Room-to-Room Mesh Beacon

Low-power beacon network demonstrating indoor proximity and handoff behavior. Low-power beacon network demonstrating indoor proximity and handoff behavior.

Components

  • Low-power mesh nodes + beacon/proximity firmware
  • Regulated low-voltage bench supply
  • Emergency stop or safe fallback input

Build steps

  1. Inventory the board, actuators, sensors, and power rails listed for S10.
  2. Build and inspect the low-voltage wiring against the supplied connection diagram before connecting actuators.
  3. Flash the firmware, run the startup self-check, and record the printed board and firmware version.
  4. Calibrate the sensors and limits, then run the acceptance tests at the lowest safe energy level.

Test and expected result

Measure packet loss, range, battery draw, and graceful node dropout.

Safety and limits

Use test identifiers, not real user tracking data.
