balancing as well asgenerating and receiving the UART communication. Once the base BMS kit had been selected,the next step is to select components to integrate wireless communication. Initial Designs includea plan to establish a wireless network. To do this an ESP32 board was chosen to both translatethe UART signal from the BMS as well as establish a wireless mesh network for communication.Each BMS pack coupled the TLE9012AQU BMS board with its own ESP32. The BMS boardscan power themselves through the pack directly, however the ESP32 will not work as well with sucha large range of voltage. In this case, a buck converter will be connected to power each ESP32with a stable voltage despite any changes in pack voltage. Each battery pack will then

Engineering Technology) program isfour in the year of 2022. This capstone project was created in Spring 2022, and it was concludedin Fall 2022. During the summer semester, there was no official capstone activity. For TexasA&M University at College Station, the mode of operation was already back to the mode of in-person learning. The team had regular weekly in-person meetings with the faculty member. Thename of this capstone project team was Mosqui-Tech. Although this capstone project wasconcluded in Fall 2022, further development and testing are planned to be continued.III.

an international study abroad program. The initial plan wasto install the system in the summer of 2020. The trip was canceled due to the pandemic. In thewinter of 2021, the study abroad program was given the green light, and the projectimplementation period in Costa Rica was three weeks. This paper will focus on a specific portionof the capstone project which is the data acquisition system.Methodology The overall function of the data acquisition system (DAS) was to measure underground soiltemperatures at six depths, measure two different humidity and temperature values, and measuretwo different water temperatures; Table 1 shows the breakdown. This was done using aRaspberry Pi 4 [3] because of its compact size, community support, header
