One such project is a web based tool for graphically displaying data in a web page. I am currently looking up how to use web sockets for interactivity however the generic plotting has come around quite nicely. I have come at a point with the RFID project to where I cannot gain enough visibility into my project given the lack of test tools so... this project I am working on is solve the problem I have concerning the space to some degree which is the lack of test tools.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I do admit, my conversations with Bill and Dave have largely influenced my motivation for creating these basic test tools when there was a discussion about school systems spending way too much on what the current market has to offer for simple tools used for science experiments in the classroom. With that, I am currently developing the frame work and library to 1) eventually make a low speed oscilloscope that is based on micro controllers 2) live data plotting of virtually any device streaming to a largely 3) platform independent system.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>The framework I am working on is simple and would be a great time for people to learn how to write code (I will be assisting) as well as joining me on my journey to make some cheap test tools for the lab and our home work shops. I am currently using Google Drive to back up and host my project, if anyone is interested please let me know because I am willing to share the project with anyone and help teach for those who are inclined. For those of you that may wish to skip ahead through Code Year and jump right to the fun part of all the lessons and start working on an application, now is a great time to jump in and have fun! I am open to using skype and/or google talk for discussion as I work for essentially creating a virtual hacker space during my absence. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Dave, I would like some input into how this framework should work in terms of possibility being used as a platform in the future for creating and allowing cheap science tools in the classroom if at all possible. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Tom, what I'm working on will just use a serial interface or USB to a micro controller so given the simplicity and generic state of communication this will work on PIC, Atmel, ARM, etc. Input from your perspective would be nice especially concerning that I'm sure you know what it's like looking at a bunch of numbers through a terminal for recovering data. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>What I currently have so far is in my code year folder in another folder title'd "bar graph" which should be viewable <a href="https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0BwJ35QhLZLVfLVgwN25yNVRPZzg/edit">here</a>. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>A call for help... does anyone have any input on how to work with websockets?
