| Summary: | The objective of this project is to build a network of devices (also known as “Things”
in this context) which utilise the mesh networking topology to simulate a typical IoT
local network. The XBee S2C wireless transceiver will be tested for the suitability of
battery powered IoT devices. Current consumption characteristics of the system will
also be measured and analysed using a microcontroller development board with built
in current measuring capabilities along with different transmit power settings.
Firstly, background knowledge of the choice of microcontroller and the wireless
transceiver used in this project will be given. Next, the construction of and explanation
of the software in the system and procedures of the current measurements are
presented. Finally, the conclusion, discussion of the project and recommendations for
future work are stated.
From the experiment results, it is concluded that the XBee S2C wireless transceiver is
not suitable for coin battery powered applications due to its high peak current draw. |
