Development of Arduino-based Data Acquisition System for Environmental Monitoring using Zigbee Communication Protocol
Abstract
Data Acquisition Systems (DAS) are used for a variety of applications such as environmental monitoring, indoor climate control, health management and medical diagnostics, traffic surveillance and emergency response, disaster management among others. This paper presents the design of a DAS for monitoring environmental temperature, pressure and relative humidity. The system employs Arduino Uno microcontroller for signal processing and Zigbee transceivers operating on the 2.4 GHz license-free Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band as communication modules at both the transmitter and receiver ends. While the transmitter board houses the sensors, a GPS module and an LCD, the receiver system is interfaced with a PC which runs a developed MATLAB GUI for data display and analysis and it incorporates an SD card for data storage. The battery-powered system is a low cost, low-power consumption system which serves as a mini-weather station with real-time data logging, wireless communication and tracking capabilities.
