\title{Fenceless Grazing - Design Document}
\author{Danila Fedorin, \and Matthew Sessions, \and Ryan Alder}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
The Fenceless Grazing Collar system aims to reduce the amount of work
needed by farmers to keep herds of grazing animals. The project
will be implemented using the LoRa wireless communication protocol to allow
for long-range interaction between animal-worn collars and a gateway device.
Ths gateway device will also provide an HTTP-based JSON API to apply configuration
changes to collars through an application built for Android mobile devices.
The MariaDB SQL database management system will be used to store the data
received from the collar for viewing and analysis.

The collar component is the physical device that will be placed onto grazing

\begin{itemize}
\item \emph{Driver:} The driver component is the software responsible for
the interaction of the various components of the collar. As described
in the structure viewpoint, the collar will be made of several
physical devices, such as an AVR Atmega128 microcontroller, a
LoRa shield, and hardware for emitting sound. The driver
component is the low-level software (likely written in AVR
assembly) for interfacing with these components.

implement the core state machine (see State View), and will
issue commands to hardware through the driver.

The following data items will be stored by the Fenceless Grazing Collar system:

the GPS coordinates of the device, the battery level, as well as whether
the GPS coordinates of the device, the battery level, the current date
and time, as well as whether
or not the device is currently outside of the prescribed area bounds.
\item \emph{Stimulus Activation Report:} If a collar uses an auditory or electrical
stimulus to attempt to influence the behavior of its host animal, the conditions
of this event will be stored. This data item consists of the GPS location at the
time of the event, the level of stimulus used (volume of sound or voltage), as well

design concern: LoRa works over \textbf{Lo}ng \textbf{Ra}nge, and is bidirectional. These properties
