System Overview

Project Specifications

Project Specs: Interface

User selected time operation time.Wireless sensors-cannon communications.

Project Specs: Operation

2 week+ battery life.Detect Deer and Elk at least 200 feet away

from sensors.300 ft sensor-cannon communication range.Sensors communicate to all cannons in range.Random cannon detonation interval.Operate in a variety of terrains & vegetation.

Project Specs: All Weather

Withstand temperatures from -10°F to 120°F in direct sunlight.

Operate in snow and rain.

Project Specs: Size

Sensor:Weigh less than 2 lbs.Smaller than 5”x5”x5” (not including mast).

Control Unit:Weigh less than 5 lbsSmaller than 10”x10”x5”

Project Desirables

InterfaceNetwork select option.On/Off switch

OperationUse existing gas valves with solenoid

modification.

Design Decisions

SensorsCompleted:

Upgraded Whip AntennaModified NEMA IV

EnclosureSturdy Design

Larger and Heavier than Anticipated

To Do:Add Power Switch Incorporate Battery TrayBuild Remaining

Housings

Sensor Modification

Original Sensor/TX Module

Modified Sensor Module Enclosure

Wireless Network Topology

Solenoid and ValveCompleted:

Solenoid Operates Valve

Controlled with MC via H-Bridge

To Do:

Test with pressurized line.

Receiver & ControllerCompleted:

Toggles Solenoid Accepts Trimpot Input

To Do: Add Power Switch Wire to Receiver Add Receiver Input

Activation

Receiver & Controller Operation

Dial Select detonations per

sighting.On/Off SwitchChannel Select

Feature built into Glolabs parts

Controller Network Concept

7 I/O pins required for our design

Performance6654 Successful Detonations

Equivalent to 554 animal sightings (worst case). Better performance using non-generic batteries Recommend lithium AAs

Receiver 1in wider than specified.Still need to calibrate sensors/measure range.
