FLEX Embedded World 2007 demo

This is the demo which was presented at Embedded World 2007.

The demo acquires angle and distance from a compass and a ultrasound receiver, sending them to a remote system using an XBee module connected through UART.

On the PC side, then, a GTK graphical application (not available for download) displays the data in a polar plot.

Board schematics, PCB and software available as a template under ERIKA Enterprise.
