    Calculating the distance between 2 points

    What there's no simple way to bend the space-time fabric? :)

    Calculating the distance between 2 points

    "And NOBODY wants to spend the money to buy the DGPS or RTK hardware, even though it's still cheaper than building your own system. " Using satellite really don't fit into this application though. I'll probably just see what I can do with wi-fi tags for an early version, too big for all...

    Calculating the distance between 2 points

    yea I'm starting to notice this. I think the best solution I've found thus far have been WiFi tags. You know you're not going to find much when searches for what you want online return a bunch of patents and not a bunch of products.

    Calculating the distance between 2 points

    I'm 5 years out of college, and work as software developer... So, no, not a school project.

    Calculating the distance between 2 points

    "At least for the aspect of the project that you've described, it's the software that is very nearly trivial and the hardware architecture and device selection that will probably be THE primary design issue." The project is 90% software in processing the desired simple distance data, however, I...

    Calculating the distance between 2 points

    I've stumbled across WiFi tags, they look to be a pretty good step towards what I'm looking forward, unfortunately looks like they're still kind of big. Anyone had any experience with them?

    Calculating the distance between 2 points

    It does not need to be displayed in real-time If the movements happen and then 10 minutes late I have the data that is fine. I just meant it wasn't a stop and wait type thing, the receiver will be constantly moving so the data must be constantly collected while it's happening. Isn't GPS...

    Calculating the distance between 2 points

    I'm much more of a software person, and in general this project is very much software heavy, but built on a hardware idea I'm not very educated on. I'm looking for the types of available technology out there that can fit this problem. A system in which a sensor can measure and store the...
