AVR compiler based on HTML

If you want to get information about AVR compiler based on HTML then you are in exectly right place.It’s surprising what lengths people will go to in order to bring functionality to their smart phones. In this case, [Tadpol] wanted a way to develop for his Arduino on an iOS device like an iPad or iPhone. He figures it’s possible to rewrite the IDE as HTML5, but since that’s a pretty large mountain to climb, he started by building a browser-based AVR compiler. It’s an interesting concept, and he’s got a working prototype up on Github for you to test. Perhaps you can throw your hat in the ring and help him with development?

The web interface uses boxes to add to the code. What you see above is three sets of commands which will blink an LED. The project, named Avrian Jump, uses a simple ladder language to feed the compiler, with several different options for output. The most interesting in our mind is a WAV file which can be used to program an AVR from the audio out of your device. That would make programming as simple as connecting the specially modified AVR to your headphone jack. There’s also an ASCII output which allows you to save your programs for later alteration, S19 output for AVRdude programming, and an assembler output for debugging purposes. It’s hard to see where this project might go, but we have to admit that the concept is intriguing.

Iphone as the brain of robots


It is the very interesting article about Autonomous robots that Iphone is uses as their brains.






At the beginning of the school last year, [Ryan] needed to come up with a project for his master’s thesis. Having a bachelor’s in mech. engineering and doing his graduate work in software engineering allowed [Ryan] to do something really cool for his thesis; he decided to turn an iPhone into an autonomous robot with live video streaming, remote control, and  object detection.
[Ryan] started building his ArduiPhone last October with an Arduino,  motor shield, and a Magician Chassis. The software is based on an iPhone network programming tutorial that opens a socket connection to a desktop PC and relays commands to an Arduino serial port.
One of the more interesting features of [Ryan]‘s ArduiPhone is the ability to stream video directly from the phone to a Java application. Instead of FaceTime, [Ryan] streams videos by converting an image from the front-facing iPhone camera to a byte array, sends it over the network, and decodes the image in a Java app. It’s low-level stuff, but the video quality is excellent and something we’ll probably be seeing more of in the future.

Tool opens iPhone, iPod Touch via web

iPhone hackers have released a tool that allows owners of firmware 1.1.1 iPhones and iPod Touches to open up their devices to third-party apps – all without the need for a host Mac or PC. The utility’s called AppSnapp, and it’s launched via the devices’ Safari web browser. The code uses a known vulnerability with firmware 1.1.1, which it subsequently patches. Before doing so, it activates iPhones, jalbreaks both types of device to allow third-party apps to run, installs Installer, and allows the YouTube app to connect on non-AT&T iPhones.

What it won’t do is unlock an AT&T-only iPhone to allow the handset to be used with other networks. For that, the nine hackers behind AppSnapp suggest downloading and running AnySim 1.1 after you’ve used AppSnapp.

We’d point out that AnySim 1.1 is designed for iPhones that have not yet been unlocked in any way, so shouldn’t be run on firmware 1.0.2 handsets that have been previously unlocked.

Early reports suggest that AppSnapp does exactly what it claims, though the process may take a little time due to the number of users grabbing the code off the AppSnapp web site, jailbreakme.com

Hackers pledge to unlock iPhone from O2 within hours of launch

Hackers are vowing to unlock the iPhone from the O2 mobile network, just days before it goes on sale in Britain. The ÂŁ269 touchscreen mobile phone, dubbed “revolutionary” by its maker, Apple, is already one of the most eagerly awaited of gadgets and stores are expecting a shopper frenzy as it goes on sale in the UK this week. Combining the music and video capability of the iPod, with a touch-sensitive screen and wireless internet access, the iPhone was dubbed “invention of the year” by Time magazine last week.

The phone has prompted shopper queues in the US this year; British consumers can follow suit this Friday, at precisely 6.02pm, in a clock-watching stunt aimed at promoting Apple’s exclusive deal with the British mobile phone network O2.

But a cloud looms on the horizon for the two companies, as hackers said yesterday they would make the phone usable by customers of any of Britain’s other mobile networks.

Apple has been caught in an arms race with hackers since the US launch in June, with programmers trying various ways to unlock the iPhone and break the exclusivity deals with mobile firms, twice succeeding in outsmarting Apple. Software in the UK iPhone locks the handsets into the O2 network but hackers say they will provide a “jailbreak” programme, perhaps within hours of the UK launch.

Apple’s vice president, Greg Joswiak, said the firm would resist any unlocking of its handsets, confirming comments of the chief executive, Steve Jobs, who said at the launch: “It’s a cat and mouse game. People will break in, it’s our job to stop them.”

Despite scepticism from rival firms, who claimed the iPhone was too costly and short on crucial capabilities for European consumers, those involved in the launch are optimistic. Matthew Key, O2′s chief executive, thinks 200,000 iPhones will have been sold in the UK by the new year.

However, in the US about 250,000 iPhone owners have yet to sign up with the “exclusive” American carrier, AT&T. As this firm pays at least ÂŁ9 of each monthly iPhone subscription back to Apple, the hackers may have lost it as much as ÂŁ27m in potential revenue in a year. A similar pattern in the UK could see Mr Jobs lose perhaps ÂŁ6m just from those buying an iPhone over Christmas. Apple could simultaneously face competition from Google which will announce details of its own gPhone today.
