SYSTEM¶
Note
The current version is 1.0. Its primary goal is to support scientific research and algorithm validation. There is still a significant gap before real-world field deployment and commercial use. The system will be adjusted and optimized later based on practical requirements and constraints.
Physical Structure¶
We use a three-board design, which are:
- Extension Board: Provides various interfaces and expansion functions, supporting the connection of multiple sensors and actuators.
- Main Control Board: Equipped with the ESP32S3 chip, responsible for the core processing and control of the system, while also providing common basic functions such as storage and basic status feedback.
- Power Board: Responsible for providing stable power supply to the entire system, supporting both battery and wired power supply, and equipped with power management functions to optimize energy consumption and extend battery life. (This board directly purchases the power management board from Waveshare Electronics, and may be custom-designed later based on actual needs.)
System Architecture¶
The system architecture is divided into the following parts:
Main Control System¶
- Microcontroller chip or module - based on ESP32S3
Sensing System¶
- Temperature
- Acceleration
- Sound (optional)
- Image (optional)
Communication System¶
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth - low power
- 2.4G wireless communication
- Cellular network - low power (Cat-M1/NB-IoT) (optional)
Actuation System¶
- LED/RGB LED
- Buzzer (optional)
- Display (optional)
Power System¶
- Battery/wired power supply
- Power management
Enclosure System¶
