TL;DR:
This post details the materials, sensors, and motivation behind the atmospheric measurement board used in the FIELD (Frequency & Intensity Experiments on Leaf Development) project. Here’s a laundry list of the components I used to build this circuit:
Tools:
- FNIRSI Soldering station: Soldering station with numerous features & helping hands [Link]
- Solder smoke absorber: Efficiently removes solder smoke from the workplace [Link]
- Heat-shrink solder kit: Kit to add heat-shrinking sleeves around metal connections [Link]
Hardware:
- Raspberry Pi: Handles logic, signals, and interfaces between modules, data, and commands [Link]
- Prototype PCB: Printed circuit board (PCB) for circuit organization and signal transfer [Link]
- Solid wire kit: 22 AWG wire to make connections between PCB board nodes [Link]
- PCM5102A: Sends the AD9833 its configuration over SPI ,telling it waveform type (sine) and frequency [Link]
- JQC-3FF-S-Z: Handles the pump data and commands [Link]
