New Dev Kit PCB

New Developers Kit hardware for the Raspberry Pi platform is undergoing final testing.

This is an interim solution - a step towards the goal of a complete turnkey system.


Features:

  • Plug and Play - all the sensors plug in.
  • 12 VDC power supply with battery voltage monitoring
  • Supports
    • HX711 24 bit ADC and 4 load cells in parallel.
    • two DHT22 temperature/humidity sensors.
    • TSL2591 Lux sensor
    • Rain Gauge


Plug and Play. Telco RJ11 (6P4C) connectors are used for all sensors. These are gold plated, self wiping, inexpensive, readily available, crimp on with an inexpensive crimping tool.
