Project Scope

We are attempting to complete this project in one semester. Having a class that allows us to work on open projects gives us time within school to attempt to complete this. Anthony has had a lot of previous programming experience and is willing to learn about the Android java system. Chris is more hardware focused and is interested in circuits and how hardware interacts with each other.

Our project is separated into several parts: Hardware: Beagleboard�+LCD and Expansion Board Software: Database�+Travel Algorithm+Android GUI

What license(s) does your project use?

GPLv2/GPLv3
