o sends collected data from Palm to a server on the Internet via TCP/IP
connection. The server processes the data and plots a graph that is posted
on the web page.
In order to complete our goal, we needed to complete the following tasks:
• select a temperature sensor and connect it to the board;
• add IR transmitter to the board;
• design the controlling hardware implemented in the on-board FPGA;
• program the Palm for:
o support for IR communication between the board and the Palm;
o support for the Internet connection from Palm through the modem;
• develop a server application for receiving and plotting data;
• design a web page to display the uploaded data.
