As mentioned, the reason I'm using a Gumstix computer is because I am currently undertaking a project with three others; Dónal, John and Semir, with the aid of a teaching assistant, Graham.
Our project proposes to use a small, lightweight blimp to carry a Gumstix computer equipped with a Wifi repeater and GPS system. The Wifi repeater will enable the provision of wireless connectivity to areas in which setting up a fixed wireless network would not be feasible, while the GPS system, coupled with attached motors, will enable us to control the blimp's movements and set destinations for the blimp to travel to.
We must demonstrate a fully functioning system before the college will supply us with a blimp, so it is imperative that we set up the system as soon as possible, and create a simulation to show that the motors, GPS and Wifi repeater function as expected. A document containing the details of the simuation system is currently in progress.
