Nice information, many thanks to the author. It is incomprehensible to me now, but in general, the usefulness and significance is overwhelming. Thanks again and good luck!

Re: Using the RN-XV WiFi Module as a Remote Switch

Rudy Van Nuffelen — Mon, 07 May 2012 16:45:23 -0000

Hi,
I like your tutorial and got mine working quite quickly, I'm on 2.32 and everything works well.
I wonder how I can get a webserver to post something to the Wifly module. Say I would like to make a GPIO change level as an output to switch something, how would you do that on a Wifly ?
All the examples in the user manual are about posting data when something happens on a io pin. I would really like to do the inverse.
Thanks for helping out or giving a hint.

Re: Controlling Deluge Auto-Management and File Priorities via Python

The line
client.core.add_torrent_url(torrentURL, '/home/daleth/Downloads/'+filename, {'auto_managed':False}).addCallback(added)

is invalid in the latest version of Deluge (1.3). The save path should be passed passed as the 'download_location' parameter in the options dictionary. For instance,

client.core.add_torrent_url(torrentURL, {'download_location': '/home/daleth/Downloads/'+filename, 'auto_managed':False}).addCallback(added)

Re: Measuring XBee signal strength from the RSSI pin

Ram Kumar — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 14:19:29 -0000

hello there... how can i measure the value of Rssi xbee in dbm using microcontroller(arduino uno) using xbee shield.. the output from pin six of xbee shield is 3.3v and when i give it to analog pin it shows 750's value. As the distance change i get more zeros and few 750's value. if i use your code and give it to digital it gives 60's and 50's till 20's according to distance. not dependable at all.. can you pls tell a way to get the RSSI in dbm using the microcontroller. It will help a lot. thank you.

If I recall correctly, if you don't connect Analog Reference, the ATmega uses Vcc as AREF, so either way is fine. Double check in the manual to be absolutely sure.

I found a dozen circuits for ATMega328. Half show pin 21 AREF floating and half have AREF to VCC. Which would be correct.

Or, for WiFi, 802.11n has a maximum bandwidth of 600Mbit/s.

Re: The Ultimate Cheap DIY Media Center Device

Ted Hayes — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 09:15:22 -0000

Say an MP3 is about 1mb per minute. That's ~17kb/sec or ~133kbits per second. A 100BaseT ethernet LAN has a bandwidth of 100megabits per second. Nothing to worry about.

Re: The Ultimate Cheap DIY Media Center Device

Stelucca — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 23:46:53 -0000

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the setup. I'm thinking about music streamed from a local device, stored locally. I understood that music in this scenario is being streamed over the LAN from one device to the Foxconn, e.g. Laptop --> Wireless Router --> Foxconn media center. If the wireless router is also serving several other computer connections (WAN), I was concerned there might be lags in music playback or internet connectivity. Or were you streaming the music directly to the media center directly, not routed through your home wireless router? Just wondering if with several other users on the network it might make more sense to get a hard disk for the media center.

You can wire it as described here—just power, ground, rx and tx.

Hi T3dbot!

How do you connect RN-XV to Arduino Uno? Does it matches the pins directly or should I use some kind of breakout board?

Thanks in advance!

just make sure you're logged in to your Google account and throw this in the form box that accesses "/openid" path / function: (web.webopenid.host)
https://www.google.com/account...

It will say:

Not sure exactly what you mean. Do you mean streaming media solely from the internet? That would depend on your internet connection.

Re: The Ultimate Cheap DIY Media Center Device

Stelucca — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 17:03:12 -0000

This is great! I was looking for exactly this kind of setup and am so happy to have found your detailed solution. Just a quick question about the setup: if I'm streaming all my music to the media center, would I expect it to negatively affect network performance if simultaneously connected to the Internet? I'm wondering if there is much advantage to getting a hard disk and physically storing media on there. Thanks again!

T3db0t — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 12:46:22 -0000

Hm, well the shield is just patching tx and rx, so it's probably not interfering. Have you tried it yet with just the module itself? Also, the WiFly library may have changed; it could have something to do with setUart...

Re: Getting started with the RN-XV WiFi Module & Node.js

Kaarel Hanson — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 12:32:06 -0000

Hi!

I'm using Arduino Mega ADK together with Arduino Wireless SD Shield and RN-XV module but cannot get this code working. I also use TinkerKit Mega Shield for Led lights, idea is basically the same: set led on when wireless network is accessed or if failed. After a bit of debugging I found that processing stops or hangs in WiFly.begin(); endlessly. Could this be because I use a shield instead of directly connecting the module to Arduino?

Re: Getting Started with Clojure & Processing

T3db0t — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 09:15:55 -0000

Thanks! I really like Clooj because it's a very quick start for teaching a class with—nothing has to be installed. I'm not familiar yet with maven and leiningen (just know of them). For the short term I may just put up a repo with the already compiled binaries and example scripts, as long as it doesn't conflict with Processing's license. Great to hear from you, and thanks for making Clooj!

Re: Getting Started with Clojure & Processing

Arthur Edelstein — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 19:14:48 -0000

This sounds really fun -- I'll have to give it a try. As you say, there's a lot left to do to make clooj easier to work with -- I'd be glad to hear any suggestions on making things more elegant. One thing that might help the workflow is to put the various needed jars in Clojars or another public maven repo and then use leiningen to set up the directories.

No, it's a 5mm DC power jack that kind of looks like a 1/4" phono plug from the outside ;)

Kirk — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 11:20:42 -0000

so you have a headphone jack for the power connector?
