Ag xtr 06: SP-510 sensor reading

Basic example that turns on, reads and turn off the sensor. Measured parameters are stored in the corresponding class variables and printed by the serial monitor.

Required Materials

- 1 Waspmote Plug & Sense! Smart Agriculture Xtreme - 1 SP-510 sensor

Notes

- This example is only valid for Waspmote v15

    ----------- [Ag_xtr_06] - SP-510 sensor reading --------------------

    Explanation: Basic example that turns on, reads and turn off the
    sensor. Measured parameters are stored in the corresponding class
    variables and printed by the serial monitor.

    Measured parameters:
      - Shortwave radiation
      - Sensor voltage

  SELECT THE RIGHT SOCKET FOR EACH SENSOR.

  Possible sockets for this sensor are:
  - XTR_SOCKET_B       _________
  - XTR_SOCKET_C      |---------|
  - XTR_SOCKET_E      | A  B  C |
  - XTR_SOCKET_F      |_D__E__F_|


  Example: a 5TM sensor on socket A will be
  [Sensor Class] [Sensor Name] [Selected socket]
  Decagon_5TM    mySensor      (XTR_SOCKET_A);

  Refer to the technical guide for information about possible combinations.
