 All the computer code is downloadable, and the data you store comes on a USB memory stick that you simply upload to the Digital Ocean. We will even provide the circuit board. All you have to do is solder a few components, add a 9-volt battery, and check back in a few hours to see your data.

Coming Summer 2009
Have you ever wanted to help save the world? This is one place to begin. With the SP Sensor Suite, you'll be up and running with the Digital Ocean water quality monitoring database used and updated by citizens and scientists throughout the world.
The data you help collect will track climate change, water levels, and just about anything else you want to track. That data is instantly made available worldwide and used in classrooms and research facilities. The best part is that you make the sensors, and you add the data.
What is the Sensor Suite?
The Sensor Suite is a microcontroller-based platform that you can easily make in a few hours for less than $100. In its stock form, it monitors:
- Water Temperature
- Depth
- Light
- Conductivity
And it is infinitely expandable to allow for any sensor you design. |
