Hi Stefano,<p>I think this project is really interesting.</p><p>If you want we can help testing it with our two total station (Geodimeter 500 and Foucs 10), but i think i can try it also with the total station of the university of Innsbruck, Pisa and Padua, when i work for them (but before i have to ask). When the software is ready and working we can insert it in ArcheOS (if you agree). We released the second version (based on Ubuntu), but we are tensting a lot of new software we would like to insert in a new version that maybe we will release during the workshop of Padua. </p><p>Nice greetings,<br /><br />Luca Bezzi

this e-mail is to inform you about a new software project that I started<br />
writing recently. The project is called Total Open Station. From the<br />
README:<br />
<br />
"""<br />
I started writing this program for making it easier to manage different<br />
models of total stations in a GNU/Linux environment. However, I try to<br />
develop following standards, so porting to Windows or Mac shouldn't be<br />
difficult.<br />
<br />
Every model has its own quirks. So, I decided to use a modular<br />
structure, that is based on an abstract interface. Each time a new model<br />
is added to the program, you create a new instance of this base class,<br />
with all needed data.<br />
"""<br />
<br />
Total Open Station is developed with the Python programming language.<br />
For those who are interested in participating the project website is at<br />

<br />
The (few lines of) code that I have written as of today are here in a<br />
Mercurial repository:<br />

<a href="parse.pl?redirect=http://hg.sharesource.org/totalopenstation/" target="_blank">http://hg.sharesource.org/totalopenstation/</a> <br />
<br />
Let me know if you want to help - even a test with your total station is<br />
welcome!<br />
<br />
Best regards,<br />
Stefano<br />
