Models
There are some defined configurations of Waspmote Plug & Sense! depending on which sensors are going to be used. Waspmote Plug & Sense! configurations allow to connect up to six sensor probes at the same time.
Each model takes a different conditioning circuit to enable the sensor integration. For this reason, each model allows connecting just its specific sensors.
This section describes each model configuration in detail, showing the sensors which can be used in each case and how to connect them to Waspmote. In many cases, the sensor sockets accept the connection of more than one sensor probe. See the compatibility table for each model configuration to choose the best probe combination for the application.
It is very important to remark that each socket is designed only for one specific sensor, so they are not interchangeable. Always be sure you have connected the probes in the right socket. Otherwise, they can be damaged.
In the next table we show the sensor board which corresponds to each Plug & Sense! model:
