Nearly 30° outside.. my brother just walked in for dinner with a tan even darker then his Turkish friends. Yikes.. and I keep myself locked up inside, staying pale, t-shirt sweaty & gritty sticking to my skin - while coding & trying to write a thesis. I feel quite geeky now, and this post isn’t go to make things any better. Took me days to get this installation working since I figured the RFID scanner runs at a slightly different speed (baud rate) then the ping sensor. Sounds like jibbish? See it at work:
Right now I’m able to read the value’s from 2 sensors through 1 microcontroller via my COM port with a terminal program. The next obstacle is getting these value’s into Flash. Flash can’t read serial or USB ports, so I’m researching possibilities with serial servers. Apparently these make conversion to sockets possible, and flash can speak through sockets, so..contextual advertising in real life might become reality before this summer? Oops.. now you know what I’m trying to accomplish.
