Implementación de un prototipo electrónico autosustentable geo-localizado con nodos inalámbricos para la ubicación de mascotas mediante una red de sensores.

Abstract

A self-sustaining electronic prototype with geo-localization was implemented through wireless nodes and communication with the Zigbee standard for the location of pets in a delimited area and a star type network for communication between the nodes. It consists of two modules: Supervision Node, which collects latitude and longitude data and Coordinating Node that is responsible for storing the data to the cloud and allows real-time visualization of the location. The information obtained is stored on the platform called Ubidots, which allows to know the location of the pet and by means of a short message system (SMS) to alert the owner of the pet outside the defined area. The prototype is easy portability, low cost and adequate performance for which it was developed. Of the tests carried out, the communication reach between the two nodes is 100 meters with line of sight, it is established that the communication is excellent from 1 to 50 meters, 51 to 70 high, 71 to 90 medium, 91 to 100 low and from 101 to 150 non-operational. The coefficient of variation of the prototype was calculated where it has a variation of 0.2127% to 0.8587% in latitude and in length of 0.117% to 0.1085% where the device is stable. The electronic prototype has an autonomous power of 11.29 continuous hours, without the help of the solar panel after that it will be charged automatically when the battery requires it. It is concluded that the electronic prototype implemented meets the requirements, and that it is helpful for people who have a pet. It is recommended to implement and carry out studies to reduce the size of the prototype and increase sensors to measure other variables.
