Help us debug!

If you're really excited about BlueMesh, here's how you can help up debug.

What you need:

  • Eclipse + Android SDK + Eclipse Android plugin
  • 2+ Android devices, OS-2.1 or newer
  • At least 1 micro USB cable to connect phone to computer
What you need to do:

If you do not want to compile the code, I will post a compiled .apk and put it on the BlueMesh website (www.bluemeshproject.com) which you can download and run on your devices.  If you do this, then skip directly to step two.

Step 1: Because BlueMesh is a Library, we use CLD (https://github.com/schnej7/Android_CommandlineLikeDisplay) to test BlueMesh.  The current version of the repository has an example program that uses BlueMesh to Launch the service and read and write data to the other devices.  You can download the source for both CLD and BlueMesh.  You will need to set BlueMesh as an Android library and link to it from CLD in order to compile it.

Step 2: Once you have it all compiled, you can run the .apk on your device through Eclipse which will give you a debug log.  Feel free to submit your bug fixes through github or simply send your debug log and a brief description of of the behavior of the program to schnej7@rpi.edu.

I encourage anyone who is interested to help out debugging, we will be able to debug much quicker the more logs we get.  Thank you all in advance for your help!
