Open source data logger for low-cost environmental monitoring
نویسنده
چکیده
The increasing transformation of biodiversity into a data-intensive science has seen numerous independent systems linked and aggregated into the current landscape of biodiversity informatics. This paper outlines how we can move forward with this programme, incorporating real time environmental monitoring into our methodology using low-power and low-cost computing platforms.

Cave Pearl Data Logger: A Flexible Arduino-Based Logging Platform for Long-Term Monitoring in Harsh Environments
A low-cost data logging platform is presented that provides long-term operation in remote or submerged environments. Three premade "breakout boards" from the open-source Arduino ecosystem are assembled into the core of the data logger. Power optimization techniques are presented which extend the operational life of this module-based design to >1 year on three alkaline AA batteries. Robust under...
متن کاملNiphargus: A silicon band-gap sensor temperature logger for high-precision environmental monitoring
A temperature logger, called “Niphargus”, was developed at the Geological Survey of Belgium to monitor temperature of local natural processes with sensitivity of the order of a few hundredths of degrees to monitor temperature variability in open air, caves, soils and rivers. The newly developed instrument uses a state-of-the-art band-gap silicon temperature sensor with digital output. This sens...

متن کاملMonitoring soil moisture and water table height with a low-cost data logger
Comprehensive temporal data sets are often needed in geosciences to understand and model environmental phenomena. Time series data sets in the geosciences have traditionally been captured by costly commercial sensors and data loggers ($100–1000s). Dedrick et al. (2000) presented a less costly ($10 s) and publicly available device known as the Hobart and William Smith Data Logger (HWSDL) (Halfma...
متن کاملIn situ Measurements of Phytoplankton Fluorescence Using Low Cost Electronics
Chlorophyll a fluorometry has long been used as a method to study phytoplankton in the ocean. In situ fluorometry is used frequently in oceanography to provide depth-resolved estimates of phytoplankton biomass. However, the high price of commercially manufactured in situ fluorometers has made them unavailable to some individuals and institutions. Presented here is an investigation into building...
