Eureka moment

For an Astronomy program, entering the RA and Dec of loads of star locations would be a nightmare. But this data can be downloaded from many sites and transferred over to Fuze. Converting RA and Dec to Alt and Az is straightforward, followed by screen x and y. Up to date comet data, ISS data can then be transferred etc.etc.
Another example would be a simple CAD program which could use external CAD data - buildings, garden data etc.
Perhaps data from Blender could be imported - OBJ files. Now there's an idea !
Midi files could be converted for use by Fuse4.
Many, many other possibilities - too many to mention. -
What happens if you use a terminal program on your PC to send stuff? It looks like the arduino is set up to be a mouse for some reason, but you never know..

-
@toxibunny I'll give it a go.
-
Can anyone give us a hand with the code to convert and display the diamond.obj example ?
Could be on a winner here ! -
If anyone wants to try writing an astronomy program, all the calculations are in "Practical Astronomy With Your Calculator" by Peter Duffet-Smith.

Could be on a winner here !Have you transferred the data to Fuze? In that case, share it and we will see if someone can do something!

OBJ Data transferred via petit4send - no problems.

Just tried a 1800 element OBJ file. Went fine - took about 10 minutes to transfer 400 elements but I didn't transfer all 1800. Looks great. Even 400 elements would be a lot of typing - prone to errors. This is going to be great for large amounts of data.
-
I'm just looking at the 400 odd lines of data entry and I'm absolutely amazed at it. Can't get over it - so easy ! You'd never type that lot in without errors creeping in. Fantastic !
-
Important to send a single character before sending the main file. This syncs the arduino with Fuze4.

@faz808 I downloaded "obj_reader" and added some code to draw the diamond object using simple rotation, lighting and back face culling (without perspective projection or depth ordering).

Some months ago I tried using a different - and lengthy - technique. Wire cube with hidden line removal.
wire_cube ID: NDVHCNND15 (pending) -
Just entered "Humanoid". It's very small but he's there. I'm not sure how to make him bigger.
Don't want to muck up the existing code, Gothon !Humanoid ID: 78Y63MND15 (pending)

Are we in trouble here? Quote from an different post:-
Nintendo put the kibosh on that right up front: "no external, non-approved content coming on to our platform". -
I don't think so. You can already create whatever you like. We would still have to approve it for sharing
-
Thanks for that, pianofire. That's a relief - I was getting worried there.
-
@faz808 Line 156 change to ....gHeight()/36 .... displays Humanoid at a viewable size.
