Hi all,
First time poster having only recently been made aware of the powers of Arduino.
My background is in motorsport electronics and control systems however I'm very much in the camp of a good understanding of the mechanical engineering principles involved in electronic control and only really know the bare minimum of what's going on inside of the electronic control modules themselves.
I want to get involved with Arduino to try and develop my understanding of the background coding and electronic components that go into the control and data logging systems that I work with on the day to day.
I tend to learn best by "doing" so I thought that I would start with a little project that I want to work on and could apply practically.
Most of the big motorsport electronics systems companies use 100BaseT ethernet as a way of communicating between electronic module and user PC.
I most commonly use a Cat 5 ethernet cable to connect my PC to the communications port on the car but being physically connected to the car has its downsides in the typically busy motorsport pit lanes and I wanted to look at building an ethernet to wifi adapter so that I could connect wirelessly to the car from the pit garage instead.
Could anyone point me in the direction on where to start to look to undertake such a project?
Thanks!
