My Maker Space - Nathan Edwards

In order to conduct realistic experiments on hardware intrusion detection, a real embedded system device must be used.

Since the availability of AMI smart meters are tightly controlled by the manufacturers due to security concerns, an emulated environment had to be created for the empirical data collection of this research.  Thus, the creation of the smart meter research platform which enables researchers to study embedded system questions within a realistic context. The platform provides the basic functionalities of the smart meter without energy usage sampling capability. This alleviates some of the dangers of working with the high energy of a real meter. The smart meter research platform also provides flexibility to interact with the device over USB or over radios of different technologies.

I created this device to enabled my collection of much experimental data tied to my graduate research.  This and more is posted at the below link.
