Ridgeline Meteorological Sensor Network Stephen Copeland, Xau Moua, Joseph Lane Advisors: Dr. Manimaran Govindarasu, Venkataramana Ajjarapu
Project Description • John Deere Renewables • Read and transmit meteorological data • Transmit Wirelessly • Long distances and high elevations
Conceptual Sketch Scout Tower Mesh Network Solution
Functional Requirements • The range of the transceiver must be 1-2km • Network shall use mesh network protocol • Data shall be sent home once a day • Data logged on tower’s own memory • All components housed in a NEMA4 enclosure
Non-Functional Requirements • Network shall be self healing • Wireless signal shall penetrate rough terrain • Wireless signal shall withstand various precipitation • Transceiver shall be plug and play
Assumptions • Interface with data logger • Scout tower built-in data storage • Data logger design • Using our own microcontroller
Constraints • Terrain can attenuate wireless signal • Topology could create bottlenecks in network • Climate could stress the operability of components • Limited access to information
Transceiver Solution XBee Pro 900 XSC RPSMA
