I am looking for a fast turnaround on this project. I require a schematic, PCB design and production of a single prototype, including firmware for the following functionality. The deice will have three buttons (plus one power button). The devices is programmed via SMS to associate a number with each of the buttons. When a button is pressed, the system immediately sends an SMS message with the last recorded GPS coordinates, attempts to update these coordinates and if a new coordinate is shown, then sends an update SMS. All configuration commands must include the password (6 characters), configurations commands include :-
Set number for button 1
Set number for button 2
Set number for button 3
Set new password
Additional command result in the reply send to the requesting number include:
Sleep GPS X, causes the GPS to be disabled for X number of 15 minute periods (maximum X = 32)
Sleep SMS X, causes the GSM to be disabled for X number of 15 minute periods (maximum X = 32)
Update Now, causes the system to enable to GPS is disabled, reports immediately last know coordinates, upon receipt of a new set of coordinates sends an update SMS.
All configuration commands a responded with an OK is successful or NG if not successful.
Preferable charging is via mini USB. Firmware updates should be achieved via USB.
There is no requirement for voice
support at this time, however consideration should be made for the possible inclusion of this in the near future.
In addition to the finished prototype, I will require the schematic, PCB design in an industry standard format plus source code for the firmware. If developed within a specific IDE, I wil also require the name of the IDE used, the language you used, the source code in that language and in the native machine code (if possible) to be delivered (via e-mail is sufficient).
Preferable payment terms are 30% upfront, 30% upon receipt of the prototype and 40% upon successful testing. Testing will include all commands and battery life. GPS reception will be tested in all weather conditions and within a city environment with high rise buildings.
A further 10% of your stated contract price will be on offer if the prototype is delivered within 20 working days.
