Clear enclosure dataloggers
We have had a number of Arduino dataloggers deployed for a couple years now. The first ones were based on the Arduino Pro boards and a datalogger shield from Adafruit. Our newest version is based on the Seeeduino Stalker board. It’s handy because it has a built-in real time clock (RTC), solar charging circuitry, a microSD memory card slot, and an XBee radio socket. On top of the Stalker ...[Read More]
Protecting circuits from moisture
I have had several questions lately asking what is the best way to prevent corrosion on the datalogger circuit boards. Even if your boards are deployed in a waterproof enclosure, they will be subjected to high humidity inside the case, usually caused by condensation in the air in the box. Occasionally you might also get a stick, leaf, wire, or something else that crosses the edge of the waterpro...[Read More]
Getting Started with Arduino
If you are new to Arduino and are wondering what you need to buy to get started with making your own datalogger, things have just gotten a lot easier.

Welcome to EnviroDIY
Welcome to our blog on dataloggers, sensors, and other open source hardware projects. We have created this site as a way of sharing our ideas, designs, and source code so other researchers and hobbyists can follow along with what we are developing. Hopefully this will be a collaborative effort where we can trade knowledge and build some innovative new hardware projects together. During the first...[Read More]
