Important integrations to Loom to expand into Hydrological community

[udellc]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We want to increase the offerings of this system to a broader range of communities and scientists. Specifically those studying water. There are currently-existing sensor products and libraries that are widely used in the hydrological community. We'd like to integrate support for these in the Loom system.

Describe the solution you'd like We should identify key sensors that have already been integrated in open-source systems like this one, and integrate and test: https://github.com/EnviroDIY/ModularSensors#supported-sensors-

We should also identify key sensors and capabilities that current open systems do not offer to distinguish our system from others.

Describe alternatives you've considered SmartRock was OPEnS hydro-oriented solution, and may continue to be to some extent. However, WeatherChimes is much more capable and workshop and STEAM education friendly, with more formal curriculum and documentation developed. Integrating a broader range of products into the Loom system would increase the audiences we can apply our solutions towards.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

The Yosemitech and Atlas sensor libraries are in particular the first ones we should try to integrate

Viable sensors that do not require significant or any voltage level shifting, e.g. 3V compatible are: https://atlas-scientific.com/probes/co2-sensor/ https://atlas-scientific.com/embedded-solutions/ezo-dissolved-oxygen-circuit/ https://atlas-scientific.com/embedded-solutions/ezo-orp-circuit/

• skip the EC product, we have a better 4-pin one we will offer https://atlas-scientific.com/embedded-solutions/ezo-ph-circuit/

Looks like Yosemitech: water quality sensors will require at least a 5V power supply, 5V Logic Level Converter, AND RS485 port in order to become compatible. e.g. http://en.yosemitech.com/upLoad/down/month_2005/202005111004391887.pdf

For the Atlas Scientific sensors, we could include this color sensor (good for algae blooms) https://files.atlas-scientific.com/EZO_RGB_Datasheet.pdf
