Off the top of my head... the virtual arduino is linked to say 5 mates here on the forum or a complete stranger.. say 4 of us.. we look through a list of active projectsl
And pick something to be try out..
- small game when you push a button a message gets sent to the server and everyone whos running intrrfacing with the virtual arduino (just a basic server to telay packets to others)
eg turn on a relay and boil the kettle
turn on a light /tv if you're out
Invent new games people can build and play with others
remotely demonstrate a prototype
Ability to recompile and modify own code without affecting the operation of the other arduinos connected to the server
eg
Digitalwrite(.....)
Avs (aurdino virtual server).. so we can instruct it and relay it.
avs.update(pin1);
avs.updateallpins();
//each client the gets a packet p1,0,p2,1....*
and the event happens to everyboard linked
Games, security, prototyping (remotely), watch scary movies and make an evil pair of eyes come to life, in the loop it polls for any incoming data and carries it out you could then do it back at certaib timed..
leave digital messages for each other
fix bugs and when approved have win/linux update the program for auto bug fixes.. bored look for a new project.. create a sensor network have 100 people all feeding real time data to each other .. .. or simply virtually connect virtually press a button have the event carry out on all the real arduinos connected connect to grandmas house switch on the heating turn on the lights or alarm boil the kettle check sensors all via a remote server.. no router virtual server required it will even run behind a network..
use your imagination
