Abstract

In order to address the accuracy issues of the hand-pushed wheel rangefinder, this paper proposes a solution that integrates IoT technology and angle sensors into the device to enhance accuracy and informationization level. A wheel rangefinder based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology is designed. The central control device of this system adopts a STM32 microcontroller. The system includes a voltage boosting and dropping circuit, a reset circuit, a gyroscope module, an indicator light module, and a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) transmission module. The gyroscope module is designed to calculate the actual running distance of the handcart through angle measurement, enabling real-time recording and remote transmission of measurement data. Compared with total stations, rangefinders, and measuring ropes, this system is of good effectiveness and its average error is within 1%. At the same time, it has the capability to save measurement information to the database.
