mnemote / flobot Goto Github PK

for connecting up to a secondary ATmega / Arduino style CPU which does all the actual work, eg: mBot etc. Could either port the VM to the AVR and just pass WebSocket messages through to it, or else actually compile to AVR and use the arduino / STK500 boot loader to get the programs on there.

Advantage: ESP can mostly idle out. Disadvantage: rampant complexity.

Components should go away if dropped on toolbox area. Toolbox should pop away too, and/or have tabs for types of component.

Components size should vary as they become more or less important, kind of anyway.

At the moment these are far too tightly coupled. there should be some kind of interface between the VM itself and its sensor/actuator ports, but it shouldn't be all muddled in together.

Should allow definition of compound functional groups, which have their own inputs and outputs. then you can have multiple instances of each compound. How does this interact with visual debugging though? You'd need to know which instance you're debugging.

Someone with good visual style could improve the CSS a lot . And there's potential to make different elements different shapes colours etc.if someone can work out how to make that look good and not a dog's breakfast.

Once flobot has an IP address, it needs to advertise on mDNS/Bonjour and maybe as a backup register itself with DynDNS or similar. If it always uses a set name based on its serial number then the docs could include a QR code each for http;//flobot-123456.local/ and http;//a123456.flobot.mnemote.com/ or whatever.

you know what'd be cool? Ability to see the status of various lines on an oscilloscope / logic analyser page. that'd be cool

they should be much more friendly in appearance and also there's no way to drag them easily without dropping them.

currently it polls, which is awful. Hook up websockets to handle updates between the UI and the VM. libesphttpd supports websockets, so this should be pretty easy.

should simulataneously present as AP, and make itself available for WPS, and maybe look for a preconfigured AP/passphrase (eg; simple classroom setup) and go with whichever actually connects first.
