I have a project that im wokring on and im busy with the hardware design , but needs someone to write the programs for the hardware.
I am willing to pay $100 for the programming total . I will disclose full details if someone is intrested but the project title is
Remotely RF downloadable GPStracker/Logger.
if you are intrested in abit of extra cash please drop me a PM and i will send all details to you.
Thanx
Someone who writes the code, should have the hardware.
Are you sure you can't find the time. There are drivers for the hardware that you use ?
Has this been done before? It sounds like a project many people like. I assume it's battery operated so you might need extra code to make the Arduino and other components to sleep. You probably need also an serial EEPROM for extra storage. You could use 433MHz or 2.4GHz wireless. Is my guess any good ?
P.S.: No, I won't write the code, I have not used GPS yet.
Hardware used
1)new prototype gps serial coms weighs only 10g
2)NRF24l01 2,4ghz data radios
3)SD card shield
4)EEprom chip
5)Solar cells
6)Atmel 328p chip
7)the main idea is to get everthing working on UNO first then a Pro mini then custom board
the tracker will be self powered with solar panels and total size after Custom board is finished will be 15x30mm
Why bother with a pro mini? And an uno prototype would work to debug, then just put it all on the custom board
sounds like an easy project, that's all common stuff
scroll down the arduino forum to where it says gigs and collaborations
You will probably be better off with a lipo, those 2032 cells can only give you 30ma max, which isn't much
the supercap will help for the bursts from the nrf24l01 and gps which is good
also those solar cells are pretty pathetic, it wont charge any battery really, best bet would be to hold the atmega while it sleeps, nm else
your gonna need a decent 3.3v supply, so a 3.7v lipo would worrk altho you should check that everything can handle the 4.2v max of the battery unless you get a ldo regulator
yes after doing the maths again the solar cells @a 3.3v system is useless but after some searching i remembered that all these Chips are powered via regulated supply 3.3v to 1.8v Removing the regulator I can make the custom PCB that makes the whole system work on 1.8v and max power consumption for me circuit is then 46mA active and 6 mA in sleep mode
so 1.8v system running on 2v should make life easier
Isn't the sd card a 3.3v device? Also the nrf24l01 and the atmega328 would have to run less than 8mhz to get 2v supply
Also the quiescent power of the gps and nrf24l01 is alot different when data is being transfered,
I'm Aware of that yes but one thing you have to remember is that the device will be in sleep mode for 23:30 hours a day it will only wake up and take to fixes a day
