android - Beacon general information -


first of beacons seems great , usable, enthusiastic still saw first time. now, try them , make android app, i'm confused things didn't found on internet:

  1. are beacons available already?
  2. how beacon cost?
  3. does need charged ?
  4. how time can beacon work without charging?
  5. do need setup every device interaction it?
  6. can implement beacon in unity app ?
  7. is there tutorials using it?

i know, post little big, glad if found here answers. have nice day! ;)

are beacons available already? yes, check out internet.. radius networks, kontakt.io, estimote etc., hit alibaba, or buy raspberry pi , bluetooth dongle

how beacon cost? cheap. small beacons little $1 each, these have drawbacks non-replaceable batteries , short range, bluetooth 5 beacon more expensive, these can cover 1km radius (personally think that's pointless). typically expect around $30 "good" or top-tier beacon company's primary beacon choice. if buy bulk cheaper, might want experiment few different kinds before that. our company bought 300 @ 1 stage , might need replace them different manufacturer now

does need charged ? have replaceable batteries, available plugged in, disposable - need track yourself

how time can beacon work without charging? can't - may thinking of nfc here - bluetooth radio/antenna requires more power might think (but less both of think honest), needs dedicated power source both transmit , receive data

do need setup every device interaction it? no, make app listens it. well.. there lot of options, however, not straightforward detection/processing. eddystone promotes notion of "the physical web", using urls sent eddystone beacons show right content, or iphones have more built in support (mainly) retail use cases. android great because can in background, , foreground services give lot more how , when stopped. should aware 4/5/6/7 have different caveats around scanning/receiving, of differences will/should absorbed sdk might use

can implement beacon in unity app ? certainly, find use case (ar/vr , drone beacon dragon? :o)

is there tutorials using it? many, google about, recommend starting radius network's android beacon library.(this uses altbeacon, changed work ibeacon , eddystone, it's free , these guys know stuff). also, there many beacon apps should download consistency not guaranteed across devices, , few apps have few different features might want debugging. try locate beacon (by radius) nrf toolbox , other ble app decent score - can cross reference hits when funny stuff starts happening.

a lot of people talk beacons , managing them if it's more complex is, have object screams id every x milliseconds, hear that, it, once, every x seconds, or whatever want

i should familiar difference between ble/ bluetooth smart , regular bluetooth interacts via gatt server. beacons you're listening peripheral device advertises in set format. developer, take , make meaningful user

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj

performance - Why is XCHG reg, reg a 3 micro-op instruction on modern Intel architectures? -

i'm doing micro-optimization on performance critical part of code , came across sequence of instructions (in at&t syntax): add %rax, %rbx mov %rdx, %rax mov %rbx, %rdx i thought had use case xchg allow me shave instruction , write: add %rbx, %rax xchg %rax, %rdx however, dimay found agner fog's instruction tables , xchg 3 micro-op instruction 2 cycle latency on sandy bridge, ivy bridge, broadwell, haswell , skylake. 3 whole micro-ops , 2 cycles of latency! 3 micro-ops throws off 4-1-1-1 cadence , 2 cycle latency makes worse original in best case since last 2 instructions in original might execute in parallel. now... cpu might breaking instruction micro-ops equivalent to: mov %rax, %tmp mov %rdx, %rax mov %tmp, %rdx where tmp anonymous internal register , suppose last 2 micro-ops run in parallel latency 2 cycles. given register renaming occurs on these micro-architectures, though, doesn't make sense me done way. why wouldn't register renamer

jquery - Responsive Navbar with Sub Navbar -

good day, forgive me nav vocabulary not best. if question confusing apologize. i'm working on navigation bar needs centered on page @ 768px , above. items in nav open (or perhaps toggle) subnav lives directly below. these nav should appear centered on page. i have been able work through responsive portion of nav bar, having main items align vertically , sub nav menu of each item roll out below, , gave them indent separation. working well. however, issue not responsive side, behavior @ width greater 768px. happens toggling menu's sub navigation pushes other main items down page below sub nav. here's code: $(document).ready(function () { //stick in fixed 100% height behind navbar don't wrap $('#slide-nav.navbar-inverse').after($('<div class="inverse" id="navbar-height-col"></div>')); $('#slide-nav.navbar-default').after($('<div id="navbar-height-col"></d
