Atlas Scientific + Adafruit Sensors (Hydroponics)

[Vitor_Morgensztern]

Hi Kyle,

We are high school students located in Brazil and we are developing a fogponic system inspired by your automated hydroponic design. We have bought all the materials necessary to add the automated part to our fogponic system but we are having some difficulties figuring out the sensors. Some of our sensors are of a newer model thus the images and explanations you have on your site aren’t really applicable to us.

The sensors/boards we are having problems with are: an Atlas Scientific carrier board as it came by itself and we do not know which sensor to connect it with (doesn’t seem to be in your build guide video); the Atlas Scientific water temperature sensor as it came with two pieces, one connected to the sensor and one that isn’t, and we do not know how to connect the other piece to the sensor; the Adafruit temperature and humidity sensor mini-board, as it came by itself and we do not know if it should be connected to another board and where exactly in the build it should be located.

Thanks

Atlas Scientific water temperature sensor as it came with two pieces, one connected to the sensor and one that isn’t

The connector the temperature probe wire is connected to is essential as it’s the only way to break out the wire connections to actual breadboard or PCB-friendly pins. These will connect to the EZO circuit board directly via either a breadboard or any other connection method you want to use. The EZO board will then connect to your computer via either I2C or UART.

This is not needed for the temperature sensor you have shown in the image.

This is simply connected as any other I2C device would be, 2 DC voltage pins (positive and ground) and 2 I2C pins (clock and data). See Connecting the Sensors, LCD, and Pump.
