Dear Nicolas,
It would be a very important step to make the Android version
supporting multiple languages. The desktop version already does it, thanks
to the effort of Georges and others. Jithin may require support to work on
it. I would be glad to be a part of your efforts to develop the MOOC.
I have some material on a MOODLE LMS
<https://alpha.scischool.in/login/index.php>, guest login is enabled. Will
be adding some material on the new software. Also planning to arrange some
online presentations.
with Regards
Ajith

Dear Ajith,
I aim, possibly with Georges and Erick in cc, to sell and develop content
in French for ExpEYES-17. Possibly also with Pierre de Buyl (a Belgian
physicist who loves teaching and Python programming) and Olivier Debeir (a
professor at the Free University of Brussels, who also loves teaching and
python)
I would also like to develop a full curriculum of physics for the 2 last
years of secondary schools as a MOOC with videos to explain the theory and
many exercices, but also some related to experiments, especially with
ExpEYES-17 connected to Raspberry-Pi ou smartphones or computers.
In my vision of this mooc that I would like to help develop in English and
French, it would be such that teachers in schools may recommend to his
students to follow the MOOC with him (the teacher) supervising in class.
This would allow the students to be more autonomous and evolve at their own
speed while being confident that the teacher may also help, and let the
teacher devote more time in the class to do experiments some with the Exp
Eyes.
Would you agree to be involved in such a project for which I would like to
look for funding ? This could be related or be complementary to Khan
Academy for example.
Hope to read you soon,
Nicolas

Dear All,
My previous post was on 28-Feb-2021, now there is something new to
report.
Right from the beginning of this project we have been trying to achieve
two goals;
1. *Reduce the total cost of ownership* of the device, including the
computer to run it. Low cost laptops, tablets running Linux and single
board computers like Raspberry Pi etc. were tested.
2. *Easy development of new experiments* using the control and data
acquisition facilities of the device. Simple Python programs were the best
solution we could achieve.
Now both these issues have been solved very effectively, by developing an
Android app for ExpEYES-17. The program is available on Google Playstore
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cspark.research.eyes17&hl=en_IN&gl=US>,
you need an OTG adapter
<https://www.amazon.in/Samsung-Adapter-Converter-Compatible-Devices/dp/B09BFFSLMC/ref=asc_df_B09BFFSLMC/?tag=googleshopdes-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=607052980955&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8641844229662647540&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007778&hvtargid=pla-1680441584864&psc=1>
to connect ExpEYES-17 to the USB port of the phone.
The App supports *Visual Programming, where one assembles programs by
dragging and dropping functional building blocks*. Experiments may be
performed using small programs assembled in this manner. It is also easy to
share such codes with others.
The App can also be used as a tool for learning Visual Programming. In
addition to the basic features like defining variables, performing
arithmetic and logical operations on them, control flow blocks for
conditional execution and iteration, it also supports array type data and
plotting graphs. Building blocks are provided to access the hardware
features of ExpEYES.
CLICK HERE <https://scischool.in/expeyes/index.html>for a brief i*ntroduction
and a video.* on my website scischool.in
The new development is contributed by Dr. Jithin B P , CSpark Research. He
has also introduced a new version of the hardware. The new model (SEELab-3
<https://csparkresearch.in/seelab3>) is an upgrade of ExpEYES-17, with
different kinds of connectors and a built-in breadboard.
Anybody having an ExpEYES-17 box will be able to use it by installing the
new software on an Android phone.
Any kind of feedback is welcome.
with Regards
Ajith
