Is there a way to get a list of wireless networks (SSID's) that are currently available? And seeing what is the current connected network? Doesn't need to be exactly the SSID, I just need to identify the current wireless network. ...
I already know the differences between Java Edititions (ME, SE, EE), the ME Configurations (CDC and CLDC), Profiles (like MIDP), and additional APIs specified by JSRs. But I am totally clueless about the differeces of the several Wireless Toolkits. For example, Mobile Tools for Eclipse explicitly supports these ones, and states that o...
We need to perform some experiments on the Bluetooth protocol, and for this we need a development kit which allows us to implement/modify different parts of the Bluetooth protocol stack. We have been looking at the TI MSP430 Wireless Development Tool (EZ430-RF2500). This kit contains a MSP430 MCU and a CC2500 multi-channel RF transceive...
I have a handheld scanning device running Windows 6.0. the handheld is responsible for scanning barcodes at a stationary position outdoors as people enter and leave a building. The primary concern for this application is to get people in and out as quickly as possible. Now the handheld is communicating with a computer in another buildin...
Programs like Connect360, Rivet, and Vuze can wirelessly connect to an Xbox 360 and share videos and pictures on your Mac with it. How do they do this? The simplest answer would be that Microsoft offers some sort of API, but I haven't been able to find one. Furthermore, the programs I listed have wildly different feature sets, and Micro...
I'm working on a project that requires that I can reliably detect the presence of a wireless capability on both a PC and a Mac. Ideally I would want to achieve this through an existing command line tool I could package with my application or that perhaps already exists on the OS. By wireless capability I mean the presence of a wireles...
Hi all.. am working in communication system based embedded project.. i have no background knowledge in communication technologies.. can anyone provide links giving the basics of communication technologies like what is GSM, CDMA, Wireless technologies like wi-fi, WLAN, GPRS, etc.. i have searched the links which give technical aspects.. i...
I remember hearing about how Apple was going to include the ability to deploy an app from Xcode to your iPhone wirelessly in the 3.1 SDK. I believe it was to aid developers that wanted to deploy/test apps that used peripherals that plugged into the iphone's docking port- this way, they could deploy a build of the app with their peripher...
Hi All, I have a Gumstix (runs linux) that im using for a project and would like to be able to configure the ethernet / wifi configuration through a web page running on the built in web server. Think of how routers and the such work - you can log into a default web address and configure everything from there - thats what I want to be a...
I am producing a basic j2me application that collects gps information and then sends it out over a wireless network. It seems like I need a thread to read GPS and a thread to send the data over the network. This seems like a producer/consumer pattern with some sort of queuing mechanism on teh consumer side that will allow the data to...
I'm building an application where a mobile phone with an accelerometer is used to control an app on a computer in a similar way you would use a mouse. So I need to send the movement from the phone to the computer over some wireless protocol. I am thinking about using Bluetooth but I am not sure what transfer delay to expect. Another poss...
To avoid relying on the wireless tools I want to get the essid directly from the device with ioctl, in C this wouldn't be a problem, but in Ruby it's quite different. The problem is following struct from wireless.h that is used as input/reply of ioctl: struct iw_point { void __user *pointer; /* Pointer to the data (in user space) ...
Hello guys, My current project requires me to design a hotspot billing system whereby users connect to the wireless network and when they try to browse, they are prompted to enter their access code after which they will be allowed to browse for an allocated time. Now, the challenge is, i do not know hwere to start from. Any advise fro...
Hi all, Is it possible to send a file using bluetooth programatically ? Any suggestions or any alternative methods ?? Thanks ...
I have a simple mapview that has the following viewdidload method and didupdate to location: - (void)viewDidLoad { NSLog(@"in view did load"); [super viewDidLoad]; self.mapView.showsUserLocation = YES; self.put_url = nil; locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init]; [locationManager setDesiredAccuracy:kC...
Hello everyone! I'm trying to make a microcontroller communicate with a program on my desktop. I'm using serial port connections with Xbee radios on both ends. The communication works fine when I send something from the microcontroller to the desktop and the program on the desktop then sends something back to the microcontroller. Ho...
I wanted to know if any such system already exists for the average open source user. With all of the net neutrality arguments around and with the cost of broadband likely to go up in the future. It seems like a good idea for a open source protocol which allows standard consumer routers to operate together and form a mesh network with o...
I am using a Windows Mobile 6 based hand held device. I there a way to detect low or no wireless signal activity? Since I cannot detect this, my application is getting exceptions and ultimately runs out of threads. ...
I have a lenovo x200t tablet with WWAN built into it. I'm trying to connect to the internet using AT commands and a C# program which I am making so that the program can connect to the net and upload information on demand. I don't want to use Lenovo's "Access Connections" as it is too complicated for the end user. So far I have been ab...
I'm trying to get the SSID of my wireless network device in Java. I tried the official network tutorials http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/nifs/retrieving.html but getDisplayName() getName() don't return SSID. Is there a way to get an exact SSID? Also, I'm also trying to read the wifi signal strength of all my network de...
