So thought I might elaborate on the SPOTGrid first, the general thinking is that we are pushing the idea of many of these embeddable computers being used to get some task done, we havent got a simulator yet ( we are working on it, but its slow going, typical resource constraints, nother story nother day ) so provide a bunch of SunSPOTs on some sort of bench so that our developers could try running on a whole bunch of the things all at once without having to buy them all. We are working on it now, and have a 7x7 grid of them up on the whiteboard in the bigroom, Pete just got them up and happy, and the rest of the guys are ready to drop some knowledge on it ... umm ... yeah, well some java anyway. We are working on a remote access scheme, scheduling of interaction time and good way to return results of the run, and we are incorporating all this into, wait for it, SPOTWorld. Thats a tool that has been developed here to work with SPOTs, and even generally with lots of embedded nodes of any type, its a work in progress. anyhow, Ill post pictures of it sometime, check ya later. oh yeah, comments/questions welcome.
