Got the easy part done - WIFI ARDUINO XBEE LILYPAD

Post 50

Happiness Level: 6

I have to admit, I have been avoiding this project for quite sometime ever since my Dengue fever.
But I did double check the connection with the wifi and it works fine.

To make life easier, and to clear up what the tutorial failed to mention, (which resulted me and Yee Siang into panic mode) is that the +++ command is automatic, but the other commands are not.

Which means after typing ATMY or any other command, you have to press enter.

If not you would be like me, waiting for the automatic OK response for like forever.

I used two computers to send the messages, my desktop and my laptop and configured the 2 xbees by myself, with the help of the tutorial.

This is the CoolTerm on my desktop which acts as the SENDER,

And the xbee,

And this is the CoolTerm (receiver) on my laptop.

And the Xbee.

One thing I noticed though, I cannot send messages from the receiver to the sender. Only the Glove Xbee could send the info, because I set it that way, There's not back and forth communication.

I don't think that would be a worry though, my project does not require back and forth comm.

Now to link it with Processing.

I'm not excited.

More things to do:

- Wait for Jam Long to reply me on the tutorial he had which could fix my unlinkable pages

- Set the invoke for the delay thing to restart. (probably only I would understand what I'm typing)

An update on the logistics too,
Looks like I won't be needing an arch or stage mount thing, the ceiling at Publika blackbox would suffice.
Sad that nobody wants to be near my installation because of its loudness.

As for the unity and the delay matter,
David told me that there is no such thing as 'YEILD' for unity C# and that I should only use INVOKE.
