RE: Sensor Area Networks (SANs)
George,

Part of the fun is my son wants to do some things to control his model railroad, and we have two ponds on the property so R/C boats might be in our future. Maybe we'll configure a water-gun turret! If I can find something simple enough that my 7 year old can do it, then I've succeeded!

John,

It looks like 5m is max for USB 2.0, but there are tricks available to go further (USB to Cat5 extenders); although, the remote end may need a separate power supply. Plus, the idea is that the microcontroller would wirelessly communicate with a laptop on the dash. USB from sensor to controller, wireless from controller to laptop.
