In this section, we will present several test cases that are relevant to the context of our project, along with a more detailed specification of each one.
Solar Panel: Voltage Assessment in Different Conditions
Objective: Evaluate the stability and suitability of solar panel output voltage under different lighting conditions.
Task Description:
- Testing intense Sunlight: Simulate maximum exposure, ideally at midday.
- Testing low Light: Test in low light conditions, such as early morning, late afternoon or cloudy weather.
LoRa: Evaluate 1 km Range Between Towers in Different Environments
Objective: Assess the effectiveness and reliability of the communication between towers over a distance of 1 km in various settings.
Task Description:
- Scenario 1: Urban Environment (Pará Street, Curitiba)
- Setup: Position one tower at a designated point on Pará Street and the second tower 1 km away, ensuring that they have a clear line of sight.

- Scenario 2: Park Environment (Tingui Park, Curitiba)
- Setup: Set up one tower at a central location in Tingui Park and the second tower 1 km away, also maintaining a clear line of sight.
- Scenario 3: Mountain Environment (Optional)
- Setup: If possible, choose a mountainous area where one tower can be positioned at a higher elevation and the second tower at a distance of 1 km.
