ARDUINO

[KF5FEI]

The good news is that I can talk and program the Arduino with my WinXP laptop. Don't know why the win2K doesnt work. So there is progress!

Glad to hear it -- now you can get something done on your automatic litter box emptier and black widder eradicator.

Whoops, didn't catch that you were running Windows 2k. Here's something that might be of use, http://arduino.cc/playground/Main/UnoWin2k.

Arduino APRS Tracker:

I have uploaded my custom version of the Trackuino Project.

Still working on mine. Got the GPS going, got the keyboard working, got the LCD going all four lines. Working on parsing user input for messaging and then to parse messages coming in. I hope to get it to be able to automatically recognize a "conversation".

I'm also hoping DJ700 shares his formatting to give me some ideas. I've already implemented modular coding and I'm working on getting the code more compact. Thursday I'm off to a client for 6 weeks. Taking the arduino, gps, radio, LCD and wires with me. I'm sure going through security will be fun.

I did send a reply PM via forum, but am unshure whether you did receive it. If negative, please try once more and also give me your E-Mail address for direct access. ( see also: http://www.kh-gps.de/radioshield.htm )

Regarding TRACKUINO:
See my simple clone version of it: http://www.kh-gps.de/trackuino.htm

BTW: My pages are in German, but there always are links for easy automatic translation by using GOOGLE Translator

Got it. Email sent.

One thing that I wasn't able to understand fully in the translation. What were you using the EEPROM storage for? It looked like you were doing some conversions of the GPS data but I wasn't quite sure why that would require using the EEPROM.

One feature of my project is showing distances an bearings related to incoming signals. For this you need to know your own position. There
are three ways to find it:
First is, using fix lat/lon values within sourcecode.
Second is, using lat/lon values downloadable by user within processor EEPROM.
Third is using live GPS data from attached receiver ( for mobile use ).
.
The version i sent was preliminary with prepared but not yet used EEPROM data.

I have been thinking about ether getting one of those boards or a ATMega board.

As an aside, you can make your own Arduino-compatible board with an ATMega 32

Just saw that the new Arduino Due with a 32 bit ARM processor core will be released on 22 Oct. The clock is over 80 MHz and it has a board pin out like the MEGA256 Arduino. It will be very interesting for use in more complex applications than the Arduino Uno or Leonardo.
