Help wanted for top secret project

Posted by Jordi Muñoz on January 2, 2011 at 5:00pm

Happy new year folks!

DIYdrones hardware development team needs some help, if you think you can contribute in something please PM, our requirements are:

-Any microcontroller capable to handle a little web server can be used.

-The hardware must have WiFi access (behave as an access point).

-The hardware must have SD card slot (where you can store html files).

-Must be cheap (< $100).

The system must be capable to read a HTML file stored on the SD card (including pictures) and create a web server accessible via WiFi (acting as an access point). When the user is connected to the Wifi device-must type any direction like "http://192.168.1.100" and be able to load the HTML files stored on the SD. Something similar to a home router.

The HTML files must be able to read/write to the IO, analog and UART pins of the same microcontroller....

What we need from you are suggestions of the right hardware, software contributions and connections to anybody capable to help us.

Anyone? ;-)

Hi all,

what is the status of this project?

Did someone use the telemetry to a $11 server composed of the present drone telemetry + Arduino Pro Mini + W5100 Mini Ethernet Module. It would ensure TCP or UDP or websockets to a PC/Tablet where a small node.js app with the webpage together could be stored to convert and process all the data.

I think it is not necessary to store all the webpage on the Drone, but access it from elsewhere.

What do you think?

Hi there,

you might like this (although it is slightly above 100$):

for you it's prob ok to ignore the post ;-)

i am still looking for the perfect display :)

once i have it i build something around it.

no atmel - cortex 0/3 from nxp would be fine.

enough memory for mavlink.

:) an amazing complexity.

a lot depends on the technology used. we do a similar project in the office.

it is a bachelor thesis.

@bGatti Many (most) systems don't give you an easy way to get a web browser to make a connection over BT.

Also, the BT protocol stack is horrific. Avoid BT at all costs if you value your sanity. 8)

@MrKriss another good-looking option; the module has a better hardware loadout than the Roving modules too.

Thanks for the link!

how about this low power WIFI module ? http://www.gainspan.com/store/s_modules.php

sorry. 108 euro's if you order 100 + 19%VAT so perhaps that design could be done in budget if the boards were assembled in house at big quantity.
