Handheld communicator

Nov 08, 2009 05:20





Working on a handheld communication device of sorts. The hardware is all functional (i'm happy) and the software is coming along. I was thinking.. how cool would a distributed commo network be? A bit like a peer-to-peer system. So i put this prototype together and have enough parts on-hand to build a second device after the software is finished. It currently talks to an Xbee connected to my dev box. I'm going to call it the "Zed-day coordinator". No infrastructure required. The range is limited to the power of your Xbee but daisy chaining everyone together with some magic routing should make it useful.

Still haven't figured out the keyboard situation yet, but i'm thinking a 2nd touch screen with a translucent keyboard layout under it. Something that can fold out of the way. Has anyone come across an easy to use mini-keyboard?
