This week, we did a complete successful test of the sensor network, using temperature sensors in place of the CO2 sensors. With three nodes, data was gathered, sent through the main node to a computer, which printed the data to a CSV file which was...
The main focus for this week was on the sensor network. We did a lot of work on the communication between nodes, and tested their ability to daisy chain between each other to reach the central computer. [caption id="attachment_12220" align="alignnone" width="300"] A sensor node stored in...
Wow! The internship is already halfway done. I've been having such a great time here that time has really been flying by. This week, I worked on three projects: creating a data map, managing heat for the Picarro instruments on the roof, and creating an apparatus...
This week at the University of Utah began with testing the CO2 sensor. Andrew, Charlie and I went on the Union roof to check that it would actually detect CO2 accurately, using the Panda Express vent on the roof. We first put the sensor as...
