SuperCaptor

The name is stupid, don't tell me about it.

The aim is to have a board that is loaded with sensors, components being populated as needed for each application. cost is not really a problem here, comfort of use and versatility is most important

Hardware

inspired from Web Platform with DSPIC33FJ128MC804 (has CAN support, 10 pieces have been bought by ND and DL for toying)

We need

• USB
• Ethernet
• temperature in/out
• humidity in/out
• light sensor
• 3-axis magnotometer
• 3-axis accelerometer
• gyro
• clap sensor ([1] without 555 and remaining circuitry)

of course, there is PWM, ADC and the like on the PIC and these should be made available easily.

GPIO could be used to drive GPIO relay board. maybe one or two addon board should be used, but no more (to have a setup like WebPlatform + CaptorBoard. I'd like to avoid tons of different PCBs that must be piled up.

Software

• XMPP client for use with XMPPHWFS
• eventually, telnet server
• USB / ethernet configuration (IP address, device name, IO names and units..)
