Data Harvester

It is quite difficult to collect data from remote sensors on foot. The condition of the terrain may affect someone who may have placed a sensor in hard to reach areas. In this project we will develop a system that will gather specific data (i.e. temperature, moisture or air quality) and send it back to the user. Our board will be placed on a drone so the user doesn’t have to make a trip to every sensor in the network because the drone will make the trip for them. Our board will be able to distinguish each sensor and we will develop unique algorithms to determine how it interacts with each sensor. After completing this project, our system will be deployed at one of Sonoma State’s nature preserves.
