Abstract :
The issues exist in the traditional environmental monitoring system for the campus, such as high costs, inflexibility deployment of instrument and so on. There are various kinds of solutions that make use of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for environmental monitoring. However, they are not the most appropriate solution for the environmental monitoring in the campus because of longer than desired development cycles. In this paper, it proposes WSNs prototype for environmental monitoring in the campus based on Arduino open source platform. The design of system is described in detail, which includes sensor nodes, sink nodes and the server. The experiment shows that the system is reasonable and feasible, it can realize timely collection, and works stable during data processing.
