2AM Thoughts
2AM at my computer furiously googling solutions to my Arduino-Android woes. First-class honours in the art of googling. The main objective this two weeks is to produce a simple Android based application that can control the Arduino board. Given that we have commitments to various other modules *cough slacking cough*, we decided to take the easy route out and use a readily-available customizable app on Google Play, pfod, instead of developing one from scratch. But, this is turning out to be more difficult that I imagined it to be. I tend to oversimplify problems in my head. It's just rainbows and unicorns up there.
All the terms are flying by me. TCP/IP, port, DHCP, SSID. I really want to be more curious and slowly dig into the depths of each of these terms and understand each and everyone of them. But every one of them is a bottomless pit. I need results and, properly understanding every aspect of this is not happening for the time scale of the project.
My biggest takeaway is that the people who write libraries, example codes, example projects and share them to the world are god. God. If ever I become religious, I would pray to them.
Adafruit_CC3000_ClientRef client = echoServer.available(); if (client) { // Check if there is data available to read. if (client.available() > 0) { // Read a byte and write it to all clients. uint8_t ch = client.read(); client.write(ch); }
Give me enough time I probably could have written that, but this is the product of our instant-result society. So, thank you to the gods at Adafruit.
. . . . .
Cheer up! I'm sure all your efforts will pay off. & if you're reading this, stop stalking me & slacking.
