Autonomous Temperature Sensor for Smart Agriculture: Smart Measurement and Control

Fruit-frost during spring is one of the main causes of damage to the harvest of fruit in orchards. Various systems using different methods of preventing spring-frost are available on the market. To determine when these systems should be activated, the temperature in the orchard needs to be determined. In this project, a self-sustaining...

Design of an Electronic Speed Controller: Sub-group: Communication and Sensing

This thesis is part of a project where a 120A, 50V (12S Lithium-Polymer battery) electronic speed controller (ESC) with Bidirectional DShot600 support is prototyped. This thesis focuses on the communication and sensing aspects<br/>of the ESC. It discusses the implementation of the DShot communication protocol on an STM32G431KBT6 microcontroller....

ADome: Implementing CAN in a multi­sensor measurement setup

This thesis focuses on improving the readout of the ADome by implementing MCUs at each antenna probe, enabling local sampling and memory storage. The serial communication protocols CAN, SPI and I2C are considered and compared with one another. Ultimately, CAN is decided due to its robustness and simplicity which make the system cheap and ensures...

Firmware Updates Over The Air for LoRa using Random Linear Network Coding

LoRaWAN is a public Wireless Sensor network with excellent properties like being long-range, low-energy radios and resulting in long battery life. Devices are connected to this network through gateways, and they will run in that deployment for years without replacement. Therefore, bugs and security issues in such devices' firmware are present...
