Problem Statement:
The goal of this project is to combine the use of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for capturing images as well as acquiring data. Temperature, humidity and soil moisture content are examples of some of the data to be collected. A network of wireless sensors will be controlled via microcontrollers to enter sleep states and wake up to acquire and save data onto an external Memory Disk Drive (MDD) as a text file.
The microcontroller will have the ability to create new files monthly and separate and format the data daily. When files are transmitted, the drone will have the ability to create directories for each module using a unique ID in order to identify and separate the data between modules.
Issues:
Initially the CC2538 microcontroller had no file system support on hand. The solution to this issue was solved by making use of a FAT32 file system from elm-chan.org. File system did not support physical communication to hardware.
Accomplishments:
- Sensor Control
- Sleep states
- Directory creation
- text file creation with R/W capabilities
- Wireless Transmission
