spots-midi - Interfacing MIDI to Sunspots
yggdrasil - Reference implementation of a data collection framework
******Java.net Open Source Hardware******:
spot-espot - The eSPOT processor board is the heart of the SunSPOT system.
spot-edemo - Demonstration add-on board for Sun SPOT eSPOT
spot-ebones - eBones is a collection of information for how to make an add-on application
board for the SunSPOT wireless sensor network module: the eSPOT.
This is a good starting place if you are contemplating making a
custom sensor system.
spot-eproto - Prototype board with simple interface to SunSPOT eSPOT
spot-eprotomega - eSPOT Prototyping board with Atmega88 processor
spot-eflash - MiniSD card reader/writer add on board for Sun SPOT eSPOT
spot-eserial - RS232 Serial interface board for the SunSPOT eSPOT
christmasspots - Santa Claus now has wireless helpers. Here you will find the ChristmasSPOTs code. Using this code, we
succesfully used our SunSPOTs to play secret santa. You can do so too
ctp - Collection Tree Protocol for Sun SPOTs
drip - A data dissemination protocol for Sun SPOTs and TinyOS motes.
trackbot-greenfoot - Robot simulator support including sensor suites
spottrackbot - Java robotics application for SunSPOTs and Systronix Trackbots
trackbotcode - Runtime libs, example and test code for Systronix TrackBot
spot-angi - Use Sun SPOT technology to present angular motion and indicate specific sections of the path as important.
SpotCara - Uses Sun SPOT technology to control simple RC cars.
SpotCreate
- SpotCreate is a Java application designed to run on SunLab's SunSPOT
wireless Java controller and manage the iRobot Create robot platform
for investigating group behaviors.
SpotGestureController - SpotGestureController is a SunSPOT Java application for the wireless control of remote devices using hand gestures.
nxtsquawk - Squawk JVM for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT
Sun's Black Box Project
Greenfoot Java Development
spots - the Main Sun SPOT project
spot-eusbhost - USB host interface to Sun SPOT eSPOT (as Roger noted on the call; this project is looking for volunteers to develop a prototype USB host interface..join this java.net project if interested.)
*****Other Java.net Open Source Sun SPOT Projects***:
******Some Selected Interesting Projects****:
Systronix Trackbot
Blimps - Autonomous Light Air Vessels ALAVs - Jed Berk - Art Center College of Design
And of course See the SunSPOTWorld website:

Sun SPOTs provide a flexible and robust development platform for
wireless, battery powered nodes. The Sun SPOT Java Development Kit
provides everything you need for embedded applications such as environmental data collection, autonomous swarm robotics and home
automation. Roger Meike of Sun Labs will present some examples of
developing embedded applications using Java and the Sun SPOT platform.
This conference call was open to the Java Champion and JUG community on java.net who have an interest in embedded Java and SunSPOTs. Sun is looking for feedback on ways the Community could help us boost developer interest and ultimately active usage of the SunSPOT devices and the SquawkVM.
This event was made possible by the members of the Sun Java User Group (JUG) Programs: Reggie Hutcherson, Director of Technology Outreach; Nichole Scott, Program Manager; and Aaron Houston, Program Coordinator.
