Abstract
The most complex and impossible to automate process in the digital system designing is software development, which takes up 85 to 95% of the total labor intensity. The article discussed the development of software for implementing a low-cost wireless temperature monitoring system using unlicensed ISM (“industrial, scientific and medical”) radio frequency bands. The proposal is to use a bottom-up programming algorithm, which reduces the entry threshold for acquiring knowledge in the field of structured programming. The authors provide examples of simple testing of software modules using the Arduino IDE. The authors have developed experimental samples of the transmitting and receiving subsystems necessary for software development, debugging and research. The hardware is based on the Arduino platform, NRF24L01+PA+LNA transceivers and DS18B20 digital temperature sensors. The data exchange radius between the transmitting and receiving subsystems in line-of-sight conditions with a maximum transmitter power and a data transfer rate of 250 Kbit/s was between 800 and 900 m. When transmitting eight bytes of useful data, i.e. the current temperature of two sensors with an interval of one second, the average current consumed by the transmitting subsystem was 22 mA.
