RFID Wiki
Spent some time going through the Gumstix RFID wiki today to familiarise myself a bit more with the harware Im going to use and how it all fits together. A Gumstix is basically a functioning mini computer loaded with a Linux based operating system. A flash memory card serves as a hard disk. A basic breadboard circuit seems to be used to connect various components, and a serial connection is made between the RFID reader and the gumstix. I understand how each of the components work but am still a little uncertain as to how it all fits together. I'm meeting with Lorcan tomorrow and he is going to explain the hardware to me which should clear everything up.

Looks like you're making good progress - keep it up!
Hi.
Caitie and Hristo, two of the ODCSSS 2007 students had a lot of experience with the Gumstix. Have you been in touch with them? Email me of Lorcan for their contact details. You should ask them for their final reports and research paper. You should also extract as much info on what to avoid with the gumstix?
