My 5 passenger car will be leaving around 6pm in an effort to meet Ithaca, NY before midnight. Entertainment for the driver, gas, and a lack of farting are expected of passengers. 0. Louis 1. RJ 2. 3. 4.

Hi Andy, This sounds very interesting to me. I'm currently developing a general purpose long-range, weather-proofed, sensing and automation board. The communication options will include Zigbee (local wireless protocol, longer range, lower bandwith than WiFi) and 3G. The idea is to have real-time monitoring as well as user-determined logic (if sensor A reads above threshold X, do action 1) and schedules. I would love to hear about this application and any others you may think up. Initially, I was actually thinking more along the lines of your post below which talks about the motorized flaps. --Louis

Thanks for bringing this up. The component [you mention](https://www.adafruit.com/products/735) is the same that I used and it will do the trick! I edited the tool page to include this.

Thanks for the feedback, Josh! I've fixed up the tool page to try to make things more clear. Here is the section that I think is relevant to your question: Download the libraries above and unzip them. There should be three individual folders, each containing at least two files, one with a .h suffix and one with a .cpp suffix. Open your Arduino sketchbook folder. If there is already a folder there called libraries, place the library folder in there. If not, create a folder called libraries in the sketchbook folder, and drop the library folder in there. Then re-start the Arduino programming environment, and you should see your new library in the Sketch > Import Library menu. Once your libraries are properly installed, you should have access to all the relevant code from your Arduino IDE. Please let me know if that *doesn't* clear things up - I'd like to do everything I can to make it easier for folks to build these things!

Good find! To save on anchor costs, I reckon at most three need GPS.
