  • IMU sensor

  • A Mindsensors AbsoluteIMU sensor is attached below the two yellow stoppers just behind the ultrasonic sensor with the X axis pointing in the direction of the sensor, as shown in the camera picture below.
  • Make the Sensor Mount

  • (This photo is the homemade sensor, but the mounting method described should not change) Front view of sensor mount. Detail of sensor mount attachment. Cut two pieces of 1/8" aluminum plate: 2.5" x 4" and 4" x 4.5".Using the 3/4" copper U-hangers as...
  • Mount the Sensor Stators

  • Solder 18” long 24 AWG stranded wire into the three holes in each stator plate. I used red/black/green for the T1/T2/GND of the exciter plate. I used white/blue/green for the T1/T2/GND of the capacitor plate. Insert a 1.5” long 4/40 machine...
  • Sensor pod from Log 1

  • For the sensor pod introduced in Log 1: First obtain the battery and Adafruit Circuit Playground boards (as noted in the Components section.) Next, if you have never programmed an Arduino before, you will need to download the Arduino IDE (Integrated...
  • The sensor box central component setup

  • Let's start with the insides of the sensor box: Screw the 8 6mm screws into the support frame: Then add 6 regular 5mm spacers and two with the screw end to the other side of the support frame: Add the solar power management unit to the left side of the...
  • Arduino GPRS IOT Weather Station

  • Arduino Soil Probe Using DS18B20 and DIY Moisture Hardware:As a fanatical gardener or a professional farmer, knowing the environmental conditions of our soil is invaluable. Obviously, we can't measure the number of worms or pieces of organic humus, but...
  • Imaging

  • Imaging A few issues presented themselves with respect to imaging. Monochromatic sensor First, a monochromatic sensor was not available for experiments.  To keep the resolution high enough at the sensor, all pixels were color gain balanced to operate...
  • Make Flex sections

  • a. Cut a small piece of 5 hole x 2 hole perfboard that is big enough to contain a resistor, flex sensor, and 2 wires. b. Place resistor into perfboard.(10k for section 0, 24k for section 1, 56k for section 3) c. Place flex sensor into board. d. Connect...
