Seeking a competent C/C++ programmer to write a demo/pilot proof of concept program that interfaces with a wireless beacon. The task is fairly specialist but does not require large amount of coding. See ATTACHED requirements.
WE WANT THIS FAST AND TO OUR BUDGET.
For the right programmer we expect 2-3 days of research and trial. 2 days of programming. Happy to discuss.
REQUIREMENTS
============
A windows pc with a bluetooth device will host this system to be programmed. The system will interface via bluetooth with three
bluetooth beacons (actually 3 bluetooth devices) located closeby. It will obtain RSSI data from the beacons
of any registered mobile bluetooth devices (ie bluetooth enabled mobile phone).
See attached pdf for design plan of implementation.
Technical requirements are:
==========================
1. The program will run on a windows platform and:
OPTION 1: Use Widcom Bluetooth stack C or C++ to retrieve RSSI.
OR
OPTION 2: Use Java BlueCove stack to retrieve RSSI.
2. You will analyze and modify the Widcom stack (NOT BOTH) to
allow it to retrieve the RSSI info from the beacons.
3. The program will perform a calculation based on RSSI data to determine location of bluetooth devices. IMPORTANT: a mathetical positioning formula will be provided. The programmer will simply
use the RSSI data collected to perform the calculation using JAVA/C/C++
4. Once started the program will interface and retrieve RSSI data every 60seconds. It will keep history of results.
5. The program will display the latest results in window in a simple
column format. Mobile device and Positioning cordinates. history of positions can be viwed by clicking a link to expand historical results (max 60).
6. The coding will commented in detail. There will be little code because of the limited functionality so this wont be timeconsuming.
Lab
================
We are making available host pc (windows xp) with bluetooth. This is available remotely via VNC for testing and development. Three bluetooth beacons are visible to the pc, and bluetooth enabled mobile phone is also available. You will install any software you require.
Budget
======
We are budgetting for 6 days worth of programming to achieve this task. Please bid accordingly and confirm this timescale is achieveable for you.
IMPORTANT: Also confirm if you have any experience of bluetooth programming or similar projects. Or tell us what skills you have that will allow you to achieve this.
Time Frame
==========
We are looking for a fast turnaround 5 days! Yes I know its tight but it is achieveable. We expect 1-2 days of research and trial. 2 days of programming. Happy to discuss.
