[Oddas-develop] What we want from Linux

[Pete B. <pe...@su...>]

Dear folks -

Just what do we want from Linux in ODDAS? I guess I kind of saw it as a central
point to gather all the data and log it. For systems where a network is
available, it could provide updates on status and statistics to other machines.
But what about applications where a wire is not practical, such as robotics or
automotive? We could store up the data and then download it when the machine
gets back to a shop. Or what about wireless? I know IEEE 802.11 is supported
under Linux, but that only has a range of 250 feet. I could see that being very
useful for a mobile robot, but I guess an automobile would need a bit more
range.
