CE Project: CE Messenger (now called CE:IM)

[bayazidahmed]

Is this topic dead or has it been moved?

I am free as of now and willing to contribute in the programming part. Is there a team ready? Is some one working on it? If any help is needed, feel free to rope me in...

Hi bayazidahmed,

The project has been halted for some time. But since lot of new members have joined (and the activity has shoot up) we can think about starting this project afresh.

What say, fellas?

Welcome to Crazy Engineers! Yep, looks like theres some activity again here. Keep posting the forums!

Before we start any project, we need a thorough plan (we ARE engineers after all). xheavenlyx has a good start with the CE Bot, giving a timeline and direction. One of us should post again the objectives and components of the CE Messenger.

You call it activity, when only one more person starts posting? Big_K are you sure there are 9k+ members, or is the k there by a mistake?

Ah, you are specifically talking about this thread? lol.. then yeah, there isn't much activity then. As I mentioned in the CE Bot thread, we need a critical mass of active people to get things going!

Just like you need to equal or go above the nyquist rate to avoid aliasing, you need to certain number of active members to avoid.. inactivity of projects

Hi Shalini, check this thread out: CE - Project Related Ideas & Discussions

CEans had some intense discussions regarding the development of CE Messenger there, but it sorta died down. Read through it, it'll give you an idea on the direction it was heading

Hopefully we will post a summary of it, as well as a concise list of objectives!

Alright, before we start compiling the goals for CE:IM, I think these are the stuff we seem to be agreeing on:

- It will be programmed using C/C++
- First version will use the Command Line Interface (eg DOS), which can then latter be supplanted by simple GUI's.
- Be portable

For more details, check Desijays post here:

I dont have the faintest idea about the discussions on p2p and nodes are about, but hopefully that'll be clear once we compile everything up

Oh, do you know what shocked me just now? Read this post dated 31st May 2007 on the same thread:

A robot will require the skill sets of an electrical engineer, mechanical engineer and computer science engineer.

Let create one with the follwing sensors

Ultrasonic for proximity sensing
Temperature
Webcam to see on PC
bluetooth or FM for controlling

Thats almost what we are doing for the CE Bot now!! This dude is a psychic.
