Project Overview
Develop a self-contained network of tracked surface drifters for
near coastal application.
Housing
Electronics
Power System
GPS receiver
Radio transceiver
Microcontroller
Any of these drifters within range of the base station will then be
able to send all the information from all other drifters, thus
providing a self-contained drifter network.
 Many such drifters are deployed globally by the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as part of the world
climate observation program.

memory and thus the temperature can be
held until a more convenient time when the
data can be logged.
 1 temperature reading per GPS fix

Temperature Sensor
Interfacing Maxim DS18B20
 Digital temperature sensor that uses serial
communication through the DQ pin.

adequate amount of amp-hours in order to provide
enough current for each electrical component to be
operational throughout its 15 day deployment.

Voltage regulation
If battery chosen has a nominal voltage of more than 3.3 V, a
voltage regulator will need to be implemented to maximize
battery life and supply the correct operating voltage to the
components.

Voltage Regulator
MAX882/MAX883/MAX884 line regulator
 The regulator input supply voltage can range from 2.7V to
11.5V
 Low Dropout Voltage: 220mV

Power Systems
PCB protection
 Lithium Ion batteries must connect to a protection circuit
module to protect Li-Ion Battery from overcharge, over
discharge and to prevent accidental battery explosion
due to its extra high energy density.

Power Systems
Testing/ Verification
 The testing of this task will include a number of power
consumption tests. First, each electrical component will
be attached separately to a multimeter or oscilloscope to
validate that the component is operating within its
electrical specifications.
 Second, based on the results in the previous step the
results can be then used to tweak network parameters
such as transmission time or microprocessor algorithms
in an attempt to lower power consumption and increase
theoretical operation time.

Deciding Factors
 Cost
 The most critical factor. We can change the amount of
material used and needed, but we can’t change the
amount of money allotted.
 Stability
 Each design has it’s strengths and weaknesses.

Ex: Cylinders bob or tilt back and forth, blocks can snag, and
spheres will roll/pitch.
Deciding Factors (cont.)
 Ease of Fabrication
 There is a risk of losing these at sea or a need for more.
The Marine Lab should be able to reproduce them if
necessary.
 Impact Resistance and Weight
 Each are there own category but carry the same weight
in regards to decision making. Increasing impact
resistance typically increases weight. However, these are
weighted less than the other factors due to their effects
on performance and project completion.

Performance Analysis
Testing in Detail
 Floatation – Check water level. Our goal is to have the
drifter sit low enough in the water to avoid wind drag but
not too low that it loses stability.
 The Diameter can be increased or decreased to effect
floatation.
Testing in Detail
 Wavelength and Frequency
 We want to avoid accidentally matching the wavelength
of the test area witch would amplify the amount of roll
that the drifter experiences.
 An optimal diameter would be 1.5 – 2 times the
wavelength but we have not determined the
approximate wavelength of the test area and can not
compare the data at this moment.
Testing in Detail
 Adjusting the diameter however, risks our balance with the
wavelength, instead we can also adjust the vertical profile
of the drifter. For example, we can make it more cylindrical
to the top and bowl-like at the bottom.
 This change allows us to change the volume of water that
we’re displacing allowing for a change in water level.
Testing in Detail
 Dr. Oats
 Vibration testing was initially one of
our determined test methods but
after discussing the pros and cons
we determined it was not worth
pursuing.
 Impact testing was also examined
but we believe our electronics will
fail before the hull fails, therefore,
any testing would be to determine
the limit of the electronics. This test
would require us to purposely
destroy valuable material.

XBee-PRO XSC RF Module Risks
If the serial interface data rate is set higher than the RF data rate of the module,
the module will receive data from the host faster than it can transmit the data
over-the-air.
If the module is receiving a continuous stream of data, monitoring data on a
network, or awaiting acknowledgments for Retries functionality, any serial data
that arrives on the DI pin is placed in the DI Buffer. The data in the DI buffer will
be transmitted over-the-air when the module no longer detects RF data in the
network.
If the RF data rate is higher than the set interface data rate of the module, the
module will receive data from the transmitting module faster than it can send
the data to the host and data will be lost.
If the host does not allow the RF module to send data out of the DO buffer
because of hardware or software flow control data will be lost
Care must be taken not surpass the XBee's baud rate limit of 56,700 bps or data
will have a high chance of being corrupted and the drifter system could be
rendered unusable

MSP430G2553 Microcontroller Risks
The 16 kB flash for storing the main program may be inadequate for unaccounted
complexities in the overall integration of the MSP430G2553 with other
components
The 512 bytes of RAM may be inadequate for unaccounted data that would be
beneficial or necessary to store on the MSP430G2553
The digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) is sensitive to temperature and may slow
down or speed up significantly which may cause all time dependent functions like
UART communications to introduce errors into data
The amount of pins may be inadequate to fully interface MSP430G2553 with all of
the necessary components
Since the MSP430G2553's functions are multiplexed there might be a function
that is needed but cannot be used because the pin it is on is currently configured
5
as another function. For example, if you need to use both timers but the pin with
one of the timers is currently being used as a serial communication device

GPS Risks
Maestro A2100 GPS Module Risks and Manufacturer Precautions
1
2
3
The A2100-A needs an external pull-up resistor to be configured for UART operation. Please
consider the pull-up resistor in your design or pull the GPIO up right after reset by other means.
The ON_OFF input of the A2100-A needs to be connected to a push-pull output of a
microprocessor. For a wake-up, including the initial one after power on, a LOW-HIGH
transmission is mandatory.
It is recommended to connect the nRST pin of the A2100-A to an open collector / open drain
output of a microprocessor!
4
It is recommended to supply Vcc continuously! Use SiRFaware or other low power modes to
reduce power consumption of the module while no position information is required.
5
Care must be taken to implement an orderly shut-down sequence along with supplying power for
a certain period of time after initiating the shut-down sequence. Abrupt removal or drop of
power while the module is running has risks ranging from minor impact on TTFF to fatal
corruption of flash memory code area!
6
Generally, the quality of the GPS antenna chosen (passive or active) is of paramount importance
for the overall sensitivity of the GPS system. Losses through a bad antenna, long cables or tracks
or a bad antenna position can’t be compensated afterwards.
