2. 2 FDR ECE 415 Agenda  Objective  CDR overview  Current design  Future work  Look back

3. 3 FDR ECE 415 Project Objective Society Need  Need for water quality measuring for under developed countries Engineering Need  Handheld device that will display real-time measurements (pH, salinity, temperature) of a liquid  Wireless transmission using Bluetooth technology

4. 4 FDR ECE 415 Existing Alternatives  Expensive  Individual sensing devices  Integrated devices but for expert / industrial use  High cost / lead to rentals

5. 5 FDR ECE 415 Proposed Design Features  Must be more affordable than current designs (≈$300).  Must be portable handheld device.  Must accurately measure pH, salinity, temperature.  Must include real-time display & wireless data transmission (see below)  Must have data log and rudimentary processing capabilities (off-board).

7. 7 FDR ECE 415 Block Diagram

8. 8 FDR ECE 415 Why this design choice?  Arduino MINI development board: multiple I/Os, easier software development, reliable.  Nokia 6100 LCD display: real-time measurements, color, cheap, low power.  BlueSmirf Gold Bluetooth: reliable, range ≈100m.  Vernier temperature probe, ph and salinity sensors: accurate, cheap.

9. 9 FDR ECE 415 CDR progress snapshot  Arduino board wired and programmed.  Used sensors for real time measurements.  Sensors, Display, Arduino integrated.  Showed BlueTooth connection.

10. 10 FDR ECE 415 Current Design  Finalized design decisions Display, memory, streaming vs. real time, on/off switches, LED lights, sampling rate, power consumption  LCD integration  Sensor integration  Establish bluetooth connection with PC

12. 12 FDR ECE 415 Sensing Duration vs Sensing Sample Rate  Constrain: No external memory used.  Constrain: Federal regulations require public drinking supplies to be tested every 4 hours.  With given memory size, sample rate will determine how long we can store data.  Utilize Arduino built in memory 14KB(total) – 8KB(software) = 6KB(left for storage)  6000bytes/12bytes(data) = 500(samples)

15. 15 FDR ECE 415 On Power Consumption (Battery Life, cont’d) 9V AAA AA C D Lithium Ion

16. 16 FDR ECE 415 Power Senario  Arduino and Sensors on all day. 66.972mAh x 24 hours = 1607.328 mA per day.  Display put on for 1 hour every day. 70.7mAh x 1 hour = 70.7mA per day.  Bluetooth turned on for 5 minutes every week. 32.588mAh x 5/(60x7) hour = 0.388 mA per day.  Total current used per day = 1694.322 mA.  Using 9V battery  lasted 3.5 hours(tested).

17. 17 FDR ECE 415 Recap (Accomplishments)  Integrate multiple sensors  Integrate LCD display with Arduino  Integrate Wireless connection (need more work)  Stay below budget (parts break!!)

18. 18 FDR ECE 415 Future work  Finish Bluetooth  Quantify accuracy  Updated Printed Circuit Board  Case design

19. 19 FDR ECE 415 Demo Day Deliverables Hardware:  Integrated handheld device  Wireless connectivity Software:  Data logging using Matlab  Arduino programmed using C Suggested Demo:  Show functionality by testing controlled samples
