Kit Arduino ESERO - Datalog + BMP280

Description

Here is a kit of components designed to environmental data exploration. If you can log data (write to a file) like pressure variation at floor level, this kit was made to learn the variation of pressure and temperature vs altitude.
The pressure diminue as the altitude increase (take a look to our article about the PNM pressure - pressure normalised at sea level)

This kit allows you to create an introduction workshop with an overview of basic input/ouput with Arduino to switch followed by a data capture + data logging session.

Some soldering operations should be foreseen (See also this "Soldering training kit" if you need to train about soldering).

Courses sample:

• Installing Arduino
• First step - Blink the board LED wired on the pin #13
• Wire and control an external LED
• Use the Serial Debugger - See the messages sent with Serial.println()
• Detect the pressure on a button
• Software unbouncing (for inputs like button)
• Exercice:
  
  • Turn off the red LED when the button is pressed
  • Blink the green LED (5 times) when the button is pressed. The Red LED must be switch off during green LED blinking.
• The TMP36, temperature sensor with analog output
• The BMP280, barometric senseur - display the pression and temperature
  A first introduction to advance I2C bus sensor
• DataLogger Shield - initialize the real time clock
• DataLogger Shield - Write environemental data on the SD Card
  
  • Use the CSV file format (basic tabular data storage for spreadsheet software)
  • The TMP36 temperature data
  • The BMP280 pressure and temperature data
• Reuse the saved data in spreadsheet - graphical display

Content

This kit is composed of the following:

• An official Arduino Uno
• An USB A/B câble
• DataLog Shield (Adafruit) - RTC battery included
• SD/microSD 8Go card
• Half size Breadboard
• TMP36 - analog temperature sensor
• BMP280 - barometric and pressure sensor
• Stacking Header for Arduino R3
• Wire assortment
  
  • 10x 30cm male-male wire
  • 20x 10cm male-male wire
• 1x tact switch (large, this component) + 100 Ohms + 10KOhms resistors
• 1x red LED
• 1x green LED
• 2x 470 Ohms resistor (for the LEDs)
• 1x slim tactile switch
  Identical to this product, this button can be used to signal the end of logging session (and the time for the sketch to close the log file).
