A ZigBee based embedded remote control system

Wireless remote control system can make our daily life more convenience. In this paper, a Zigbee based embedded remote control system is implemented. The system not only provides the wireless communication capability by utilizing Zigbee technique but also runs on an embedded board rather than a PC, to make the system size smaller, the power consumption and cost lower. The Web Server is boa in this system. Moreover, the paper describes the running and the configuration procedures of boa on the embedded broad in detail. Since the embedded Web Server uses common gateway interface (CGI) to communicate with other modules in the system, the CGI program is also described here. The software design of Zigbee is based on TI´s Z-stack, and the Zigbee modules are implemented by TI´s CC2430. The testing system can be visited in any remote places wherever you have an Internet interface and a browser with any standard. The controlled modules can be communicated by wireless mode. Therefore, our designed system is a promising candidate for home automation applications, remote industrial control areas and remote patient monitoring system.
