SW 01: pH sensor

Turn on the Smart Water Board and reads the pH sensor extracting the value from the calibration values and temperature compensation

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote 1 x Battery 1 x Smart Water Sensor Board 1 x pH Sensor 1 x pH Calibration Kit (for those sensors which require calibration) 1 x PT1000 temperature sensor (for temperature compensation)

Notes

- The calibration values selected in the code are an example for a specific sensor, each unit will require its own calibration parameters. - If the sensor has been kept stored for long it may take longer to reach a steady output. - In case calibration or temperature compensation are considered unnecessary function pHConversion can be called without them. Take a look at section “API” of the Smart Water Technical Guide for more information. - This example is valid for Waspmote v12 and Waspmote v15

    Explanation: Turn on the Smart Water Board and reads the pH sensor
    extracting the value from the calibration values and temperature
    compensation
