Hey guys,
I am essentially in the deep end with this project and know nothing about what I am doing. My background is in programming primarily however I did do a couple of electronics modules at university and I have in the past played around with Arduino etc.
I am looking to start up a project where I require 3 core things: access to wifi, gps tracker and probably about 32mb of stored memory, but more than that would be great. This will also need a self contained battery. The key thing for this project is that it is small. As small as possible. I have looked at Tinyduino and that is looking like a possibility. Ideally I want this to be as cheap as possible, obviously, and Tinyduino is looking good and the right kind of size but at $60 each for GPS and WiFi and $20 for the processing unit that's already $140 which seems pretty steep.
How small realistically can I get these requirements? What's the most cost efficient way of doing so?
Thanks.
