Hooray!!

I have the WiFi Socket working in with the WiiConfig. I now need to get a simulation program (Thanks to my friend Kataventos) or get the wifi device working with one of the ProMinis I have sitting.

I don't have the wifi serial module. but i think i can test using router + openwrt + ser2net.
the problem is processing for android is still don't have "processing.net" support.

Yea, I got around that by using android.net. If you like, we can chat more and share techniques, I would prefer over chat or email for now.

At first, I was not going to reply to this but it is just too funny, the port is already done. I just need to get the Wifi working which is nothing to do with the WiiConfig. :lol:

Those wifi-serial adapters do some kind of encapsulaton of the serial stream for pushing it over a wifi connection? The receiving end (PC, tablet, phone) has to extract the serial data from the wifi connection itself, right? The receiving end sees a working IP connection?

So for this to work with more than just one vendor's wifi-serial adapter, do all those wifi-serial adapters share the same protocol for encapsulation?

If using a normal PC or laptop with wifi, all that is required is a Virtual Serial Port: http://www.hw-group.com/products/hw_vsp/hw_vsp2_en.html

If an access point is not being used, then the wifi will have to be configured as adhoc.

After giving this some thought, this project is for me, I really don't care if anyone else can see the benefit from it. I am not receiving any pay for this and all my projects have been a total success to me, it is all about having fun. Here is a preview of what's to coming. :mrgreen:

And here is my Wifi unit that will be installed on one of my copters. Not sure which one just yet however, I will use one of the Prominis I have for testing. :)

Nice!
Good Work!

Is there a source code available somewhere so I can look at wifi implementation ?

EIZO releases two Wi-Fi enabled network displays

Computer display manufacturer EIZO today announced the release of a pair of Wi-Fi-enabled monitors, the DuraVision FDS1702N and DuraVision FDS1702NT, which can receive audio and pictures from a computer on the network.

Both displays allow the connection of a mouse and keyboard via USB which effectively turns the monitor into a thin client for controlling a PC on a network. The T model comes with an additional resistive touch interface as an alternative means of control.

Here is the next logical step for me considering I previous modified the MultiConf GUI to work with a Joystick. Should be very easy to send the serial control packets to the Flight Control over the TCP link. :mrgreen:

Considering I have resumed work on this project, I figured it was time to update this thread. I recently learned how to build a custom version of controlP5 removing the mousepressed allowing simultaneously point reads on an Android tablet touch screen. The following video is prior to the controlP5 Modification.
