Requirements

• Firmware running at real-time
• Read pressure sensor at 100hertz
• Wireless communication between two MCUs
• Capture system location using a GPS
• Time stamp capture data
• Solar tracker to find optimal postion for the battery charger

IPIA Data Capture

To visualize the data that was being capture, a python script was develop that reads the data being transmitted via the wireless communication. The script uses pyserial and matplotlib packages to send the capture data from the HC-05 Module and store it into a csv file. Here is small demostration.
