Overview

After seeing lvl1's M.O.T.H.E.R a few of us at ML256 would like to do something similar. The RQ stands for Red Queen

Please feel free to add to this page as you see fit, this would be a neat project to have many people pitch in on.


Design Layout

RQ will consist of a single node which will handle a multitude of external modules.
The goals is to design an easy to interface unit which will allow accessory modules to be associated with ease.

Module ideas

Key:

-> one way from the module to RQ (excluding low level things such as confirmation messages)

Resources

  • Could be we could get cheap mesh networking boards from local company Synapse Wireless for modules. Never hurts to ask :)
