My name is Andrew Poirier and I'm a second-year Computer Engineering major and Computer Science minor. I was born in raised in Gainesville, FL and moved to Tallahassee in Fall 2020. When I graduate, I hope to either jump right into the engineering workforce or to continue my studies in a Cybersecuirty route.

Partial Mesh Network for Self-Powered Cyber Physical Systems

Abstract

In summary, there was one sensor NRF5340 microcontroller connected to a BMA 250 chip accelerometer, in hopes of being connected to a temperature sensor and a voltage sensor. Sensor microcontrollers play an important role in cyber-physical systems because they’re important for detecting potential system failure signs by reading certain pieces of data including but not limited to temperature and voltage. This experiment utilizes the Microsoft Visual Studio program and the Nordic Semiconductor nRF Connect software to produce this design. Furthermore, this method takes a different approach compared to the conventional methods, which typically utilize built-in hardware functions. Instead, this low-level programming approach will allow for more configurations for the operations of all connected devices. The results of this experiment will show whether or not this change will be more efficient and useful in terms of its application to cyber-physical systems.
