Spark Core Alpha 0.4 Version
The Alpha sensor kit is able to measure:
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Weight
- Audio frequency
It uses 2x DHT22 Temperature and Humidity sensors and 2x DS18B20 Temperature Sensors.
The application is built upon a unified sensor framework that allows for adding different sensors in the future. NOTE: v0.4 implements the weight and audio sensors without the unified sensor framework -> will be done in the future.
List of equipment in the Alpha Version
- (1) DHT22 sensor is used for monitoring outdoor Temperature and Humidity
- (1) DHT22 sensor is used for monitoring hive Temperature and Humidity
- (2) DS18B20 sensors are for monitoring Temperatures in other locations inside the beehive.
- (1) H30A Load Cell is used for measuring weight of the hive
- (1) Microphone is used to record bees inside the hive
- (1) microSD CARD to store data
Data is collected every ten minutes and reported to a internet server running the SparkFun Phant database. In Parallel Data can be saved offline to the SD Card.
