Abstract

This paper presents the development of a prototype of a system for remote data acquisition of environmental variables in the Amazon forest. The system performs all the functions of a Datalogger and has the task of analyzing behavior in a forest reserve by a intelligent agent, which contains expert systems of the standards related to environmental variables of temperature, relative humidity and dew point. The hardware is composed by a computational microcontrolled unit that contains an analog/digital data acquisition in serial communication interfaces.
