Add-on sensors, etc

$1.00 to $11.00

See descriptions below

 

These accessories can only be added to orders for the SkyPod Kit, Nano Logger Kit, or Mini Pearl Logger Kit (no shipping costs are included here). If you have ordered those kits, add as many of these to your order as you wish (add them to your cart one at a time). 

Most of the sensors below are I2C sensors and each includes a 10 cm four wire cable with DuPont connectors for easy attachment to the Nano Logger. Male headers are already soldered to each sensor. The DS18B20 is a one wire sensor.

sensors_20170729-0198.jpgDS18B20 2m:  $4.50  1-wire temperature sensor. Cable is 2m (78") long. Waterproof and ready for outdoor use. Includes a resistor which must be included in the circuit. Either 3.3 volt or 5 volt operation. Getting started info. Research notes.

Accessories:

sensors_20170729-0235ps.jpgUART adapter cable: $3.50  FTDI FT232RL USB to TTL Serial Converter Adapter. The Arduino Pro Mini does not have a USB port, so a device like this is needed to load programs onto the Pro Mini. Set jumper to 3.3V for use with the Pro Mini. A 6-wire Dupont cable is included to connect the pins on the Pro Mini with the FTDI adapter pins. A USB cable is included to connect the adapter to your computer. Either 3.3v or 5v operation via jumper.
