We are developing a new version of LATHI which would be optimized for power and functionality. The first prototype has now been complete and being tested.
This time it will have the Li-Ion rechargeable batteries. And a better speaker. We have already tested the GSM and GPS related functionality. We have changed our main microcontroller from PIC32MX360F512L to an MSP430 to gain power advantage while losing on processing power. The Accelerometer here is the same MMA8453Q we discussed some time ago. Even the same breakout module is being presently used. We have estimated that the battery life can be expected to be easily 3 Months !!. We would keep posting updates as we progress. The aim now is to make this into a complete manufacturer-able product.
I guess this will be atleast one of the first 30 winning entries of the TImcuCONTEST who will get $500.
