This is a simple GUI written in C without a RTOS ( WinCE, Linux, .. ). The entire GUI library is less then 32K of code. Written for the FreeScale iMXS.
This is a demonstration of streaming audio and control over 802.15.4.
The music is streamed over 802.15.4 to the robot, and is played out of the speaker iin the robot.
The same stream includes data for the robots dance moves.
802.15.4 is a wirless standard
