Over the summer

Hey guys,

I just wanted to write a quick post about what will be going on with BlueMesh this summer.  Sean will be working on the project with RCOS at RPI and he has a lot of really awesome things that he plans to do.  I will be working up by Boston this summer, but I will still try to help out as much as possible.

Some of the changes we hope to implement are as follows:

1)  Port BlueMesh to Java.  Currently BlueMesh only works on Android devices, we plan to port it to Java so it will run on PCs as well.  This will make development much easier and quicker.  Once we have a working version in Java it should be quick and painless to port it back to Android.

2)  Implement message chunking.  Message chunking will allow us to determine the optimum maximum size of a message and allow us to chunk messages into this maximum size in order to allow for maximum throughput.

3)  Implement routing algorithm.  This will allow for point to point communication rather than flooding the network with every write.

There are other changes that are also in speculation right now in addition to these three.  I'm sure Sean will be updating us with his progress often and I look forward to seeing BlueMesh progress.
