Latest update on this project.
The Galileo board is coded and running.
The sensors connected are TMP006 an on chip and IR temperature sensor and a ForceSensitiveResistor.
The onboard NIC connects to the internet, and we added an N135 minipcie card, it too connects to the internet as well.
We are utilizing an RGB LED for indication of temperatures (ambient = onboard compared to object = IR temp) Red for hot and Blue for cold. We have also created a simple "gauge" of force...4 LEDs as an indicator.
The Sketch is autoloaded via an SD card, and this is where the temp and force data is recorded.
We are using ftpd from galileo, and a server as ftp client to pull the data from SD card to add to a database on the server.
From there the DB is query-able for report creation/generation.
