Springboard Software Development
Generic Applications: Applications that execute from Handspring’s internal memory – i.e. utilities
Generic Applications on a Springboard Module: Applications that execute from Springboard module without downloading and installing of software – i.e. game cartridges
Special Purpose Applications: Applications that execute from the module itself and supports the additional hardware on the module itself – i.e. GSM card

Conclusion
We are developing a Special Purpose ApplicationWe need the hardware specs so that we can use it
with the Excimer board– Excimer board would be the prototype of the module– The diode would have to interface with the board
We need to develop the software to support the data that we gather– The software would need to plot the data– The software would also need to support the hardware

Plan
Peggy and I will take care of the software part– Write C code with Code Warrior that would plot the
data– Save the raw data in Palm database format– Work with Jay and Dennis on the interface between
the PDA and the board Jerome and Renuka will take care of the laser
diode and other related hardware Jay and Dennis will take care of the Excimer
board

Misc
We would need a blank module to help us with the PDA/Excimer board interface
We may need some re-programmable modules so we may start on the software portion
