Cellular Phone controlling Bluetooth-enabled SPOTs
SPOT World has been ported to run on a cell phone and uses a Sun SPOT connected to a Bluetooth module to act as a base station proxy to the world.
A video of all this working is available here:
The SPOT World that is running on the cell phone is the same code that is available on the Sun SPOT’s CD with some minor modifications to make it JME compatible. The standard SPOT World views, Tree View and Grid View, can’t run on a cell phone because they require JFC/Swing. To overcome this problem the author created his own view, Menu View, which allows one to manipulate remote SPOTs using a standard cell phone list UI. The other addition is code to open a Bluetooth radio stream connection to the Bluetooth-enabled SPOT.
Great work!
