SWI 06: Socket4 Sensor Reading

Turn on the Smart Water Ions Sensor Board and reads the Ions sensor connected in the SOCKET4 printing the result through the USB. In this case we are going to measure Chloride 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 Chloride Sensor Probe 1 x Single Junction Reference Probe 1 x Chloride Calibration Kit (for those sensors which require calibration)

Notes

- The Chloride Sensor Probe must be used with the Double Junction Reference Probe. - The Chloride 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.
