    Hello EG, I have a question about a project I am trying to get rolling. I need to find a main sensor system that will detect how far away other sub-sensors are from the main sensor. If I put it on a roomba and the roomba drove away I want to know the x and y coordinates (provided the sensors are not blocked by other objects).

     

    I was thinking maybe bluetooth could use a signal to detect the distance, but probably not? Some type of constant scanner searching at a quick rate to detect even fast movement of the subject as well. I think the subject would have to have a sub-sensor on it, but what does EG think?

     

    Can anyone lead me the right direction?

    Much appreciated!

    the thing that you are talking about is WSN – Wireless Sensor Network

    you have to design different sensor nodes.

    each sensor node includes 1) sensing element  2) micro conroller 3) wireless transreceiver

    you have to program each sensor node as per your requirements

    than all these sensor nodes will communicate through the network

     

    its bit difficult task. you need to have deep knowledge of sensors, networks, interfacing etc.

    Thank you Bhatt, that leads me in the right direction for sure! I did a simple Google search on Wireless Sensor Networks, and I found many resources for it. Now I just need a guy to help me build this!

     

    Thank you so much,

     Sam
