Ultra-Low-Power Sensor Evaluation Kit.
ULPSEK (Ultra-Low-Power Sensor Evaluation Kit) has been designed to create wearable sensor application with an extended battery runtime.
Extended Battery Runtime.
The power consumption and battery runtime can be precalculated using the ULPSEK energy calculator.
Modular and Extensible.
ULPSEK is a modular set of sesors, radio modules, microcontrollers and power supplies made to evaluate different strategies to reduce the power consumption to a minimum level.
Open Source Software.
The ULPSEK embedded software been released under LGPL license. Parts of the software are also GPL.
Development Kit
ULPSEK is a development kit for ultra-low-power biomedical wearable sensors. ULPSEK has been designed for research purposes within the PhD thesis by Andreas Tobola at Fraunhofer IIS in Erlangen, Germany. ULPSEK is modular and extensible. The software and the hardware is optimized for low-power applications. This page provides additional information related to this research work.
Miniaturized Sensor
The sensor belt is a software compatible equivalent of a specific configuration of ULPSEK. Moreover, ULPSEK and the miniaturized sensor belt are equivalent in power consumption. Thus, applications can be comfortable developed at the evaluation kit (ULPSEK) and then deployed to the miniaturized sensor belt for real usage.
Energy Calculator
Almost every design decision has an effect on battery runtime. Configure and optimize your application while watching the effects on battery runtime in real-time. This calculator is part of a publication we have submitted recently.
