Arduino PWM Part 2
The program was easy, as it was just opening the serial port and sending the data, using a fixed protocol. If you go through the code you will be able to figure that out. I don’t want to explain it, because it’s not convoluted. But it did not work as expected. I had to put a delay between reading data and I am not sure why I had to do that. I did search the internet, to find out why a delay is required, but couldn’t find anything. Just found one posting, which didn’t cover the details, on why we needed. I guess its because it takes some time for the serial data to load. I am not sure how important this is for me. But for RTOS, I guess its important and I hope this delay will be a stumbling block in the future and then I will find a way to tackle it. But for now I will just put a delay of 3ms.
In the video you can see the various scenario, that is controlled by the C# code. I have attached the code and the project in the zip file, if anyone ones to download it. Make sure you connect to the correct ports. If in future I fabricate this board, then I will include the PCB dig., which should be simple. But if anyway wants to know it, do let me know.

Let me explain what insertion does best. It tries to select a certain window and sorts that window and anything added to that window and slowly increases the window till it covers all. The worse case will be when the sequence is reverse and each entry needs to be move to the right, ie each window needs to sort. Here is such an example-->
Input array {100,50,40,30,20,10,9,8,7,6,5};
Normal elapsed--1939912
5>6>7>8>9>10>20>30>40>50>
Decreasing n/window elapsed--9778

Cocktail Sort elapsed--10896

Insertion Sort elapsed--10057
5>6>7>8>9>10>20>30>40>50>
As you can see, there isn't much significant difference between the last 3 because of the order of the array. It seems to tend to the same complexity O(n2). Here is a good site for this-->http://www.iti.fh-flensburg.de/lang/algorithmen/sortieren/insert/insertionen.htm

iShopSmart (ISS)
You grab your phone, open the app called iShop and use the camera function to take a snap of the label/name of the app in the panel and then wallah it searches the net and gets you the cheapest price available using shopping.google.com or simillar web service. Isnt this a great idea and i couldnt find any apps in itunes that does this. But i have too much on my plate to work on it right now. Thats one more thing to add to my to do list. Lets see where it goes....
1) I need to do edge detection
2) OCR
3)Google or someother deal finders/shopping web service.
4)Create a android app/iphone app out of it.

BOA.
What is BOA…..Its not Business Oriented Architecture. Even though some people make business out of it and they are called PIMPS. PIMP is not a short form for anything, I am capitalizing it so that people continue to read at least a few lines and they don’t think that this is another crappy blog post of mine.
So what is this BOA? What is this thing that Pimp can leverage to make money. Well BOA is a concept in the world of business, a world about which B Schools haven’t published any white paper or have done extensive research to apply their crappy laws . BOA stand for Bitch Oriented Architecture. It’s based on my recent visit to Vegas where I found guys distributing pamphlets of escorts whom ,in my context, I will called Bitch. Not to offend anyone, its just that E(Escort)OA, doesn’t sound as appealing as BOA. Its just in context and not a biased opinion that all Escorts are bitches.
Anyway, as I saying , the guys who were distributing the pamphlet are nothing but Webservice. You just have to call them and they will give you the bitches. We don’t need to know what’s going on behind the server (as in the ones that serve and not a computer server even though you can see the analogy). They just provide us the service. This is applicable to all services, I guess, but right now I am concentrating on a specific world. So the pimps are the server providing us service.
Nextwhat is WSDL in this world then. Well WSDL is how we approach them. You just cannot call them up and say I need bitches. There is a definite way to approach them. This mainly depends on what you need them for. I wont get into much details, because if I do I need to get PG+ ratting removed from my blog and also because I don’t have much experience in the WSDL syntax used in this world.
So WSDL is how we talk. Finally, the return type. Some prefer JSON, some prefer XML, and CSV. What are these is BOA world. Well it’s they look like or how they are called. I think XML is blonde, because it looks well formatted and has a good structure to it and you can easily identify a well formatted XML but its really difficult incase of JSON. I cannot be more explicit, once again for PG+ reason. Anyway I think that pretty much covers the return type of a BOA.
So to summarize, the Pimp is the server, Bitch is what we finally get and you are the requester, WSDL is the way you talk and JSON,XML,CSV is what you get…….More comments or discussion welcomed
