Hello All
I need your advice to select products.
Here is my idea…
http://s13.postimg.org/cj4422cjb/xxxxx4.jpg
There is 10 child measurement + 1 parent PC.
10 child send data, each 10 minute to PC.
PC has database to store measurement data.
here is my target.
- Battery must be keep 1 year.
then I need this level for low power effort.

- To save battery, i do not want to use voltage regulator.
Quesiton #1
Ardiuno can get data via RS485 and save
and send it to PC via Xbee network ?
Quesiton #2
PC only read buffer of Xbee.
and store data to database.
Should I worry buffer size of xbee ?
because all child send data at random.
Sometime, all 10 child may send data to PC , Xbee.
Question #3
Ardiuno can control RS485 + Xbee like my idea ?
please advice and give me any comment.
because This is my first work with Ardiuno , PIC.
I am programmer. then, this is first experience to try Ardiuno.
Any comment is welcome !
