23 Boat trip on the Schlei

We were on vacation the last two weeks. During this time, we also made a round-trip by boat on the Schlei. The Schlei is a fjord of the Baltic Sea. We went from Kappeln over Maasholm to Schleimünde, where the Schlei opens out into the Baltic Sea.

Take a look at some of our pictures on flickr:

04 SerialControl

I decided to release this small piece of software. I wrote the code during my Master's thesis. It's a firmware for the Arduino platform, that allows to remote control Arduinos over a serial connection. There are also existing projects, that aim this problem, such as Firmata or Messenger. But if you want to address multiple Arduinos in a XBee peer2peer network, they fails (as far as I know). So I wrote a new firmware with a very simple protocol, which you can grab from the following location:

There is also a page in the Arduino playground:

I'd be glad to get feedback.
