Angular Positioning Device with Wireless Accessibility

Abstract

This Angular Positioning Device (APD) evaluates the angular position related to a three-axis orthogonal system, displays the resulted values and also creates a WiFi access point to send these values to other Portable Access Devices (PADs). APD consists of a triple-axis magnetometer sensor, a NodeMCU V3 development board, OLED display and two rechargeable batteries. The transmission baud rate of the designed device experimentally tested assures enough speed for five simultaneous WiFi connections, and also the properly on-site operation is allowed. By using this device the team leader can perform a remote supervisory process on the on-site operators in order to correctly achieve the required angular positions.
