬
- Nerves docs
- Its boring, but things move fast and its a huuuggee help to get little updates when things look wrong. Or if guides are incorrect, etc
- Search Nerves, NervesHub, and related projects by issue tag:
- Add utilities to
toolshedAdddf- see #41- Anything counts, but things for cpu utilization would be cool.
- Do anything related to Erlang tracing and write up examples for Nerves people. (Frank thinks we rely way too much on logging, but he’s painfully aware that tracing is hard.)
- BlueHeron examples
- small Bluetooth projects that people can replicate
- Find some sensor/i2c/spi device that doesn’t have an elixir lib and build one
- Its totally random, but helps when you need it. These can range from really really simple to very complicated implementations
- Circuits.GPIO pinout task
- Low risk project to run a task that shows the pinouts for your board
- Add ASCII art help for pinout numbering · Issue #54 · elixir-circuits/circuits_gpio · GitHub
- Help push
circuits_cdevover the line to use char dev interface with GPIO- use the
initial_devbranch
- use the
- Speak another language? We want need help putting translation pieces in place for NervesHub

Just curious - doesn’t
cpu_supis what you need? It is out there ready for use.fhunleth
I feel I should respond since
toolshedis a project of mine and the reference was to adding a cpu utilization helper to it.Many helpers in
toolsheddelegate to Erlang/OTP functions to aide in discovery, muscle memory, ease-of-use, or to make the output easier to read. The point hasn’t been to bring in new features, but more to expose existing functionality to lessen the need to drop to abashprompt to get work done. That’s important on Nerves, since it’s frequently the case that Erlang/OTP provides more capability than what’s available in a shell due to the minimal Linux userland.Anyway, back to a CPU utilization reporting utility, I think it would require a few iterations to figure out an actually useful helper. I agree that if it doesn’t provide some advantage over
cpu_supthat there’s no reason to replicate it. I’m not sure this is a good Hacktoberfest PR opportunity, since there will probably be discussion and iteration that would drag the PR out past the October window.
