Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of collection of sensor nodes. Each individual node consists of MCU with on-board sensors and Nordic wireless mesh for communication, which are distributed to monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, ambient light, humidity etc. The SJ-One board contains an onboard light intensity sensor, and a custom PCB for the project has a combined Temperature, Pressure, and Humidity sensor and an air quality sensor. These sensor data are transmitted to a network coordinator which is the controls the wireless mesh network. The advantage of a mesh configuration is that the data flow is uninterrupted in the network even if one of the nodes fails. The coordinator board colates the data from all nodes, and displays it on a 16x32 LED matrix.

Design & Implementation

The design section can go over your hardware and software design. Organize this section using sub-sections that go over your design and implementation.

Hardware Design

Discuss your hardware design here. Show detailed schematics, and the interface here.

Sensor PCB

Hardware Interface

In this section, you can describe how your hardware communicates, such as which BUSes used. You can discuss your driver implementation here, such that the Software Design section is isolated to talk about high level workings rather than inner working of your project.

Software Design

Show your software design. For example, if you are designing an MP3 Player, show the tasks that you are using, and what they are doing at a high level. Do not show the details of the code. For example, do not show exact code, but you may show psuedocode and fragments of code. Keep in mind that you are showing DESIGN of your software, not the inner workings of it.

Implementation

This section includes implementation, but again, not the details, just the high level. For example, you can list the steps it takes to communicate over a sensor, or the steps needed to write a page of memory onto SPI Flash. You can include sub-sections for each of your component implementation.

Testing & Technical Challenges

Describe the challenges of your project. What advise would you give yourself or someone else if your project can be started from scratch again? Make a smooth transition to testing section and described what it took to test your project.

Include sub-sections that list out a problem and solution, such as:

<Bug/issue name>

1. In Wireless Tx section, mesh_init() needs a parameter of type mesh_driver which needs some initialization. In Wireless Rx section, ensuring the receipt of packets needs some review.

2. Calibration of Air Quality Sensor and Temperature/Humidity/Pressure sensor is a challenging part.

Conclusion

Conclude your project here. You can recap your testing and problems. You should address the "so what" part here to indicate what you ultimately learnt from this project. How has this project increased your knowledge?
