ubiq_uitous communication, wearable and multimedia systems

This is work in progress - video of setup in operation to follow.

The photo has additional notes on Flickr.

The module will enable wireless connectivity from e.g. an MCU / Arduino to an iPhone via the standard WLAN way.

Matthias came up with an OpenGL ES demo that shows a WiiMote
in sync with an iPhone via Bluetooth.

A Symbian S60 Nokia E71 connected to an Arduino Mega via Bluetooth.

The E71 may also be used as a “gateway” with an uplink via WLAN or GSM - which basically make the LEDs switchable from everywhere in the world. This photo illustrates a potential usage scenario with a remote controlled vehicle.

Adding external displays via USB is a quite flexible option.

Started with the original support on Win and OSX - but aim to use this on Linux with e.g. a beagleboard.

A “nut core” (ATmega128, as used in the BTnode alikes) combined with wireless communication alternatives (nRF24L01 or ZigBee). The nRF24L01 can talk to the sputniks shown on the left.

The PIC18F2550 provides USB connectivity - and may bridge towards e.g. I2C or UART.

Supposed to be used for:

• emulating HID devices and
• interfacing a WiiMote IR camera with tracking capabilities

Uses components that I already had.

Thanks to the community for speeding up things with ready to run code.

Video to come pretty soon.

A (foldable) Bluetooth keyboard used for typing on an Android G1. Works with all applications on the G1 that accept keyboard input.

Even though the G1 has a built-in QWERTY keyboard - this external option might be interesting for typing longer text while being e.g. in a train or at a cafe.

The setup uses the Linux Bluez Bluetooth stack and the uinput mechanism - both there on the Android device.
