  1. A.M.E.N. Autonomous Meteorological Embedded Network for Fire Fighting Fan Zhang, Dmitry Stomakhin, Flavio Sira, Brian Hansen

  2. Conceptual Summary • Deployable device to collect data pertinent to fighting wild fires. • Wind Speed / Direction • Temperature • Humidity • GPS Location • Wirelessly relay that data to fire fighting personnel.

  3. Minimum Functionality • Collect data from sensors in microprocessor on Sensor Node • Transmit and receive sensor data between Sensor Node and Laptop Node • Display received sensor data on an XP laptop via a C program

  4. Maximum Functionality • Push data into a database over the internet whenever an internet connection is detected on the laptop • Google Maps interface for data pushed to database • Multiple Sensor Nodes deployed in a mesh network for increased coverage range

  5. Progress Summary • Sensor and Base node end to end functionality achieved on development boards • Sensor and Base Node schematics completed • Initial board layout and milling completed

  6. Status Report: Flavio • Completed: • Drafted several documents • Created electric circuit for field node • Learned OrCAD schematic • Concentration on learning proper layout • Need to do: • Final Board Layout and placement • Component placement on circuit board • Create poster for out project • Create and assemble the field enclosure

  7. Status Report: Dmitry • Completed: • All sensors can communicate with microcontroller. • Microcontroller can send and receive to/from laptop node. • All timeouts, except compass, have been configured. • Output format between microcontroller and laptop has been synchronized. • Need to do: • Compass (I2C) ISR. • Clock sync between microcontroller and laptop node. • Get state of microcontroller. • Set reading intervals.

  8. Status Report: Fan • Completed: • Able to send/receive data from serial port • Able to receive data that is transmitted by microcontroller through transceiver. • Able to converting raw data to readable format • Able to output data onto a simple GUI • Need to do: • Output data onto a more user-friendly GUI • Save data onto a file • Show a graph of sensor data • Generate HTML code for sensor data table that can be uploaded if internet is detected.

  9. Status Report: Brian • Completed: • Proof of concept code for some of the sensors • Base Node Schematic • Draft milling of Sensor Node • Team coordination / support • Need to do: • Final Gerber to Milling machine conversion • Component placement on circuit board • Team coordination / support • Assembly into enclosure

  10. Demonstration

  11. Plan of Action • Concentrate resources on board layout • Continually work on User Interface design • Design and creation of enclosure • Field testing of node

  12. Challenges • Board layout • Software corner cases • Broken components • Time
