Hello guys,
I'm in to arduino for like 2 months now.
I have done couple of little projects.. Not big things..
But I've been asked to do a little more bigger project.
The project consist of about 100 fsr pressure sensors.. Fsr sensors will be in bulks of 5..
The main idea is;
We will have 20 tables and each table will have 5 chairs around it.
We want to count all the sittings.. For example in the end of the event, table 1 will have 45 sit counts, table 2 will have 72, etc..
So I planned to do this project like this;
I will set up one arduino for each table.. Every arduino will have 5 fsr sensors and one xbee wireless transmitter connected to it.
And when someone sits on a chair, the arduino will transfer id of the chair and it's own id to the main receiver arduino..
Receiver arduino will write this data to a table..
Like:
Table 1 - Chair 2 - Time: 16:52 09.07.2012
I can to this kind of fsr sensor data transfer with one arduino with usb connection.
But I do not know about wireless connections or any capabilities of it( 20 clients - 1 server? )
I kindly request your help for this wireless system approach, or any ideas you have about a different point of view..
Thank you in advance..
