I'm looking for the smallest embedded device I can find that can do:
- Infrared sensor
- Wireless connection (can connect to an G router, for example, I'll have to check the distance that might cover, otherwise maybe N will have to be used)
- DHCP
- Low power consumption
- User solar power to save battery life?
At least have a couple out of 5, and I can try to work on the others.
I'll need the infrared sensor (beam break detector) to trigger either a single UDP packet or TCP (handshake) and all.
A tall order? ;-)
How can I get started? Any ideas?
I need perhaps wireless connectivity up to like 100 feet to start, and might also need a strong enough signal to go through a few solid walls... Bluetooth is out...
