New Additions for Arduinos

We have two people now working on Arduinos for the ERGO Project:
Jim@seti.net (Del Mar, CA) is working with the u-blox GPS and Arduinos in parallel with what Simon is doing in Miami.  He’s already written a Windows utility to talk to the u…-blox GPS.  You can see his blog here:  http://www.seti.net/SETINet/Engineering/Engineering.htm
James Divine at CERN in Switzerland is organizing a “hack-a-thon” for the summer webfest at CERN to develop an Android-based smartphone ERGO using an Arduino interface.  His approach is to use the internal GPS in the smartphone for position and timing and either the internal camera or an external detector to pick up the cosmic rays.  James’ project wiki is here:  http://www.citizencyberscience.net/wiki/index.php?title=A_cheaper_distributed_cosmic_ray_detector
