GW12 Tests

Hardware Component Tests

Due to the hand-made construction of GW12s each module had to be tested carefully

LED Tests

The 3-colour led has been tested and works perfectly. The firmware to turn the leds on/off works.

User Switch Test

The user switch works, but the code to run different functions on different lengths of pushing time has not been implemented.

Voltage Regulator Tests

The voltage regulators have been tested for power output. Details can be seen below. In these tests, the 1st radio regulator was switched on, and then 5ms later, the 2nd regulator was switched on.

Factor Value
Delay 288ms
Pre Voltage ±4.25
Post Voltage ±4.96
Power out 125mW

Factor Value
Delay 265ms
Pre Voltage ±4.20
Post Voltage ±4.85
Power out 485mW


Further tests: The following voltage regulator tests still need to be carried out:

  • switch on radio
  • transmit simple signal

Energy Tests

Current consumption needs to be measured for the different sleep and active states.

  • 2012 Battery Voltage Tests
  • 2012 Energy Tests
    • uSD card read/write test
    • Radio test
    • sleep with RTC
      • 0.46mA measured in the lab with pcb No. 3
    • active on turn on
      • 7.5mA
    • active and serious necessary processing

Firmware Tests

  • I2C Driver
  • Radio Driver Tests
  • 2012 Network Tests

Sensor Tests
