Developing Radon-Sensor to Gateway Communication for the ArtEmis Project: A Design and Implementation Approach : An In-Depth Analysis of Sensor-Gateway Interaction in the ArtEmis Initiative

Sammanfattning

This project explores the development and implementation of a low-cost and effective connectivity solution for radon gas sensor networks. The goal is to establish a reliable connection between a radon gas sensor and a gateway, which will transmit the collected data to the cloud for further analysis. The project’s significance lies in its potential to improve environmental monitoring and public health through affordable and accessible technology. The problem addressed in this Bachelor’s thesis project is the challenge of creating a cost-effective and efficient communication system for radon gas sensors. This issue is of a suitable degree of difficulty, as it requires the selection and development of communication protocols, integration with the ArtEmis network , and validation of the system’s accuracy and reliability. Despite its importance, this problem has not been directly addressed in the literature. To solve the problem, we will investigate and propose a suitable interface for data transfer between a microcontroller unit (MCU) and the gateway. We will select and develop communication protocols and integrate the system with the ArtEmis network, ensuring the solution is accurate and reliable through extensive testing and validation. The project’s results will provide a practical solution for low-cost connectivity and data transmission in radon gas sensor networks. The impact of our work will be significant, as it will enable more widespread adoption of radon gas monitoring systems, leading to better environmental and public health outcomes. Our findings will serve as a foundation for future research and development in the field of low-cost sensor networks.
