RE: Plant a seed and watch it grow... (Part 2: grafting in a new branch called mDash)

BigG,

mDash looks pretty cool. I really like the OTA as well as the RPC features that this software provides. This is something that I am going to have to keep in mind for future projects.

I worked on a large ZigBee project for an automated lighting systems, where we would have 100's of nodes active in the building. The OTA function was extremely slow as ZigBee traffic has a lot of overhead as it 'echoes' messages throughout the mesh. I rewrote a layer of our OTA process, where we could send incremental update files (diffs) so we could stitch together the new FLASH image, based on the existing files and the 'OTA' changes. This allowed us to be able to update the mesh with new firmware in a couple minutes, versus the several hours that it use to take.

Thanks for the great info!

Gene
