I've got quite a bit of work done on the prototype RNLWS, or "paintball telemetry system" as I've been calling it more officially.
I've already designed, tested, and built an interface circuit to an oem GPS module, and hooked it up to the computer to test it, and it works. Now I just need to build several more.
I've written code to display dots on the screen based on the coordinates that the system receives from other units.
I've got code done to actually read the data from the GPS receiver, but the code to actually parse it (not written by me) is kindof busted at the moment.
So, about 25% of the code is written, and I have about a week to get the rest done to be able to have enough time to test it all
Woohoo!
Bring on the caffiene!

That and there's beer! And it is done now!
The code to parse the gps receiver's data has been written and tested, and it works on live data, so that's done.
And I finished code to store the local coordinates.
Tonight, I'm writing functionality to store the coordinates of everyone else once they are received by the radio

Well, the prototype is done, and works. reports positions, you can send messages, etc. Still some things on it far from perfect, but, it works

Well, ben and trevor both got to see live demos of the prototype system in action, walking around my house, sending messages back and forth, giving orders, and watching dots move on a screen.
So, the prototype is done. Well, was done, in early may of last year. I kind of dropped off the face of the earth after graduation.
So there! Everyone that thought I couldn't put that thing together was wrong, bitches!

you kind of still haven't done it...I mean, the prototype was built, but there was never a feasible battlefield version.

And I'll start putting those together as soon as I get about $300 from each person that wants one. The hardware is still going to be fairly pricey.
