EGRE 581 GMU Power Needed To Measure and Transmit Temperature Information Paper
Please help me with this homework. Please read the requirement carefully:
At a remote location, you would like to measure temperature (once every 7 min) and instantly
transmit over a mile distance using a microcontroller board (Raspberry Pi or Arduino).
▪ Pick all the components you would need (temperature sensor, transmitter, etc.) and calculate
how much power is required to perform this action for a day.
▪ Choose a battery and calculate how long it will last.
▪ Comment on the power requirements: How much power is low power, what can you
reasonably provide at the edge?
Provide information about all components you pick, and justify all your results/assumptions using
datasheets, other sources, and calculations.
