The picture above shows how you can prototype a new application
using iStuff. The iStuff components communicate with their
Proxys through a wireless connection. The Proxys can post
messages (called ‘events’) to the Event Heap or receive them
from it. The Event Heap is a transmission path that allows
multiple transmitters and receivers to interact with each
other at the same time.
In order to control the iSpeaker with the iDog you can connect
both to the Event Heap. Make the iDog post an event whenever
it gets handled and let the iSpeaker play whenever it receives
this event. In case the iDog sends another event than the
one the iSpeaker expects, the intermediate Patch Panel could
translate the event. In the tutorials below you will find
more detailled information about how the separate components
work and how you can use them.
