Wireless Up

Aibos and Wireless are friends once again. Make sure to load the Comm module whenever you boot up the aibo. Thanks especially to John Keimel and Alec (from home, nonetheless). So from here: George is furiously into the Communications module. Great stuff all around.

More AiboConnect

After the python hurdle, I’ve been spending more time on AiboConnect. I’ve retooled the server-side part of it so that there is less message-passing and the code is WAY simplified. I even added some functionality: head motions can be put on a timed function just the same way the leg motions can.

Design

Architecture is really a tough call now. I need to pick an overall design of Aperios Objects (modules) and keep it stable until the end of the year. I’m probably going to have one for vision (plus Python hooks), motion, and communication. And how to link various bits of code for each module? Common header files? Namespaces? Heck–I could do like UPenn and just have one Aperios object for everything.
