- Parker built the circuit and programmed the Photon in under 5 minutes
- Building an IoT Device
- Spec Sensors 3SP Ethanol 1000
- Low Power Consumption of around 10 to 50 uW
- 0-1000ppm Ethanol range
- It has 3 analog outputs
- Vgas which is proportional to the gas we are measuring
- Vref which is around half the supply voltage and is used as a fixed zero reference
- Vtemp is the temperature of the sensor used to set the temperature compensation
- Particle Photon reading the analog outputs of the Spec Sensors 3SP Ethanol 1000
- Posts to the cloud about the status of the sensors
- Code for this can be found here
