  1. Ridgeline Meteorological Sensor Network Stephen Copeland, Xau Moua, Joseph Lane Advisors: Dr. Manimaran Govindarasu, Venkataramana Ajjarapu

  2. Project Description • John Deere Renewables • Read and transmit meteorological data • Transmit Wirelessly • Long distances and high elevations

  3. System Block Diagram

  4. Conceptual Sketch Scout Tower Mesh Network Solution

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. Assumptions • Interface with data logger • Scout tower built-in data storage • Data logger design • Using our own microcontroller

  8. Constraints • Terrain can attenuate wireless signal • Topology could create bottlenecks in network • Climate could stress the operability of components • Limited access to information

  9. Transceiver Solution XBee Pro 900 XSC RPSMA

  10. Project Schedule Research Design and implementation Testing Report/Presentation Breaks

  11. Cost Estimate

  12. Thank You Any Questions?
