cool!
In regards to this info in your post;
I can make a
java socket meet a python socket, change the ticks on the slider so that they represent the duty cycle in 0.001 increments and send each of these instructions through the socket to my python program to increase the rpm of my motors. I believe that each instruction will have to be a byte large though so if i went from 0-50% throttle in a second then it would have to
send 500 bytes worth of information.I have played with somthing of this nature with a communications center, and found the (for me)
java to python more than I could handle, and so I used
Perl. I had to interface a C++
dedicated program for perhiperial control, while the
Perl program acted like a gateway to interface to
any other programs that might be needed. A cool concept,
I was making a robotic glider, which looked
like the
starship enterprise, to be controlled by a group of people dressed up like Kirk, Checkov, Spock,
in a trailer that was modified inside to look like the old starship bridge. They would fly the glider around with on
board cameras, with touch screen controls on their console, just like Star Trek. I was with a group of
Trekkies, who absolutely love the Star Trek series. I never finished the glider, as the group was dissolved.
But, ohh boy! was it fun to try!
What would Commander Data think of me?
