this entry is written twice, in full

  1. 1.in brief

    low-power ARM sensor system

  2. 2.in general

    A sensor that has to survive on one battery.

  3. 3.in particular

    An ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-M system in C/C++ with I2C sensors and wireless telemetry.

  1. 1.in brief

    a sensor system that has to survive on one battery

  2. 2.in general

    A sensor that has to last, on one battery.

  3. 3.in particular

    Very low-power firmware on a small chip, reading sensors and reporting wirelessly.


note

Firmware for an ARM Cortex-M2 monitoring temperature/humidity via I2C3 sensors with aggressive power management for long deployment, hitting ~95% measurement accuracy with LCD + wireless output. The battery is the design constraint and everything else negotiates around it.

note

Firmware for a small low-power chip reading temperature and humidity from sensors beside it, with aggressive power management so it can be left somewhere for a long time, reaching about 95 per cent measurement accuracy and reporting to both a screen and a wireless link. The battery is the design constraint, and every other decision negotiates around it.
