Reasoning: • Advanced detection functions require power • Zero false positives • No unauthorized access • Cannot be powered externally • Safe must stay secure until maintenance Power Conditioning
Requirements of power source • Necessary 1 year lifespan with a goal of 2 • Cannot be tampered • Power detection sensors • Safely power the Arduino controller • Dependable Power Conditioning
Method • Modes of operation • Wake up sensors • Self powered vibration sensors • Low power design • Efficient overall design • No leakage Power Conditioning Fig. 1 Piezoelectric vibration sensor [4]
Implementation • Arduino Mega vs Arduino Pro-Mini • Piezoelectric wake-up circuit • Choice of battery • Lithium has highest power density • Sensitive to high temperature • May need a controller Power Condtioning
Conclusion • Test two types of batteries • Arduino backpack • Energizer e2 AA batteries Power Condtioning Fig. 2 Arduino backpack [1]
