Register Services
How one instance of MyRobotLab makes contact with another instance.
If MyRobotLab is running on two different machines, they have the capability of contacting one another and sharing resources.
Next version 'Nixie' is coming soon !
Help us to get ready with MyRobotLab version Nixie: try it !
Services
Hardware
- Smartphone running Android 2.3.3 or later
- LED
- 1K resistor
- Arduino bluetooth board, or Arduino clone with bluetooth module
That's "House-ton." The way they say it in New York City.

Here are a few quick screenshots of the next release of MyRobotLab.
New features include :
Example code (from branch develop):
#file : Android.py (github)
# start the service android = runtime.start("android","Android")
Example configuration (from branch develop):
#file : Android.py (github)
!!org.myrobotlab.service.config.ServiceConfig listeners: null peers: null type: Android
Master service for MyRobotLab running on Android. It controls what sensors and resources are exposed and running (GPS, Accelerometer, Camera, Bluetooth, etc)
It is a singleton. Which means only a single instance can be running on any Android device, however, multiple Android devices can pool Services & resources.
Example code (from branch develop):
# start the service log = runtime.start("log","Log")
Example configuration (from branch develop):
!!org.myrobotlab.service.config.ServiceConfig listeners: null peers: null type: Log
A helpful diagnostic Service which knows how to associate itself with a user interface. It can display messages from other Services.
Controls
Start / Stop Logging - starts or stops all logging
The Proxy Service allows interoperability between different services. This would be necessary for Computers running Sun's Hotspot JVM to interact with Phones or devices running Android's the Dalvik JVM.
Example code (from branch develop):
#file : SensorMonitor.py (github)
# start the service sensormonitor = runtime.start("sensormonitor","SensorMonitor")
Example configuration (from branch develop):
#file : SensorMonitor.py (github)
!!org.myrobotlab.service.config.ServiceConfig listeners: null peers: null type: SensorMonitor
The SensorMonitor takes a variety of input data and displays it to a user interface. It also has the capability of adding alerts. An alert would be triggered if a sensor goes above or below some threshold.
Arduino with Bluetooth serial port. MyRobotLab on Android uses this to connect to Arduinos or Arduino clones. A client .PDE will be needed for the Arduino. ArduinoSerialBare.PDE can be used.
