yet-another-intercom-hack

Hi there !

Sorry for the delay, 'didn't have time to do personal stuff recently ( .. )

for the

still_waiting_for_more_infos

stuff, I got it from http://www.espruino.com/AT

Concerning the modules you bought, I'm sorry to hear you didn't get those to work using the link provided on the SIM900 module page :/
( I did also purchase one SIM900 module while getting those cheap SIM800L, but I didn't take time to test it, although I was & still am quite interested in the tts capability available on those .. and not, sadly, on the SIM800L .. )

Whenever I'm back to interfacing the SIM800L with Espruino, I'll post updates on this thread & also on https://github.com/stephaneAG/SIM800L#espruino-sim800l-module-api

For the SMS thing, if I recall correctly I was about to / done implm some working code thanks to one of our prev talks, so I'll just digg my notes/code & update that as well as reflect the update on the github repo ( .. )
Nevertheless, I'll digg what you suggest to see if some have tried some fancy chars in their SMS, or even MMS ? ( .. )

ps: after opening 8 dvd drives, & collecting 3 stepper motor-driven mechanism, I may be able to hack myself those tiny 3 axis thingy ;P
nb on the ps: it makes me wonder: would it be feasable to implement a Grbl in js ? ^^

ps2: while not currently working on it ( I need more tiiiiime ... :/ .. ), I recently done some experiments with both NodeJS ( write a basic module, & learn how to write a C++ one ) & Electron ( github's NodeJS-based app framework ), and it was quite frustrating not being able to make that nodeJS module you wrote for Espruino working within Electron ( & looking online, it seems I'm not the only one experiencing this issue .. ): any lucky guess ?
Also, on a near subject, I really have to digg how to 'mix' some aspects of Chrome Packaged Apps with Electron apps: being able to handle weblinks is a must, while having native-like top menus is really neat & 'feels' native ( contrary to the way ChPaApps & node-webkit worked .. ).I think it may be done in several ways, one of hich may be spawning a Chrome Packaged App that handles weblinks within the Electron app ( if we can't make the Electron app direcly recognize chrome weblinks, which could be understandable )

ps3: I almost forgot ;)
The other day, I was writing some silly script to deduce which combo of resistor values from a particular stack would fit the required value or be the closest to it.
The simplest fcnality was easily done after some tinkering ( "get biggers first" ;p )
Then, while this worked 'fine', sometimes, an alternative 'combo' allows ending up with less resistors ( for a remaining difference closests to 0, aka closer to the required value ).
I consider the above achieved, and after a slight mod of my script it could do that as well ;)
Now, when I'm back at it, I'd really love to be able to get the "best of both worlds" by deducing the 'best' combo in terms of "the less resistors used the better" in combining the above 'ways' of doing so ( ..).
I wonder how complicated it can get or instead how silly it could be, but I didn't finish my logic on paper to be able to implm some test code ..
.. be my guest ? ^^

( the NodeJS module is working fine, and before that I could even generat a poster-like of the resistors I own by hacking around chrome browser javascript console logs & imagemagik ;D )

I'll be back with updates as christmas gifts ;P
Keep up the good work +
