Networked Objects

Pong it.

use arduino for usb-serial connector if has empty file loaded to Arduino and switch RX/TX

can connect laptop directly to XPort and crossover is automatically detected (set up local network) - see Corey if probs

Use Tom’s Processing udp device query for finding devices on net: Xport listens on Port 30718 for UDP and sends back its info
- also an option to DOS attack the subnet

“I seem to be aphasic today, sorry.” - TIgoe on his inability to focus

PONG

Available keystrokes:
L, R, X

REMOTE
Server
IP address + nickname of device
Score, position of paddles, etc.
Hit or Miss
Ping

LOCAL
Client
Connection status
IP address + nickname
Feedback (haptic would be nice)
L or R just sending

Make sure you know it works all locally first
Before sitting down to write code: know your sensor values

Need to put in: connect, disconnect, reset, reset Xport, input left/right, blink

client pong code here: http://www.makingthingstalk.com/chapter5/36/
server pong code here: http://www.makingthingstalk.com/chapter5/35/

use defines to name all pin numbers (#define deviceResetPin 7)

Damnit, he just showed us the new Arduino Ethernet that comes out later this year.

chunk code.

“A good rule in programming but not in love: control every byte [bite].” - Tom

use carriage return instead of println if you’re unsure

Okay, it didn’t work the first time now what do we do to debug it? - Tom
Wait for office hours. - Ameya

check sensors and buttons
use serial monitor to debug locally (without Xport first)

there’s a wii-mote for processing library: http://www.christianmeinke.com/2007/04/10/wiimote-communication/
why not just stick it in somthin’?
