Ultra low power sensor board for wild animal tracking
This device architecture node for Wireless Sensor Network combines an ultra low power sleep mode and a long range communication capability. The board components have been divided in four powering sections: the GPS, the RF booster, the sensors and the flash memory. The controller can selectively control the activation of each section according to the application requirements and to energy accumulated in the supercapacitor.
The device software is specifically designed for the CC1310 microcontroller embedding an innovative architecture. The CC1310 device combines a flexible low power RF transceiver with a powerful Cortex M3 microcontroller. Moreover a dedicated radio controller handles low-level RF protocol commands, ensuring ultra-low power and flexibility. Finally, the CC1310 device has excellent sensitivity and robustness performance.
A key component of the architecture is the Sensor Controller: it is a small CPU core highly optimized for low power consumption performing simple background tasks autonomously. A design based on the sensor controller can achieve a huge power saving even for a periodic simple ADC reading task.
A GPS tracker, temperature, humidity and UVB radiation sensors, and accelerometers have also equipped the sensor board.
