COMPUTER OPERATED RECONNAISANCE ENTITY ~ DroidUMM

Desperately in need of a graduation paper, [Andrei] decided to build a few computer controlled recon vehicles (PDF warning), and we’re really impressed with the minimalist approach [Andrei] took.

The Computer Operated Recon Entity (C.O.R.E.) mk. I is based around a laptop. Instead of an Arduino, [Andrei] used a car stereo amp to control the motors. The two channel amp [Andrei] picked out has four outputs. Tying a motor to each output gives a four-wheel drive robot that’s really clever in its simplicity. With an onboard webcam, [Andrei] can do live video streaming from his remote vehicle. Outputting a specific tone with the sound card allows for full control of the robot.

The C.O.R.E. mk. II uses a Samsung Galaxy I5500 phone – the cheapest Android phone [Andrei] could find. The setup is similar to the mk. I C.O.R.E. with a WiFi connection sending video back to a base station. Control of the two motors is still handled by playing sound files and sending that to a stereo amp connected to the motors.

Check out the C.O.R.E. mk. II going Bach and forth after the break

WhatsAppSniffer Hack WhatsApp

Who uses WhatsApp Messenger? From The look of the Play Store listing , a damn lot of people. Considering it's so popular, it's probably a pretty secure app, right? Think again. WhatsApp actually sends all chats in plaintext , so anyone on the same Wi-Fi network can easily pull your entire conversation - including pictures and videos - straight out of the air. And now, that process is even easier than ever thanks to a new app called WhatsAppSniffer . It's basically just a packet sniffer, but it makes the process of pulling WhatsApp chats out of the sky stupid-easy, and that's never a good thing. You might as well just shout your private conversations across the room.

[Concept] Model View Present (MVP) Pattern for Architecture Android~ DroidUMM

Model-View-Presenter (MVP) is an architecture pattern for the presentation layer of software applications. The pattern was originally developed at Taligent in 1990s and first was implemented in C++ and Java. In MVP, the View and the Model are neatly separated and the View exposes a contract through which the Presenter access the portion of View that is dependent on the rest of the system. [Next Article Implement MVP on Android] The Model is the component which preserves data, state and business logic; it just exposes a group of service interfaces to Presenter and hides the internal details. The View is the user interface, it receives user’s action and contract to Presenter to achieve user’s need, and then the View responds user by result information. The Presenter sits in between the View and the Model; it receives input from the View and passes commands down to the Model. It then gets result and updates the View trough the contracted View interface.

[App] Papyrus Android Note

As part of my job, I spend a lot of time in meetings with potential customers, and taking lots and lots of hand-written notes. My problem has been that I’ve had to use a physical book and never had an easy way of taking electronic hand-written notes. Until now.
