ATNGW100Beginners guide using Bipedal Robot as Example

As i had promised ,here comes the tutorial about ATNGW100.This is not a general purpose tutorial, but its a view of ATNGW100 from our perspective,how ,what we learned from our own experience.It explains basically what we did.I hope it will cover some of the questions faced by any newbie using ATNGW100.

Before i begin i shall say thanks to Mr Pramod CE (for much of the contents is borrowed from his own tutorial,and for his special support and guidance)and my groupmates and especially Prasanth PP who did much of the programming work.

The Developing Environment of ATNGW100

The developing environment for the Atmel Network Gateway can be setup in Linux operating system.The main source of informaton for programming and customizing ATNGW100 can be obtained from the following locations.

 

Experiments With ATNGW100

We’d bought an atmel 32 bit processor board ATNGW100 for our project.The main idea behind choosing this procesor board is Mr.Pramode C E from Thrissur(www.pramode.net).  The board has general purpose input output pins ,serial port,32 mb SD RAM,8 mb flash and more over a preinstalled version of  Linux  2.6.18 kernel.It looks beautiful and exciting for a newbie with its low cost $ 89 price.Indians still face a problem since if you order it via Fedex (reliable) it would cost around Rs 8000/- at home.Luckily we bought it via our friend Sujith’s cousin ,who came fro mUS ,thus escaping from the transportation fee and it cost around Rs 5000/- The board has gor a good reputation and easy interface and a lot of help from www.avrfreaks.com. Some clever guys at model engineering college Ernakulam is also doing an Internet Radio Receiver Project With this board.I ve got a contact from Kurien Polachen and he is also very helping ,to make the hardware work for us.
