Title:  Design of Development Kit for Wireless Sensor Module

Supervisor(s): Prof. U. B. Desai

Abstract:

            Sensor Networks is one of the most compelling challenges of next few decades. The requirement of current market is to get a low cost Sensor network, which is quite possible if we consider the research and development in the field of Wireless networks and electronics. The application of sensor networks is very wide (e.g. Military, Oceans, Home, Office, etc.). The flexibility, fault tolerance, high sensing fidelity, low cost, and rapid deployment characteristics of sensor networks create new and exciting application areas for remote sensing.

     In this report we discuss the hardware requirements of sensor network and the different boards we created in order to build a better sensor networking environment. The global location of a sensor is not important in all application of sensor network. These applications can work well with a relative position also. But some applications require GPS, some require GSM and most importantly sensor network require high processing power along with low energy consumption. This report describes various hardware boards developed during the course of project.  The hardware was designed keeping in mind the applications which require GPS location, GSM capabilities and few ADC channels to sense data. The project also involved developing related software.
