Abstract
This paper presents the design and implementation of a set of prototype nodes that have the ability to establish communication links in ad hoc mode. The prototypes were implemented using low cost, single board computers with embedded Linux (Raspberry Pi devices). The implemented stations aim to set a wireless sensor network for the capture of variables applied to agricultural environments. In particular, a camera module has been included on a node for remote video monitoring of farming zones, and also a GPS module for the capture of geolocation information. Nodes can be accessed remotely by means of the developed web interface. The routing process between nodes is carried out using the S-OLSR mechanism (OLSR modification) in order to set up routes taking into account the energy limitations as well as the location of each device in the topology. Results describe the contribution of this work to the design of monitoring applications on agricultural zones by means of the deployment of autonomous ad hoc nodes and energy routing optimization.
