Im currently working on my senior project in college as an electrical engineer. My team and i are working on a wireless parking indicator which will display the number of vacant parking spots at each floor with the use of lcd screens. Each floor will have two exits and two entrances, and we will be accounting for each car that goes in or out of that floor with the use of sensors and transceivers. There will be a main base station at each floor hooked up to the lcd screen and it will have its own transceiver. i want to know:
-
if its possible to receive multiple, simulateneous signals coming from different transceivers, using one main transceiver at the base.
-
is it better to convert all the analog signal coming from the sensors into digital first before you send them out?
-
do you guys have any other tips or advices pertaining to atmega16 and the transceivers so we dont mess them up?
thank you
