1. What we do

We are the firmware subteam, part of the UBC Sustaingineering Electrical Team. If you are new to Sustaingineering, check out the Welcome Package.

The firmware team is working on the Enicalsa Solar Pumps project, trying to collect data on the operation of solar-powered water pumps to monitor their function and allow engineers to detect and fix issues rapidly.

An example of a solar-powered water pump that Benito is responsible for{:height="350px" width="200px"}

We are using microcontrollers to read data from sensors and relay the information back to a server, where the data is uploaded to the internet. This document will help you understand the software and hardware we use to do this, and put you on your way to contributing to this project.
