- Phases of domoticPS2

    The project is divided chronological into 4 phases:

    · PHASE 0: TEST OF VIABILITY

        domoticPS2 is a very complicated project and we did not know if we
could be able to make it.  
         "if we are able to turn on a light bulb, we can make the rest".
        the scene is:

       Elements:

            - PL2303 Wire:

           -  Receiver: 
               the receiver AM12, reads the
               broadcast command and if all works
               fine, turn on the lavalamp.

       Process:

1. To study USB and RS232 protocol.
2. Develop a skeleton usb driver.
3. To study PC<->CM11 light-on order.
4. Build the minimal driver.
   

      · PHASE 1: DEVELOP THE FULL DRIVER
 

         the driver is divided in two parts. A PL2303 driver module and CM11 Marmitek
         serial driver. the first module runs over IOP processor, whereas other runs over
         EE.

      · PHASE 2: ENGINE

         the 3D engine was developed from stracth. Only use the ps2dev math library. We
         have developed an abstraction layer to build DMA chains.

         Two handicaps were developed:
                
                      - A full-clipping shuterland-hodgeman running over VU 1 unit.
                      - Simple render algorithm. simplified phong model running over
                         VU 1 unit.

      · PHASE 3: CONTENTS

         We are engineers, not designers. We have to make 3d models, graphics, textures, etc. it was hard. In addtion we used GPL software.
