Özet:

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is one of the emerging technologies which combine sensors and tiny embedded devices over a wireless communication medium nowadays. WSNs gather information from the environment by measuring mechanical, thermal, biological, chemical, optical or magnetic incidents and transmit the collected information from sensor nodes to a sink node. However there are many sensors nodes which can be commercially sold in the markets, these nodes cost high prices and low cost and easy to build up sensor nodes are needed in low budget applications. The aim of this study is to create a low cost wireless sensor network for environment monitoring by using Arduino Platform. In accordance to this aim, Arduino Uno R3 modules are used as wireless sensor network motes. Moreover, to collect data from nodes and communicate between our sensor nodes, a low cost radio transceiver called NRF24L01+ is used for the wireless communication. In to monitor environment, four kinds of sensors (temperature, humidity, carbon monoxide and methane) suitable for Arduino platform selected. In addition, the collected sensors data is displayed to users with a developed windows application by using Visual Studio.Net Platform.
