Abstract
The focus of Zigbee technology is centered around selfforming and self-healing adhoc wireless networks with star, tree, and mesh topologies being supported. The application developer need not worry of technical details surrounding network formation, as these conditions are established and maintained by the protocol itself. Zigbee is considered ideal for many control and remote monitoring applications. Being a relatively simple protocol, Zigbee can be implemented on low-cost hardware consisting primarily of a 2.4GHz radio transceiver in tandem with a low power, 8-bit microcontroller. While other wireless communication standards- including Bluetoothare limited to a few dozen nodes at best, Zigbee can theoretically support a network of up to 64,000 individual nodes. The transmission range between Zigbee modules varies between 30-300 meters, depending upon several factors including the presence of concrete barriers, and the transceiver power characteristics. To examine the suitability of Zigbee technology for relatively simple embedded applications, a design project was proposed; essentially a low power embedded bicycle computer utilizing the Zigbee protocol to facilitate wireless data transfer. This device will consist of two network nodes – one for sensing purposes, and the other for data display via an LCD. To carry out the required tasks, several technologies are applied: transducer based sensors for determining wheel rotation; microcontroller facilities for data processing; and RF transceivers for wireless data communication. This design proposal not only allowed for practical implementation within a restricted time frame, but also to an extent demonstrates the capabilities of the Zigbee protocol, within the context of low power, wireless embedded applications.
