Central Node


DEVICE COMPONENTS

  • Board Computer: It is the computational device of the Central Node: it is responsible for the coordination beetween the identification of the tags and the notification system. It also stores the database.
  •  
  • Bluetooth 4.0 USB Adapter: It is connected to the board computer and is responsible for the comunication between Central Node,Tags Nodes and User Interface Node.
  •  
  • Wifi USB Adapter: It is connected to the board computer and is responsible for the comunication between the Central Node and the Web Server.
  •  
  • Secondary User Interface (Beeper, Display): devices that allow the user to receive notifications if the User Interface Node isn't available.
