Question about new modules #13

Closed isobianin closed 3 years ago

isobianin commented 4 years ago

A gas sensor and temperature/humidity sensors are added. However, it seems that their price may be higher than those modules that are already available on a market. Despite this, I still believe that our platform should have its own modules solely to create a self-reliant system which can be used without external hardware but in the same time it permits use of other sensors and actuators. Is this principle correct?

amchagas commented 4 years ago

That is a good question :) I agree that we should have some working examples for sensors that would allow people to start measuring things easily. Would you mind sharing the links to the ones you mention are already available in the market?

isobianin commented 4 years ago

Gas sensor - this one and more on this website; grove and there is more Humidity and temperature sensor - grove, this and counting. There is also DHT22 version, which is bigger in size and better in accuracy.

It is good to hear that we are doing the right thing with the development of additional modules.

This issue is related to #14

amchagas commented 4 years ago

considering issue #14 maybe we should think about:

isobianin commented 4 years ago

I think that would be the case here. #12 is definitely needed and I will focus on that. I will add more explanation in the respective issue as soon as I will have sufficient information

Regarding grove examples, yes, indeed it is a good solution.

This issue was answered a long time ago and all new modules that need clarification have their own "issues" sections. Furthermore, in one of the latest updates, I adjusted gas and temperature/humidity sensors to have the pinouts exactly like Grove's ones.
