SWI 03: Socket1 Sensor Reading

Turn on the Smart Water Ions Sensor Board and reads the Ion sensor connected in the SOCKET1 printing the result through the USB. In this case we are going to measure Calcium Ion, but all Ions can be connected in the four available sockets.

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote 1 x Battery 1 x Smart Water Ions Sensor Board 1 x Calcium Sensor Probe 1 x Single Junction Reference Probe 1 x Calcium Calibration Kit (for those sensors which require calibration)

Notes

- The Calcium Sensor Probe must be used with the Single Junction Reference Probe. - The Calcium Sensor, can be connected in any of the four available sockets. - The calibration process of the ions sensors is described in the technical guide. - It advisable to measure the temperature of the calibration solution. - This example can be executed in Waspmote v12 and Waspmote v15.
