There is currently some discussion if it should be a Jacket or an external box. http://freeyourphone.de/portal_v1/download/file.php?id=51
Electronics
- a PIC with USB and 8 x ADC (which one, link??)
- power comes through USB
- USB A/f so that the standard client cable can be connected
Software
- Device is addressed as a simple serial interface over USB
- allows to switch on/off each sensor (so that power drainage can be controlled)
- sends every 0.1 seconds a data block with latest data values
- User-Interface runs on the Freerunner
