Abstract

This paper presents a combined platform of wireless sensors and actuators based on embedded controller. To proof the concept a fireworks detonation system utilizing MOSFETs to switch high current bursts has been developed. All required electronics, enclosure panel and control software have been fabricated. Commands are intelligently issued using an intuitive user interface. Manual control of channel firing and testing as well as a scripting system allow for complex and visually stunning firework demonstrations to be put together.
