I have had little time to work on the GaugeCam project due to other responsibilities. We got a helping hand with this product when we found that there are now cameras available that do precisely the part of the product we did not want to do and at which we were not that good. The camera in this post is an example of that. Before, we had to put together a cellphone enabled remote camera with mounting systems, batteries, a solar setup, etc. Now, you can just buy it and install it yourself. So now I think we will be able to concentrate on the software and the water level data that is accumulated from the product which is really our strong point anyway.
Now I will be able to concentrate on my EKG project a little more before I go back to GaugeCam. Also, I will be able to use the BeagleBone Black I purchased on the EKG if I want. I am hoping to communicate between the Arduino/EKG electronics and the mothership computer via Bluetooth, but I am not sure I can get it to go fast enough. The Bluetooth will handle it, but I do not know if the Arduino can shovel the bits fast enough for the EKG sample rate I need (1K Hz). We shall see!
