SW 02: ORP sensor

Turn on the Smart Water Board and reads the ORP 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 Oxidation-Reduction potential Sensor 1 x ORP Calibration kit

Notes

- The calibration offset value selected in the code is an example for a specific sensor, each unit will require its own calibration parameter. - Introduce a '0' for the offset if calibration is not to be performed. - If the sensor has been kept stored for long it may take longer to reach a steady output. - This example is valid for Waspmote v12 and Waspmote v15
