Wireless Sensors Network(WSN)-need some advices..

Post by daria88 »

Hello,

I have to do a WSN, as applied part for BSc dregree .. and I need some advices please:),and I mention that I don’t know very much about this subject (even if I am at a faculty with such profile ..) but I want to "struggle" .. for this degree and until this mom. , I read something on the net, in some books ..so , I have an idea of what I want to do:

Wireless Network (WSN) will be composed of four sensors that detect smoke .. placed in two adjacent rooms, besides the four sensors I need a gateway = node (which in this case I don’t know what it can be(Access Point or Router Wireless or smth else..)) to the four sensors that transmit ... and the gateway node will be wired to the PC .

Now, questions would be more .. but currently I am sticking to what could be the devices for this kind of wireless network? And what type of network will be? ad hoc, LAN .. .. or something else?

Thanks in advance!

The arduino is a microcontoler or microcomputer. That you can very easily program and interface(talk) to.

To get a bachelor's degree in less than two years part-time applied accounting!!!!!

If you want to do accounting college degree I suggest ACCA programmes, including 14 exam.

To a certain extent, you need to complete the first 9 the ACCA examination and complete a project.
