Ultra Low Power and Cost Effective Wireless Instrumentation and Telemetry Support System for Solar Mobility Applications

Abstract

Telemetry is a technology that allows data measurements to be made at a distance either through wired or wireless communication interfaces. Systems that need external instructions and data to operate require the counterpart of telemetry known as telecommand. The main objective of the project was to develop and integrate a low power and cost effective telemetry and telecommand system. The project involves development of an instrumentation unit for collecting various sensor parameters from multiple remote station (e.g. Voltage, Temperature, Humidity etc.) and wireless transfer of the data to a central station. The data thus obtained will be available to the user via a Graphic User Interface running on a Windows based system developed by the team. The GUI will not only enable the user to view the data but also control various sub systems connect to the other end of the device depending upon the parameters obtained.
