Wireless access comes in many forms – the cellular access is quite extraordinary in how useful it’s been – untethered access. There are hidden undercurrents for remote sensing M2M (machine-2-machine) – cellular technology shoals that can beach the unwary. I got beached – so I’m sharing it. Whether or not it’s on Sparkfun or publiclaboratories.org  low cost cellular modems are being discussed and p...[Read More]

A fun project was using the Electric IMP001 to communicate with an RS485 pressure transducer. The readings are delivered to the cloud and use the nice (and evolving) services of thingspeak.net. The starting point was to test the stability of an RS485 pressure sensor – and check out the then new IMP001 – two projects in one. Stability testing a pressure transducer is putting it into a bottle of wat...[Read More]

Wow what a great place to share about sensors. My passion has been the interface between the real world and the digital domain. The world as we know it always has layers – so while we aim for a visualized story of some aspect of the real world – say temperature or stream depth– there are many aspects of collecting the data. Last year I bought a Honeywell Internet thermostat that allows me to see a...[Read More]
