This Arduino compatible shield was developed as part of the microcontrollers course that we developed for the Environment Agency in the UK. This shield and Arduino libraries provide training hardware that is representative of the types of sensor connections used for environmental monitoring in shield format, so it can be connecected directly to an Arduino or Arduino compatible microcontroller board.

Features:

  • Micro SD card slot,
  • Battery backed real time clock (RTC),
  • 16 bit analog to digital converter (ADC),
  • Connectors for:
    • 2, 3 & 4 wire 4-20mA sensors,
    • SDI-12,
    • 0–5V analog input,
    • 0–2V analog input.
  • Sensor power can be switched by the microcontroller.

This product is delivered to your training course on the day. See below for delivered shields

Red-Peg Training Shield

Built to order. 

An Arduino-compatible shield with environmental sensor inputs. This is for training use, although the inputs and capabilities are representative of commercial sensor units.

Features:

  • 4-20mA sensor input, 2,3,4-wire and clamped test points,
  • SDI-12 input
  • 16 bit analog to digital converter (ADC) with 0-5V and 0-2V inputs
  • battery backed real time clock (RTC) with 1 second accuracy (DS1307),
  • Micro SD card slot for onboard data storage,
  • slave microprocessor for data collection so your main proccessor can focus on data transfer,
  • switched sensor power for low power use.
