Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

Just read this article: http://www.pcmag.com/news/350956/alexa- ... -dangerous about a guy who got Alexa to work as a copilot for ED. Seems a cool idea especially for those who are in VR.

I think I'm gonna try this with my spare Echo.

Linking Alexa to the game so as his voice commands could be carried out required writing two programs for Windows 10.

That and a 180$ piece of kit.


Guess nobody told him about voice attack.

Voice attack and a voice pack or two. Much cheaper and possibly a lot more immersive

Or the Dot for only £50

This has got me wondering about whether I can use my electronic rabbit for something.

Stop being rude you lot!



I could have my SSC app monitor the Journal for particular events and then tell Oscar the Internet Rabbit to do stuff based on what's happening.

How about changing the flashing tummy light to red and saying "Ah, crap!" when I get destroyed?
Or maybe a wiggle of the ears and a "Right on Commander" when I've taken down an NPC?

I've been thinking the same, but with my Wi-Fi controlled RGBW light. Have it change colours depending on states. Don't know though if the log says things like when you are in super cruise, hyperspace, normal flight and combat

Mood lighting. Nice.

Is your wifi light controllable via an http command? I could look to choose certain triggers from the log and then have it send your choice of command. Should be quite flexible and work with a variety of devices.

It is a 'milight' which is the same as limitesLED among others. Basically it listens on a TCP port for a command and then sends that out to the lamp(s). I have used https://github.com/McSwindler/python-milight in a python script before to give myself some basic control from a PC but I wouldn't have the first clue how to read the states from the log files!

I don't do much programming in Python or on the PC, most of mine is using Arduino's and the like!

This is the controller I have: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/a60/Controll ... ds=milight

and the bulb type I use: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mi-Light-expan ... ds=milight

http://www.limitlessled.com/dev/ has a sample vb.net app for sending the commands! So yes, looks pretty straight forward to code something based off a combination of that and a modified version of my SSC app.

I might have to buy the devices (just for testing you understand. I'm not a geek or anything
