The Bald SENSE Wing monitors environmental data with Feather and CircuitPython
Bald Engineer’s open source FeatherWing has temperature, humidity, light, color, proximity, and sound-sensing for environmental monitoring.
After moving into a new lab, I needed to collect environmental data about the space. So, I developed a FeatherWing called Bald SENSE. This adaptable PCB is packed with sensors, including temperature and humidity, color, light, and even a PDM microphone, to provide a robust environmental monitoring platform.
The PCB contains a variety of sensors, including temperature/humidity (SHT31), color/lux (APDS-9060), and a PDM microphone. With a DS3131 real-time-clock RTC, coin cell battery holder (for the RTC), and a micro SD card socket, Bald SENSE mates with (almost) any Feather board, enabling it to log data offline or transmit sensor data wirelessly.
CircuitPython provided an excellent rapid development environment.
Bald SENSE is an open source hardware and firmware project. You can download the design files, code, and enclosure STLs from this GitHub repository. For more background information about the project, check out the Bald SENSE blog post.
