HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
 The sensor board contains the hardware
and firmware components required to
implement a full Wi-Fi –compatible IEEE
802.11b network interface.
 It concludes 4 main sections:
* The inputs
* DPAC
* The Outputs
* Power Supply
The Inputs
 The inputs are divided into two groups.
 The group of the sensors include
SHT75, MiCS 4514, GPS, Li200SA.
 The group of power monitors include
Solar panel current monitor, battery
voltage monitor.
The Sensors
 These are the weather sensors
 The sensor output signals includes two
groups:
* Analog output (CO/NO2, Solar Radiation
Sensor)
* Digital output (GPS, Humidity Temp
SHT75 sensor)
 These sensors connect with the board
via the connectors
SHT75 Sensor
Lassen iQ GSP receiver Module
Mounting:
 It uses a single 8-pin
(2x4) male header
connector (Samtec-ASP
69533-01) for both power
and data I/O.
 It is mounted on our
sensor board by surfaceMount Mating Connector
(Samtec- CLP-104-02).
 There are four mounting
solder tabs on the bottom
of the enclosure for
securing it on the PCB.
Cont.
 RF Connector:
- The RF connector mounted on the
Lassen iQ GPS receiver is a Hirose
Connector( H.FL-R-SMT (10) 50 Ohm).
 GPS Antennas:
- The antenna receives the GPS satellite
signals and passes them to the receiver.
The GPS signals are spread spectrum
signals in the 1575 MHz range and do
not penetrate conductive or opaque
surfaces.
Cont:
 The Ultra-Compact
Embedded GPS
Antenna with an
HFLconnector, is
ideal for portable and
mobile applications.
Cont.
 Power Requirements:
-The Lassen iQ GPS module requires
+3.3 VDC ±0.3 VDC at 33 mA, typical excluding
the antenna.
 Battery Back-up:
-The Lassen iQ GPS receiver provides an
input for battery back-up (BBU) from 2.5V to
3.6V power to keep the module's RAM memory
alive and to power the real-time clock when the
receiver's prime power is turned off.
- RAM memory is used to store the GPS
almanac, ephemeris, and last position.
Cont.
 Digital IO/Power Connector Pinout:
CO/NO2 Sensor (MiCS-4514)

Sensor Characteristics
Li-Cor #LI-200SA Pyranometer
 Measures total solar
radiation
 Measures direct and
reflected solar
radiation
 mounts to tower with
custom NRG side
mounting boom and
hose clamps
 Sensor range from 0
to 3000W/m2
Output signal:
- small current signal proportional to total solar radiation (90
μA per 1000 Watts/m2)
- range from 0 μA to 270 μA (typical)
Measurement:
- Converts small current signal output into
differential ended voltage output by using Rload =100 Ohm
- Uses chip INA 122UA to convert into single ended Voltage
to connet to DPAC
- With Rf=2.4KOhm,
- Chip Gain = 5+200k/2.4K=88.33.
- Voutmax= 270*10^-6*100*88.33 = 2.385V
SR Power =( Vout*10^6)/(9*88.33)
Solar Panel Current Monitor
 Uses monitor current circuit via the
voltage across an external sense
resistor.
 Chooses chip LTC6102 with analog
Voltage output to connect with DPAC,
V offset= 10MicroV
R sense = 0.001Ohm, Rin=3 Ohm,
Rout = 2.49 K Ohm
 I sense = Vout* Rout / (R sense*Rin)
Battery Voltage Monitor
 Max DPAC analog input Voltage is 2.5V
 Max Battery Voltage = 12V*1.2=14.4V.
 Need to build Voltage divider for this
input:
V-Bat
R1=18KOhm
R2=2KOhm
V Bat = 10*V in

Power Sources
 The sensor board is powered from the
12V charge controller.
 The 12V charge controller can derive
power from either Unisolar Us-5 5W,
12V Thin film Module solar panel or 12V,
5 Ah -battery.
 The charge controller will protect our
batteries from being overcharged by our
solar panels and it will block any reverse
current as well.
Power Supplies
 The sensor board is supplied power from
+12V charge controller.
 It derives its 5V and 3.3V supplies using
onboard regulators
 The 5 V power supply is based on an
LM2673S-5.0 switching regulator.
 The 3.3 V power supply is derived from
the 5 V supply using a Series LDO
(LP3962ES-3.3) regulator.
 These two power supplies are used for
DPAC and the sensor power.
