TX/RX Labs open source project BACON is nearing the alpha testing stage. They have released an announcement asking for any developers wishing to get involved with Alpha testing to contact them.
Project BACON is MSP430 based solar powered GPRS/GSM sensor platform. It has on-board battery management, GPRS/GSM modem, 3 axis accelerometer, mems mic, GPS, temperature sensor, and a strain gauge built in.
TX/RX’s Open Source Project to develop a low power solar based GPRS/GSM remote sensor platform is reaching alpha testing. We are looking for some people with electronics design/coding experience who would like to participate in determining the features and changes the project needs to go to Beta testing and produce something that will be useful to the community. Alpha Testers will be given loaner hardware to use during the test and will receive beta test hardware as well.
I have bought a property just for testing solar equipment
