My new hue outdoor (SML004) reports wildly different lux values than my old (SML002).

Direct sunlight: old - 25000+, new: 7000+. That's a three fold difference, atleast.

I had a spare #CGM #sensor, so with my SO we now get to see the power of non-#diabetic #pancreas in action. And holy fuck, 100g of sweet bun, so I'd say 50g of carbs, +5 from milk in coffee and +5 from a biscuit, and half an hour after that they peaked at 125 mg/dL, and after another half an hour were barely above 100.
Meanwhile me after about 70g and a bunch of insulin and a bit of exercising and I failed to not go above 200 about 2h after.

Finally, I have the first complete working prototype of the temperature sensor for large-scale composting I was working on 🥳

The circuit uses the Xiao ESP32S3 board with a DS18B20 temperature sensor probe and three NiMH low-self-discharge cells.

The sealed enclosure is made with standard heat fusion water pipes of 1/2" and 1" diameter.

The measurements are sent over HTTP to a backend once per hour, with an expected battery life of 1 to 2 years.

The Case For Remote Sensing Of Individual Plants

https://doi.org/10.1002/ajb2.1347 <-- shared short article

# interpretation

aerial images - High-resolution images from the Planet Labs constellation of cube-sats detect flowering individual trees in the Peruvian Amazon (yellow objects in panel A) and Colombian Amazon (pink objects in panel B). Many thousands of flowering individuals are apparent across hundreds of kilometers of Amazonian forest in these flowering events. Scale bar = 500 m.
aerial and oblique remotesensing-created images - Drone remote sensing of individual trees. (A) Ultra-high-density drone lidar resolves individual tree structure in a temperate beech forest in the southern Czech Republic. Colors indicate elevation, and the tallest trees are about 40 m aboveground. Measurement density here is 4323 points per square meter. (B) High-spatial resolution optical remote sensing from a low-altitude drone in the Atlantic lowlands of Costa Rica. We used methods from computer vision to construct three-dimensional scene geometry from two-dimensional images. The image is a natural color composite. (C) Same area as B, but colored by surface elevation, where warmer colors indicate taller objects. A single Goethalsia meiantha crown is outlined in white. The area of this crown is 157.3 m2. At a pixel size of 1 cm, this crown contains 1.573 × 106 pixels, demonstrating the tremendous increase in measurement density at high-spatial resolution. Scale bar in B and C = 30 m.

Hi👋 everybody from CSE. Have fun exploring the . is just part of it.

If folks have suggestions requests for some CS Graduate student teams to build something for the Fedi as a class project reply below. They’ll see it or I’ll bring it to class for sure.

Maybe @lisamelton
Or @atomicpoet boost this for visibility. 🙏

Hi everyone, in this video I connected a digital temperature sensor (DS18B20) to Commodore 64 and did some non-scientific measurements :) To make this work, I implemented a 1-wire protocol in the assembly. Enjoy :)

Doing a school assignment on a very general topic, I chose to do things around farming and it's destructive effects/how to help it using low-cost technologies. Been doing research into the possibilities of NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) sensors as a mesh network to help map out soil nutrient levels.

Found this post on the arduino forums which puts it well: https://forum.arduino.cc/t/npk-soil-nutrients-measurement-sensor-for-mesh-network/676058/10

From what I have seen, NPK sensors seem to be quite expensive, going in the range of hundreds. But there are models on aliexpress for under $30, so I assume it may just be a matter of distribution and manufacturing may not be that expensive. Soil moisture sensors are obviously much cheaper and can be directly built into the main PCB for such a device.

Then use something like LoRa to set them all up in a mesh network, and it seems like this could be viable for putting, say, 1 sensor every 2 or 3 acres, depending on the size of the field. Assuming $40 per sensor if there is a way to get cheap NPK detectors, that means only $1000 to cover an 80 acre field...which would pay for itself in the savings for water and the yeild after the correct amount of soil nutrients is added. Probably.

As with most things like this, actually mass-producing would be much cheaper than making a prototype per sensor, because of deals with suppliers for the sensor and such.

I am probably going to do a follow-up look into this after the assignment because I am still very interested with all this.
