ubiq_uitous communication, wearable and multimedia systems

Just to give an idea.

Integration of Bluetooth and servo control code still to be finished.

The DisplayLink display also works with an NSLU2 (running Debian) and a beagleboard.

The beagleboard can use the binaries generated on the NSLU2.

The photos have notes on Flickr.

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 Bluetooth enabled zeemote JS1 controls a servo - no PC involved - there’s just an ATmega8 micro controler coordinating things.

I2C is an interface usable on multiple platforms - e.g. LEGO NXT, Arduino, PicAXE.

Using a standard connector new combinations can be tested quite easily.

The photos have more infos in their notes on Flickr.

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.

I decided to do some experiments with Arduino components.

As usual - I was especially interested in the ones providing connectivity.

Due to the examples available - I got the whole setup operating very fast.

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.

The Zeemote JS1 is a Bluetooth peripheral that e.g. comes together with some recent Nokia phones. You may find it on ebay as well.

This short video shows interaction with an Android G1. You want to see multiple JS1 controlers connected - so you may play multi-player games on one device? Your first idea was "pong !"? You want to see the controler connected to other devices - that may even have TV out?

You will see all of this !

More to come!
