They are easy to setup and use within a LAN. The problem is the complexity to set it up to work behind a NAT which will be the maximum use case. For example your machine will be in a LAN connected to the internet through a modem/router and the target machine will also be connected to the internet in a similar fashion. You need to open ports and do port forwarding in the router. This is no easy task for a beginner.

[Ilugc] [OT] Suggestion for controlling Arduino with Android over blue tooth
Hi, This is just for a hobby work. I want to control a hardware device from my android phone like how a RC toy works. I have hands on with Android. I can code in python as well. I am planning to purchase a ready-to-assemble robot kit from a local vendor. And I would like to have an interface with the robot and my phone over blue tooth. I hope we can create that interface with Arduino. I don't have any hands on experience with hardwares. Does anyone have experience with these kind of work before? Can anyone point out where can I start with? And also it will be good if you can mention where can I buy appropriate hardwares. My budget is around 5k. -- Karthikeyan NG www.intrepidkarthi.com ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Does anyone have experience with these kind of work before? Can anyone point out where can I start with? Most standard robot kits or micro-controller kits won't come with a Bluetooth interface. Typically you should have some hardware skills like soldering to attach a Bluetooth module to the robot controller or micro-controller. Bluetooth modules are available in India here: http://www.rhydolabz.com/index.php?main_page=indexcPath=130_132zenid=33bec775ec53e194fdbf361c65b1cb99 Typical arrangement will be like this: Micro-controller-Serial Interface-Bluetooth Module -- Over the air - Android phone's Bluetooth subsystem - Android Bluetooth API (RFCOMM) Most Bluetooth modules are serial drop ins in which case no setup from software (embedded, micro-controller) is required. Some devices might require you setup the device from the micro-controller (like device name, baud rate etc.) In principle, setting up a Bluetooth link between a mobile phone to a robot controller or micro controller is not very difficult, but not child's play either if you are not a micro-controller regular :) Regards, Arun Venkataswamy http://wondroussky.blogspot.in/ கற்றது கைமண் அளவு, கல்லாதது உலகளவு - ஔவையார் Known is a drop, Unknown is an ocean ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Very good suggestion indeed. Students would be very much interested to do such a real time project. But we should not forget the reality. I was a Engineering student till last year from one of the anna university affiliated college. So I would share my experience here, I started to think idea for my final year project when I stepped into 6th sem. Even I got an idea of making web search more useful (atleast in my terms) using semantic web. Some kind of minimal search which might be similar to google's page rank but this is using keywords that are present in two or more pages and they would be related in someway. When I started to explain about semantic web and my idea, they said we have google and this project exist, without expecting any more explanation from me dept staff ordered to change the project. So I came up with one more idea related to cloud computing which was also rejected. Except me and few other friends, almost everyone got their project selected since they all went to project center and bought one and we are still to choose a topic. Later I realised that staff's are trying to corner and push us to reach project center. They forced to choose a IEEE Project, one reason was my project guide was doing his Ph.d and he is using me for his phd project which he admitted to me openly and another reason was dept staff's friends own a project center through which staff gains commission. This is not the rarest case, this happens for 90% of students in 95% of college in TN. IIT, MIT, CEG kind of colleges might be exceptional. So first let us think how well staff are supporting and encouraging students to proceed with their own idea, if not this particular discussion and efforts would go wasted.

Nobody stopped you from doing that! The notion that the final year project is very important, and that is the only one that counts, is a single point of failure.

[Ilugc] [OT] Suggestion for a ebook portal
Friends. I am using a 6 kindle to read the ebooks. It improved my reading habit a lot. Many of my friends read the books in their tablets too. Tons of english books are available for free. Unfortunately, there are no much tamil ebooks for reading in the ebook readers. As there is no support for tamil in epub or mobi format, we use LibreOffice writer to convert the text into pdf. We can not read A4 page sized existing pdf books in these tablets and kindle. It needs lot of zoom and other movement to fix the content to read easily. Found a way to create ebooks for these devices. Set the page size as 9cm X 12 cm Paste the content from site like http://www.projectmadurai.org/pmworks.html create pdf file and load it to the device. This will give a perfect reading experience for Tamil books. Wrote about this here. https://onroads.wordpress.com/2012/11/23/how-to-read-tamil-books-in-kindle-ebook-reader/ Like this, many people create books and their collection stay with them. Nowadays, there are many tamil writers share there works in net. We can ask them to release them in Creative commons license so that anyone can create ebooks and share them with all. All our www.kaniyam.com content are in CC license. Like this we can get more sites to give content. We can create tons of ebooks using these content. I am thinking on creating a web portal for organizing and sharing the pdf files for these ebook reading devices. The following are the requirements. 1. Multiuser login [ SSO with openID, facebook etc ] 2. Role based access control to upload, review, approve, publish 3. Download counter 4. Discussion forum 5. Social sharing 6. Books Review section 7. category/tags 8. ratings We can give the following versions of each file. A4 odt A4 pdf 6 odt 6 pdf If we have such a system, the reading habit will increase. I hope Drupal/wordpress can be used to setup such a portal. Do we have any other better system? Can anyone volunteer for setting up the portal?
