In my life time, I have seen many little linux-microcomputers that will allow you to do more hacking with less space.
Sorta like the ultra-tiny SheevaPlug, this BUG is an open-source linux-based microcomputer that already comes with accelerometer, camera, and even a GPS module so you can build the next generation gadget-device with it.
I happen to like it a lot, maybe I will get one soon to start hacking it.
BUG is a baby monitor. B
Here’s the smallest GPS chip ever! Great news for us hackers and DIYers!
PhysOrg.com says “thanks to clever use of space-saving technology the S4E19863 series is the world’s smallest GPS module (7 mm x 6 mm x 1.28 mm), making it ideal for applications with limited component space, such as mobile phones. ”
Epson’s new GPS is already being massed produced and is already integrated into NTT DoCoMo’s FI’ve checked out some GPS modules before but this one from sparkfun seems to be the one to use,
it’s small, easy-to-use, well, i am going to find out soon by ordering one…
It’s got a serial interface and its own RTOS and you can customize the ARM7TDMI if you want to and you are that advanced…
and try to see if i can make a gps enabled car graphic screen in 1 minute!
hehe… 🙂
Make has a nice article on it here:
