Introduction
Participants in the project were:
The purpose of the project was to mount an 802.11b telemetry system onto a large remote control truck. The system would transit back acceleration, temperature, humidity, and position (from an onboard GPS unit) that would then be plotted and recorded on a laptop computer. This page documents our endeavors over the course of the Spring 2005 semester.
Project Overview
The telemetry system consisted of a number of sensors that were read
by a BASIC Stamp Microcontroller that, in turn, fed its data to a
PDA. The PDA then used its built-in 802.11b network
card to transmit the data back to a laptop computer, where it
was displayed in real time.
The whole telemetry system was mounted on top of a TRAXXAS E-MAXX--a really large remote control vehicle capable of speeds over 30 MPH! Project Timeline Because this project doubled as our EE494 Senior Project, the entire timeline was dictated by the syllabus. This means that some things were a bit drawn out while others were painfully contracted. Another, more convenient way of showing the timeline is as follows:
 Project Deliverables The following documents and data products were created during the course of the project. Each was completed on or before the due date:
