Measure and report environment data using XBEE nodes and a browser based graphical user interface.

The nodes

This project was my senior design project for my last year of school at South Dakota School of Mines & Technology. My partner and I created shield boards for XBEE wireless modules. These shields made it easy to attach sensors for temperature, lighting, and humidity along with an indicator LED. The XBEE network used a self healing mesh network which made it easy to add new nodes or compensate for a missing node. The node’s signal needed to go through brick walls and so pro modules were the ideal candidates. Basic XBEE modules were also used in the network due to their availability.
