Wireless data acquisition for industrial, scientific and medical purposes

Abstract

The inspiration for wireless comes from wires being unmanaged, bulky, and entangled. With the numerous numbers of wires; devices are not portable, complex, and less reliable and covers shorter distance. Our aim is to design a system which is able to setup a wireless network which is more reliable in terms of data integrity and system failures. The system should be able to communicate within the range of 50–150 meters and it should be able to meet requirements of working under the strict rigid industries, medical and scientific environments. Further it should be able to meet the needs of consumer electronics. We have used Nordic semiconductor sensor module (nRF24l01+) and ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller based development board and we have used UART and SPI serial protocols for communication between the two modules.
