Is it possible to run 3 tasks in one arduino board?

Development Boards Arduino

Hello.

I have a question.

I want to put 3 things in one arduino board.

  1. gps log (with sirf 3 module)

  2. fm transmitting (with xbee transmitters)

  3. arduino based thermo cam (http://www.cheap-thermocam.tk/)

Basically, take the thermal image, and get gps location data, and send it to user using xbee transmitters.

can i do that using only one uno board? or do i need mega board? or…it is impossible?

thank you for your time.

Depends on what/how many pins the gps/xbee/thermocam use.

Nothing is impossible.

GPS looks like 2 digital I/O.

Xbee is probably going to need a breakout board…or not.

Thermo cam looks like 2 or 4( with the servos.)

That is great to hear that!.

Would you please give me more details about breakout board for xbee,

and how to integrate all of those things into one uno board and work things get together?!

I am not too familiar with the xbee stuff.

Here is the introduction and buying guide: http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/257

I think the minimum would be:

XBee Explorer Dongle

XBee Shield

2x XBee 1mW Chip Antenna - Series 1

You may not need the XBee Shield if you build your own breakout board.
