Raspberry Pi GertBoard with DHT11 and EC/pH Transmitter

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

Hello there!!

 

 

I'm working on a prototype for enviromental monitoring.

 

I bought the last Raspberry Pi and the last GertBoard; i connected them with a home made ribbon cable (already tested with digital multimeter).

 

I need to get some data from two different enviroments: air and water.

 

Air monitoring:

- Temperature (°C)

- Humidity (RH %)

 

Water monitoring:

- PH (PH)

- EC (micro/S)

 

For the temperature and the humidity i bought the DHT11, a cheap but accurate sensor that i'm pretty sure you already know something about it.. Uses a single-wire serial interface.

 

For the water, i bought the two sensors conneted to a little unit.

This little unit gives me out two separate isolated analog signals: 0 - 5 Vdc.

 

Unit Specs.

""

Model A1005 EC/pH Transmitter with isolated outputs.

EC Range: 0-5 EC or 0-5000micro/S  . Error 2% .

pH Range: 0-14pH . Error .2%.

Outputs: EC 0-5vdc , pH 0-5vdc isolated.

Calibration: Trim pots for both EC and pH

""

 

 

Now the question: how should i connect all this parts together to get the best results?

 

 

Can you help me also to start writing the program?

I need to print the four values on the screen.

 

 

(maybe C is the best way, but if you have better suggestion i will be happy)

 

After this i will have to write some digital outputs, but i think it will be the easiest part..

 

Waiting answers.. Many thanks everybody for your help!

 

(I'm italian, sorry for my bad english!!!)

    Hi Federico,

     

    Read the manual of the gertboard

     

    http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1683444.pdf

     

    they explain how to do what you want to do. you can connect your EC and PH meters to the AD inputs (2).

    Go to the Raspberry Pi site to see example of One wire connections

     

    Good luck with your project.
