Ethernet and PC-based experiments on barometric altimetry using MEMS in a wireless sensor network

This paper presents a training framework that applies to Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) technology. Recommendations are in line with a prototype educational platform along with an innovative set of experiments for a creative training on barometric altimetry. The proposed platform relies on a wireless sensor network system of Ethernet as well as PC-based (i.e., LabVIEW) user interface for ambient air pressure acquisition. The web user...
