This is a challenge here. I'd like to update this site with images of the progress on this telebot project.... But I'm stuck in a mess of javascript webapp code. I might add that it is non functional code.
And did I mention that I'm stuck in it?
Now I can't tell if it's that I'm bad at this or that I'm just very very impatient with javascript.
Let me step back and explain the overall picture of this project.
The first half is the hardware and the local realtime control that I've proven can work. In a lot of ways, that has been the easy part.
The second half is the webservice/internet remote control side.
Eh, I think it was June 21 when I was trying to nap unsuccessfully while thinking over how to make the webservice work. I need access control and I need an admin panel I could use locally to override the random
internet dwellers that want to crash my laptop into things.
As I laid there the solutions began to mill around in my brain.
I'll keep the bot communicating with my local computer. I've dubbed
that HQ for headquarters of course. So, then I'll have a page on
this site or 'another' that curious internet folk can stumble upon
and checkout the status of Mr. Autonomous. That service talks
to HQ and HQ relays instructions to Mr. Autonomous.
Sounds simple right?
Simple as in.. requires 4 programming languages to complete this whole
task. (And a few file formats)
Think of it as a song.
The robot is runin' the C code.
The C Code is talkin' to the java.
The Java is talkin' to the HQ
The HQ is usin' the PHP
PHP is servin' the javascript
And that's what makes this crazy thing work.
... eventually.
*Points to anyone whom can tell me what tune I'm going for
there.
