SWI 04: Socket2 Sensor reading

Turn on the Smart Water Ions Sensor Board and reads the DI sensor connected in the SOCKET2 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 NO3 Sensor Probe 1 x Single Junction Reference Probe 1 x NO3 Calibration Kit (for those sensors which require calibration)

Notes

- The NO3 Sensor Probe must be used with the Single Junction Reference Probe. - The NO3 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.
