As part of my final project at the RCA, I am developing Blog Bot Platform, the development of blogging robots that talk about their experiences. My hope by open sourcing the code is to foster a community of independent implementations that can be injected back into my work.

My Scernarios for Blog Bots are currently being exhibited at the Royal College of Art Show 2008. You can also follow them on twitter, http://twitter.com/lightbloggerbot http://twitter.com/stormbloggerbot http://twitter.com/explorerblogbot.

Hardware implementation and Documentation are in SVN

The Jar file can be downloaded and configured if you do not want to play with source, very experimental. Adjust the files in config directory for your Blog Bot.

Blog Bot Platform makes use of RXTX for Serial (and Parallel) communication, eventually this will need to be integrated into the program (perhaps in a separate LIB folder?) But for now you will have to install it separately as part of your java runtime. For now, you can get RXTX from http://users.frii.com/jarvi/rxtx/
