AB  -     Implement Smart Sensors with Wireless Communication Protocols and Embedded                                  MicrocontrollersAbstract         Wireless communication becomes popular and widely used almost everywhere in ourdaily life. Their applications are in existence of: Cellular Wireless for telephone system, datacollection, voice communication, and other mobile or extremely remote devices, Bluetooth forlow-power applications in short range and moderate date bandwidth, Proprietary ISM (industrial,scientific, medical) protocols used in open frequency bands from 260 to 470 MHz, 902 to 928MHz, and 2.4GHz, 802.11/WiFi in wireless data communications, 802.15/ZigBee for meshnetworks of sensors and controllers, and Z-Wave for low speed wireless protocol of homeelectronics devices to intercommunicate using reliable protocol that easily travels through walls,floors, and cabinets.         Sensors with embedded intelligence and integrated with cost effective wireless protocolshave been recognized as smart sensors in many applications such as smart home appliances,home automation, green technology in energy conservation and harvesting, and remote datalogging etc. This proposed presentation is implemented in the classification between ProprietaryISM, ZigBee and Z-Wave wireless applications. It is built based on the MRF24J40MA (2.4GHzRF modules) that follows the IEEE 802.15.4TM-2003 rules, standards, and software protocolsdesigns with SPI interfacing to the PIC16F877A microcontroller. The project uses three 2.4 GHzRF modules (MRF24J40MA), and three PIC16F877A hosted in three previously developed lowcost PIC microcontroller training systems. The sensors are designed as Slaves and responsiblefor conditioning and reporting temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. The controlunit is categorized as a Master and responsible for interacting with user/host to decide when,where, and how to report the data to the inquiries. In addition to the sensor on the Slaves, thereare assistances from real time clock and external EEPROM devices to provide time stamped realtime data for future inquiry from the Master. All the communications between the Master andmultiple Slaves are wireless RF signals with customized software protocols design.         Engineering technology focuses on both “hands-on and mind-on” design work and thepractice is to integrate existing technology products into real world applications. Through theimplementation of this project, students have been provided the opportunities to learn aboutcurrent technological concepts and to prepare and qualify for high-tech jobs for today and in thefuture. Highlights of the presentation will address the following:          Comparison of various wireless applications.          Introduction of IEEE 802.15.4TM-2003 rules and standards.          Hardware and software designs of the wireless project.          RF communication protocols with SPI interfacing.          Cost effectiveness analysis of using a 2.4 GHz MRF24J40MA RF transceiver.          Potential uses of this project design in other applications       Topic Areas:     1. Capstone Projects in Electrical ET                        2. Embedded System Designs in ET                        3. Wireless Communication Applications
