Wooohoo, it can actually sync to the robot and read the flash! With bi-directional communication, you can send commands and recieve data, like, in the picture below “GETSLOTS” which recieves what slots are occupied! Overall really nice, and I polished it a bit.

Added a virtual/live robot connected mark (so you can actually see if the robot is a mock or not) with a package counter and hopefully working battery indicator in the future! Also better visualisations and less lag due to setState being called every 20ms (which rebuilds the entire page every tick)

The project is getting way better, mostly because of the BLE-telemetry now working and connecting! You can actually see your robot live due to my python changes. Now it’s time to work on recording and changing specific slots.

Getting way better using Flutter, I’m really learning it.
I now have a cool analytics page, starring a location visualisation, battery bar, X/Y and yaw/pitch/roll gyro plus visualisation. I’m ready to start coding Bluetooth communication now.

I’m almost done with the python script, but I started to work on the big boy RoboTrack app, which you can see a visualisation of what the RoboTrack robot thinks. Every grid square is 1 cm and it nearly updates live.
I also implemented some mock data generators. If you do not have a SPIKE robot, you can still test it out because the app emulates a robot.

I’ve started to work on the Flutter Dart Frontend for RoboTrack and made the python script way more robust. It’s hard, really hard to make sure that the hardware-side of this project is doing as it should. It always spins or lives it’s own life.

OMG I was busy for SO long finding ONE simple bug regarding the robot spinning in circles. It was really simple. Most bugs are.
However, I found it out and now it’s getting better every update! I really hope no more bugs show up, but it’s inevitable.

I got motorsnapshots working, so you can program motors other than wheels. This is really important for the robot but really hard to implement with the strict 8-byte limit on each instruction. I managed to get it working by combining signed 16-bit integers and unsigned 8-bit integers.

I finished the framework of the RoboTrack main Python script. It now uses odometry to calculate it’s position and can drive to specific coordinates. It can write bytes to flash memory and can read them.
It’s now time to write a bytecode interpreter to actually give meaning to the written and read bytes.

Cat New Tab is done, a sleek, useful, simple app that just works and lets you search DuckDuckGo whilst seeing cats in between! You can also get a useful cat fact using the free API.

I started to work on the logic for the LEGO robot, it can now track it’s position using sin(rad) and cos(rad) where rad = angle * pi / 180 and applies it to x, y and last_distance.
Sorry sometimes I use devlogs to nerd talk :)

Oops, I nearly forgot to write the README.
I polished everything and if nothing went wrong it’s now live.

CatAudio is the final app for WebOS 2: an app where you can play two soundtracks composed by the great great…. me??
Guys I really need FL Studio cuz my DAW is feeling like editing audio like MS Paint. However, I’m still very proud. Just a few more changes and then I can ship.

Oohhh, spicy Notepad save/load system and settings panel where you can change the background image, the background transparency (brightness) and even the font.

CatOS is done! The app now fully works, has three apps (new is a notepad, which you can write in. It does not yet save, so upon closing a tab (not minimizing) you’ll lose the notes. I’ll add save/load in WebOS 2). The app feels really smooth. Go check it out on https://catpowerz.github.io/StardanceWebOS/

Once you got your WebOS framework done, making new windows isn’t even that hard. The second app on the desktop is now a picture of my cute cat named Pixel :).
I also polished a bit (by making windows spawn randomly) and got ready to make the third and final app for WebOS 1, a notepad.

I now have a welcome window ready. Basic functions, like open/close, minimize, and fullscreen now work. Also topbar and bottombar work.
You can drag the window btw ;)
Now I’m thinking to add a photo of my cat Pixel and a notepad. I already configured the buttons.
