11Electrical & Computer Engineering
Power Consumption Solar Panel supplies a maximum of 1.8 Watts at
125 mAh 2000mAh capacity battery will take 16 -20 hours
to fully charge Typical operation, 500mAh will be drawn
• 4 hours continuous use When powered on for 12 minutes:
• 5% of the battery is discharged• 48-60 minutes to recharge back to full• ~72 minute cycles• Operates for 24 hours without charging
12Electrical & Computer Engineering
Sample Frequency Minimum of 72 minute sample cycles using best
case operating power, and sending after every sample
Will be at least once every 2 hours• Results in 20 samples in 40 hours without recharging
Reduced transmit rate• Delay sending until several samples have been taken• Will increase how often a sample can be taken
13Electrical & Computer Engineering
Gecko micro controller Ultra low power
• 1 to 16 MHz configurable clock rate• 200µA per MHz when running
• 1.6mA @ 8 Mhz• 1250 continuous operating hours with 2000mAh battery
• 45µA per MHz Sleep Mode• 5µA Deep Sleep Mode
32Kb Flash memory UART / SPI interface GPIO Pins
14Electrical & Computer Engineering
Transmitter GPRS (General Packet Radio Service)
• GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900MHz • Performance for voice, SMS, Data, and Fax• Low power consumption: 1.5mA(sleep mode)• Operation temperature: -40°C to +85 °C
15Electrical & Computer Engineering
Transmitter Continued Transmit using GPRS (Mobile Internet)
• 1460 byte package sizes• UART interface to Microcontroller
Use web methods for posting data to MySQL database
