geotwitta lets you see how far you are from other twitter users running the program. It will post to your twitter account letting you know the distance in kilometers from those users. It is based on a bunch of technologies I wanted to try out. As a result it is somewhat over-engineered for what it [...]
I packaged up the tarball into a debian package: http://zedstar.org/deb/btlogger_0.3.2-1_i386.deb After installing run btlogger –help
I decided to hack my Bluetooth logger so that it could post any new devices it saw to my Twitter account. This should be interesting once I get it setup on my desk at work! After moving to Intrepid Ibex I realised the changes in BlueZ versions borked my software. It took me a while [...]
Bluedog is the name I am going to give to my Bluetooth traffic/stats project I aim to start soon. I have the hardware and software setup with my beagleboard. Ideally I want to setup a few of these at the University where I work and start logging some data in similar nature to http://www.bluetoothtracking.org/ I [...]
I have built btlogger for the beagleboard. The ipk is available: http://zedstar.org/beagle/btlogger_0.2.2-r0_armv7a.ipk It requires the sqlite db some where on the device. Download: http://projects.openmoko.org/frs/download.php/313/btlog.db run btlogger -v to see what it does and reference the db file with -d /location/of/file TODO: I am going to modify the program to log more stats. I should also [...]
Continuing my theme of projects that suffer from issues of critical mass I have began work on fakesat. I was looking for something to do with my beagleboard so decided that using it for this project would be fun. I have ordered a 100 meter Bluetooth dongle so will see how well that really works. [...]
I have updated btlogger to allow various command line options. The software should work on any Linux system with Bluetooth. There is a packaged version for Openmoko: https://projects.openmoko.org/plugins/wiki/index.php?btlogger&id=136&type=g and a binary for the Nokia Tablet: http://zedstar.org/chinook/btlogger An empty database can be dowloaded from here: http://projects.openmoko.org/plugins/scmcvs/cvsweb.php/thumbtribes_project/misc/btlog.db?cvsroot=thumbtribes
As part of the thumbtribes project I began work on a simple bluetooth logger. It logs the MAC address, the broadcast name and the date to an sqlite database. The code is available at projects.openmoko.org
I have been getting to grips with OpenEmbedded and in particular bitbake. When everything works it is a great system and makes building packages for different platforms a piece of cake. I created a bitbake recipe to automatically checkout from CVS and build an ipk. This can be installed on the Neo as follows: opkg [...]
