Hi all!, I am working on a solution for wireless remote data acquisition The remote device runs embedded linux mounted on a Compact Flash and is connected to a set of peers by standard wireless ethernet transponder(802.11b,using adhoc mode).I need to stream the data on to a basestation,by multihop routing.(which could be another peer)Since the data is sensor information,I need to transfer this reliably too.
- Do I need to build an database server(like SQL),build a database and stream data through a web server??Will this be a huge footprint??Can I stream data by using this??will this work in an adhoc scenario??Also I can use it to transfer data both ways right?
2.Does anyone have an idea of a modbus interface???I heard it is used for all handheld/embedded data acquisition.
3.If I dont use a database...How do you buffer data in the case of a network outage/limited connectivity....???4.Suppose I timestamp data and write it to a file and then ftp them,is there a better way to do this?
The tools I can play with are Python,C or C++..
Thanks in advance! Badhri
