Since the release of the Raspberry Pi, low-power Linux systems have become common. They have reached the point where a small solar panel is sufficient to both power the device during the day and charge a battery to allow it to continue running at night. Connecting multiple of these devices together creates a network that will continue operating indefinitely in the event of a major utility failure.

Student team will develop, build, and demonstrate an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) quadcopter system to map antenna radiation patterns, to measure cell phone reception signals.

Students will be expected to integrate the RF measurement circuit with the on board flight control computer. This will require a minimum of two microcontrollers: The flight controller that interfaces with flight functions and GPS, and the RF measurement microcontroller that measures RF field patterns. Both microcontrollers should be interfaced.

I'm available to mentor a student group who has a project focused on software.  Good choices might include tools for developing software, tools for securing software (including IoT systems), or IoT systems.
