[Embedlets-dev] GUI pattern for Embedlets?

[Ted K. <tk...@ya...>]

As soon as I am done with my Robocode/Embedlets experimenting I plan on
building an Embedlets/JAPL based milling machine CNC controller.  Has anyone
given some thought to the proper way to interface a Swing based GUI to an
Embedlets application?  My initial inclination is to treat the GUI as a JAPL
peripheral and then have communication between the two occur completely through
events.

i think the service activator may help here to decouple the 
'clientside' gui and the 'serverside' embedlet container via some 
messageing like xml-rpc or else.

Hi,

I would like you to consider openVBB as your GUI framework when I
release Virtual Breadboard with java capability in the next few days. I
will take the effort to put in a embedlet container in the real-time
emulator if you will consider this.

openVBB uses the XML standard SVG (Scalor Vector Graphics) as its basis
and you develop components that can plug into the openVBB framework...
More soon but keep it in mind. 

Also.. Keep in mind that I will be embedlet enabling virtual breadboard
with embedlet components also very shortly.. Lots of good things
happening.

I will definitely look at it.  I have also discovered that Sun did some
experimenting on a GUI toolkit called Truffle which was optimized for use with
displays like touchscreens:

http://java.sun.com/products/personaljava/truffle/

For industrial machines like CNCs, it seems like it would be a good idea to
control them with touchscreens but I will need to research this further.

Also, I am going to experiment with using uVM for providing the implementation
for a realtime JAPL 3 Axis motion control peripheral.  I am finding that coming
up with well-thought-out JAPL peripheral specifications is quite a challenge
but even at this early and crude stage it looks like this technology is going
to be a winner.

The other candidates for the implementation are:

- An 80X86 based realtime multitasking kernal I developed a while back.  About
5 years ago I used to kernel to concurrently control 12 stepper motors on a
large filter wrapping machine that I helped build for a company.  I am very
interested to see how a 100% Java based system compares to this kernel because
it was written in pure assembly language.

- TimeSys's newly released RTSJ compliant JTime.

- A JStamp or a JStik but to be honest I have been holding off doing any
serious development on JStamp or JStik until Ajile releases their CDC/RTSJ
software.

My initial work with uVM, though, leads me to believe that it will up to the
task.
